But also for normal users it’s annoying as if you’re in the middle of something like filling out a form, clicking onto the next page will tell you you need to restart your browser, and you lose your progress. So yeah, I’m happy about this change.

I mean, the graphics card issue sounds like a Windows virus to me, so probably would be fixed with a Linux install.

Nothing wrong with being obsessed with a fictional character. Lean into it and find ways of fulfilling the pain you say you are feeling, eg maybe spend more time writing stories about the character to explore things you want to see the character do or go through.

If you really want to “get over it”, then focus on developing other hobbies and interests. Whatever your second biggest interest is, spend more time on that.

Yeah I’m aware of food communities in general, I was just wondering if there was one just for recipes. But looking at the posts there it does seem fairly recipe-centric. Thanks!

Edit: Although I was envisioning that’s mostly people sharing links to recipe blogs unless it’s a recipe they’re typing out themselves on lemmy. When I was using “conventional”/proprietary/centralised/however you want to term it social media I followed some accounts that were basically “recipe aggregators” sharing links to various recipes they found and liked, and was hoping for something similar. That content doesn’t seem to be on !cooking@lemmy.world. But still a nice community, I’ve subscribed to see more cooking content.

In that case, wireguard. I only occasionally need to access a service that’s not exposed to the internet, so I use ssh -L, but that would be quite inconvenient for your own use case.

I know tailscale exists but I’ve never used it, only tried wireguard on its own. Maybe there’s some huge benefit to using it but wireguard worked fine for me.

Yeah but in the past few months ive consistently found Swedish Mullvad servers to work (occasionally blocked but if you refresh the page it’s unblocked) whereas the Swiss servers, which I used to use, have been fully blocked for quite a while. I’m sure it’ll change in due time but for now that’s what’s been working. And I have found this for all the Swedish servers I’ve tried and all the Swiss servers I’ve tried. Only tried Mullvad servers as that’s the VPN I use.

Problem with that is that the capacity of optical media is pretty small. I used to use optical media to back up my personal data but stopped pretty quickly as I was running out of space.

Ah right. I wonder if that’s the result of linguistic convergent evolution or however you’d term it, or if the common usage of “begs the question” arose from a misuse of the logical fallacy. I’ve not heard of the logical fallacy myself and only know it from the common colloquial usage, but English isn’t my first language so not sure how common the knowledge of the logical fallacy is among native speakers.

Can you explain what improper “begs the question” looks like…?

Deliberately not capitalising proper nouns as a show of disrespect (countries, people, titles, etc). Not “grammatically correct” but I think it falls under freedom of expression.

FreeTube has been working for me with Mullvad VPN set to Swedish servers. Also https://inv.nadeko.net/ if I need to share links with anyone.

You can also pick one that avoids the worst industries ie defence and oil. They will still invest in evil shit but they can still avoid the biggest no-nos.

It was obvious to me. Even without the context of being posed to linuxmemes it’s a silly-sounding story. Not sure why so many people in the comments seem to be taking this seriously—even if they couldn’t tell the original was a joke, it’s posted to a memes community.

Also, you can use a burner email and vpn if you want to add an extra layer of obfuscation in there for privacy.

It’s still all tied to one account. They could say, for instance, the same person searched for “beans”, “onions”, and “rice”, as opposed to not being tied to an account where those 3 searches could have come from 3 different people. Of course, a search engine like DDG is only promising to not track you to try figure out if those 3 searches came from the same person, but various anti-fingerprinting measures could make it infeasible for DDG to do that. For a paid search engine, you’d have to pay for a new account per search if you didn’t want it tied to any other searches, if you don’t trust that Kagi isn’t logging searches (which you shouldn’t, because you shouldn’t rely on trust for any threat model).

I really hope I don’t come off as a shill for them. It’s one of the few companies I actually really like.

Don’t worry, I get where you’re coming from and I most certainly think some people have a use-case for it.

Minecraft server will be Java so should be no problem. I ran a vanilla MC server on Ubuntu for years. Even if OP is running a modded server, all the mods will be Java too so I can’t see a problem.

Kagi’s an interesting one. The main reason why I don’t go with it is because you’d have to have an account, de-anonymising you. I know they have their “privacy pass” feature but that seems to essentially rely on trust that they aren’t tying your private searches to an account. And also $10/month for a search engine is just pretty steep for my budget.

I’m not looking at strangers’ phone screens close enough to figure out if they’re using GOS but I’ve noticed strangers using GOS a fair few times. Likely would a lot more if I were looking for it but I’m not trying to read everyone’s phone screens…

It’s a fairly common OS and it’s fairly widely acknowledged that GOS is a big driver for Pixel sales.

You cut off my sentence. Here’s the full quote.

Their original comment absolutely did not imply they thought that it was only MAGAheads who were ok with Israel killing USAmericans, on the same level that you implied they thought that.

Whether or not there was an implication at all is subjective. I don’t think that criticism of one party should be understood to be at the exclusion of another party, but whether or not that implication is there at all is up to you. I think making those sorts of inferences makes it very difficult to have any discussion about politics when criticising some group is meant as condoning another group; in that case any political statement would have to be very long to list all the groups it applies to.

But I didn’t say that it wasn’t implied at all; I said it wasn’t implied at the same level. Your reply to the original comment would make no sense if you didn’t believe that they only thought MAGA supporters were ok with Israel killing USAmericans. There’s far more ambiguity in the original comment, and I don’t believe it automatically lends itself to your interpretation (which was proven wrong by that commenter saying they don’t believe such a thing), but in any case it is absolutely not the same level of implication as your comment.

Lmao damn someone’s mad. Why reply to me 3 times? I’ve never said anyone said anything explicitly

I never said that I wasn’t “willing to accept implied statements”? Their original comment absolutely did not imply they thought that it was only MAGAheads who were ok with Israel killing USAmericans, on the same level that you implied they thought that. You’re like that tweet about “I like waffles” “So you hate pancakes?”. They didn’t say anything about Biden either way…
