Pornhub is an example of exactly this. They’ve blocked whole stares like Arkansas and Utah over these kinds of laws. I highly doubt pornhub has a physical presence in Arkansas of all places.

I hereby bequeath my Hentai Alt to my cousin Larry. May it serve him in his time of need.

Me, scrolling lemmy on the toilet after eating beans… feeling attacked right now.

I mean. Steam accounts are basically free. Just have a hentai alt account. Problem solved. Not that I would do that as I am a man of culture and refinement.

Honestly, the Reddit migration. I switched to Lemmy about 6 months ago. A few of the largest communities at that time were Self Hosting and Privacy related. Those naturally lead me to looking into Linux. From there I started minor self hosting on a Pi. Then, after a rather long walk through the Yongsan Electronics Market in Korea I built my own Homelab, and last week, I moved my primary desktop to Pop_OS. Honestly, It’s been a blast. A few learning curves, but the ability to have near complete control over my setup, and the increased self reliance has been delightful.

Speaking of plane tickets. As a man who flies to Korea to visit family every other year or so.

1. Always brows tickets in incognito. Airlines may change rates based on whether you’re a return visitor to their site and not having cookies can help.

2. Start with Google flights. This will give you an idea of when (what days and times) tickets are cheapest. Though generally Tuesday or Thursday are the answer.

3. Once you have your time frame use kayak or some other ticket agregator. This will let you find the airline and flight that you want.

4. Take that flight number and time and go directly to the airlines website. Aggregate sites like kayak rates are generally slightly higher that the airline because they gotta make dollars somehow.

5. Though not always I’ve found that some foreign Airlines charge native fliers less. E.g. if you’re flying Korea air change .Com in your web address to .kr. This makes the site in Korean but Google translate page can help here

It’s a bit of a process but I generally pay less than 1,000 round trip for flight to Korea and I live in a state with no international airport so I always have layovers.

Speaking of layovers. Use them. See a cheap ticket but it has a 24 hour layover in Paris? Fuck it, that’s a day in Paris :). Just be aware that you need roughly 3 hours in customs depending on your destination. So a 5 hour layover is gonna be a boring 5 hours. Long enough to wait, not long enough to do anything.

Bonus tip!! If you have good credit. Look for a credit card that offers a huge bonus or mile’s up front then immediately cash those in for a cheaper flight. Side note though on the ones that give you 5% cash back or whatever. You always have to book through them and it’s almost always, in my experience, like 5% more expensive. Fuck you Chase.

Honestly, the amount of time it takes AAA titles like this to launch is crazy. Buuut if that’s the price we pay for getting a finished, somewhat bug free experience, then so be it. I’d rather that that crunch leading to burnout and a product that gets rushed out to appease shareholders (stares in 2077).

It would be nice if there were an app or plugin that would aggregate them into one heading or folder. So that on the user end all of the Gaming@ Lemmy.lm Gaming@ Beehaw, etc etc just show up under #Gaming on the users end. It would also improve the longevity of the smaller ones since we can already post across instances.

That said I’m an idiot and not even remotely sure how that would get set up :).

I’ve been incredibly impressed at how fast the Jerboa team is working to catch up with the influx of new users and issues. Massive thanks for all the work getting done!

Exactly! Pirate Software talked about this a while back. Steam doesn’t want you cutting them out, and then them still being responsible for the bandwidth to download and host your game.
