Not to sound insensitive, wouldn’t keeping a checklist in a text file/note/etc, then copying it when you want to check it off completely fulfill your requirements?

Oh, I completely agree, it’s still going to be fairly cheap, especially if it idles a lot, I just wanted to point out that it’s not going to be free free.

I mean, you’re forgetting the additional power costs that you’ll have to pay for running your own hardware, plus maybe ISP fees if you want to upgrade for better upload speeds.

Speaking as GenZ (or Millennial, depends who you ask for the definition): fuuuuck that.

Speaking to the article specifically: I don’t trust a surveillance vendor to work honestly when surveying the acceptance of their surveillance tool. The article also fails to mention (if it does, it’s so brief I missed it) that the pressure some parents put on their kids to install and allow these kinds of spyware is immense. The kid having it on does not equate to the kid choosing to have it on.

Really depends on the game. I usually get a lot faster and more precise adjustments using KBM, so I prefer that for games like shooters and anything where precise 3d movement or fast reactions is an issue.

Basically the only games I play with controller are the ones that are really well optimised for controller and kind of meh for KBM and the ones on my Switch.

I think you’re reading too much into this. They are likely legally required to hand over a list of their employees to the US government. Like, if sou really don’t want them to do that, your only other option is quitting on the spot (or refusing and being let go, in case that makes a difference for things like unemployment benefits in your country).

Wtf is wrong with this person?

Considering that Gen Z is usually defined as being born between the mid-late 1990s and early 2010s, I wouldn’t support the first half of that statement. Everyone born in the first half of 2005 or earlier are 18, making them adults, so about half of Gen Z is adults.

Now whether this article uses that age range properly or whether it’s just someone using the term to mean “young people”, I have no idea.

But the premise of the article that just because someone uses technology all day makes them somehow invulnerable to scams (something that has absolutely nothing to do with how much someone uses tech) was ludicrous from the start.

Does she actually need Linux or is using a unixoid OS fine? A lot of the time installing homebrew (or whatever the package manager was called) on MacOS can suffice for several use cases.

Other than that, if you’re not needing apple exclusive software on it, installing Linux on the Macbook can be a good option.

If you definitely want virtualization, go with VirtualBox

Ah yes, because spammers clearly can’t afford 8 bucks a month

Generally speaking, you never want to use a low port (<1024) for anything other than the service assigned to it, because it causes all kinds of headache. Both on your side and on the other side. As for high ports, pick whichever one you prefer. They don’t have any binding to a given service, though there are some conventions.

The thing that shows people you’re running a VPN is not the port but the protocol header, so changing the port is pretty much useless if you want your ISP to not know you’re running a VPN for some reason.

I mean, CS:GO runs smoothly on Linux, and afaik so do Arma and Siege (not sure on the last one). They’re not open source, but yeah, they run.

Generally speaking, if you forgot you have the account while actively trying to think about it, you likely won’t miss it.

If you’re really worried about losing access to somewhere important, I would recommend migrating them one by one. Once you migrate one account to your new mail, move all the mails from that service to another folder. If you have e-mails from services you deem not important enough to migrate, just move them to another folder (or delete them).

Proceed until there are no more e-mails in your original inbox.

I agree, but the issue I see is that if we don’t de-federate them, they could aggregate and sell our data, which is something many people explicitly switched off of Meta services for.

That, and Meta has the infrastructure/paid developers to develop features/respond to issues much faster, which might cause more casual users to migrate over because they see things they desire.

Another worry I’ve seen around is that if the Meta instance is not blocked/defederated, it could aggregate all that data and sell it, which is something lots of people explicitly do not want.

Honestly, just running through the game with the same team (minor adjustments along the way), I didn’t notice any major roadblocks and one-shot most gym pokemon without any major levelling. I think the issue may be that you’re trying to make a full team of the same type, when one pokemon is completely sufficient.

Now I’m not saying your way is wrong, play the way you enjoy, but building a full team for one gym/camp seems overkill. And this game is slower to level than SwSh from my hazy memory of SwSh, so that may play into your experience.

I didn’t really grind XP except one time when I accidentally skipped a gym (levelwise) and faced a much tougher one than the game intended.

You’ll love what r/steam did. They were forced open and from what I hear users are now exclusively posting pictures of water vapor.
