  • Oh wow… they have The Saboteur for $5. I didn’t know it was available on the PC. I loved that game, warts and all. IIRC it was the first game I ever worked to get 100% achievements on.

  • I would recommend, at a minimum, two things:

    1. NextDNS
    2. AdGuard for iOS

    Once you have those set up and working, if you're feeling adventurous, try:

    1. StopTheMadness for iOS (costs $10)

    Just NextDNS will block a lot of stuff, as long as you're not on a VPN (Using a VPN will switch to the VPN's DNS servers). AdGuard takes a little more work to set up, since you have to enable content blockers, but it's not too hard as long as you carefully read and follow the instructions in the app. The 3rd thing is a lot more involved, but it adds a last little bit of protection in the browser.

    Edit: somebody suggested pi-hole, which is fine, but it's redundant with NextDNS and pi-hole would only work while you were on your home wifi.

  • I highly recommend switching to a 3rd party app for passwords, payment info, etc. I know Bitwarden is a trusted app with a free tier that can import from chrome.

    It’s more secure than chrome or Firefox “vaults” and it’s backed up online and synced between devices automatically. It also doesn’t tie you to one browser. There are apps for iOS, android, windows, macOS, and Linux plus plugins for all major browsers.

  • Sit in recliner playing civ6 and rewatching Chuck/Frasier/Monk/Psych

  • They’re building their own drones, and they’re pretty good. They just need money for parts at this point.

  • So.... if I agree with your opinion, am I supposed to downvote? I'm confused. Also, if I agree with the thesis but disagree with almost every supporting statement, do I upvote after I downvoted, leaving no vote? I'm too old for this internet stuff.

    To sum up:

    • I like Arby's in general
    • Their cheese sauce is awful
    • Curly fries in general are awful and Arby's curly fries are worse
    • I loved the potato cakes but they stopped selling them
  • Modern, capitalist, purely profit-driven news is all about cheap and lazy reportage. That’s why you get “name check” bullshit like this instead of actual journalism.

    It’s also why there are very few news photographers now… “just snap some pics with your phone.”

    Not that I’m bitter or anything

  • It sounds like you're experiencing anhedonia, which is strongly associated with depression. Ultimately life is cyclical, day to day, week to week, etc, but there should be frequent periods of happiness sprinkled in there, where you spend time doing things you like with people you like. If you can't find anything like that, maybe talk to a therapist.

  • toes the line

    As in, they step up to the line in the sand and put their toes near it. They don’t cross the line.

    Sorry, I know it’s pedantic, but I failed my save to resist pedantry.

  • That's the envelope I'm talking about.

  • That’s very weird. I’m on the same version of memmy and iOS as you, but using an iPhone 12 mini. The envelope is in the “title” area, to the right of the word “inbox.” It’s always there on my phone.

  • If you tap on the little envelope icon at the top right it will mark all read.

  • It’s quite uncommon to have line splits for specific features. The only thing in a Tesla that might require a split is dual vs single motor. Heated seats would just be a station skip, where the worker or robot ignores cars without the feature. (Source: I used to write assembly line control software for this exact sort of thing)

    It doesn’t save Tesla any money, except in marshaling. If they build a mix of lots of options then they have to track them all. With their simplified option list, cars are more interchangeable.

    It also makes upselling possible, even after delivery, which is 98% of why they do it.

  • I have the AdGuard content blocker on my phone and NextDNS set for dns. I’m using a logged in NextDNS account with a bunch of block lists enabled.

    I was using pihole on my local network but some ads still got through, mainly on the NYTimes site.

  • That's funny... it looks just like your "I fkn knew it" face.

  • AdGuard on the iphone and nextdns.io for DNS is a very effective combo. I also use StopTheMadness to eliminate a lot of annoyances, especially google's shitty amp links.

  • I had sort of the reverse situation. For years I was 100% linux only for work but "stuck" in windows because I likes gamez. Round about the time the steamdeck came out, I swapped to linux/popos full time and it was like coming home from a bad business trip.

  • They have nothing on you. It's a phishing email. Ignore it and move on with your life.

  • I'm not sure if your goal is to set up nextcloud or to learn docker compose while setting up nextcloud. If you just want it up and running, you could use DockSTARTer to get it going. Heck, even if your goal is mainly learning, you can always tear apart the compose file that dockstarter generates and compare it to your own.
