  • Same strategy here. I’m in the U.S. and tariffs were my big concern. In December, I waited for the Sapphire Nitro+ 7900 XTX to go on sale and I paid less than MSRP for it brand new. Having experienced both the disasters of the previous two GPU gens, I had the foresight that the launch of the next gen cards would also be a disaster, and here we are.

    PC Gaming has become a rich person’s hobby.

    Buy current gen right before the next gen launches, and you’ll be set. I expect to get 10 years out of my card, with the incredible performance, build quality, and 24 GB VRAM.





  • No prob at all dude! I just wanted to add the additional context in case some other persons stumbled upon these comments, were confused, and so they can get some more information on different browser options out there. Candidly, I only learned about Mull vs Mullvad Browser this week when I was researching what non-chromium browser to switch to next.


  • Mull Browser != Mullvad Browser. Just to be clear. I’m adding this context because your reply was regarding a thread on Mullvad Browser, and you replied with details about Mull.

    For anyone else reading this comment: Mull browser is from DivestOS and deprecated. Firefox fork. Mull was forked by the community into IronFox.

    Mullvad Browser is still alive and kicking, developed by Mullvad the VPN provider. Developed in partnership with Tor Browser, also a fork of Firefox.



  • Zoom in and look at the persons below the billboard. Below the statement, read the text on the billboard that shows what brand the billboard it is.

    There are other issues too if you look closely. The reflection in the building windows of a non-existent car, the strange merging of two separate buildings in top left corner, the malformed black car on the right side of the image, the street that merges into a building, the malformed traffic light on the left, the black car with human persons protruding through the bonnet like video game characters clipping into other objects, etc.

    Edit: added some other examples




  • Do it. It’s very straightforward.

    • Buy a domain.
    • Edit the DNS records to make your provider work with your domain.
    • In Tuta (or even an alias service like Addy), create new emails using your custom domain.
    • Done.

    Whenever you need to switch providers such as if Tuta decides to support fascism like Proton’s CEO, you can easily switch to a new provider. Then add your domain to the provider, update your DNS records to point to your new provider, click Save. Done. And you won’t have to change your email addresses ever again.



  • Millennial in the US. These are my main devices: iPhone, gaming pc, steam deck, and an old MacBook Pro.

    • iPhone - general phone use, killing time browsing Lemmy when I should be working, playing roms, and Pokémon GO.
    • Gaming pc - primary. I prefer doing everything here including shopping because fuck shopping on a phone, I’m a millennial and for big purchases I have to use a big screen and a computer.
    • Steam Deck - mobile PC gaming for couch and occasions I’m away from home for a long time.
    • MacBook - secondary PC, only when I need a PC and don’t want or can’t be at my desk.

    Honestly with how far right big tech has moved, along with the predatory tracking and telemetry, I’m considering giving up smart phones for good. Not sure I even want to bother switching to a Pixel with Graphene OS after my iPhone is done.

    I miss simplicity, so I’m actively evaluating if a dumb phone (or even an e-ink dumb phone) is right for me. I’m also evaluating lugging my laptop around when I’m out and about because I can simply buy mobile service and plug in a USB cell modem if I need internet. My old 2012 MacBook Pro running Linux doesn’t track me and treat me like data cattle, so it may be worth carrying that around since I don’t get the same feeling of disgust compared to when I look at my smartphone.

    Big tech ruined everything.

    Edit: on mobile, fixed some typos
