meanwhile apex legends just stopped supporting Linux :|

me and my friends returned to cod after 9 years with this game. we tried MW3 but lost faith as it was a crashing, janky piece of rubbish. but this one man, there is something special again for the first time in so long…

usually Hawaiian sweetbread

I put ketchup on bread and microwave it

I just don’t use torrents anymore, I use xdcc. I used to torrent, but there is so much ransomware, ISP threats, malware, ect. I still use torrents for official things like Linux Isos or Gimp though. Gen z here

yep, I woke up at 7pm last night, was pitch black. didn’t fall asleep for the night until 3am :/

more like 5th circus

I used Linux for a long time, like years, as my main os since I was a teenager. (I broadly say Linux because I hopped distro a lot). but ultimately, I hardly even used it by the end because during my creative bursts, I would be using windows exclusive software that was just better than any Foss. then, I would want to play some multiplayer games with my friends, where the anti cheat only worked on windows. this totaled to like 75 percent of my time being used on windows in the end, so I just sucked up to the reality of the situation and hardened windows for privacy and debloating and switched back after so long. if it weren’t for those 2 specific things, I would have probably kept mint as a daily driver forever, it was really stable and nothing else was an issue for me. but the fact is that I (and presumably many other people) don’t want to give up things we enjoy and spend more time bleak and bored just to prove a point to some company that doesn’t know we exist. I’m sure for a lot of people though, daily driving Linux would be fine for things like YouTube or online shopping or whatevsies.

I just never did it, why even replace it. just remove it entirely.

back in 2023 I had this instance blocked until a nice bear had replied to me on some thread earlier this year. I don’t remember what it was, but I remember in the moment looking through their posts and deciding to unblock hexbear to look around, and over time you all really taught me a lot. not just about American politics, but about a lot of things in the world. everyone here has always been nice to me too. I spend more time on here now than a lot of other places. you all on the bear have helped me start seeing things for what they really are elsewhere too.

lemmyworld in many ways is still just reddit. don’t get me wrong, I’ve talked to plenty of cool people on there before. but it is the biggest instance that ballooned after the API controversy and a lot of them seem to have just brought Reddit to the fediverse with them. I have no issues with any mods there, I’ve not really seen them at all. they did defed a community from my instance though so that’s pretty lame of them.

I’ve tried many but waterfox has been my home since earlier this year. it comes configured out of the box with about the privacy settings I’d normally use, as well as my preferred userchrome built in.

this is unfathomably based

somewhat related, but my roomie showed me the drive thru at the local in n out (I’m from out of state and just never bothered to go there all these years). it was all the way down the street for almost a mile. I couldn’t possibly fathom why. I’ve had only vegetarian offerings from there, but from what I had it wasn’t special. The fries weren’t even great, I don’t think I’d ever even go back. So when I saw that extremely long line, I was flabbergasted. my city is currently constructing a canes too… can’t wait to see how bad that one gets.

it’s all so tiresome.

Another day, another disappointment from Reddit. I deleted my account the day you made your instance and thankfully things over here picked up pretty fast. I haven’t felt a need to go back.

Kicked me out after high school. I ended up homeless for months. That was years ago, but the psychological damage never goes away. To this day I don’t spend money on furniture because I’m too scared I’ll lose everything again somehow. Even my computers have to be laptops forever now because I feel like if I get a desktop I’ll be fucked into losing it if I end up homeless again.

I’ve been keeping the Pokémon creepy black ROM hack inside my delta emulator for the same reason. It’s interesting to me when people make real ROM hacks out of urban legends and creepypastas.

I’ve been playing Pokémon leaf green. Me and my friend initially started opposite versions together, but he got bored fast because he tried to marathon it and got burnt out. I’ve been playing a little bit each day. Right now I’m in the Pokémon tower about to go to celadon city and get a thunderstone to evolve my Pikachu and Eevee.

I see sailor moon, therefore I have to comment out of respect.
