That would be pretty cool. But I’m sure there’s either a good reason or a good excuse for it.

These would be much more appropriate for your post.
Also, have a proper post title and question when you post there.
- Comment on You can still enable uBlock Origin in Chrome, here is how 1 week ago:
Been using it with uBlock Origin in medium mode which breaks even more sites and I don’t have much trouble with broken sites.
For the occasional website that just refuses to work, I use Cromite.
This, of course, will depend on the sites you use as well so YMMV.

Probably couldn’t type fast if he tried. Would probably pay someone to do it for him just like he did with Path if Exile.

Of course. I was thinking of Nostr or something for some reason.
Thanks for the reply.

What was his Mastodon clone? I feel like his name sounds familiar, but I’m blanking on the app/website name now.

- Comment on The ‘American Dream’ is slipping away in these U.S. cities 2 weeks ago:
In case you actually care to read it.
Full article copied and pasted.
For millions of Americans, the dream of homeownership is becoming increasingly elusive — and in California, the financial barrier is especially high. A new analysis of housing affordability reveals that the income needed to buy a typical home has soared to nearly $125,000 nationwide — far above the U.S. median household income of $77,719. In California’s most expensive cities, that figure is more than double, and in some cases, more than quadruple. In San Jose, home to the tech hubs of Silicon Valley, a household needs to earn $547,368 annually to afford a median-priced home, according to a joint analysis by ConsumerAffairs and the Urban Institute. In Los Angeles, where the median household income is $93,525, buyers must earn $318,103 to afford a home. Top 10 U.S. metro areas where residents need the highest incomes to afford a home (ConsumerAffairs): San Jose, CA – $547,368 San Francisco, CA – $386,359 Santa Cruz, CA – $377,260 Santa Maria, CA – $324,300 Los Angeles, CA – $318,103 San Diego, CA – $310,119 San Luis Obispo, CA – $293,793 Oxnard, CA – $292,252 Salinas, CA – $279,321 Honolulu, HI – $277,997 Experts say a combination of soaring home prices, high interest rates, and stagnant wage growth drives the affordability crisis. From 2012 to 2024, the typical monthly home payment, including mortgage, insurance, taxes and maintenance, nearly tripled from $1,091 to $2,889. That means a household now needs to earn $123,826 annually to stay within the recommended “28/36” budgeting rule, the study’s authors noted. “One of the biggest culprits for rising house prices is the lack of affordable housing supply,” said Katie Visalli, a research analyst at the Urban Institute. “Zoning restrictions and limited new construction have created a bottleneck that’s pushing prices higher and higher.” The affordability gap has widened dramatically since 2020. In just four years, the income needed to afford a home has jumped by nearly $57,000, an increase of more than 85%, the study found. Meanwhile, the share of homes affordable to a family earning $75,000 has plummeted to just 21%, down from 49% before the pandemic, according to the National Association of Realtors. For many renters, the biggest hurdle to becoming a homeowner remains the dreaded down payment, typically 3% to 20% of the sale price. Still, experts say the down payment is just the starting point. “If you’re getting ready to apply for a mortgage, you need to know exactly how much you can afford each month — not just the loan, but insurance, taxes, and maintenance,” Visalli said.

If emulation is an option you could play some classics on your phone if it helps.
Sorry for your situation. Hope the future looks better.

I lived there for a few years. It had good and bad just like any other place. And there are many things they claim and the people believe without questioning.

Sorry if I misread. Didn’t mean to attack or offend.
I do absolutely agree with you regardless.
- Comment on Is the ‘tech bro-ification’ of abortion here? 1 month ago:
Which is fair. I very likely misread it because us tech-minded people have a tendency to be smug or look down on our peers when they miss something we deem obvious (that’s been my experience online at least).
I didn’t mean any offence or anything by my comment though.
- Comment on Is the ‘tech bro-ification’ of abortion here? 1 month ago:
That’s how you know your system is fucked. Searching BY NAME doesn’t result in the app appearing as result number 1.
There is absolutely zero excuse or reason for that.
- Comment on Is the ‘tech bro-ification’ of abortion here? 1 month ago:
I mean, yeah. Just remembered someone mentioning that yesterday and wanted to add it, because it’s ridiculous.
- Comment on Is the ‘tech bro-ification’ of abortion here? 1 month ago:
While this is obviously the solution, being smug and pointing at it as if it’s obvious and women are stupid for not knowing about it doesn’t help.
If anything we need to figure out how to help women discover drip or whatever alternative we want to recommend. We need to figure out how to get it higher up on the Play Store’s search results rather than it being impossible to discover at something like #40 on that list. We need to figure out how to introduce F-droid and related solutions in a way that is as close to frictionless as possible.
Sadly, not everyone is willing to put in the amount of work we are and others aren’t even aware of the issues.

Grim Dawn is a similar concept with a different story if you’re looking for something similar as well.
Pretty sure some of the original Titan Quest team worked on it if I remember correctly.

Windows 10 LTSC can be downloaded from official links found here. An activation script is available from the same source.
Using this allows you to continue using Windows 10 with much less issue for quite a few more years.
A tool like O&O Shutup is also invaluable for maintaining your sanity on currently supported versions of Windows.

Pi-hole or AdGuard Home on your local network as well as some kind of DNS filtering on all of your devices for when you’re away from home.
All of this goes along with uBlock Origin on a Firefox-based browser. Block as thoroughly and effectively as you possibly can.
