Now, thanks for the dev for last few days of engaging content.

I've been alive for more than a half of an average lifespan already, and working over 20 years I've met guys and gals who have not had the ability to read or predict social cues nor understand how some acts will look like for outsiders.

My own kid is on the spectrum with a diagnosis so I've read and studied quite a bit on the matter. This might sound harsh, but in the long run I think telling the truth will help the guy. I guess the dev in question here is either young or on the spectrum. Both are alright and we all make mistakes.

Censorship because people dont fall in line with your expectations or beliefs is not right. You will learn that along the way. I was more black and white, right or wrong 20 years ago. Getting married, travelling the world, having kids will even out straight edges. You will find grey between the black and white.

Just walk away if the internet feels too burdensome. Open source is absolutely great, but dont forget that people on the internet are clever, and sometimes even more clever than you, or me for that matter.

Kind of funny to be on the exclusive list. If you dont feel right apologising, thats alright. And even if you dont want it or need it, I still forgive you for trying to censor me.

Just remember though, shitposting is forever.

    While I've played mainly on PC for 30+ years, I've owned most of the consoles, lately due to kids playing on them.

    PS6 will be the first non-contender. Simply not gonna even think about getting it. On xbox and playstations earlier we have loaned games from local library, and thats great for kids.

    Maybe I'll have to build pcs for them now. Bad time for that, too.

    Thats samsung's marketing term for the desktop mode on their selected flagship phones. I have an old s23 with screen a bit cracked, but that doesnt really matter because only use I have it for is to connect that to the hotels' televisions. I carry it turned off when traveling so its encrypted before pin entry.

    I travel a few times a month for work. My main concern would be losing that, and thinking either what personal info I'd have there or what access it would give to a malicious party. I travel to somewhat hostile countries so my main risk scenario is someone confiscating my devices at border upon entry. That's why I dont carry the flipper zero around, ever.

    I have a beryl travel router which does wireguard to home and mullvad. I also have a broken samsung phone, which I use in dex mode to access services on hotels' tvs. Minimal setup needed.
