A courtyard of bamboo and late-night snow

a lone lantern a book on the table

if I hadn’t encountered the teaching of no effort

how else could I have gained this life of leisure

I went to Pop_Os! From Arch after running it for a decade so I support not running Arch. I prefer the simplicity of Pop.

I love Caesar III. Great that Augustus and Julius is actively being developed!

I love free games but I don't know if I want these in my game library, too self-conscious lol

Is Chat Control 2.0 an inevitability? Multiple countries became "undecided", what happens if EU Council adopts the position that this should go forward? ( digitalcourage.social )

From my understanding, an EU Council position doesn't necessarily mean the legislation will be adopted? This really feels like it'll be the time when it'll be adopted. The worst timeline.

TBH the only reason I used their service was to send pirated stuff to friends. I didn't want to compromise my own/my primary cloud.

Super reasonable. I should get with the times and start using it too...

I've tried keeping an offline journal, but it's never worked out really. I still feel embarrassed of putting my thoughts onto paper for some reason, and I also felt that I didn't have enough interesting things happen that'd be worth noting. I write a lot of poetry, and I feel the same there. It's gotten a bit better, but it's weird how embarrassing it still feels to make your feelings "known" in a different way. Especially because I never doubt my feelings or feel embarrassed about them as long as they stay inside my brain haha.

Anyone else that likes to put their phone in airplane mode to decompress/sleep?

I usually do this every night when I'm about to sleep, and also during times when I want to decompress from the barrage of notifications. Sure, DND mode is a thing but I really enjoy the feeling of being unreachable sometimes. Having it on DND still makes you receive the notifications. It's also easier than turning your phone on ...

@Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It's probably just my brain, but I'm thinking about how everything's still received even though you can hide the notifications

Tbh the only country I ever worry about will actively try to deport me for just trying to be a tourist, on some bogus charge after checking social media, would be the US. Can't ever think of any other country that would care or act with the same sense of superiority as the US.

US is also like the only country, as far as I know, in the world that presumes you want to immigrate there and you have to prove them otherwise to be let through

Day 341 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Today's game is Ocarina of Time (my all time favorite Zelda game). Playing Mario Kart 64 yesterday had me in the mood to play this again. So i downloaded Ship of Harkinian and set it up along with a OoT 3D graphics mod that took longer to download than it should have. It looks really good. I have it upscaled to max resolution 60 ...

Very nice. I played it for a bit recently but I quit at the water temple, didn't intend to but it kinda made me. To no ones surprise I guess?

Is corporate always the only alternative? I've been working in the public and non-profit sector, even in IT, and it's always been much chiller than "corporate". Maybe small companies are better too. Though I'd like to avoid working at all if possible, which made my returns to the working force always a bit meh anyway.

As I wrote in my post, I already have a custom domain but I want to use both my domain and theirs.

Yingwu OP ,
@Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I decided on Mailbox.org!

Yingwu OP ,
@Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Hmm I mentioned them in my post as I've been apprehensive about them, maybe it's unfounded though..

Yingwu OP ,
@Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Mailfence looks super interesting, but yeah, a bit more expensive. I'll definitely look into it.

Yingwu OP ,
@Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yeah kinda just leaning towards them in the end now after much back and forth. I also get 6 months free.

Regarding having your own custom domain for all emails. I have one with my name which I use for professional communication but I'd like the rest, like mails from Lemmy, to go to an address which can't be identified with me. Is it better trusting a domain name registrar and WHOIS to not give out info than e.g. Mailbox.org? Like yeah, sure, I could register another custom domain but this is what I'm worried about.
