Or in Shavian, 𐑒𐑢𐑲𐑼

I’ve never so much as shot a gun, so no, never had an open carry.

Huh, I had no idea that was the case. How does what3words make money exactly? I assume ads but I block those everywhere I use a screen.

Are there any services that do roughly the same thing but are open source?

The what3words app is awesome and lets you share any 10-foot square on the planet and save them into lists.

It’s not on F-Droid, but I use BlipBlip for this exact thing. It’s an old app sadly, but still works on Android 14. There’s a ton of customization options which you might find useful.

On Firefox I like Nimbus for advanced screenshots and Raindrop.io as my available-everywhere bookmark manager.

I appreciate your thoughtful reply! I guess it does boil down to a difference in how people like to consume content. I prefer being able to get a digest or summary of interesting things to read and don’t care so much about what’s brand new. Using AI for this could work well and I’m sure we’ll see that pretty soon.

And certainly you’re right about needing a willingness to jump in. I always feel like whatever I have to say is less important than what others are doing which scares me out of posting. That’s why I like places like Lemmy where I can make a post and if people see it that’s cool, but it’s not in everyone’s face and easy to ignore.

I would personally love to use GOG for their buy-to-own model, but I’m incredibly tied into the Steam ecosystem. I just can’t live without Remote Play Together for playing with distant friends, the Workshop is incredibly convenient for modding, and free no-setup cloud sync of all my saves is a no-brainer. Gabe Newell was right when he talked about piracy being a service issue. If you provide the best service, people will keep coming back.

In that same vein, I’ll never buy another Ubisoft title as long as I live. Their crappy launcher makes it impossible to play their games on Linux.

I see lots of love for Linux in the comments which is awesome, but is there anyone considering making a hackintosh out of their machine? Is that a good route to go these days?

Proud of you for breaking the habit! Not sure if you’re masc or fem, but I’m masc and all I do is clip them before they get too long which helps prevent the buildup of dirt. Nail clippers also usually have a little scraper attachment that works great for getting dirt out when you notice it. I’ve never felt the need to file my nails, but you may prefer the extra smoothness!

I use an alternative side-loaded Instagram app called Instander which blocks ads and comes with other nice features. I don’t use the platform much anyhow, but when I do it makes the experience actually tolerable.

My parents got me my first video game when I was 3 years old called Ready for Math with Pooh. I still remember some of the games!

It uses hardly any in my experience! My Weather Channel widget uses more just from refreshing in the background.

I use Niagara with a live wallpaper called Wallow. It just creates a beautiful and simplified experience for me that has all the features I need and gets out of my way when I don’t.

I was just watching a couple friends of mine stream Remnant 2 earlier and it does look pretty slick. It seems there is at least one puzzle that requires co-op to fully solve, and there may be more further in just so you and others are aware.
