Finally, POV used correctly in a meme!

How about you stop assuming everyone on the internet lives in the USA?

thinks queer people are the ones who are confused

Not a native English speaker, so I might be completely wrong, but doesn't the word 'queer' litteraly mean 'confused' / 'weird'? Not that it makes a difference in this context, I'm just wondering

No, I've met a lot of people like you, but honestly, I have a hard time understanding why you feel that way. I'm in a couple of small group chats with people I'm friends with in real life. A group chat makes it easier to organize meeting up and sharing pictures with everyone after. Besides that, in a group chat I feel less pressure to reply, because if I'm not interested in a topic or have nothing to say, someone else will pick up and the person who started it won't feel ignored. In the same way, I feel I am able to share more easily, as I am not putting pressure on any one person to respond and I don't risk feeling rejected, but often a person who I wouldn't have expected to be intressed responds to my message that I would have not sent them personally so I feel like I get to know them better. I have no shame in admitting that I often mute these group chats when I'm trying to focus on something or am not interested in the current topic. However, I also know what it means to be in a group chat where I know almost no one and they are talking about thinks that only relate to them, so maybe that's the majority of the experience you've had?

Ha, I was expecting heavy metal

What hobby/intrest got them to say that?

[โ€“] Rez@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

I imagine a kid who's smart enough to use a vpn, downloading a bunch of videos, and then selling usb drives to their friends at school, or sharing them via gdrive

Yes, it's really good! I do think that it can become a bit repetitive towards the end, but it's worth it for the beginning moments of exploration and discovery. If you haven't played a similar game like Morrowind before, I'd recommend looking for a guide that would explain character creation and skills. I never played the original, so I am no purist and would encourage you to check out some QoL mods and definitely turn on smaller dungeons in the settings, even for a first playtrough. Have fun, if you decide to try it!

Wouldn't the answer be "10" in that case?

I bought The Farmer Was Replaced yestarday, so I'll probably be finishing it over the weekend. It's a cute programming incremental game, but if you have 0 experience with writing code the later challenges might get too difficult

I was going to say Factorio as well! :D Hollow Knight has a native port and is a fantastic game, but my favorite games are ones like OpenMW or DevilutionX where the entire engine is remade from the ground up and open-source

In all the games I've played (one exception being Half-Life, but that's different) I really don't like using crossbows and avoid doing so at all costs. I don't really know why that is, but to me they don't seem to fit the setting of games like Elder Scrolls or Gothic. I love using regular bows, however. Maybe crossbows feel too modern for me? I don't really know anything about medieval weapons or when they were invented.

What about you? How do you feel about crossbows in these types of games or do you have a similar weird thing you just don't like and refuse to do in video games?

 

I think we all draw a line between privacy and convenience and I think I found mine and settled into a comfort zone of sorts. I use Fedora 38. My browser is Mozilla Firefox with it's "strict" setting. uBlock origin and uMatrix. When I need/want to use a site that doesn't work due to blocked connections I relax the restrictions in uMatrix or temporarily disable it entirely if I get frustrated or I'm in a hurry. I watch videos on YouTube. Don't use social media, but I do use Facebook messenger (although I prefer to use Signal with the handful of people I can). I use a Xiaomi phone with custom ad blocking DNS (I'd like to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS someday). I look for an app on F-Droid first, but install it through Google Play if I can't find what I need there. I use Qwant and DuckDuckGo. I use ReVanced. I do not use a VPN. I think that's all the relevant information. My question is: how easy do you think it still is for big tech to track me? Are there any suggestions you would have for a person like me that wouldn't sacrifice too much convenience?
