If you’re very bothered by the ads, instead of an adblocker you can try out an Ad-blocking DNS. Personally, I use noads.libredns.gr

This will allow them to see all your data though, so I recommend using this method with a reputable VPN.

Thank you so much for the detailed answer 🙏

Basic, but Ubuntu. It’s got snaps which are slow and generally suck, plus Canonical

Between the recent breach and the clear sentiment behind their staff, I really don’t know why anyone chooses CircleCI over GitHub / GitLab Actions.

Is kbin.social still going to federate?

For anything lower-spec (like, <4Gb of RAM), Ubuntu absolutely CHUGS because of Snaps. Flatpak has no such issue.

Ironically, Lubuntu (a lightweight Ubuntu fork) worked the best for me while I was using it. No slowness, but I installed pretty much everything using Apt (didn’t know about Flatpak back then).

I ended up having it lock up and freeze on the sign-in page though, so I moved on to the slightly heavier Linux Mint.

I can also back that up! KDE feels way faster than Gnome (and especially Cinnamon) on older computers

As a long-time Tenchu fan, I feel this was about Sekiro to be honest. It started life as Tenchu 5, then got turned mid-development into Sekiro. I just wish it had a bigger emphasis on stealth, rather than just swordfighting…

My one big gripe with Mastadon is that images take absolutely forever to load if they have even a marginal amount of pixels. I scroll art often and I’m left waiting for greater than a minute for these things to load (and I’m on a very, very fast connection).

It’s both intentional and a result of how long it took.

Depending on where you live in the US, it can take years to be seen.

There’s definitely a lot of people actively defending Trump though, which is also a large reason behind the lag in justice.

I learned Gimp alongside Photoshop ~10 years ago and it’s my preferred image editor. It does have some silliness sometimes, but overall I adore it.

One of the best things they ever did was making it one-window by default.

I was, indeed, a frustrated developer. Struck at the worst possible time, too

I’d use Ecosia still if it weren’t for the fact that the filter is missing the “last year” setting. I’m a software engineer - 9 times out of 10, I want to find the bugs for a very specific version of a software, so having the year filter helps.

I now use Brave Search.

Metroid: Fusion is pretty fun!

I thought it only dived three times total?

It’s also very nice not having random downvotes for literally no reason. Some comments on Reddit would just end up getting a random downvote first, preventing it from getting any form of meaningful traction. No idea why, my takes weren’t exactly spicy there, but here that doesn’t seem to happen!

Parking lots are absolutely everywhere. Some zones just prohibit large ones for historic reasons or otherwise (it’s possible maybe you were in one of those zones)?

Visit Nashville, TN (around Centennial Park), Orlando, FL (around the Mall at Millennia) or Jacksonville, FL (around St. John’s Town Center) and you’ll see what I mean.

I used Joey for about a year but since the blackout it’s been uninstalled

The truck sims are so good
