Just a pretty short question, but after playing Celeste, it made me think. Are there games that likewise feature ftm and enby characters?

So, I'm finally getting around to buying a Linux first laptop. I'm familiar with Macbooks, and so far liked them. I've also live stick used Fedora w/ KDE (though Gnome might fit too) and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and liked them.

But I do want to have more freedom and privacy. My most important considerations are:

1. The laptop is European (or at least, not from the US, unlikely to go Chinese either).
2. Good specs for gaming (if need be I could virtualise for playing Mac games). I don't play shooter games, but do play Paradox games which iirc are more CPU heavy. Edit: the most intense user case is probably Cyberpunk 2077. I have no idea what makes a good processor - at least with SSDs and the like it's clear that 'higher number = better'. For me, battery life is important, as well screen resolution, clock speed, and graphic card and processor.
3. Looks - I like the Macbook touch and feel. I don't want a numpad.

The four main laptops I'm considering are in no particular order:

1. Star Labs (Starbook Horizon or Starfighter). British. Lookswise they are a great match but the specs I'm not sure. How well would they hold up to an Intel Macbook Pro from 2017?
2. Tuxedo (Infinitybook Pro 14 or 15) Bit more well-known German brand.
3. Slimbook (most likely the Evo). Spanish brand. Seems more customisable but again, I do not know shit with graphic cards and processors.
4. Novacustom (PrivacyGuard V54). Dutch brand. Not a fan of the tiny ass arrow keys. 7 hours for battery life is also not much, imo.

If any of you know something better, please do tell!

Has this occurred to y'all? My browser as of lately suddenly checks. Even if I just search on "remove trackers" and a lot of normal links, I get the note "we nEed to VEriFY yOURE not a ROBOT"... it feels like Cloudflare et al are trying to force man in the middle attacks on you. And this also occurs on other browsers with other kinds of ""verifiers"".

The web's becoming cancerous. I hate this.

Drew this today for fun!

The EU is about to sell our most sensitive data to the US for visa-free travel

So I'm on my account and have no issues whilst logged in, but when I want to log in on desktop, I can't change my password in case I forgot it. I use Voyager on mobile, which doesn't let me change my password either ( @aeharding@vger.social ?).

I can't add an email address either, since on Voyager that doesn't seem possible. What do I do?

psa, for our men and manby's, there's also a community!

and happy enby day :3
