Warzone player here, I actually had to switch back to windows after like 3 years on mint because of this sadly.

meanwhile apex legends just stopped supporting Linux :|

me and my friends returned to cod after 9 years with this game. we tried MW3 but lost faith as it was a crashing, janky piece of rubbish. but this one man, there is something special again for the first time in so long…

usually Hawaiian sweetbread

I put ketchup on bread and microwave it

I just don’t use torrents anymore, I use xdcc. I used to torrent, but there is so much ransomware, ISP threats, malware, ect. I still use torrents for official things like Linux Isos or Gimp though. Gen z here

more like 5th circus

I used Linux for a long time, like years, as my main os since I was a teenager. (I broadly say Linux because I hopped distro a lot). but ultimately, I hardly even used it by the end because during my creative bursts, I would be using windows exclusive software that was just better than any Foss. then, I would want to play some multiplayer games with my friends, where the anti cheat only worked on windows. this totaled to like 75 percent of my time being used on windows in the end, so I just sucked up to the reality of the situation and hardened windows for privacy and debloating and switched back after so long. if it weren’t for those 2 specific things, I would have probably kept mint as a daily driver forever, it was really stable and nothing else was an issue for me. but the fact is that I (and presumably many other people) don’t want to give up things we enjoy and spend more time bleak and bored just to prove a point to some company that doesn’t know we exist. I’m sure for a lot of people though, daily driving Linux would be fine for things like YouTube or online shopping or whatevsies.

I just never did it, why even replace it. just remove it entirely.

lemmyworld in many ways is still just reddit. don’t get me wrong, I’ve talked to plenty of cool people on there before. but it is the biggest instance that ballooned after the API controversy and a lot of them seem to have just brought Reddit to the fediverse with them. I have no issues with any mods there, I’ve not really seen them at all. they did defed a community from my instance though so that’s pretty lame of them.

I’ve tried many but waterfox has been my home since earlier this year. it comes configured out of the box with about the privacy settings I’d normally use, as well as my preferred userchrome built in.

Kicked me out after high school. I ended up homeless for months. That was years ago, but the psychological damage never goes away. To this day I don’t spend money on furniture because I’m too scared I’ll lose everything again somehow. Even my computers have to be laptops forever now because I feel like if I get a desktop I’ll be fucked into losing it if I end up homeless again.

I’ve been keeping the Pokémon creepy black ROM hack inside my delta emulator for the same reason. It’s interesting to me when people make real ROM hacks out of urban legends and creepypastas.

I’ve been playing Pokémon leaf green. Me and my friend initially started opposite versions together, but he got bored fast because he tried to marathon it and got burnt out. I’ve been playing a little bit each day. Right now I’m in the Pokémon tower about to go to celadon city and get a thunderstone to evolve my Pikachu and Eevee.

about 20 minutes to the grocery store, 5 to the convenience store, about 10 to the bus stop 20 to the park. West coast.

if I’m at work- I go outside to this area that’s not very populated. there is this small brick wall I sit on top of that’s surrounded by grass and trees. at school- always the library. it’s so quiet and most people are in and out quick, it’s so nice to just sit and listen to music in the dim lighting. at home? my room is my only safe place, so I decorate it as hyperfixatey with my personality as possible.

I’ve been getting around it by setting my frontend to use an embed request, that way YouTube thinks it’s a third party embed and the ad injection doesn’t work. I’ve also in the past geospoofed to Russia and that works to block ads too.

theoretically, they could switch the player to use a nocookie embed.

front right is phone. front left is anything else.
