Rural Japan.

My kids (2 and 4) can use chopsticks already. Plenty of restaurants around here where you won't see a spoon, fork or knife. (However, it's certainly possible to ask the staff for western cutlery, and in the main cities they're more likely to be prepared for that question)

Pi-Hole is a really thing but I don’t think my tech skills are quite up to scratch. Plus I think the wife would get ratty if it stopped working while I was out.

And I feel like that happened really quickly. It doesn’t feel like that long ago that Edge was a nice, nimble browser. Not this bloated naggy beast it is now.

Disco Elysium I think. It’s a goddamn quote factory that game!

Who’s monopoly are we talking about? If that’s the goal then Firefox + DuckDuckGo would be more sensible right?

I wouldn’t put forward 0 A.D. in this situation. That’s a full-blown 3D game. Even Wesnoth and Orion might be a bit much for this case.

Oh yeh, totally normal. I switch distros roughly once a year and if I have more than one device on the go then I almost always have different distros on each of them. I think I was with Linux Mint the longest, but even then I switched DE at least 3 times.

I used Blender as a video editor for a while. It worked really well. Very stable and the proxy system made editing on a low powered machine really nimble. I remember there was some project that offered a Blender setup geared specifically towards video editing. Can’t recall the name though. The Blender Velvets?!? That doesn’t sound right …

I also tried Olive many years back and thought it looked great but just wasn’t ready to push out ShotCut and KdenLive from my workflow. Glad they’re still working on it.

Agree 100%. I always though the name suggested it wasn’t quite a complete game. In fact at first I didn’t think it was a game at all.

Thanks for the TLDR, nice to know the reasons behind the name. And good reasons they are too.

Guh. Amen to this! I’m in the same boat. Sometimes I just bring a Linux laptop with me to work just to have a break from the work computer.

I’m so on board for this.

Oh interesting! I’d never heard of le-potato. I’ll check that out, thanks!

For me it was more a system than an specific game. I got a second hand GameBoy when I was like 5 or 6 and have been gaming consistently since then. Probably the highlight of that period was Super Mario though.

I enjoy using Brave Search. But it sucks for images for some reason. I use DDG for images.

Haha, I noticed that too.

Pretty fun game too!

Orion is a pretty nice browser! Quite customisable too. It’s made by the people behind Kagi, the private (paid) search engine.

I think Ecosia pulls results from Bing if that’s any better? I use them occasionally but generally prefer DDG.

I’m playing Pokémon HeartGold for the first time. I’ve always kind of liked Pokemon but I’ve never really gotten into one of the games properly, so I’m trying with this one.

Sorry, late reply but apparently Google Japan often does a weird keyboard joke on 10/1. Perhaps because there are 101 keys on a full keyboard (I think).
