This is an image someone else posted here. Asking if there was a desktop environment that looked like that. There wasn’t really.
For the record, I run Linux Mint Xfce with Chicago95. Honestly it was a mistake, the vibes of the UI are nice but it still feels kinda Linuxy (as in, held together with duct tape) and I keep roling up Firefox by mistake. SerenityOS or FreeBSD, something Unix-like, may be more what I’m looking for.
There are new games?
In all serious, the indie scene is full of new games that don’t require a new GPU to run. A Day of Maintenance and Ephipany City and Mouthwashing and Unsorted Horror and Cosmic Wheel of Sisterhood (to name the few specifically new games that I’ve played and really loved on my RX580, which is about 40% less powerful).
I considered Proton Drive but stopped when I realized that if I did then access to my email would be contingent on keeping up to date with my subscription, where it wouldn’t on the free tier.
Thank you Tampermonkey, for allowing me to fix the YouTube UI.
I want this so bad. Although in practice I imagine none of this will fit together well with the YouTube interface or with a custom desktop background.
I considered switching from Proton to Fastmail, because Proton seems to run slow in Australia. Immediately stopped considering once I realized they delete your account if you don’t pay for 6 months (and by extension, you’ll lose all your connected accounts).
So if you’re homeless, arrested, deported, or in a coma and come out of it you’ll end up losing your entire digital life.
Do your own research. This is supposed to be a starting point.
Haven’t switched from YouTube, but I’ve blocked recommendations (and auto-muted ads) with a browser extension for I think a few years now. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily made my life better, but it has made my engagement with YouTube better.
I’ve been deleting my subscriptions one by one, if the channels don’t consistently post stuff I find valuable with the hopes of eventually removing YouTube from my life entirely.
Unfortunately Qwant is free. I really want to pay a one-off fee to remove ads but that’s not an option. It’s also less feature-rich than Kagi (can’t hide certain domains from search, for example). Also, it blocks me from using it whenever I set my VPN to singapore because they haven’t set up ads there yet.
What makes Qwant noteworthy is that it uses it’s own web-crawler. And unlike Mojeek this web-crawler is half-way decent, although it is weirdly common for pornography to come up. Most other search engines are based on either Google or Bing.
I’m part-way through Valheim right now. Single-player on Windows, I’m gonna change to Linux in a few weeks I think.
Needs Qwant search.
I thought it was as much as the $10-$20 keys from key resellers.
Bluetooth didn’t work on my laptop. Got new bluetooth card (exact same type). Bluetooth still didn’t work.
Turns out:
