This works for people in the state of Florida too.

5 years ago Valve released Proton forever changing Linux gaming by xoagray in c/linuxfurs@pawb.social

[-] xoagray@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago

It feels like it was yesterday, and forever ago at the same time. Super cool though, Proton has changed so much about how I use Linux. As a gamer it literally made me able to make the switch full time that I'd been trying to make for years.

Reddit users who switched to Lemmy, what is the most annoying thing you have seen about Lemmy users? by xoagray in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] xoagray@pawb.social 25 points 1 year ago

My only real complaint is that some of the groups I was in on reddit either aren't here, or are super small here. As far as the people go, maybe I've just been lucky but most folks have been pretty nice, and thus far I haven't really run into the extremist stuff some folks ahve mentioned.

Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff by xoagray in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

[-] xoagray@pawb.social 23 points 1 year ago

The thing that really rubs me the wrong way about all this is we pay for Windows, I have 3 licenses for Windows 11 and it's gotten so annoying that I don't even use them anymore. I've been a Linux user for quite a while already and between Microsoft's doing more and more data collection, and more ads, I just walked away from it a couple years ago. Fortunately, I was in a position where I could do so. I feel bad for folks that must use Windows for this or that and can't escape it.

Has anyone else noticed a sudden lack of reading comprehension skills? by xoagray in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Idiocracy is slowly becoming a documentary, and I hate it.

Actually came here to mention this. I can't imagine anyone that wouldn't know the difference considering how popular both breeds are.

First Platinum pen, and first time using Platinum inks. the Curidas retractable pen. (pawb.social)

I love retractable fountain pens. So when I found that Platinum had one I had to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. Overall experience is this is a pretty decent pen, it feels good in hand, and it writes very well. I also got this pen for about half the price of the Pilot Capless. I'm hoping this pen does well as an every day carry. Right now I've been using my Lamy Safari for that, but having a retractable that's both high quality and relatively inexpensive I think might bump my Safari out of that position. The ink also seems to be pretty solid. it's a good looking blue/black. Though I did read that the ink is on the acidic side.

Purple ink in a box of Vert Amazone (pawb.social)

So I ordered a box of Green Vert Amazone cartridges from Jaques Herbin inks a little bit ago, just cracked the box and the first cartridge I pulled out was purple! I didn't expect that, and the rest of the cartridges appear to be the green I ordered. I have to wonder how often that happens.

Figured I'd make my first post here with my newest pen. This was a little gift to myself for 49 successful orbits of the sun. A polished Gravitas Skittle Paisley. I've wanted this one from the first time I saw it.

Sláinte.

Reddit Gives Final Warning to Subreddits Using NSFW Protest Tactic by xoagray in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] xoagray@pawb.social 38 points 1 year ago

I only go to Reddit now because of one or two forums that don't exist on here yet, But the more I see stories like this, the more I'm inclined to just say screw it and nuke my account.

You Can't Look at Porn on Any Reddit Third-Party App Now by xoagray in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] xoagray@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago

Eh, honestly I don't care about the porn, but with a lot of subreddits flying the NSFW flag just to piss off advertisers, that makes life a lot more shitty. shrugs Oh well, just one more reason to make myself scarce there.

YouTube confirms three-strikes test for ad blocking by xoagray in c/tech@pawb.social

[-] xoagray@pawb.social 11 points 1 year ago

Everything Google has done since the end of the, “Don’t be evil”, days has made me want less and less to do with them. I’ve been trying to scrub them from my life for a bit now, the only two things I still use being Gmail and YouTube. Though I’m pretty close to cutting those ties as well now. I just wish more the creators i liked weren’t only on there.
