Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

    Since your goal is “to move to a European registrar” Porkbun is not for you.

    https://hosting-checker.net/websites/porkbun.com “Webserver Amazon”

    Here are some additional options. https://european-alternatives.eu/category/domain-name-registrar

    I suggest you reach out to Infomaniak support and ask for an alternative method which is less invasive.

    https://www.infomaniak.com/en/help

    Try to make Infomaniak a better experience for everyone. Infomaniak claims to be “The Ethical Cloud” but they did not start business as a privacy company and have been learning over time. Help to teach them with one more customer story. Let us know what happens.

    If no luck with Infomaniak helping, you can try to contact a different registrar before signing up to confirm they will accept your domain type and ask them what the process will be. Hold them accountable to whatever process they describe if you choose them.

  • My only real experience of non Gmail sites over the last two decades have been terrible but mandatory work webmail systems that are slow, clunky and look a decade out of date.

    Uh same, Outlook Web's search function sucks so much compared to Gmail's 😫

    So basically just give me Gmail's UX without the corporation pls. Do any of the competitors have similar search, filtering and tagging behaviour?

  • Turned off the aggro on the patrolling demons in Murdered: Soul Suspect, because an otherwise peaceful detective adventure - where you play as a ghost investigating your own murder - really didn't need the random stressful action sequences 🤷‍♂️ (Sadly you can't turn off the floor traps, but at least those are stationary.)

  • Yeah, with Firefox + uBlock Origin I'm always surprised when I come across an ad. It's like getting a spam email in my Gmail inbox in 2025, a novelty :)

    Whatever ads slip through are still quite annoying though (especially autoplaying videos when I disabled it in the browser settings) - I either hide them with reading mode, or Stylus if it's a site I visit repeatedly, or if neither works I just go to another site 🤷‍♂️

    • Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be?

  • Sadly nothing for Adobe InDesign, which is like 2/3 of my workflow :( (Also I don't see an option to filter to Linux programs on that site.)

    I spent half hour searching on alternativeto.net just now, but for the 3 Adobe programs I use (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) all FLOSS Linux options seem to be lacking essential features. Based on comments, even in more popular alternatives, features like PDF exporting or CMYK colour handling require workarounds or additional external programs.

    (Re. searching only for FLOSS: I'm not opposed to paying for software, but when I enabled that option on alternativeto.net, a lot of results were subscription-based, which I do strongly oppose :/ )

  • Not the fault of Linux, but these are still the "problem" OP asked about regarding switching to Linux.

  • my main problems are the lack of support for Adobe programs and several online games

    Edit: I guess a more accurate phrasing would have been "lack of support from..."

  • Yup, Orbán lost an election in 2002, and he couldn't cope with it. So once he became PM again in 2010 (with a landslide majority of seats), he set to making sure he's never kicked out of power again. Now, 15 years later, Hungary has been mostly turned into an oligarchic dictatorship, the only steps he hasn't taken yet are disappearing people and overt application of violence :/

  • Are any of these a smooth transition coming from Adobe programs? I really don't want to re-learn my entire workflow in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.

    • Do you pre-order digital games? If so, why?

    Jump

  • I only pre-order Guild Wars 2 expansions, as it's my favourite game and I know that whatever I get, I'll feel that it was worth the money for the thousands of hours of fun I've got out of that game :)

    But I wouldn't preorder anything else - I have a massive Steam backlog, and a few years after release I can get the properly finished, patched version of games with all the expansions for a fraction of the price (+ all the mods and community resources that had time to develop and mature). Last year I got Witcher 3 for like 90% off lol. No need to rush, there are so many older games I haven't played yet...

    Btw I was a r/patientgamers member for years, I see that they also have a community on Lemmy :) https://sh.itjust.works/c/patientgamers

  • need a Chromium browser for technical reasons

    With a similar use case, after messing around with Brave, then Ungoogled Chromium for a few years, I just reinstalled Google Chrome last month. I literally only need it for making sure webdesign stuff I do works okay in Chrome, and for the extremely rare websites I come across that refuses to work in Firefox 🤷 I didn't change any settings or install even an adblocker, to make sure I'm testing as close to the "vanilla" experience as possible. I also don't log into any accounts with it, so I don't really care if Google sees what I do for that 2-3 page visits / month.

    • This is not a good look for brave.

    Jump

  • I think anyone who is already using Firefox knows very well why they wouldn't want to use Brave 🤷 (My main reasons were being a Chromium browser and having unwanted crypto features included.)

    Edit: Oh yes, and the CEO's homophobia is not helping either...

  • The less its posts are shared, the less its relevance is to the world. I can't see that as a bad thing. It always baffled me how outsize Twitter's influence was on world events/news while having 1/5th the active userbase of Facebook.
