I'm not the one asked, but since i am owner of an old ass myself i'll chip in. My solution would be to reduce the desktop resolution if desktop readability is the problem. 4k is probably not the resolution you are gaming at? even if you do, you can just select a lower desktop resolution and crank it up when gaming (if the game supports scaling). other than that i can only recommend using magnification tools for the desktop and i don't think there are any solutions for games that don't bring their own scaling.

for my part, i use steams big picture mode as uion the tv, which works on any resolution.

I'm austrian, and i have seen better nazi salutes by drunk edgy teenagers in the 90s. Are you americans in here sure he actually knows how a nazi salute should look like or do all of the Y'all Quaeda first grip their steroid induced mantits before they half-dab?

Yes, he now goes by the name "the rapist Allen Turner", which is to deceive others from his past as "Brock Allen Turner", who is a rapist.

Upgrading my Nobara from 40 to 41 stopped my nvidia driver crashes in wayland for now, i hope it's not just a fluke :-)

No, they are the morals of all people who try to take away freedoms from others, for example parents who prefer an open discussion with their children, or people who might risk a lot by their preferences becoming public in a data leak - like the whole of the LGBT-spectrum in the USA, Russia, large areas of Africa and the UK too (since gender-affirming care is getting wrecked there too) for example. Even if it weren't that parts of the public were endangered, the underlying tools and mechanisms are easily abused as censoring mechansisms - slap a "that's against our morals"-sticker on it and let it disappear.

All my traffic is running over a VPN, because i don't like getting tracked. But regulations like this go beyond what affects me (it really doesn't - i couldn't tell you when i last watched porn if i wanted to). A prime example would be reproductive health; sites that explain a teenager stuff that he wouldn't ask his parents or a teacher might easily be labels as pornographic by puritans (the parents you wish that spoke up more might not, but i can guarantee you that those types will speak up first and loudest when they get the chance). You are also taking away that from every teenager in the country, especially those less privileged and with zealots as parents.

Even worse: The clearweb porn sites today are pretty sanitized, so there won't be anything really illegal on it. If they get their fingers on the stuff on the dark web by installing TOR, then they might be exposed to far more dangerous, illegal and traumatizing content and real life dangers than the average porn clip.

The barrier for entry can also be set by parents, if they are worth a fuck. put parental locks on their devices, thats the only thing you can realistically control anyways. No need for messy databases which will leak, no need for creating a precedent for censoring the web. Limiting advertising for whatever is easy in comparison and the mechanisms are already in place (and active - i don't think that hardcore porn gets many ad slots at prime time tv).

Stealing and hurting infringes on the freedom of others, watching porn doesn't. My ID isn't required for buying alcohol because i don't get confused with a 16 year old anymore.(you can add 3-4 decades on that) You still get asked even being a parent of a child? Must be quite the genes you have there.

Sorry for assuming your parenting habits. You spoke like one of those zealots i spoke above. If you aren't one and you simply didn't realize the dangers of legislation like this when enacted, i hope that you i gave you food for thought.

was gonna say, no such guide can be considered complete without fmhy; i wouldn't send them to repackers, since every pirate desires different types of treasure (even for games it depends on the system, someone might look for the games he played on the psx in his youth)

Your personal morals should not be the basis of laws that invade the privacy of every last person in the country, including your sons. Don't you think that educating your son on sex, porn and reasonable usage (depending on age) would be an approach that would foster an atmosphere of trust and responsibility in the relationship between you and your child, making a law unnecessary? The way you seem to handle it just a) makes most kids curios and b) will make kids just hide their behaviour (and they will be seeing stuff, since most kids gain access in one way or another, and they share proudly for clout). Don't forget that the best liars come from very strict homes.

Thats actually pretty helpful, thanks!

Removing / migitating sources of stress and anxiety. I was known at work for my regular expression of anger, and if it wasn't that it was sarcasm. Had a 3 month rehab after crashing really hard, and the "observers view" of my life at home made me see what had to change. Similar progress could be made with a good therapist, will take more time tho.

and keyboard commands can easily be mapped on either back buttons or onto a virtual menu on the other trackpad - with mode shifts you can define a huge amount of keys which are easily accessible

I have switched from google to a SearXNG instance and i am more than satisfied. For german stuff i use another instance which gives me more local results. I am thinking about hosting my own instance in the future.

the first corporate war probably

well lets see if the EU goes along with that change or if they even dare to roll it out here - twitter is already in hot water regarding the lack of moderation and rampant disinformation, adopting that trash model will not help at all.

and even if its the companys fault - in principle never, but just to be sure - you have to go through forced arbitration

To underline this statement: Microsoft Bing is trying to spoof Google UI when people search Google.com.
Most tech literates do not understand the workflows of ppl who have no clue. Having done a shitton of 1st Level Tech Support for an ISP in my youth has given me the mostly useless ability to know how the clueless use their computer.

I wish i could forget most of that bullshit tho, it brought me far too young to the conclusion that humanity is a long way from becoming immune to snake oil vendors, scam artists and con men because most people don't have a fucking clue what they are doing.

I agree with everything except the following bit of wrong info: protonvpn does allow port forwarding on their paid plans. source: i am using it, and https://protonvpn.com/support/port-forwarding

if the small text isn't an UI thing where you have to be able to read it while doing something else in-game (like reading lore or item stats), the steam deck has a button chord for a magnifying feature (Hold Steam button + L1 for default, but can be mapped as a toggle to one of the back buttons or wherever you like) which is enough for a lot of titles.
