I don't get it.

So this is interesting... My favorite of the definitions of "opinion" I found is

belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge

Because I was about to say that it's impossible not to have an opinion, which might not be entirely correct.

In DBT we were told that there are helpful, consequential and inconsequential ehm... evaluations? Assessments? Judgments? I don't know the exact translation. Anyway, an important thing I realized then was that opinions/values etc are not something you form consciously, they just kinda pop up in your head and change shapes depending on what you learn and experience. You are able to detach from your opinions, look at them from the outside.

edit: so what I ultimately wanted to tell you is that you can do this detachment thing with other people's opinions as well.

There's Windows 10 LTSC, which gets security updates til 2027. And IoT Enterprise LTSC, which gets security updates until 2032.

"But should you even use those versions?!? They are not meant to be installed on a desktop PC/laptop" - idk, it's either this or Win11.

the reddit watermark makes it even better

Yeah I do have a similar fear. Valve is something special. I tried to hate them, they're filthy-rich corpos after all, but I can't. Something of value will be lost when Valve finally succumbs to enshittification, which cannot be said of a lot of other big companies.

But my fear isn't necessarily about Steam. I have like 20-30 games in my library. Steam is simply the least shit way to play games you have/want to pay for.

I'm on Graphene too and I once read that the modems used in Pixel phones are pretty trashy and drain a ton of battery. If I filter my battery usage by system, it shows that network standby almost consumes half of my battery charge (~46%).

Maybe the other guy here is right and it's a VPN issue (too)? idk. Anyway, I didn't really found a solution for this except leaving my phone on airplane mode at night.

why do most communist States have this knack for massive intelligence gathering on its own citizens?

Corporations have this knack too. Everybody in power does. It's just that one privately owned corporation can only reach so far.

Pls Rito don't ban the toxic players, keep them in League and Valorant you'e like the SCP foundation or some shit. Don't just release them inters back into the real world I BEG YOU RITO PLESAE

Thank you :)

A little texture replacement mod I made in 2018 for Fallout 3 got a lot of downloads all of a sudden. Got a mail I thought was spam at first saying "Many people are downloading your mods and your efforts have been recognised with a free Nexus Mods Premium reward." Like wtf is going on

They don't expect you to pay for everything. Everyone who knows people like that also knows that they'll easily get the money they need elsewhere.

It's honestly kinda sad that people like you, who seem to be generally generous and willing to help out, get driven towards this mindset.

I'm pretty sure more than half of the money I give to beggars occasionally will be spent on booze and drugs, but I don't really care. But when I do it I am the one who makes the decision to basically throw away my money. Plus if I lend someone money I consider it gone forever. But I never let someone guilt trip me into lending them money and I will aggressively call anyone out who tries. You seem to have a ton of really shitty people around you. Take care.
