At this point it not about passive collection, corporations are going to extreme ends to get our data.

I am interested in what people are doing to enforce their privacy while using the web.

I have some things in place, looking to compare with the community.

(btw, I am new here, this is my first post. So uh… Hi )

some Windows usage for some gaming

I game on Debian.

I game on Tumbleweed but on some rare occasions I use windows e.g. my gaming laptop doesn't have Linux.

my gaming laptop doesn't have Linux

Why not?

[-] FrostyPolicy@suppo.fi 5 points 1 week ago

Haven't actually tried but I have bad experiences with Linux and dual graphics laptops.

[-] Geodad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Me too. I still can't get the Nvidia card to work on my Acer Nitro 5.

Had to upgrade to a better laptop when Dawntrail released on Final Fantasy XIV.

Don't listen to them. I've tried it and it's full of brain rot, slop, microtransactions, and a lot of inappopriate content. It's not even privacy friendly.

TL;DR:

DON'T

Easy to say, not so much to convince kids. Keep in mind they want to play Roblox mainly for 2 reasons:

  1. internet videos (much like Minecraft, Roblox is its own video category on YT, tktk, insta, twitch)
  2. their friends play

That's the biggest fight, no matter how good some other game you make them play actually is, they will feel attracted to Roblox because of social pressure. If you want to see a similar effect among adults, look at football (either normal or murican) and EA's digital offerings

because of social pressure

yep

MMO, They're playing with friends in different states/countries. Roblox, Minecraft, there are few remotely playable social kids games.

I mean, those are all the things that they want out of a gaming experience.
