In ye old'n times we would leave the console on as a stop-gap way to save the game between in-game save opportunities. Because ye old'n times game design philosophy believed that the added difficulty of crazily separated save points was "fun".

In modern times I sleep the hardware if I expect to be back within <24 hrs, and power off if I expect to be longer.

(Thank god for saving memory states in emulators!!! Elsewise I probably wouldn't play retro games at all.)

I'm Lemmy 99%. Can't do 100% because sometimes there isn't an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.

Ugh, you're right! I didn't realize. I'm going to give SpamBlocker a try instead. I just downloaded and flipped through the options and it looks better than "Yet Another Call Blocker" anyway.

You're right, I hadn't noticed that.

Looks like the F-droid version is way behind, because you can see on their GitLab page that the project is still maintained. It'd be best to get the app directly through GitLab I suppose, or add an F-droid repo that has a more up-to-date version.

It can block hidden numbers, if that's what you mean by "private".

I hope you like the app!

[–] GrappleHat@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yes. Go to settings and toggle the Block hidden numbers option

I use Yet Another Call Blocker. It has a custom block list you can use to block a specific number.

The block list also supports wildcard characters, which is my favorite feature! I use it to block swaths of numbers (much of my spam comes from the state I used to live in, so I block those area codes).

I wanna try a drive-in movie! But I guess they were before my time... :(

I set up ProtonVPN on the router for a few months & the family hated it. HATED IT! They were constantly asking me to disable the VPN so they could log in to a site here, or make a credit card payment there. It was a mess.

Eventually I just disabled it on the router & ran my VPN at the device level. Much better now & the family doesn't hate me! :)
