The day Windows 10 loses support is the day I primary (or solo) boot Linux on my gaming desktop. The more news I read the more certain I am in this.

I just started the Kagi trial this morning, so far I’m impressed how accurate and fast it is. Do you find 300 searches is enough or do you pay for unlimited?
Wasn’t there ads for Obama in Burnout Paradise? An EA game, too.
I have Prime and still pirated it, because the website and app are such a mess
Honestly, I pay for YouTube Premium but I still use Revanced and NewPipe for the extra features. Why can’t they just leave me alone?
I don’t drive, and because traveling is always a direct cost to me ($20 Uber each way to the mall just to watch a movie hurts), I’m not convinced when my friends tell me how much money I’m saving. But with stuff like this, maybe I am actually saving money…
Man, I missed Brueggers. I’ve had something similar minus the bacon, it’s cursed but definitely better than I expected
I chipped in when my friend bought Paranoia Agent on Blu-ray because he promised me the digital copy, so this does affect me. Granted, after learning the news I “found” some rips online for my NAS, but still. It’s not okay.
Isn’t this just Ready Player One?
This looks interesting. Can I automatically import transactions from banks, like what Mint does? I see there’s a web app I can put on my nas that might handle that, but not sure.
OpenMediaVault (Debian), it’s the perfect amount of tinkering and simplicity for my first nas/homeserver
I avoid the news, if it’s important one of my friends or family will tell me. Also, if something is going on but isn’t actionable (I can’t do anything about it) I try not to let it occupy much of my headspace.
You can just set your torrent program to open at startup, as long as you use your computer somewhat often you’ll be fine. Or you can look into a seedbox, it’s cheap
I got around this by just downloading some big freeleech porn packs or a couple new release shows/movies. My highest ratio item is an anime episode I downloaded minutes after release
A private tracker is a torrenting site, like TPB, but is invite-only or has some other barrier to get in. They’re usually safer and faster, bur you have to seed. Also YMMV, obscure things might either not be on there, or have few/no seeds.
Activision Blizzard and Ubisoft because of their abhorrent workplace and business practices. Been boycotting AB since the whole Hong Kong thing, and Ubisoft since the sexual harassment allegations. It also helps that all their games for a while have been mid ow worse.
Still trying to decide if I should draw the line at not giving them money, or not using it at all when it’s something I’ve already paid for
I used to be a lot less lenient in the past, but as I’ve gotten older and DRM and streaming services have gotten worse I’ve been sailing the high seas more. Now I’ll do it if there’s no reasonably easy/convenient way to buy it in my country, if the work is old/big enough that nobody creatively involved is going to notice, or if I already bought the same or similar version in the past (such as wanting a movie for my Plex server that I know my parents have on DVD somewhere). Sometimes I’ll “acquire” something and end up financially supporting it down the line if I like it.
I do agree with some of the other comments though, that for things like software where there’s an alternate FOSS or independent version, I’ll go for that. I’ve begun getting in the habit of donating or paying one-time purchases (such as ad removal) on software I use a lot.
I found it via the Podcast Addict search. This is the feed link: https://500songs.com/feed/podcast/
I have a laptop solo booting Ubuntu and a Steam Deck, they’re great. But on my desktop where I’m primarily playing games, many of which wirh anti cheat, it’s not worth making the switch just yet. I think another year of development into Proton and stability will make it worth it. Also, I got a NAS recently with OpenMediaVault and I only have the time to tinker with one thing at a time :P
Any advice on the switch though, or tools you use lmk!
