It’s even worse nowadays, because we have good alternatives, unlike 20 years ago.

Where’s Plume? It’s better than WriteFrreely IMO

Everything PHP-related is for masochists

Violentmonkey > Tampermonkey, it’s fully open source

They probably pay lots of money for it

BitSearch still works

Peppermint - not Ubuntu, but Debian, so it’s pretty similar

Without all the features that actually made the Steam Controller great… yeah

32MB was massive for documents at the time. It could hold your entire academic life back then.

Nowadays you need like 32 Gigabytes lol

There’s a pretty easy explanation for it. In fact, it’s just one simple word: stupidity

Right, that’s probably a good idea

First, obviously ensure that you stay safe.

But if possible, gather as much evidence as you can. Make voice or video recordings, write down things you here, take photos of things that might be important, whatever. As soon as you’re in safety, send all the evidence of your father/brother making death threats and planning violent riots to the police/FBI.

Print your ticket if you feel safe doing so, otherwise you can get it at check-in at the airport.

You can also just have it on your phone. You don’t even need to use Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, most airlines just give you the PDF file. @sprigatito_bread@lemmy.world

Use an app your family doesn’t use or understand, like Snapchat or Discord.

Nah, use Signal, they definitely won’t use it, cause it’s “woke leftist crap”

Signal posted this on Twitter a few years ago:

And this is what the Trump cultists had to say about it:

So you can definitely be sure that they don’t use it

It’s also much more private and secure than Snapchat or Discord. I would avoid Discord, since it’s not encrypted and your chats are saved to your account. If someone gets your password, they can read all your chats. Signal only saves them on your device, so you’re safe.

Mullvad VPN offers Brave Search as a backend in their Leta search engine proxy. That way you don’t have to access Brave directly.

I currently really enjoy self-hosted Perplexica (a FOSS alternative to the Perplexity AI search engine), which uses SearXNG as a meta-crawler, and Ollama for local AI integration. I’m very happy with it, but it requires a fairly powerful server (not a Raspberry Pi or another SBC, the only one that might work is the Nvidia Jetson or whatever it’s called, but I haven’t tried that yet).

Seems like I have 1.6K since I came here in March - that’s 7 months. It would equate to 2.7K if I kept it up at this rate for a whole year.

When do you think will Valve enable this by default in SteamOS? It would greatly help the little Steam Deck with playing more performance-intensive titles.

I think all the crypto scams, all the shitcoins, NFTs and other blockchain bullshit were much worse. At least AI companies usually don’t require you to give them large sums of money, they’re only after your data and absolutely fuck the environment by wasting absurd amounts of power, but they don’t try to take away your life savings

No shit
