Me waiting for VRR fix:

Sounds like a lot of work, unless you got a set of stairs and a shovel

Why would you waste perfectly fine food by wiping it off with a towel? Kids in africa can surely still eat that!

Also just in case your crossword puzzle starts talking to you: no it didn’t (they’re not actually sentient, but can still feel pain of course). And please for the love of god, don’t ask it about it’s opinion on skin colors

Oh my gosh, your comment made me sick.

I mean really, who in their right mind would even consider that? Personally I can’t even imagine just wasting a perfectly good pencil. Please be a responsible adult and use a fork instead (in case you can’t fit the fork into your ear canal you might wanna widen it with a spoon first. Btw. spoons are the goto in case your ability to see is bothering you too)

Depending on your childs age and your bond maybe just tell them you don’t like the song? Might just work for some children, if they’re able to empathize with you (should be doable for most. Empathy can be taught!)

Noise canceling earbuds/a headset might be an option too (for you, or your child. Doesn’t really matter)

Luckily they didn’t have to colorize the text

FMHY has some good ones for high quality music. Organizing your Library will also be real easy with Musicbrainz Picard.

As for mass downloading there should be some Spotify downloaders out there. Every other way will proly not be able to get 100% of your library. Just make sure to use a trusted one, because you’ll most likely have login with your account to access your saved stuff & playlists.

Personally I download from Tidal for HiFi (yt-dlp + hifi-tui) and Youtube Music (yt-dlp) for everything else.

JShelter and uBO medium mode to the rescue. Pair that with Librewolf and you’re pretty secure against fingerprinting.

so what is being achieved here except paying more to be cruel to children and their families?

The cruelty is the point. Becoming homeless is a constantly looming threat for most people, so they need to keep working to afford a home (or rather rent one). This’ll keep them busy and fatiqued, which makes changing their situation a whole lot harder.

Like others said, disable password auth and setup auth keys instead.

Bonus points for moving the ssh port, using fail2ban and also setting up a tarpit with something like endlessh.

If you wanna go extreme use Wireguard to connect to your server and only allow ssh over wireguard in your firewall.

RDP clients on Linux are ass.

Remmina is better than windows native remote desktop shit imo

Just get uBlock Origin and block third party cookies & cookie banners :)

Many games do this intentionally btw. Make you lose some rounds and then give you an easy one to keep you hooked

It might be important to them, so why judge?

Cheers mate ;D

Honestly, I would just tell them

“No thanks”

Remember that no is a full sentence and you don’t owe an explanation to anyone. It’s not a part of your job, unless they pay you to attend. But they almost certainly don’t. I know it’s easier said than done, but try to not succumb to social pressure, it makes life so much better. Our free time is already very limited, so spend it how you want to. If they still try to pressure you into going/giving them answer you can say it’s something personal/private. And if they still pry further you could mess with them by making something up that makes them feel like a total jerk (this is pretty delicate, some people will definitely try to get revenge for this, even if it’s totally irrational. So think about it carefully, alternatively make them regret prying another way that doesn’t hurt them emotionally & socially)

Some people will not like if you behave that way, but try to live your life the way it fullfills you/makes you happy. There’s always gonna be people that don’t like or straight up dislike you, but fuck 'em. They’re not even worth thinking about when you’re busy enjoying life :)

Sorry for the wall of text. Anyway, that’s my 2 cents on the matter

Well, kinda. But you’re right, almost all of our actions come with consequences which can also affect more people than just ourself. But in this case our action or inaction doesn’t change much if at all

Corporations and by extension many people will sadly do and say anything to accomplish their goals

Well, thanks for letting me know :)

Felt kinda weird, but I actually know some people think like that so it didn’t feel to much off

Yeah, it’s great. Just fyi in case you wanna family share with your friends and Steam tells you “…not living in the same household…” is easily fixed by login into your friends account on your PC and vice versa.

You can use Rustdesk for that, so you don’t have to tell each other your passwords. Just keep in mind that families are restricted to 6 members atm
