Friend of DeSoto

Agreed. I’m just glad no one is filming me when I’m working on things. It’s not that I can’t figure things out but it takes some trial and error.

I watch the channel with that in mind, he’s me in a sense … Trying to reforest 300 something acres. He seems like a smart guy though and making progress. It’s all cumulative work so it’ll pick up I’m sure after a year of growth.

I’ve been watching DustUps ranch on YouTube. Some guy bought wasteland in Texas and is doing this and other stuff to create a forest.

Definitely not an instructional channel because there is a lot that goes wrong so far but he learns as he goes and seems to have a good plan now.

I use simplelogin but mostly I still use an email that provides aliases. I break things up into five or six main groups. Content like games and streaming, shopping, social media, and a few others. This works as a general grouping for bookmarks, passwords, note taking, and emails.

I felt using a simplelogin alias for every site was out of control. For me personally I just need it a bit simpler.

Mildly related by the topic. I’m playing ghost recon breakpoint and a bunch of the main characters are hiding in a huge cave. My character said something like “do you have a computer?” And the NPC replied, “I live in a cave, I’m not a cave man” .

I hate it too, I need it and hate it. But it is the standard and honestly if we all switched to whatever else, we would hate that too. The mechanism isn’t the problem, imo, it’s the requirement of maintenance and monitoring.

Depending on how serious you want to take it. There is a website for stardew predictions, stardew checkup to help you know what’s missing, and a tool for planting to know when to harvest.

Lots of tools to plan.

I also keep a notepad open but I make notes. Important birthdays, which rarecrows I have, crop numbers and things needed, fish in looking for in particular seasons and weather.

I set my goals and work towards them.

Ha! That works, you just don’t get as much money from them because it’s late In the season.

I love playing stardew.

I have 800 hours in the game, played through many times with perfection.

Save at least 2 of everything. Save 5 of gold star veggies and fruits along with some unstarred.

Make field snacks and pop them like Skittles. Plan your day a bit, time is ticking.

Fishing skill first IMO, blast that as much as you can and sell as much as you can.

There is so much to do, as you find things and progress there will be more and more things.

Buy strawberries in year 1 at the egg festival. As many as you can. Year two, plant them as beginning of spring. Profit.

Also have fun, don’t let the days or time stress you out.

This, you will need them for gifts and quests and the money you don’t make by selling it will be earned doubly by having one ready to go when it’s called upon.

Chests are cheap, get a system. I use veggies, fruit, flowers, forage, seeds, tools, metals, gems as probably my first set as I get going.

Money is not the problem in this game, time is what gets you.

It says nothing about spyware, the article isn’t hyped up at all, and describes a token to track installations vs downloads.

"This data will allow us to correlate telemetry IDs with download tokens and Google Analytics IDs. This will allow us to track which installs result from which downloads to determine the answers to questions like, “Why do we see so many installs per day, but not that many downloads per day?”

Also there is an opt-out during installation.

I don’t even use Firefox, and I honestly am not attacking but your comment seemed very hyperbolic and with little detail.

You’re right that it’s good to be aware of this stuff, I also don’t see this being a road block for the average user.
