I’ll have to check it out! Same here, mostly services on my end - but I’ve accumulated enough of them to make it tiresome. Still, I’ll have to do it at some point

I DO have an ad blocker. I still ended up seeing an ad, that one time. It might’ve been on mobile. Or I might have had my ad block turned off. Either way, I’ve gone out of my way to make sure I never see an ad in my email again. Used mobile devtools to uninstall the Gmail client, Firefox with uBlock add-on, etc…

Yes… They don’t seem to show up in the primary tab, but they’re there nonetheless. Nowhere is safe, and nothing is sacred.

I got pissed off at Google Photos, which led me down a self-hosting rabbit hole. Ended up installing Linux everywhere, even my “gaming” one eventually (I do development, and WSL was a resource hog).

The hardest thing to degoogle has been email - I’ve used the same address for years. But I use Thunderbird so at least I don’t have to see ads in my fucking inbox

I was playing Laika for a bit. The difficulty is pretty brutal - one of the harder games I’ve played in awhile. Like, you can randomly die from basic movement mechanics if you’re not paying attention. I wasn’t having fun anymore, so I had to drop it.

Moved on to Going Under, and that’s a lot more my speed

I wanna get back into MHW, but those unskippable cutscenes at the beginning are a PITA

Will do sir

Omg same, but it’s been a rough year so this is my Christmas gift to myself I guess. Also glad to hear it’s helping you :)

I just got one so reading this makes me hopeful. Fallen out of love with gaming a bit in recent years

Maybe unpopular opinion, but… if you’re not interested in learning DSA with any form of rigidity, you don’t have to learn those right out the gate. Just get your feet through the door. Build a small project, automate something - you will learn about your chosen language’s data structures by default. If there comes a point in time where you’re expected to know about DSA, you’ll probably have found the reasons/motivation by then

I hardly ever see people talking about Pocketbase in threads like these, but as a dev I love it

Dark patterns, gotta love em

Master copy on my desktop

At midnight, my cron job kicks in and mirrors it to

• hard drive
• makes a backup to another machine via restic
• makes another restic backup to backblaze

Kill that interview king 👑

Or should, for that matter

These posts are getting really old and tired. I’m here to learn more about Linux, not hear the same recycled view on hOW BAd windows is
