Idk. I mean, you can stream games on your browser with a decent internet connection. I don’t know what quality the games will be but I don’t think games in a browser is itself a problem.

Web Applications are inherently cross-platform so they don’t need to spend as much developing for multiple systems.

Many desktop applications ares secretly Web Applications and you might not even know.

Mixed feelings about this too. I want to know that a prescriber is taking it seriously, but also, making a doctors appointment is surprisingly really hard for me to do. I don’t mean because of a busy schedule. I meant it is just really difficult for some neurodivergent people to do things that other people can do easily.

Online treatment has made it more accessible for people like me and I may not have sought treatment otherwise.

Thanks. That’s something I hadn’t thought of.

I’m sort of more moderate when it comes to paying Google to access YouTube. I’m happy to pay for products that I use. I want Google and creators to be rewarded for services rendered, but the prices are double what they should be.

I’m one of the people who used the VPN to get Premium at an affordable rate even though I have Ublock and know about other options.

My Premium account did get canceled. I was able to sign back up via another location, but if they push me out again, I would just revert to adblockers.

I suspect other users who signed up with a VPN are like me. We are the few who know how to get around the ads but want to pay, if we can. Just a guess though.

I realize they charge what people are willing to pay, but can someone explain to me why YouTube costs just a couple USD a month in some countries and almost $20 a month in the US?

Are operating costs cheaper in those countries? Are they taking a loss in those counties? Or are they just price gouging in the US?

I still get charged an activation fee for putting my sim in a new phone. It’s bullshit. I bought my phone outright from Apple. AT&T still charged the $30 activation fee.

Too late. I already canceled. FOSS is the future.

Supposedly he met the creators at a party after the first game came out and asked to play claptrap. I don’t have a source to share with you, but if that’s true then I’m fine with it.

But yeah, most of this movie looks very bad.

I was going through my YouTube subscriptions on an account that’s been active since 2010ish. I didn’t recognize several accounts at all. They had deleted all their older videos and changed their account names.

I found myself subscribed to things that I would never have subscribed to. Either I had done it accidentally or they changed their name and took their videos in a different direction.

It’s a bummer because there are some old videos that were pretty funny/creative and now they are just gone.

I’m hoping with the easing up of emulators and game streaming that Nintendo and Sega would just put official emulators up. Honestly, I’d pay them for access to one and to related games.

I know this is mostly wishful thinking but, a woman can dream.

Quiet, mate. Pulling the empty carts is the closest thing we get to sleep.

I just deleted mine too.

Thanks! I’ll do that! I guess I’m missing out since I was using a Vim extension rather than Vim itself.

Can someone suggest a good way to lean VIM motions? I’ve been trying to use it as a VS Code extension but I don’t feel like I’m making any progress.

I want to move away from VSCode but I’m not comfortable doing that until I have a better understanding. :/

I’m a fairly recent convert to Linux (currently trying out Fedora). I thought GNOME was trash and I didn’t get why anyone used it until I realized that the nvidia kernel wasn’t loading any it was defaulting back to noveau.

Fixed that problem and now all the DEs that I’ve tried seem beautiful and fast, including GNOME.

You’re not alone. I feel this way too. I don’t know what else to do so I’m just going to keep going, but it definitely seems bleak at times.

I love making things and I love figuring out how stuff works so at least it’s not a chore for me.

Same. I have a low paying white collar job that I don’t enjoy. I thought I would start learning development just in time or AI and then layoffs. It makes me feel really sick and scared for the future.

A lot of posts and videos have been put up about how it will be fine. That AI won’t take jobs and even with the layoffs, they say head counts are still up, but it feels pretty hopeless to me.

I don’t know what else to do, so I’m just going to keep trying and keep pushing myself to be a better dev. Maybe I’ll get there someday.

lol. Cybertrucks are looking like my sink.

They should invest heavily in Barkeepers Friend. Works pretty well on the sink.

I just used my regular credit card. But I know you can get a prepaid card for international purposes like this. I don’t remember what that’s called. I think it’s green, lol.

There’s a lot whole subreddit about getting YouTube premium for affordable prices with good info.

That is exactly what I did. If you Google it, you can find a list of the cheapest countries. Some of the cheaper options didn’t work for some reason related to how payments are processed in those places but I found one that went worked on the 3rd or 4th try.

If I remember right, I was able to use Ukraine. I think Argentina is the cheapest around $1 a month.

I’m happy to pay for product and services I use at reasonable prices. It makes me angry that they can offer this service for much less and still make.
