A year or so I turned off targeted ads from Google. I very quickly noticed an increase in ads with anime tiddies.

I guess Google sees a correlation between people who worry about privacy, and people who are likely to click on anime tiddies…

Most of the games I play don’t run on Linux sadly. Even Lethal Company, which is perfectly fine on Linux, couldn’t be captured by OBS, so I had to switch to Windows before I could stream.

Game compatibility is getting better but still not good

I’m nervous about how long it’ll be until those stop working

Going from 256GB -> 1TB is $400. That’s insanity. A 1TB NVME drive is less than $100 these days.

For me the real value is that a good password manager makes it easier to not use “login with Google” for everything

1. Ditch Chromium.
2. Use a Password Manager instead of “log in with Google/Facebook/whatever”
3. Keep tabs on Mobile App permissions and revoke as many as you possibly can. I revoke location permissions from every single app except Navigation apps, which have to ask for location permissions. If possible, remove apps in favor of Native Alpha / Hermit web apps

I just bought in to mulvad today via Tailscale, so far so good, I like it!

I daily Pop OS, it’s overall pretty good. Drivers are super easy to deal with, and the Pop Shop has a lot of game-related apps ready to install. Biggest headache is that sometimes my Mic just won’t work and I have to reboot. That, and steam does Vulkan Shader Compilation on every game launch it seems, which can be a pain

Use a Zigbee controller or Zigbee USB stick on a controller, and Zigbee lights. I’m planning to switch to that myself

I can’t run Easy Anti Chat

This was definitely going to be my answer too

Probably misspoke saying the browser is what detected it, but the first time I went to print anything was from Firefox and the printer was already there.

I just bought one last week and holy shit you aren’t joking. Our Canon was malfunctioning for the last 2 years, so I finally bought a refurbed B&W Brother Laser. I’ve never had a printer just work like this. I didn’t even have to connect to it. My browser just automatically detected it, even on Linux.

Film photography. Started with a camera I got for free, and $20 worth of film. Quickly spiraled into many cameras that I bought or inherited, and so much money on film and development

Finally, an emoji that’s worth being that big

I think this is the best answer here. The theatrical Palace scene had such a good tone, they totally ruined it when they added Jedi Rocks.

This is my biggest pet peeve. One data point can’t be exponentially more than one other data point without context.

If people still want to sound “smart” because they used a fancy math word, you can say “orders of magnitude more experienced.”

Another bump for Proton. My wife and I share an account with a few different addresses each going to their own folder. (One for me, one for her, one for shopping, one for spam, etc) Their VPN is great too and includes ad/tracker blocking.

There’s a really good third-party Photoprism app on F Droid. So much nicer than using the web app.

10 minute burner emails are such a godsend.
