I believe the FairPhone is pretty solid.

Not as good, but Apple stuff is a big step up from Google and Samsung stuff wrt spying.

from a, a coworker and b, a manager

A coworker and a manager at your company gave you advice about your job?

If that is the case, you should take it seriously. Make sure you know why they think their suggestion is better than what you are doing. You don’t know everything, there is a darn good chance they are trying to make you better at your job.

If it isn’t about your job, you should still make sure you know why they think their suggestion is better than what you are doing. Other people do know things you don’t.

I normally just cut it in half and scoop out the insides. Peeling one of those is a PITA.

Heroic with GOG works great on Linux. Why wait?

All the people wondering why they don’t support Linux

The Heroic launcher works great on Linux, and manages GOG, Epic, and Amazon games.

Option 1: When you go to their website for the flathub link, it takes you to a download for a .flatpakref file. Dowload that and run it. It will open the Software Manager to the gopher64 entry. If it isn’t opening with the software manager for some reason, tell it to open .flatpakref files with the Software Manager.

Option 2: Search for gopher64 in the Software Manager.

Germany just requires that all games have an age rating

Germany straight up bans many video games. Here is a partial list. This game has much more obvious blood than many already banned in Germany. This is the chilling effect in action, it keeps many works, even those not explicitly banned, out of the market.

I would guess the blood. Germany has some really weird censorship laws.

I can confirm M.2 to PCIe adapters work for booting Windows. Had both my Linux drive and Windows drive each in a separate one when I used to dual boot. Then I would swap out which adapter was in the computer to switch OS.

I haven’t plugged the Windows one in in a loooong time, but wanted to mention the option since it would do what you want.

Yeah, Steam in-home-streaming is great and is something I have used on many an occasion.

Game streaming over the internet is simply miserable.

Customers have roundly rejected game streaming. If streaming is the only way to play a game, that game will see a colossal hit in sales. This won’t be acceptable to companies trying to make money.

Pedant thought: The thumbnail shows one biting everywhere but the bullet.

I’m a big fan of the Keep It Simple (KISS) approach, and went with Password Safe. Works on Linux, Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android. It’s big thing is it just makes an encrypted password file which then you can sync between devices however you like (Box, Dropbox, etc)

Which one works on all browsers including mobile safari and mobile Firefox?

It has an auto-type and copy feature, so no need for browser support. Though, the main criticism of this offering is if you want a ton of features and don’t care about KISS.

Protip for the room: Use a password manager with a unique password for every service. Then when one leaks, it only affects that singular service, not large swaths of your digital life.

We have that already, it’s called Linux Mint.

Don’t overthink it.

The good news is. Even if you don’t change your strategy, you can just chill on index funds. When the bubble pops, they will go down, just keep buying more. In the long term, you will still make money. US index funds earn ~8% per year on average when invested for long periods of time.

I never got into options investing, but I believe you keep re-upping them. Every time you do so you pay a small price. So, the game is: ‘can you stay liquid long enough for the bubble to pop’.

Capital gains are taxed. Profits from this are capital gains.

Mid-Cap index funds should be fairly insulated from the damage as well, given they would exclude companies as large as nVidia.

Either way, biggest thing people is when the bubble pops, that is the time to buy in more, not the time to sell. The buy high-sell low strategy is easy to fall into emotionally.

This is pretty much my response any time Google or Microsoft does anything negative at this point. My good will for those two was spent years ago. Swapped over to Protonmail, non-google phone, Linux. Done with their shit.

EA was easier to get away from. Just…not buying more EA games solved that one. :)
