Can’t speak to the other apps but I have like 6 or 7 Discord servers that I’m actively involved in and a half dozen others I use sporadically. Even if I got all my friends to switch apps for our group chat I’d still need Discord for the servers I use and I’d rather not juggle two apps that are doing the same thing (actually already doing this with Discord and a text group chat and it’s annoying as fuck). Also, switch to what?


Scapegoat is the person being falsely blamed for a problem. Children looking at shit they shouldn’t be online is the parents fault for not supervising them or utilizing any of the numerous parental control options available to them.

In this case the rest us are being blamed for that problem by being forced to deal with a bunch of privacy invading bullshit to fix it.


They’re not scapegoats. It’s the parents responsibility to keep an eye on their kids. The scapegoats are the rest of us having to give up our privacy.


Well they should just leave it be, but If they have to do something better that than invading everyone else’s privacy and ruining the internet.


How about tell the parents to pay attention to what their fucking kids are doing online instead of dragging the rest of us into it?


Some of those graphics might be showing boobies. Obviously this must be regulated.


I turned it off after that because no matter what I tried I couldn’t get my Bazzite install to boot and I ended up having to start over. It did work fine up until then, just had to enroll Bazzite which they had instructions for on their site. Not sure it’s worth it to have it on though when things like that can happen, if I’d been able to fix it I probably would have kept it.


I did that and windows still somehow fucked up my secure boot enrollment for Bazzite when I did an update.


For me the problem is with Linux I typically have to go a lot “deeper” to solve issues I have and those issues come up more often. Yes there is documentation available but it isn’t always use friendly and I tend to have to spend more time deciphering it than I would for a Windows issue where I can usually find the exact steps I need to take with a quick search (or often just poking around in menus).


then yes you should have as much financial separation as possible.

Yeah that’s a thing people in abusive households frequently have.


Probably in the same dark pattern bullshit they do to get you to turn the rest of their crap on.


I tried it for a while. Going back and reading it later just made me cringe so I stopped.


Big fan of Keeppass + syncing program of choice. It has served me well for years. If you don’t like nextcloud pick a different syncing app.


PIA has port forwarding. Used it for several years without issue.



Well, someone could. I’m just some schlub listening to podcasts.


the skip is 15 seconds and theres usually 2-3 adds on the ad breaks


i hit the skip button like 8 times and listen for the podcast, if i hear it i back up once until i hear the end of the ads.


Yeah that’s why we’re sending teenagers that don’t sign out to go to the bathroom instead.


We have to get those astronauts boeing stranded up there back somehow…


Vaping is nothing compared to what they could buy with the money they spent on the whatever exorbitant price this surely costs.


It’s not about the vaping it’s about teaching them to not waste public money on stupid shit.


Imagine paying taxes for education and they spend it on shit like this.


Not everyone has a personality suited to that. I certainly don’t and most people just aren’t that concerned with privacy. Just finding people that didn’t rely on Facebook was difficult for me. I don’t really have the time or energy to dedicate to convincing them to go further.


Because that’s what the core of the group that are generally making all the plans want to use. Some of us were trying to get everyone to use signal instead a while back but it never went anywhere. At this point I’m just grateful they aren’t using facebook to coordinate everything. Or at least enough of them aren’t that I can still find out whats going on via discord.


I use discord because that’s what social circle use to communicate. No one is going to follow me if I switch apps or care about my suggestions.


On the plus side Spains teenagers are about to become extremely computer literate.


DUDE. I had it on the SD card but in the other /storage/0000-0000/android/media path. Just changed it to the one you suggested and it’s working now. Thank you so much. I’ve been looking for an answer to that on and off for like 2 months


I have it syncing with nextcloud but I get permissions issues that prevent me from actually using it on android. I can only view my documents on my mobile devices. Wasn’t able to find a good solution to that.


Looks like you can host the syncing yourself. That would put it above Obsidian for me assuming it supports templates and images as well.


A random vpn in asia won’t sue me for torrenting.


Thanks. I don’t mind dling some additional stuff I just would prefer to avoid the bulk of it.



So currently my backups are on my media server which is ext4. These would be moved to my gaming system when I wanted to install them. I would just need to make sure that was formatted in exfat for this to work?




Are previously downloaded Steam games transferable from Windows to Linux?
I've backed up many of the Steam games I had installed in Windows. Am I able to use these on Linux or do I need to re-download them?

Mine does. They also keep an eye on it because I had gotten through it and that only worked a few days before it was blocked too. Didn’t want to press my luck after that.
