When I left home at 19, things opened up for me a lot more than I expected. But I still regret the 8 years that I was just “hanging in there” because the alternative was just so much better. I see where you are coming from, but unless the parents are only somewhat bad parents that otherwise take care of you, this is bad advice.

Change your perspective… and the reality changes!

That’s what a daycare npc told me in Pokemon Black. Although I haven’t really found much use for the quote, it has stuck with me for long.

I was kinda expecting that sooner or later. Although it seems that it is only the basic interaction metadata - device info, crash logs, etc.

I have only used DISM (I think) for chkdsk. What else can you really do with it? I don’t even know what to search tbh, so pardon me if it’s just a quick search away

That’s why I started setting Firefox as the default browser on my family’s phones. They were too annoyed by ads and almost got scammed once. With Firefox and uBlock Origin it’s like magic for them. Plus they don’t visit any non-mainstream websites so they’ll never encounter such a screen.

A small step to a better web-browsing experience for all of us.

Hey, I’m thinking of switching my Jio SIM to VI. How’s the coverage and speeds for you? Is it cheaper and/or offers some actually useful side-perks?

What does Ace mean, if you don’t mind me asking?

Why did people stop using notepads (actual physical ones) for this? No digital storage, no leaks. Besides, after a couple of times you get the muscle memory of typing in the passwords anyway.

You just described Indian Online marketplace season sales.

I saw some streamer playing and legit thought “That’s CSGO with Valorant saturation on”

Am I just too ignorant or did they really make everything boosted saturation?

I respect you

That’s… an astonishingly low number.

I learnt quite a lot, but I guess the most important things I’ve learnt is IT stuff. Since I had a computer, I used to mess with anything and everything. As a result I learnt things that people can pay thousands to a third party to do, when it sits right on their PC. One of my relatives is in the IT industry (senior manager for a unicorn company) and I once casually just showed him what I knew. Even he admitted I had some interesting stuff up my sleeve.

First time checking it out, and I’ve never seen a firefox distro. Gonna try it out.

Definitely been noticing that. I thought it was only me…

I used to think Xiaomi phones were great, because they were the only ones I’d ever had. But then I tried out Samsung, Motorola, Vivo, and many others, and just got blown away each time I remembered I used to enjoy MIUI

No, that was on older software. On the latest ones you simply cannot use gestures with 3rd party launchers. My brother has one and I’ve tried it.

It’s absurd, yes, but nothing new. Many of the kids at my own school are leaning to the far right, without ever stopping and wondering if it even profits them. All they see are a couple of Instagram reels and hear “global leader” and “country’s decade” and decide they’ll follow the government blindly even if the most harm will be done to them. Worshipping your political idols is a way of life, and anyone who doesn’t see the very same line as yours is an anti-nationalist. You might have guessed by now, alas, I speak of India.
