- Comment on Former Palantir workers condemn company's work with Trump administration 1 week ago:
These types of headlines and articles are what keep Americans divided. Palantir is a terrible company regardless of their actions with the Trump administration. People need to stop being so partisan and see how the government is corrupt nearly as a whole.

KDE Plasma introduced a yearly popup for donation and it stirred controversy. Apparently it worked quite well to get donations.
I think it’s acceptable and not an advertisment. It’s a reminder for the service you’re using and you should donate to keep it going.

That sounds plausible but I’m trying to focus on the positive here

Let’s try and look at silver linings
What would be great is if price hikes cause people to purchase games that are worth it causing developers to release complete and feature rich games without further abysmal monetization statagies.

A simple first step to helping oneself learn better ways to deal with this problem is to setup NextDNS on your router and use their Roku or similar content filters.

- Comment on Just got my OpenWrt switch - what configurations / preparations should I do? 1 month ago:
Be prepared for your router to not work until you figure out how to set stuff up. So hopefully this isn’t your only router. I converted a router to OpenWRT and my knowledge of networking was super basic. It was very confusing but I did get it working in a few days. However, I couldn’t get some things working like a VPN or updating without wiping all my settings. OpenWRT is router firmware, not NAS software. You’ll need to run something like CasaOS, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS, etc for that.
This website is a great starting point for router configurations: routersecurity.org/#StartHere

And all presidents since Bush (I think) have supported FISA Section 702, among other terrible and unconstitutional laws and executive orders that each president wants. Let’s not make this about Trump but rather how corrupt the US government has been and continues to be

Surprisingly their apps don’t require Google Play services and have no known trackers via Exodus. That’s impressive
- Comment on 8BitDo Has Announced The Successor To Its Ultimate Wireless Controller | Time Extension 2 months ago:
I wish these were firmware based like Gulikit so I could modify everything without a software that inevitably won’t be made for Linux.
