As a follow up, possible Iranian malware be damned, this turned out to be the smoothest running version of the game that I tried.
BitDefender didn’t find anything, but of course that doesn’t mean anything after you have the app installed.
Others that I tried had Chinese stuff on bootup, and stuttered when running.
I haven’t bought anything off Amazon for years.
If I can’t find it locally, then I will literally go to any website other than Amazon: The manufacturer’s website, department store websites, Target, eBay, trying to avoid Walmart.
I did find an APK on some outfit called apkvision.org, installed it, but it had something something about Iran, so I probably now have Iranian malware on my phone. 😓
It’s complicated…
If you take the example of 1985’s Live Aid

Questions about the fundraising organization’s lack of oversight into how the money was spent, vs. bringing the world’s attention to a desperate situation.
Maybe a better comparison is the Farm Aid concert series that has been regularly held since 1985.
Small family farms continue to struggle, and likewise, climate change ensures that wildfires will only get worse.
The Farm Aid org does some interesting work on changing farming for the better, encouraging young people to enter the farming business, and promoting sustainable farming practices. https://modernfarmer.com/2015/08/farm-aid-30-anniversary/
Maybe Fire Aid will improve attitudes and policies about housing in the age of climate change, maybe even around climate change itself.
Keep in mind that Nigeria is the 15th largest oil-producing state, at 1.65 million barrels of oil per day in 2024, just behind #14 Qatar with 1.8 million barrels, and #13 Kazakhstan with 1.9 million barrels.
Nigeria should be wealthy, and rolling in cash.
Plague Inc. comes in at the top of a search in the Play Store for “pandemic” but I understand that it’s kind of a reverse concept of the Pandemic boardgame: You try to wipe out those pesky humans by developing an incurable virus.
I might be inclined to give it a try if I can’t find a decent implementation of Pandemic.
If it improves billionaires’ lives, they’ll make it happen.

That will be really wild, if they can get it to work.
I can’t imagine that the tooth growing process will be very fast though. I’d guess months to a year, or even longer if they want to be careful about it.
…and they’re modest, or ironic too!
But birds definitely aren’t real.
Birds might be posting on Lemmy too, which indicates they’re unusually intelligent.
The honeybees might have come back a lot faster if the US had not turned to chemical miticides and selected for varroa mite resistance instead.
Instead, the vast majority of commercial beekeepers are producing chemical-dependent bees, which is not good in the long term. But chemical miticide producers are happy to make profits.
Because of the ways that honeybees mate, i.e. the virgin queen mates with several drones randomly on her mating flight, the mass of chemical-dependent genetics waters down any progress made in spreading varroa resistant genetic lines.
Modern beekeeping is a lot more complicated with beekeepers having to keep to a strict timetable of varroa treatment to keep their colonies alive.
What Jeri announcement?
But don’t take LeVar’s word for it!
Now that the sticker has made national headlines, it’s now a collectible, so collectors, maybe even speculators, are going to pay money to get these…
You gotta represent something to begin with in order to sell out.
Is anyone else not enjoying pretty much naked advertising for… junk?
Azure is MS’s cloud computing. As long as you weren’t using MS OneDrive, or 365 Office, or something else that relied on MS cloud, you’re good.
I wish that made me more confident that they can make decent Trek movies and TV, but it doesn’t
