I am all up for privacy and I have tried to follow a lot of procedures for it but I have never used VPN (except TOR, which technically is not a VPN).

I actually appreciate the concept of VPN but I think how it is marketed is a bit over exaggeration. VPN is useful when you want to do something securely without the fear of being tracked, access things that are blocked by a tyrannical government, or if you want to watch shows in your region that is not available without VPN (one of the advertisement that VPN providers use). However, I do raise one of my eyebrow a bit on the scale of advertisement VPN put up. E.g. you cannot have not heard about Nord and Surfshark vpn (owned by the same company). I don’t want to complain about their service as they seem to be one of the best ones out there, and customers seem to be satisfied. But I am perplexed how aggressive their advertisement is. Also they make dubious claims in their ads that ASA (UK) had to step in. They also had their servers breached and exposes some private keys as well as some usernaems and passwords.

The same way I am perplexed about the level of advertisement of OperaGx “the gaming browser” and Honey.

I do trust ‘free vpn’ less that vpns.

I see you are not serious about the list. If you were you’d have red star Linux and justin Bieber Linux up there with Hannah Montana Linux and amogOS

I’m waiting for this to be used in USA as “see gun control doesn’t work”

I switched to Wayland. I think I have almost everything working except keepassxc’s global hotkey and autotype. Also certain apps like ardour, I have to manually break components off from the main window and move to different monitor to get the “multi monitor” functions going. This I know they have been trying for 2 years now, anyday now.

I like how US laws are cited. “Can Asians own SUV?”. Yes they can since Mathews vs Jonathan in 1994.

Sounds like they threw two people in the pit and the victor of the bout decided the law on that.

I’m genuinely curious what happens for example if this cis gender boy wants to get married with a cis gender girl. Would that be a gay marriage (I dunno what is the correct term). And if they are in a state where it’s not allowed, how does it go?

(I am not from US. I assume union of same sex is not fully accepted and every state and/or community have different laws and practices)

The German word would be exactly that but in German and without space.

This is how German have a word for everything.

“I use arch … btw”, also btw

For APT enjoyers, alias yay="sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade"

Also, alias nay="yay -Rns"

Or yeet if you prefer, for the yay/nay or yay/yeet pair.

I honestly preferred no sequls, everytime something new. I haven’t played pyre and hades 2. While I liked hades, I was a bit sad when I heard hades 2, instead of something new.

I’m not an expert, but money (sales) is probably the reason. How many of their previous games sold vs Hades.

Also, maybe it’s a bit cynnical to think of it this way, but hades 2 would require much less effort compared to making something new and it will churn sales as the first one has been a success. Additionally, they probably already had good idea and materials for additions to hades. So why not make hades 2 out of them. Maybe after that they will work on something new.

I would Emacs, but my pinky can’t.

Man here. It took me a lot of therapy and help to understand that my (or someone’s) suffering doesn’t mean less just because there are a lot of others who are suffering more.

I used to say crap like this too, if someone said ‘X group of people have this problem’. I’d be like ‘but Y has the same problem but to higher extent’. I didn’t say it out of malice, at least I don’t think so. lt was natural to think ‘how can you be complaning about X when Y has the same problem but more’. Maybe I just believed that first you address the problem with bigger statistical number, then we do the smaller one after that and so on, but I dont know. I know now, that is a shitty way to think about things.

I guess it has something to do with how I was raised, ‘your problems aren’t that great, there are people with bigger problems and in comparison your life is a luxury. So chin up and carry on’. And I lived by it and parroted the same rhetoric for a long time. I believe most people (men?) do the same not out of malice but because of this shitty view of life and the world, because how they were raised, because how people told them how their problem can be ignored because someone else has a bigger problem. and they don’t know any better. At least I didn’t for a long time.

I saw it in some xitter screenshot. The tariff was the 5.5 billion golf course on his name.

I can’t remember did I actually read it or hallucinated it, but I remember something about trump “selling” (auctioned?) “dinner with Trump” events and most of the tickets are bought out by “foreign influence”. He is clearly selling “chance to influence trump over dinner” tickets knowingly.

Jizzed in my pants … in my ass. Doesn’t make sense.

Open source software design sucks because they don’t have desginers (who know git) because they can’t attract designers (who know git) because they don’t have money (free and open source) because they don’t have big userbase (which can lead to more people donating) because oss software design sucks.

Cool it over there. I look like that but I don’t call women females. That was very unwarranted.

1 point. Never rented a video from Blockbuster. But did rent VHS/CD/DVD movies from local chain.

The things I would be ok paying a subscription for:

• Rotating free Games that I get to keep. Like epic but only for subscribers. The game should be mine even after I quit the subscription.
• Extra insights in preservation, or goodies
• voting rights on what games should be free next month for the sunscribers.
• discounted price on games.

Things that I feel it shouldnot be locked behind subscription and paywall:

• tool for backing up offline installers
• ability to install previous versions of game
• and definitely not voting rights on games to bring into the preservation program.

If the tooks for backing up offline installers or ability to install previous versions of game are paywalled, that is going to invite more reasons for piracy.

Did they just assume their species??
