Contribute? That's basically its only purpose now, rot your brain with a dopamine drip and show you a bajillion ads. Now with AI slopgen being baked right into most of them it's been set into overdrive.

Deleted all my social media accounts except Youtube (but I use Unhook to remove everything except my subscriptions and the search). Haven't felt better. I use Telegram and Whatsapp and SMS to keep in touch with friends and family, nothing connected to any social app. I avoid all of the social-media-lite features in those apps like the plague.

You should play more indie games. Not only are they more gameplay focused, there is an over abundance of great games at bargain prices.

I just picked up Prodeus, if you like games like old Doom and Quake you’ll probably love it.

Also, From Software games (Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Sekiro, Armored Core) are basically all gameplay. Cutscenes are kept to a minimum and gameplay is is tight AF

Profiles for the typical Work/Personal separation with their own bookmarks, extensions, password manager accounts etc……

Then I use containers for isolating sensitive accounts within those profiles (bank, work Google Drive, etc).

I also use temporary containers to make it easier to be logged into the same site with multiple accounts at the same time between tabs - like admin and user accounts for our company’s app - which also make it easier to clear sessions and data.

I'm happy this is getting a new UI. Always been a pain to use compared to Chrome profiles.

Profiles WITH container tabs is pretty killer, dont' think Chrome has anything like this.

Basically it boils down to:

Is your time worth more than what the fully managed services on AWS cost? And I mean that quite literally in the sense of your billable hours.

If you like spending time tinkering with manually configuring linux servers, and don't have anything else that generates better value for you to do - by all means go for it.

For small pet projects with no customers, a cheap Hetzner box is probably fine. For serious projects with customers that expect you to be able to get back on your feet quickly when shit hits the fan, or teams of developers that lose hours of productivity when a sandbox environment goes down, maybe not so much.

Is AWS more expensive than the salary of the infra guy you would need to hire to do all this stuff by hand? Probably not.

deleted my account a few weeks ago and it actually feels like my health has improved because i'm no longer constantly bombarded with ragebait and doomerism

i hope they keep ruining the experience of using it some more

Very nice. Looked up real quick how this works. Haven't used Debian in years so nice to see this kind of stuff now.

You don't.

Was your project asking for all this? No? Reject.

Many PS5 games have keyboard and mouse support, Fortnite being one of course.

This is why I consider it a (security) feature that these anti-cheats don’t work on Linux.

This is why I love OpenSUSE, when you update your system it will let you know when updated files that certain processes are using were touched and you can then decide if you want to restart them.

Suse systems in general are just so much nicer to administer than RedHat or Debian/Ubuntu ones (imo of course).

What a joke of an OS and company.

Fortnite is a problem because of kernel level anti-cheat, trying to get it work on Proton....will probably be a long time.

The solution is: buy a Playstation.

Honestly - not gonna be feasible to sign things that are not AI-generated. For example, my friend's phone uses generative AI for the insane zoom capability it has - so every photo my friend takes would not be able to be signed.

And this is the crux of the issue - we are beelining to a world where EVERYTHING gets an AI filter in front of it. In a few years there will be no authentic content at all.

This is crazy. And they created an entire business around containers not even understand the basics of how building them work? Yikes.

This will just create a black market for AI generated video content that doesn't have a signature. Which I'm sure that China, Russia, hell even the US governments would not have a problem with because that would be extremely useful for them.

Yeah I don't want to work with lazy people either. Shame.

For the love of god why can't people just use standard elements for their intended purpose.

Here's a tip for weirdo front-end devs that do this: You are not smarter than the people that created the spec.

I suppose we could use a few pennies to hire some security guards to protect the filled holes.

Now we’re creating jobs!

This is just starting to sound more and more like "we're almost at AGI I promise bro just need one more round of investment bro please just one trillion more dollars please bro".

Yeah but why would anyone pay for that when you can just use Codex/ClaudeCode/Amp/etc...

I don't even bother with iTerm's AI integration because why would I???

Paying for a terminal, lmao.

Well, I've got great news then 92% of GDP growth in the first half of 2025 was hole filling companies paying hole digging companies to dig holes and in-kind pay them to fill them up again

what could possibly go wrong

They are banking on:

* stock prices increasing more than the non-existent money being burnt

* they are now too big to fail - turn on the real money printers and feed it directly into their bank accounts so the Chinese/Russians/Iranians/Boogeymen don't kill us all

We are heading to an apocalyptic level of psychosis where human beings won't even believe the things they see with their own eyes are real anymore because of being flooded with AI slop 24/7/365.

Speedrunning to "too big to fail". Turn on the infinite money printers and feed them directly into Sam Altman's bank account or the Chinese/Russians/Iranians/Boogeymen will destroy us all.

Isn't paying a company to dig a hole who then pays you the same amount to fill said hole illegal?

The Newfoundlanders were on to something

How about we cut the baby in half and just shift back by 30 minutes.
