So it listens to you and you can “permit it” to read emails and all that shit? I didn’t even know this kind of thing existed let alone that anyone would CHOOSE to allow this. Crazy.

Oh it’s not all I want to do. I’m also a hobbyist dev and work on GIS projects, etc etc.

Eating more beans and lentils has saved me a butt load of money. Tofu too but price of soybeans might be going up soon so who knows how long that’ll last.

Yeah, I don’t expect to play a lot of things but 99% of the time I’m playing some 2D indie game. Everyone once in a blue moon I like to replay the TES series

Yeah, started using it last night and I think it’s gonna stick. No complaints so far

Same. I’m about done with all things big tech. As much as is possible at least. Orion it is! I also saw Vivaldi but I’m not super interested in all the other services that come along with it.

Anyone have any good iOS alternatives? I’m eyeing Orion currently

Zen has been really nice for the few days I’ve been using it. It feels real sleek and just more modern over all.

My computer is a bit old though and I wonder if there is something similar that is even lighter on resources. Zen is still pretty dang light though.

Dude, same. It’s been about ten years since my wife and I stopped buying from amazon. Never have I had a problem finding the things I need on eBay or Craigslist or straight from the seller.

Just order some new headphones directly from Lenovo that were the exact price as on amazon and even had free two day shipping and don’t require me to have an account. Great, no issues.

For other things, people for the love of god please buy used and local as much as you can. I live in a smaller town and can find soooooo much shit locally. Not everything but I’d say most everyday things!

I really don’t get it either, how much shit do people need!?

I didn’t realize Gitea had any issues, I didn’t do my due diligence and look into them much after switching from GitHub.

I’ll check out forgejo thanks!

Just want to shout out my fav note app QOwnNotes for folks like me just needing a super simple but also super customizable notes app. Only downside is no mobile but I get around that with a git repo.

Any opinions on gitea? Idk I’ve been using it for about a year and it works nicely

Geany is a stupidly underrated piece of software imo. I use it for pretty much everything other than my largest of projects. Even then I consider it lol

Is Zen still a safe bet? I’m using it currently and quite like it actually so I’m hoping it’s still a good option. I just frankly am pretty ignorant of all this browser shenanigans.

Been using zen for a few days with ublock, no issues so far but I might go back to librewolf soon even though it feels less modern. It just feels safer, idk tbh

Asking genuinely as someone who knows not much about this subject, is typescript not already an option? Isn’t it just type safe js that gets interpreted as js?

For common things like monitors keyboards and mice, I go to the thrift stores around me. I typically find some decent stuff. Sounds silly but I live in a decent city for tech jobs so, lots of second hand things like that around here.
