What's the point of paying for YouTube Premium if you get ads anyway?

As far as I'm aware, the big "problem" with Mastodon (and the Fediverse as a whole) is that you have to choose an instance to join. It's an aditional step that mainstream social media does not have and it's already enough to push regular people away. It's kinda like trying to convince a Windows user to jump ship to Linux, by the time you begin explaining what a distro is you've already lost them.

Huh, I thought this would be about a new device. I guess Anbernic's release schedule has spoiled me.

I do not envy any insect going into battle against ants. Do the ladybugs even stand a chance?

It was, indeed. The group has grown a lot since then but the original name has stuck.

That doesn't mean much. Iran and Saudi Arabia also are in it and they hate each other.

And just for the sake of completion, yes, it also has an Epic store page.

My friend down the street had an LX back in '83. It was an amazing device but sadly way too ahead of its time.

They opened up a genre of gaming to people that would have never even considered it.

Can confirm, that was my case. Before this game the closest thing to a turn-based CRPG I had played was KOTOR, now I've already purchased DOS:2 and I'm looking forward to Larian's next title.

Do I need a foldable phone? No. Do I like the idea of owning a phone that is actually small enough to be used with one hand and can fit anywhere? Yes. Besides, closing it to end a call is very cool.
