Only when there’s nobody around.

Yes I live near a border and I know lots of people who do this.
- Comment on PSA: I want a law for PC games to be offered in physical versions again 1 week ago:
Yeah, how you buy your Steam/Uplay/whatever key isn’t the problem here. This person is confusing “retail” with “DRM free”. Yes, DRM free versions would be great but physical vs digital makes no difference.

That is a situation I had not considered.
- Comment on The fastest bicycle in history is the stationary bike on the ISS. 1 week ago:
A bike on the ISS might be doing 27,600 km/h relative to Earth but the bikes on Earth are travelling at 107,000 km/h relative to the Sun. It’s all about perspective.

Thanks!

I read the description and watched the first trailer and I don’t notice anything different. What are the changes in this mod?
- Comment on It always seems like its time to move to linux 1 week ago:
Amount of ads my operating system shows me: 1. I’ve got Ubuntu on an old laptop because I couldn’t get Debian to install and I didn’t know much about Mint. So I’ve seen a couple Ubuntu Pro popup ads.
- Comment on Suggestions for mouse only games? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t see any mention of the Civilization games. Civ III is my personal favorite but Civ V was also good. Keyboard shortcuts are a little bit quicker of course but it’s turn based so there’s no rush!
A lot of RTS games play fine with just the mouse, especially in the early stages of playing. I’ve seen a few mentioned but I’ll put Stronghold Crusader onto the recommendation list. I generally play it without any keyboard inputs.

- Comment on Discussion: Samsung kills the MicroSD card slot for their latest Midrange/Budget A-Series phones. What do you think about the future of MicroSD Card Slots? Will other manufacturers all follow suit? 2 weeks ago:
I stopped buying Samsung phones after one model had a known issue they did nothing about.
Motorola has been my new brand of choice. They still have headphone jacks and SD card slots.

If the Americans could read, they’d be very upset to read this.
- Comment on Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs 2 weeks ago:
It only affects one country.
- Comment on Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs 2 weeks ago:
This is pausing US sales only. Misleading title, only affects one country.

- Comment on What steps do you take to secure your server and your selfhosted services? 3 weeks ago:
Tailscale and being at my house is the only two ways in so I feel those are pretty good for me.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 3 weeks ago:
GN has some “regular car” EV options available. The Bolt EUV and the Equniox EV start at $27k and $35k USD. Both come with a panel of physical buttons and come with a traditional physical metal key.
Bolt:
Equinox:
The Bolt EUV is as close as you’ll get with new vehicles as far as I know in North America.
You can find a Nissan Leaf, they started production in 2010. But from what I heard the batteries degrade quickly due to how they were designed.
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been using Debian on my desktop for five years now so this information might be a bit outdated, but I have recently installed Mint on my server.
In my experience Mint (and Ubuntu) have been more beginner friendly with installation and initial setup. I remember trying to install Debian on my MacBook which just crashed on bootup whereas Ubuntu worked out of the box. Mint draws from Ubuntu’s repositories which are more up to date and has more packages in it. Being able to rely on apt for installing packages has meant an easier user experience. And the last thing is that there’s just more information out there for troubleshooting Mint problems than there is for Debian in my experience.
That’s what I find. I could be wrong about some of the details
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 4 weeks ago:
And Ubuntu Pro popup ads. Linux Mint is, from a compatibility standpoint, Ubuntu without the crap.

How does it feel to always know when the doctor is about to enter?
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 4 weeks ago:
Don’t want to bother with a cable at night.
- Comment on The basics of the Fediverse. Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Reddit, ... vs the Fediverse. What do you think? 4 weeks ago:
John Fediverse is in the middle, holding all the fediverse conmections together.
- Comment on How does Google make money from Gmail, the google calendar, drive or other services when used with third party front ends? 4 weeks ago:
I wonder what percentage of people access Gmail and Calendar through third party frontends in 2025. I would bet the number is very low.

I am a casual haha. The once or twice I write by hand with a pencil in a year I’d like to not have to track down an eraser as well.
