Gotta hoover up all that typing data, am I right?

😒

Unfortunately, the stock one will be the only one with even a sliver of privacy preserving measures (so far). I tried Swiftkey when it first got released on iOS, and not only did it just not feel right like the stock one, it was also bought by Microsoft at that point and I hadn’t known since the last time I was on Android, they did not own it. :/

If you do find one though, let me know! I love trying out new things!

I couldn’t find where I saw/heard it, but I swear I saw a blurb about PRIME drinks containing polyfluoroalkyl, which is what allows jackets and tents to repel water…

I did however find a Consumer Reports article.

I understand completely and there is no need to feel like you need to explain yourself! I was really just poking at you. 🙏

May I ask what your total play time on a multiplayer game is? Some people rack up 100s of hours on both multiplayer and singleplayer games. So, I was just curious because you said 60 hours long felt like too much of an investment, but I feel like you’ve probably played plenty of multiplayer games that were well over that 60. :P

Lucky for us there are now Collections on the Nexus that does all that for you!

I’ve used the Oblivion Rebirth+ and the Steam deck variant. They work swimmingly well!

The product I’ve had since 2021? Shut the fuck up.

Okay? And there are plenty of other people on here talking about their own stories, so why the fuck can’t I talk about mine?

Why…?

Love my AirPods Pro man. No wires, great sound and noise cancellation. I have never had them fall out of my ears, even when working out.

If your earbuds are falling out, clean your ears and your earbuds before you put them in. Either that, or you need tips that fit your ear better. If you have those ear canals that don’t want anything in them, we also now have great (and wireless!) headphones now too.

Wires are really just for those audiophile enthusiasts, people who can’t be bothered charging wireless things, or people who would lose their head if it wasn’t attached.

To each their own, of course. :)

I hope we get something akin to Neverwinter Nights modules systems, so that we can replay this game for the next twenty years, using new modules we got from the workshop or some other modding avenue.

I still don’t understand how people make these with AI. I get it takes good prompts, but no matter how specific I am and colorful with my words, it never comes out anywhere this good looking. The last time I tried that garbage, it gave me a cave man painting basically, and it was the longest thought out prompt I had ever put in. I don’t get it, I guess.

The smoke coming from the unlit cigarette lol

I agree with you.

The people who say, “I don’t like to talk about politics” are the ones who have the worst opinions about shit and know they will get called out and god forbid anyone not like my opinions!

Thank you for this! Truly fascinating!

Did you ever play Force Unleashed or the KOTOR games? I like the idea behind the new Jedi games, but they really do not give me that Star Wars vibe like FU or KOTOR did. Force unleashed made me feel like a force user who we normally only hear about lore wise (Revan for sure, maybe lore accurate Anakin/Vader) but the KOTOR games were SOAKED in Star Wars vibes.

I’m only asking because the new Jedi games just felt mediocre (to me!) and uninspired.

I have had some problem with some Distros not appreciating Windows being installed first, and some distros require more hoops to be jumped through to get it working than others, but dual booting is worth it in my use case and therefore is a requirement to even have Linux on the laptop to begin with. I love it to bits, but I bought the laptop to game!

I’d go as far as to say it’s… MINTy fresh!

I dual boot Pop with KDE and Windows 11 on my laptop while trying to use the Pop side more. I need the Windows side for playing games when traveling so I can’t fully integrate into Linux just yet. No problem at all, and I hope you’ll be able to sudo apt yourself into the perfect distro just for you!

There are a few Linux distros I can recommend as someone who started doing this as a little tinker project when I was younger.

Pop_OS! Is a really great basic setup to help usher you into Linux. I installed the KDE desktop environment onto my install because I really like and enjoy the KDE experience. You have plenty of other Ubuntu “flavors” to choose from. I’d recommend giving them all a whirl or look and decide which one you think is the best fit for you.

ElementaryOS is great if you want a semi-MacOS experience but I feel it is perfect for someone who doesn’t want to tinker around too much or for family members to use on their 10 year old laptops/desktops.

I also recommend not fully setting your Linux side up (email, saving documents, etc.) until you get done with your testing different distros out. You’ll be thankful you didn’t go through the full setup process if you decide to try a new distro out. Have fun, and remember it’s all a learning experience. Don’t be afraid to ask for question or look anything up. If you finally find a distro you want to make permanent and remember me, I’d love to hear what you settled on. Have a wonderful rest of your day. And enjoy your newfound freedom! 😌
