You don't have to set up your own VPN. Many public providers work.

It's crazy that this is an opinion that people really have. I don't like authoritarian states and I have a lot of issues with the CCP, but this isn't true at all. Loads of native Chinese living in China uses a VPN. They don't care about it.

They have. I don't know what people are talking about in this post. It's bypassable easily, and the CCP won't kill you for it. There are so many Chinese using aVPN themselves to bypass GFW

And with it, less reading on Lemmy, more reading real books :)

Learning a new language, and with it, a new way to see the world, is a true life hack.

The future sucks.

Love my Boox Page

From my limited experience with Obsidian, I still preferred Logseq actually. And the syncing is easily done by just storing the markdown files in a cloud folder. But yeah, it's subjective for sure.

I'd say Logseq is better than any note-taking alternative that works in the same way. It's a bit different to regular note-taking apps as it acts more as a knowledge database based on tags, than with a regular file-folder structure. Also I prefer Actual Budget to YNAB, as it's starting to have even more features than YNAB and actually supports things like bank syncing for major parts of Europe that even YNAB doesn't. And it's free to host yourself or really cheap to host through PikaPods. But it's hard to say "objectively" because in the end, a lot of it is subjective. If people are used to running one program, it'll be hard to switch to another, even if it's "objectively" better.

The largest issue with FOSS applications is that many contributors don't have any UX/UI knowledge, which is a huge factor in why people choose one program over another. I'd argue GIMP is a mess compared to Photoshop, even if GIMP is able to do many, many things that Photoshop is able to.

Thanks for the review. I'm leaning towards buying one during summer if I have some cash left!

Thanks! I hear a lot of people complaining about the ergonomics. So it isn't uncomfortable to use for lengths of time? Apparently they haven't released their own official grip yet either, so I might wait until they do.

The Retroid Pocket looks awesome. I've been eyeing a Steam Deck, but tbh I'd have my fun cut out for me with just a retro handheld that can emulate stuff up til Gamecube. Do you like it?

Yes, DRM discussions doesn't need to be piracy-related nor illegal. But it was primarily for me to collect my topics surrounding DRM, but evidently many others were interested in it too

I run 2x 1440p monitors at 165hz and 144hz fine

Sorry, no idea. I just shared the guide

Great list. I'll add them to my list here later on https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40761919

Awesome. I added some of these to my list on !drm@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Crazy that there's an instance about Ascendance of a Bookworm. I've just been reading this!

Maybe BakaBT? Not as hard to get into as AB.

Thank you for this. I posted another guide to my new community !drm@lemmy.dbzer0.com, but I'll post yours too on there.
