Yup, my phone is nonstop going off with slack messages and tickets. Time to mute it for now

Vintage photos of my city have trolleys, busses, and trains. Now we have parking lots 🙃

This would’ve been me if I didn’t work in IT

My personal experience has been that Linux is great for general use, and quite a few verified games. But anything multiplayer with anticheat, games that are regularly updated, etc, it’s a constant struggle. So I have a separate hard drive for windows on my gaming desktop and, in general, mostly use Windows on that machine (with a lot of tweaks like openshell). But all my other devices I run off Linux and it works out fine.

I’m sure there are games that run flawlessly, which is why I added the qualifier “In my personal experience”. Despite trying different versions of Proton and launch options, I’ve had trouble getting a consistent quality of gameplay experience with Guild Wars 2, where after long periods of play the frames drop or the game freezes altogether. Same with competitive games like Overwatch 2. It will run fine for long periods of time, but once in a blue moon it will crash altogether. Obviously not ideal for doing fractals with a guild or grinding ranked where getting disconnected lets my teammates or friends down and negatively affects my ranking process or even catching a temporary cooldown to be able to queue up again

Not a full list, but these are my day to day extensions that I use the most:

UBlock Origin - (obviously)

600% Sound Volume - managing volume for tabs

Dark Reader - Dark theme, that works well for *most *sites. Sometimes I need to manually disable it for certain sites that don’t play well, but that’s pretty rare

Fake Data - fill forms with random generated data - for every site i need to sign up for and don’t want to use PII

addy.io - extension for add.io email forwarding service (subscription needed) generate random emails for every website i sign up for that direct to my main email. If I start getting spam, I know which alias it came from and which site I made it for

password manager extension of choice - I prefer Bitwarden, but I get a 1Password subscription free with work so that’s what I use to share password records with family

firefox container manager - very handy for work tabs, logging in with family credentials, etc

Neat, I’ll check it out

**I checked it out, and there’s no reply functionality (which I use especially for support tickets), the email forwarding doesnt have a separate app, so it’s a bit clunkier to organize each alias through the duckduckgo app/extension itself. I’ll stick with addy.io for my use, but good to know they have that.
