I use a wireguard tunnel and run my system through my dual PiHoles at home… on my iPhone. I don’t get tons of ads. But I’m stubborn like that. If they manage to show me ads after all, I’ll simply stop using the whatever unless I have no choice. I’m not married to any of this shit and hate ads more than I like apps etc.

The joke is you n all of them - I’m an adult and I enjoy coming home and playing PC games on my PC with its large gaming PC monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

I’m glad you all love your handhelds, but I’m good without one.

I don’t understand the need for any such clients in the first place. Steam is used to sell you games, and install/manage/run them for you.

But unless you’re a child you shouldn’t actually need any of that. I’m perfectly capable of going to Factorio’s web site, buying it, downloading it, and running it. On any platform it supports.

That’s not a critique of this software project, I bet it’s cool. I just don’t need a middleman between me and video games. It’s the store that wants to sell me more and more and more or the publisher who wants that.

I cannot stress enough that I would download a car.

My self hosted projects have someone to appreciate them - me.

Marketing means bothering people. Two of the raspberry pi’s I own are dedicated to fighting unsolicited marketing. Marketing is anathema to me.

Aww, cry harder.

I started using Linux when it was Redhat, in the 1990s, and it came on a bunch of CDs.

And I use WSL in addition to Debian, Raspbian, and Ubuntu.

Knock this tribal bullshit off.

Turn the fucking PSU off, dipshits. Perfectly safe to do while hibernated, and you’re now in complete control of when it powers on.
