also i was using a vpn with an ssn spoofing feature to make it think all of the websites/services i was visiting were Youtube (that only worked for tcp traffic tho, not udp so no gaming)

and was using telegram bots to download flarge files (there are bots that will take a url and will either return a file located there or a rendered web page)

my former ukrainian data plan only had 100mb per day, but 10gb on Youtube and unlimited social media (e.g. facebook and reddit + messenger apps like viber, signal and telegram)

to be fair, its not the norm here and it was cheap af back when i was using it (around 1-2$/mo while all other data plans were over 4-6$)

theyre not training it
its basically just a glorified search engine.

(why cant lemmy hav custom emotes like misskey,,)

am bottom left :3c

most foss spaces im in are one of the gayest places ever :3

people just suck tbh

humanity was a mistake

tbf its a spectrum. literally almost everyone has at least some traits and its kinda hard to draw a line (and theres no "proper" diagnosis process for autism like theres is for e.g. adhd)

"infinite ips" dont matter if they block your subnet lol
ipv6 blocking is usually done on a per subnet basis

pretty much everyone has at least a couple of old or throwaway numbers tho?
use one of those.
i have lik 5 numbers from 2 different countries rn

also you don't need a phone number for a google account? (i hav like 10 accounts i switch between in addition to my primary one with all the billing info, google cloud and stuff)

what about hdmi?
like i get it, displays work ovee typec. but most monitors you're gonna find in the wild still use hdmi and being able to just plug your laptop in is a godsent

even has a flared base

web version is not as bad as the official client tbf

( even on Windows i was using sth called teams-for-linux (despite the name its actually cross platform) which is an Electron wrapper around ms teams, bc the official client was crashing/freezing the windows audio service somehow)

fortnite's kinda trying to pull off roblox tho, like their minigames are fullh scriptable in UE4

bt is not as good on linux (takes like 10 seconds to pick up my earbuds after i take them out vs up to 2 seconds on linux) but its still a major improvement. the new tiling seems pretty cool but eh didnt end up using it. virtual desktops and dual monitors work a lot better although switching desktops can break taskbar icons (and that bug still hasnt been fixed since release)

win11 is a major improvement tbh.
process scheduling doesnt suck as much as it used to and bluetooth has AAC support (win10 only has sbc which sounds bad)
defender is much harder to get rid of though (but you can still get rid of almost all online features and telemetry including ms accounts using group policies as long as you have Enterprise or a LTS version)

the only reason im not using it is that it makes copying from terminal impossible

cws/disclaimers are good
censorship (including self-censlrship) is bad.
