I befriended this guy in an online game. Eventually we became friends on
Steam and it turned out we both had a lot in common and we started playing a few other games together as well.
One day he told me that he got a girlfriend, who he later then married. After some time they got divorced and he hasn't messaged me since.
I really miss staying up until 6 in the morning, playing long AoE2 and Stronghold Crusader matches with him.

I rather deal with that than any Micro$oft(R) Garbage(R).
It's crazy how many people are just OK with running completely proprietary code that monitors everything that happens on the machine and phones home all the time, all with the promise to "catch cheaters".
Fortunately every game I've seen so far with such malware is just a generic competitive multiplayer dopamine farm that targets the Streamer crowd.
"But all my friends are playing it!" - Is it really worth it to run omnipresent malware on your machine just to play the currently trending game for a few weeks until you move on to the next?
Eclipse 15 years ago was OK. Decent Debugger, useful Plugins (like WindowBuilder). It had issues, but instead of focusing on those they over time just kept piling crap on top of it.
It boggles my mind how people still recommend Brave as a good browser for privacy.
The entire point of Brave from the beginning was their own Crypto currency that they wanted to shill.
In their early days they offered a bunch of Tech YouTubers some crypto (via affiliate links) in return for them shilling brave.
Brave is basically just yet another Chromium reskin with custom branding, extra tracking and crypto bullshit bolted to it.
No, the builtin AdBlocker does not make it "worth it". Stop recommending this pile of crap.
There is no way that User isn't just some Internet troll. Lol.
Does anyone out there still use a 32-Bit Computer as their daily driver? The most recent 32-Bit hardware I've used as a Desktop was an RPi3 and running a modern web browser on that thing would almost cook the chip.
Hmm Good argument, but does Vim also have the ability to support a lemmy client?!?
Honestly a major reason I like emacs better is because most features/programs in it are written in lisp, and I rather write lisp than lua.

It's so funny to me how they always word it as if they're a corporate entity or some sort of "competitor" on "the market" when in reality it's just an implementation of a common protocol. I have yet to see other ActivityPub Projects being acknowledged by journalists. Focusing only on Mastodon is like focusing only on Gmail while completely ignoring the existence of E-Mail.
