Seems generous, might be more like 5% reality.

Pour one out for a real OG

Steam Deck is great, 10/10, would recommend, but you could also just load Linux on your old system and keep using it.

Again?

AdBlocking is 100% OK, that part is correct for sure. Ad networks (including Google’s) routinely serve up scams and malware: It is foolish not to use a browser with a fully functional ad blocker at this point (i.e. avoid Chrome, use Firefox with uBlock origin).

As for whether Google approves: Fuck Google! They have been serving up malware and scams in their ads. Their opinion should be irrelevant if you have any interest in protecting yourself, they have repeatedly proven they cannot and should not be trusted.

I tried but Nintendo issued a DMCA takedown

P r o t o n

Mint is great for beginners IMO

Protip: Install Linux because FUCK MICROSOFT!

Never tried Raccoon but I’ve been fond of Connect.

Well that’s dystopian as fuck, ads are a legitimate security threat with the amount of malware, scams, and other shady stuff advertisements online frequent contain.

Edit: Not even a day later there’s a report about Google ads straight up serving malware because of fucking course that happened…

Everyone should care

Shit can get pretty wild when you start writing stuff down

Yup Gaben called it, just look at Steam.

Used ThinkPad

The web literally didn’t even exist at the beginning of the 90s, but you go right ahead and disagree your heart out.

Bet this kid wasn’t even alive in the 90s, the Internet was kinda dog shit before the web and the early web, while cool, is probably something that wouldn’t hold up very well if you went back and relived the experience today. There were cool things like BBSes, IRC, MUDs, and whatnot but they pale in comparison to what we have now.

It was never about fighting pedophilia lol, it’s about power.

Depended on the sub, some were actually pretty well moderated (though a lot weren’t)

Shit, I wish David Bowie was my mom.
