Now it’s crazy because our politician wants to fuck a couch.
Take out the king in one move with this one simple trick.
Bro my body can’t take it anymore, I’m so sick. I’ve had 23 Mountain Dews and 14 Doritos Dew It Right today. My LG tv still wants me to sing and dance to continue.
5Gee modem too I think. It’s just leechcraft from these wizards.
And you are correct as there are now Samsung and LG smart monitors. It won’t be long before all monitors are smart.

Enjoy your coming Steam Deck! It’s incredible to have your PC library in your hands in a very comfortable device! Every now and then I fire up my old ROMs that I backed up back in the day, so I’ve been dabbling with X-Men Legends on GameCube.
+1 for Control. Played it a few years ago and had a wonderful time with it.
- Monitors. Possibly the most cost-effective option and your best choice.
Just adding a note here that the Smart cancer has already begun infiltrating monitors. Samsung and LG make them, and I’m sure more will follow very soon. It won’t be long before dumb monitors no longer exist.

Already upgraded to Linux Mint - https://lemmy.world/post/24365609
It’s been going great! Everything works as I expected. I now have full confidence that I will never switch back to Windows. It really does feel liberating having an OS that doesn’t track me.
Hopefully we'll get the true version of Tales of Symphonia! The proper 60 FPS GameCube version, and not the crappy 30 FPS ports with missing lines of dialogue.
Great questions! Seriously, those made me think for sure.
For question one, I suppose a profiler could do that. If my domain name is myemaildomain.com, they probably could track all emails and sell it collectively. But I don’t think corporations do that at this time. That would be akin to profiling all Hotmail, Gmail, Live, etc emails, appreciating those are massive services. I suppose if nefarious actors were to do that to my domain, I could consider switching domains - I have multiple domain names I own, and it’d be trivial to use the other ones. In the years I’ve been using a custom domain for email, I haven’t encountered any nefarious actors and have significantly eliminated any spam.
For question two, the domain provider I use doesn’t do that in their terms of service. However, if they did look at my MX records and decided they wanted to profile me as a user of Addy, they definitely could do that. Though it would hurt their business as many users would migrate their domains to new registrars - I certainly would move my domains to a new registrar!
When you get an email from Company A that sends to your alias email, the email goes to your inbox. When you reply to that email, your alias provider forwards it to Company A where the sender is your alias address.
In short, you simply reply and your alias service takes care of it for you so that the recipient only sees your alias email and not your true email.
I signed up with them ensuring I read their privacy policy. Based on my personal privacy threat model, I’m okay with their policy. This wouldn’t fit a more intensive threat model.
I haven’t read it recently but last I remember they do have the option to temporarily store an email in the event of a failed delivery, until it can eventually get sent to you. This is opt-in I believe, and a toggle you can enable in your account.
In the time I’ve used them I haven’t had any issues with email deliveries. Been happy with the service so far, having left SimpleLogin and Proton for political reasons.
This is what I do as well. I purchased my own custom domain name and run aliases off it using Addy. So as an example, an email for an online account would look like: [email protected]
Then I feed these accounts into a password manager so I don’t have to remember them.
All the aliases forward mail directly to my main inbox. Companies never see what my real address is. If I get spam, I know which company either sold my data or leaked my data. I can then take action by simply turning off that email alias and then spinning up a new one.
The best thing about owning your custom domain is that you’re in control and never have to change your email addresses. If I want to move to a new email provider, I can easily do that. The process, simplified:
- Buy a domain name
- Sign up for an email account at Tuta, Mailbox, etc.
- Set up your custom domain at that provider.
- Go to your Domain provider and update your MX records so that it syncs with the email provider.
- if you want to switch email providers, get a new one and then update your MX records to point to the new provider.
- If you updated your records to point to the new provider, you’re done. It’s that simple. You won’t miss an email.
Edit: All providers make it very simple to set up a custom domain. If you can follow instructions and copy and paste text, their systems will run checks to make sure you did it correctly and it’s syncing properly. Very easy for those who aren’t technical.
Alright nerds, I installed Linux Mint on my MacBook Pro
In the spirit of my previous post about switching to Linux Mint, I decided I'd go ahead and re-purpose my old computer.
Introducing: Apple MintBook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2012)
I think you nerds are gonna love it. I can actually do light gaming on this, too. Runs surprisingly fast, too!
Unlike modern day Apple, this MacBook was always fun to work on because you can easily swap parts without worrying about cloud activation locks, soldered RAM, glued batteries with self-destruct, etc. I dropped in a new aftermarket battery that took me five minutes to replace, upgraded the RAM, and slapped in a higher capacity SSD than what I originally bought this with back in the day.
My MintBook Pro runs fantastic, especially on Linux Mint 22.1 Xia with the new battery performance modes. Can't wait to use this more!
I tused to sit in a drawer as ewaste since the last possible compatible Mac OS version on this computer ran terrible and made my MacBook Pro unusable
Extra bandage
I accidentally cut my thumb with a peeler while preparing lunch. I cleaned my work area, cleaned the wound, and put a bandage on my thumb to stop the bleeding. It didn’t stick to my skin very well, so I used another bandage to secure the bandage. They are a value brand I got on sale a few years ago, so I’m grateful for my economical decisions.
The cut stings a bit, but I’ll be okay. It’s my non-dominant hand.
I don’t believe this will prevent me from other activities I have planned for this weekend.
Alright you nerds, I made the jump to Linux.
I've been a Windows user all my life and had dabbled in the Apple ecosystem for a bit. With the upcoming end of support for Windows 10 in Oct 2025, I figured I'd put myself through a huge challenge of cutting over completely to LInux without a secondary backup drive with Win 10 on it. If I could survive the struggles for a few months, I'd be golden, and if I couldn't, then I could switch to Windows 10 LTSC and be good until 2029. The intention was to completely force myself in without a backup plan - the only way out would be to install a new Windows OS. I chose Linux Mint after careful consideration, especially considering that there's tons of resources and help with this distro, and it's a great onboarding ramp for Windows users. I need the familiarity since I'm in tech full time and just don't have the energy to hassle with my PC after a long stressful day at work.
I also used this as a good excuse to upgrade my PC a bit, too. 😀
After switching in mid December, I'm happy to re
Spelling is fun!
Meme:
Taylor Swift meme. The top-half of the meme is a screenshot of Taylor Swift's music video "ME!", where Taylor is being lifted above a crowd while she sings. The caption reads "2019 Taylor: 'Hey, kids! Spelling is fun!' " The bottom-half of the meme is official art of Taylor featured in her 2024 album "THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY". Taylor Swift faces away from the camera and appears somber and sad. The text imposed on the bottom-half of the image reads "2024 Taylor: 'D-Y-I-N-G.'". This is a lyric from her song "How Did it End?"
Meme Context (for those that don't know much about Taylor at all and can only name one song - "Shake it Off")
The 2019 picture is from her album "Lover", where she feels she's in a great relationship and made several smash hit songs such as "Lover" and "ME!", a song famously embracing and celebrating inclusivitiy and the LGBTQ+ community. If you or someone you knew was married in 2019/2020, chances are you heard Lover played d
Batman: Arkham Origins (2013) - TV Spot
I'm replaying Arkham Asylum for the first time since close to when it first came out! It's old for sure but it doesn't take long to get used to it again.
However, I'm reminded of 2013 when young me saw a TV commercial for "Batman: Arkham Origins".
If you're a Batman fan and never saw this trailer before, I promise you that this is the epitome Batman video that captures the pain, resolve, and essence of Batman entirely within 53 seconds. This is a must-watch.
Enjoy!
