Hi folks -- I have been very pleased by the initial interest in Rock Paper Sweeper, and I am proud to announce that it is now publicly released: https://puleo.itch.io/rps

That means it can now be shared without the awkward embedded password in the URL. I will likely be posting a cart on the Lexaloffle BBS within the next few days.

If this is the first you're hearing of it, Rock Paper Sweeper is a #minesweeper -like logic game built in #pico8 . The central idea is that each tile in the 6x6 board bears the symbol of one of three "forms": Rock, Paper, and Scissors. To reveal tiles, you must adopt one of these three forms. Revealing a tile with a symbol that defeats your form -- for example, revealing Rock while you are in Scissors form -- is a game-over. Thus, you must deduce which tiles are safe for your current form, changing forms when necessary. The goal is to reveal the entire board.

All boards are built so as to be solvable by pure deduction, without any guessing.

Google claim that their upcoming laptop is the "perfect partner to your Android phone" because you can "access files from your phone as if they live on your laptop" - but did you know that this is already possible, no special laptop model needed?

KDE Connect is completely free and open source software (FOSS) to link your devices together, supported by the @kde charity. It works on almost all phone models, and it does more than just allow you to access your phone's storage. For example, with KDE Connect your phone immediately becomes a remote control for music or videos playing on your laptop or desktop PC!

Don't get drawn in by the slick marketing - you don't need AI to make your life easier with technology, and most of the features large software companies such as Google are promoting have already been thoughtfully implemented by dedicated volunteers in the FOSS community.
