If you’re very bothered by the ads, instead of an adblocker you can try out an Ad-blocking DNS. Personally, I use noads.libredns.gr
This will allow them to see all your data though, so I recommend using this method with a reputable VPN.

Thank you so much for the detailed answer 🙏
Squad is definitely one of them! Also the Battlefield Collection is on 89% sale (only includes the ones since 2011 tho)
Basic, but Ubuntu. It’s got snaps which are slow and generally suck, plus Canonical
Between the recent breach and the clear sentiment behind their staff, I really don’t know why anyone chooses CircleCI over GitHub / GitLab Actions.
Is kbin.social still going to federate?
I just want to say I completely agree with you. If we want to withstand the companies at the helm of the Internet right now, we have to make it impossible for them to extinguish us. I think that’s what we’ve essentially done with ActivityPub, and frankly I don’t see any way they can try to take us down by normal means.
I mean, what are they gonna do? Pull the VERY loyal people from kbin.social or Lemmy.world into Threads? Or the people from Mastodon?
It’s safe to say the people who have been here 5 months (or even more!) are not really keen on using Facebook 2.0, and we aren’t really the demographic they’re targeting. We also aren’t exactly the biggest demographic, with the Fediverse being a couple million people afaik.
I think if anything we have the most to GAIN from federation. People will know about our little public ad-free corner of the Internet. It’s downright silly to throw up pitchforks just because “Meta bad” because - at the end of the day - HOW will they destroy the Fediverse?
Interesting, thank you for sharing. I’ll have to give it a go next time!
For anything lower-spec (like, <4Gb of RAM), Ubuntu absolutely CHUGS because of Snaps. Flatpak has no such issue.
Ironically, Lubuntu (a lightweight Ubuntu fork) worked the best for me while I was using it. No slowness, but I installed pretty much everything using Apt (didn’t know about Flatpak back then).
I ended up having it lock up and freeze on the sign-in page though, so I moved on to the slightly heavier Linux Mint.
I think this is the perfect post to bring up XWayland.
That being said, I haven’t used it yet (so I can’t comment on whether it works flawlessly)! Can anyone elaborate on their experiences with it? I’m curious on it and don’t have my hands on a Linux machine at the moment
I also had no idea he made RSS
Doomed by I Prevail
People definitely still play Planetside 2
I can also back that up! KDE feels way faster than Gnome (and especially Cinnamon) on older computers
If you’ve never drank coffee, you should be using Windows lol
As a long-time Tenchu fan, I feel this was about Sekiro to be honest. It started life as Tenchu 5, then got turned mid-development into Sekiro. I just wish it had a bigger emphasis on stealth, rather than just swordfighting…
Your mileage may definitely vary haha, I use that feature a lot (I’m lucky / unlucky enough to work with a lot of new technologies)
I also use Nord. I think it’s fine, but self-hosted and open would be better (since you for SURE know what data is passing through and what is happening with it). With Nord it’s like a “trust me bro” black box.
That said, I trust Nord enough for my needs. I don’t do anything too secretive on the VPN and frankly I think the 80/20 is in favor of just using Nord over self-hosting (I don’t really have time for that).
Only reason I don’t use Ecosia is because you can’t search for “Within the past year”. Which is really necessary when you’re a programmer
I believe Batocera itself covers all the consoles you mentioned.
It’s also got a pretty nice little UI (very customizable) and it has a really nifty feature where you can pair Bluetooth remotes super easy (basically just put the controller into pairing mode and click “pair Bluetooth controller” and it’ll instantly pair).
It also runs like absolute lightning - I’m running my Batocera on a 2012 MacBook Pro and it still runs everything up to PS1 decent frames (which is an achievement for this laptop lol).
To top it off, adding the games is super easy. I just used a flash drive and put the ROMs into their respective folders in the file explorer and it just added the console’s icon to the home screen.
