Idk man I think there’s reasons why personalities like Andrew Tate get attention. There’s young men that relate to him.
Not saying I agree but just pointing out people should be mindful that there’s probably an equal and opposite force for every blue voting area or trend in the US.
I feel like I’ve explored very deep edges of sound alternatives. I’ve tried replacing my phone with consumer friendly alternatives and they just weren’t as good unless you can get a fair phone in the US which is hit or miss. The Internet itself lending itself to subscription based models is because servers and data storage costs money.
I hate to say it, but even if you remove power through solar investments and using lightweight servers you still have ISP to pay. Everyone’s got bills and overhead, because nothing is free.
My advice is to ground your logic in that everything requires resources to run and rejoice in community wins like Lemmy or mastodon or Graphene OS. It’s not all bad. Find the good in the bad and move towards what works for you personally. I’ve been off of windows for like a year now and I think that alone is impressive despite Xbox for example costing an arm and a leg.
I’ve been playing a lot of rainbow six siege quick play and call of duty MW2’s DMZ game modes. I feel like one gives me the tactical fair shooter, and the other gives me a meaningfully paced combat loop.
Im a little pissed that the battle pass for diablo 4 doesn’t work with my regular character. I just feel so estranged from that game since it costed so much and the combat and tasks just felt so dry. I guess the upside is that I have 90 days of the pass to hack away at it which isn’t terribly pressing. I just wish their monetization strategy was like Halo Infinites battle passes where you could choose which one to progress on.
Hi! web dev here. It’s time to change your setup ever so slightly with VSCodium, and electerm too optionally: https://vscodium.com/ https://github.com/electerm/electerm
I usually install all my setups in PopOS or a server I’m developing on: https://github.com/gnubyte/debian-setup/blob/master/setup.sh
Then install Insomnia.rest, VSCodium, and finally electerm.
Basically I’ll program in nodeJS, BunJS, or python.
Then I’ll ask chatGPT via Rubberduck (link below) to generate a docker and docker compose live mount for my dependencies of my frontend and backends. Then I begin to iterate over my work.

My latest flow is basically to start with chatGPT, write a four paragraph description of what I want, have it save me about five hours of boiler plate nonsense, and then disconnect from chatGPT to do the advance stuff like handle security, data structure relationships, etc. Sometimes I go back to chatGPT for how an algorithm should be implemented for efficiency inside a short snippet, then apply it again to my code. There was some great bloom filter work it was able to help me with.
Other stuff I’ve been trying is like podman and I’m interested lately in Jenkins to do builds since I realized I have too many projects that build and work a particular way, I can’t Shepard them all by hand. With that will likely come unit testing, both hopefully assisted by AI to cut down on time. I’d like to reinvest that time on hankerrank and frontend masters to start transitioning to something like rust.
Hey how are you liking Opensuse? I’ve always observed that OS from a far but never had a good opportunity to sit down and tinker with it.
I’ve been in the Debian or mint/pop os camp squarely for awhile now so the cost of time to learn it is somewhat high since all my stuff just works.
You mentioned lack of packages, I feel like I have an abundance in my ecosystem. The store on pop os has so much stuff.
Maybe this is worth looking at? https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/linux-install/
I have a lineage phone I keep on dial and I was using graphene OS for a minute but
The thing is that I live by my phone. Passwords, banking, pretty much the entirety of my actual life daily. I think graphene OS is great! But I also don’t have time or a the ability to have an AI review the codebase to validate that what I’m putting on my phone is safe. The truth is that these are unpaid strangers making a great product who’s work Im not a subject matter expert in. Android is a large codebase. I’m friends with a guy who works on it full time and even he feels lost sometimes. So I reversed my phone back to stock Android for my daily driver.
If I’m doing better financially in a few months I’ll likely buy another pixel phone or try fair phone with graphene. I just can’t justify the purchase right now and my phone works fine.
Just a reminder if you like these projects, donate to them!. I dropped about $1000 on open source stuff over the last year to include joplin, EFF, vueJS, graphene, lineage, and quasarJS. Every one of them does great work.
I don’t know man, I watch a ton of YouTube everyday and YouTube also comes with YouTube music. I just prepaid for two years of their premium service and I might do another two in the event they raise their price, I want my access locked in. Besides OdyseeTV and Peertube are WIP. It was like $100 a year flat or something.
PIA and NordVPN are probably fine. If your pockets aren’t super flushed those are good services.
Thanks for the post! If I see it out and about I might try buying the Kirby return to Dreamland game.
Otherwise if I play switch it’s that pokemon scarlet and violet game set. They did a really awesome job adding ridable pokemon, auto battling, and raids. To me it’s pretty much everything I asked for as a kid. The graphics leave much to be desired but if you’re playing in 1080p anyways it’s like who cares, you’re playing for the concept anyways lol.
