Cool, I've been wanting to play the new god of war but passed on it because of this bullshit. Time to put it back on my wishlist and ... wait some more for a sale, which is never much of a discount with Sony

I never pay full price for a game.

Isthereanydeal.com

Humblebundle.com

Gog.com

Always running sales. If they aren't just check history or set an alert on isthereanydeal and wait a bit.

Pratchett is one of the only authors who makes me laugh out loud consistently. Fantastic stuff.

When he reaches the land of the dead only give him a walking stick with a compass in the handle. A broken compass.

That's actually what I went with too. I considered Mint and Pop!OS but really my PC is a gaming machine with a nvidia card. A friend recommended bazzite and its exactly what I was looking for.

I just installed Linux and holy shit it is so much easier and more straight forward than a windows install. Really wish I would have done it sooner.

Somehow this is less surprising than him being married in the first place.

Zuck is married?!

Ooo leaded marijuana

My hands are tired just looking at it

I don't speak polish though so that makes it difficult and scary.

Thank you, I did find myself thinking theres a reason why I have the DP cables for my PC monitors which don't seem to have an issue running high resolutions... But then I'm not running 8k on anything so I wasn't really sure about that

There is no locking yourself out of anything in this game. Everything is a very intentional design. Look closer, try everything.

Edit: Explore when you get stuck. Sometimes the way forward isn't obvious.

Absolutely. Always be open to changing jobs if you need to, and always keep that option as a back up plan even if things are going well. Know that if you find a new job it may fix some things while introducing new problems, there is always some risk to doing so. If you aren't in a rush to get out try to line something up that makes the change worthwhile - get a promotion out of it, or at least some pay raise or other benefit. Often times annual raises suck enough that many people need to get a new job to find a decent pay bump anyway, so it's good to be looking for that. If you haven't interviewed in awhile line a few up as practice too, so when you find something you're more serious about it will go smoothly.

No prob, this stuff is difficult to keep up with. I'm still always learning and hoping I'm doing it right

I'm not a security expert so my ability to explain is limited, but no, emails have long used encryption protocols like SSL to prevent such problems. However, your email provider may scan and read your emails. That's not much different than a text message service reading those messages, but you can choose your provider. From what I can tell proton.me is the way to go for resolving that issue - they provide encryption which prevents their own machines and employees from being able to read your messages and other data. Otherwise, your email is basically as secure as your passwords are.

So, it's not that the message itself is insecure, but the inability to verify the sender makes phishing attacks possible or similar things. I get a text from a random number saying "click this link to pay your bill!" And I don't have any way to trust its legit.

SIM swaps make it so people can take over your phone number temporarily and then generate 2fa requests to gain access to accounts. Doing the swap usually involves bribing someone or gaining access to a providers database by other means, but its been done a lot.

There are ways to prevent this, but the most straight forward is using a MFA app. Barring that 2FA via email is the next best thing.

I still don't trust them, especially when they announced they were scanning images. I don't really care their reasons for it, that's intrusive. I can't trust any closed source tech, no matter what they say.

I have some crypto, some stocks, etc. For many things I still need standard banking though. Crypto just isn't there yet. Maybe someday... But having money distributed is still smart either way, so I have many baskets for my eggs.
