  • Linux has come a long way with gaming fortunately. I daily drive fedora and use Proton-GE/Wine-GE and can play most games with the exception of some problem ones (Assetto Corsa & Rust, I’m looking at you).

    Only time I ever fool with W11 these days is when I use Studio One for music or play on of the (very few) problem games some friends want me to join them on. I’d recommend checking out the Nobara distro for games.

    Not surprising OSX is a better Windows in some ways. Switched to iPhone last summer for my daily driver and don’t regret it. Best mobile experience I’ve had since my custom ROMs days on Android. Even started out setting up app folders to copy my Nova Launcher setup. That said, I’ll be excited when more privacy respecting options come around to the mobile market for my next phone.








  • Had a similar thing happen. Half woke up in a guest room at my grandma’s. Was my uncle’s room. Has a few model cars and this racecar wallpaper with lotus, jaguar, old cars, trophies etc on it. Well my sleepy hardly awake brain saw some creepy ass momo looking mf face as soon as my eyes opened and I threw a haymaker at that bitch! Nope, just quickly faded into a wallpaper pattern.

    Luckily it was barely out of my reach to hit it so hard so it didn’t put a hole there. Just loud thump that probably startled someone.

    I also struggle with this often as a 'Merican expat living in another country, hopefully permanently. Occasionally I wanna catch up on US shit but most of the time I care more about what’s going on in Europe and other places so I couldn’t care less about the perpetually stupid shit happening back in the US.

    I’m still learning the language where I moved to so English news resources that are about other places can be very valuable to me. My main resource (and advice to others with this issue) is using an RSS reader with good sources you find along the way. Not every site has RSS these days but many do. I fill in the blanks with podcasts and stories in the language of my country. Only downside is no discussion unless you post on Lemmy or other social media, but maybe that can become a thing we do. :)








  • It’s guaranteed that they’ll use their instance to datamine and further build profiles on people in other federated instances as well.

    I don’t trust them at all with their handling of data besides their ability to track people who aren’t even on their platforms. Also it’s almost impossible to reach out to them unless you buy their shitty VR headset, as you will find out if someone ever fraudulently takes your account to buy ads with your money and gets your FB account banned.

    Fuck the Zuck.
