Use "free" Google services so that any pseudo-governmental entity can get full access to your mails, backups, photos, contacts, location ... but worry about stuff in device memory. Yes. A sane approach.

Tangent: maybe we should classify FPS by more vectors, such as progression of gunplay (Doom 2016 is a masterpiece there, Titanfall 2 a failure), strength of story (most military-themed FPS are cringe-fests in terms of story), Lore/Tech (Bioshock's Steampunk theme always turned me off, for example), suspense (Prey excels there, COD bores) ... and many more.

This way, we might actually find decent FPS that each of us enjoy based on our tastes. <3

Total Immersion Killer.

I've switched fully to a 3" Unihertz Jelly Star in September. It took A LOT of customization to get it to become the "Intent" device that I had wanted it to be. But by now, it makes all unwanted behavior sufficiently difficult while allowing all modern conveniences such as IM, payments, tickets, navigation etc.

I'll do a proper blogpost series about it some day.

If consuming content is how you want to spend your energy & lifetime, then the bigger & brighter & more-HDR-than-life the better. I hope you find happiness. But if you at some point tire of not-creating and cannot stand spending your time as a targeted money-sack, then tiny phones are a good way out.

Bought my 1st SteamDeck on a whim after a friend showed me. Had a big gaming rig back then. Within 2 months the rig ceased to get any use. Now I'm on a 2TB OLED SteamDeck with custom triggers and regret nothing, My kids play on my older Deck. Best gaming hardware I've ever owned (ref: C-64 was my first).

Dieses Blatt hat es nicht mehr verdient als Quelle zitiert zu werden seit sie eine Ausgabe mit dem Doppelseiten Feature "Für & Wider Seenot Rettung" hatten.

Hier ist schon seit vielen Jahren nicht mehr qualitativer Journalismus, sondern polarisierende Meinungsmache die treibende Kraft.

Thank you! Precisely my thoughts. I was a paying Kagi customer for a year, but compared to e.g. Brave's on search index, their results were not vastly superior. I never got into using all those fancy search !bangs or custom prioritizations for individual sites and >90% of their changelog updates in that 1 year were about which additional new LLM was now also available for Ultimate Tier customers - but I didn't come to Kagi for LLM assistants. That's didn't use to be their value proposition.

POSIX and shell functions can get us very far indeed. At least, not everthing's an object in Bash. :P

I am also pretty confused about this. Any idea why the usual releases aren't available?

As long as I can still customize Gnome with some extensions for improved focus, it'll stay my DE of choice.
