I use NextDNS for my phone (pihole in my house) as the service can block ads on any device. I think I pay $20/y for it, and that’s worth it to me.

Look, Gabe needs another yacht, OK?

21 years is a pretty good stretch to hold onto that grudge. Good work.

Little Rocket Lab is like Stardew + Factorio. It’s chill and fun.

OK, cool, thanks. I’ll check it out!

I tend to like Zen browser. It looks and feels a bit different, but to me that feels refreshing.

Meanwhile, after installing Linux on my laptop last week and getting that set up, I’m in the process of backing up data on my desktop to do the same soon.

And what are the good non-github sites these days?

Counterpoint: Someone can play up through Stormblood without having to buy anything.

But, yeah, I agree. I don’t really want to think about how much I’ve spent on this one game over the last 12 years. But roughly spitballing:

• ARR, Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, Endwalker, Dawntrail…I’ll say that’s 6 x $40 (not accurate since I bought special editions for some and moved from PS3 to Pc so that’s an extra cost there, too): $240
• $13/m for 11 years (I’ve played ARR since launch but there have been some times where I turned off my sub for a little bit so I’ll just knock off 12 months): 13 x 12 x 11 = $1,716
• Various Mogstation purchases, roughly $40?
• Total for me with this napkin math: $1,996

Woof. But, I do love the game and spent all weekend playing it just now. So there’s worse things to spend money on.

Currently the best investment is in gas mask manufacturers, unfortunately.

Yeahhhhh 8K is going to be pretty far off considering we still get 1080p “enhanced” trash with YoutubeTV for sports games. It looks like ass on my good, 4K TV. I can’t imagine that on an 8K display.

Though some sports - like the Unrivaled games on HBO - are of a higher quality, you just don’t get that everywhere.

And that’s just sports. Couple that with the fact that some people still have data caps, and I just don’t see widespread adoption any time soon.

Man, that’d be sweet.

Fully gouged.

Is there a shortage or is it just price gouging? We should be using the right terms.

I can go on Newegg right now and see tons of listings for Ram.

I feel so dumb over here having paid off my current car and giving no subscription money to anyone to use all the features of my car. I’m a fool!

Yeah, I’ve not used Google Drive or Dropbox in years but have just let my data sit on their servers.

Now that all these companies want to scrape our files for AI bullshit it felt like a good time to remove it all.

Good luck with that.

Counterpoint: fuck off

points to head can’t have your data breached if you never used Instagram in the first place

Just what I want: file explorer to load even slower than it does now.

Last year they started that up.

They still have free articles, though, and they label them on the home page which are which.
