I mean, setting up Mullvad too isn’t that hard and compared to a Netflix subscription, it’s paid for itself several times over in the time I’ve had it. But I get that that might not be something your friends are willing to fiddle with.

That said, we’re on Lemmy, in the technology community – I’m reasonably confident that almost everyone here who is going to read your comment has the skills necessary to setup Mullvad and Plex; if not the entire *arr suite, a NAS, and Jellyfin.

Or, even better, stop giving them your money and get Plex or Jellyfin and return to the seven seas.

article is shitwalled 🥱

Compromise, then?

Perhaps every other night you can cook from scratch, and cook as she likes on other days. Or, you could try to replicate the flavors she’s looking for in your cooking. Involve her, have her try tasting some sauce you’re making or whathaveyou and then try to see if you can nudge the flavors in a direction she likes.

snip, forgot that was changed from default

I air gap my shit

that’s an interesting claim, how do you use online multiplayer games and discord while “air gapped”?

and again, your “tangible benefit” is rendered largely moot by the fact that you can absolutely get around kernel anticheat. All it really does is keep the skids releasing free cheats on UnknownCheats and MPGH out.

“I’m OK with companies using incredibly shitty, intrusive software practices because I don’t think they’ll affect me personally” is such a shit take for so many reasons, to name a few:

1. giving software kernel access, especially when it does not or should not need kernel access, is a security risk, and does open the door for malicious actors to take advantage of vulnerabilities even if the software is not malicious in and of itself

2. occasionally, intensively intrusive programs like this do break things unintentionally, which can lead to all sorts of fun issues. StarForce DRM is a good example from years past.

3. just because you do not have anything on your PC that you consider sensitive, does not mean that applies to everyone.

4. Kernel level anticheat can be bypassed. It’s usually not cheap/easy, but it can and has been done. Meaning, for all of the above concessions you make, there is no real benefit.

these are just the few I can think of immediately.

now where will bigclive get free discarded lithium cells?

tried the Tab Stash addon?

Try Oculus, 1408, and Session 9.

Everyone likes a good mindfuck horror now and then.

lol

Furthermore: lmao

Life imitates art, I’m sure I’ve seen this in a comedy movie at some point. I just never thought anyone would be dumb enough to say it in real life.

Don’t care + touch grass, don’t eat it. Bye 😘

no no, you misunderstand, vegans/vegetarians usually aren’t doing it to be healthy, they’re doing it to feel morally superior.

What you mean to mock them with is “yeah cartels are wholesome, sex and drug trafficking is good for the soul 🤗”

I’m still in the process of letting mine die (hope is a stubborn thing), but sometimes you need to accept your lot in life. Not everyone gets to do everything they want to.

now, I just don’t know what else to dream for instead. As it is, I’m just existing and waiting to die.

it’s nice to see I’ve never had an original thought in my life

Friendly reminder that nobody asked you for your opinion on others choices, and it’s a shit one.
