I got pissed off at Google Photos, which led me down a self-hosting rabbit hole. Ended up installing Linux everywhere, even my “gaming” one eventually (I do development, and WSL was a resource hog).

The hardest thing to degoogle has been email - I’ve used the same address for years. But I use Thunderbird so at least I don’t have to see ads in my fucking inbox

Same here! I was worried I wouldn’t use it (I haven’t been gaming on PC much) but I actually game on it much more than on PC

I was playing Laika for a bit. The difficulty is pretty brutal - one of the harder games I’ve played in awhile. Like, you can randomly die from basic movement mechanics if you’re not paying attention. I wasn’t having fun anymore, so I had to drop it.

Moved on to Going Under, and that’s a lot more my speed

I wanna get back into MHW, but those unskippable cutscenes at the beginning are a PITA

I use FreeTube but hadn’t heard of Newpipe before. Thanks for the recommendation!

Will do sir

Omg same, but it’s been a rough year so this is my Christmas gift to myself I guess. Also glad to hear it’s helping you :)

I just got one so reading this makes me hopeful. Fallen out of love with gaming a bit in recent years

Same here fam

I hardly ever see people talking about Pocketbase in threads like these, but as a dev I love it

Dark patterns, gotta love em

Classic!

Hang in there buddy. Do what you gotta stay sane (within reason), get back on the horse stronger 💪🏼

We’re all gna make it

I don’t know when it started, but I had to start using Freetube after YouTube started clamping down on ad blockers.

Maybe I’m being a little paranoid, but I DID accidentally delete a few directories with dotenvs in them, which is what led me to find trash in the first place. That experience really traumatized me… so to break the rm habit and make sure I don’t do that on ANY computer I set up abbr rm '# Don\'t use this! Use trash-cli instead' # and abbr t trash.

Using trash is good… aliasing it to rm, maybe not so good

Or should, for that matter

These posts are getting really old and tired. I’m here to learn more about Linux, not hear the same recycled view on hOW BAd windows is
