Good thing I don’t care about Fortnite and never ever buy games on Epic!

Cool, thank you!

Yeah, we’ve got some T-decks and so far it’s only been a novelty and the intended purpose is just so we can text from a decent distance if infrastructure goes down. Will probably also see some occasional use camping as a backup for our radios with a T-beam attached to a bear bag up in a tree as a relay.

I’ve already got some gear and there are a few other nodes around, but basically all it is currently is an emergency backup for texting family members if the Internet and cell service go down. I’d like to start making some cooler stuff like maybe a weather/sensor station and maybe even some online stuff, but I’ve got so many half-done projects I’m hesitant to start another one lol.

A lot of things, but at least it got rid of insurance companies denying people over pre-existing conditions.

long-winded sigh

I really ought to set up that community meshnet I keep thinking about setting up…

That’s the neat part: It doesn’t!

You have no absolutely fucking clue what you’re talking about.

Seems generous, might be more like 5% reality.

Pour one out for a real OG

Steam Deck is great, 10/10, would recommend, but you could also just load Linux on your old system and keep using it.

Again?

AdBlocking is 100% OK, that part is correct for sure. Ad networks (including Google’s) routinely serve up scams and malware: It is foolish not to use a browser with a fully functional ad blocker at this point (i.e. avoid Chrome, use Firefox with uBlock origin).

As for whether Google approves: Fuck Google! They have been serving up malware and scams in their ads. Their opinion should be irrelevant if you have any interest in protecting yourself, they have repeatedly proven they cannot and should not be trusted.

I tried but Nintendo issued a DMCA takedown

Mint is great for beginners IMO

Protip: Install Linux because FUCK MICROSOFT!

Never tried Raccoon but I’ve been fond of Connect.

Well that’s dystopian as fuck, ads are a legitimate security threat with the amount of malware, scams, and other shady stuff advertisements online frequent contain.

Edit: Not even a day later there’s a report about Google ads straight up serving malware because of fucking course that happened…

Yup Gaben called it, just look at Steam.
