I came across GOG just the other day. Looks great!

I like the way you think!

What non-Steam games do you play? (feddit.org)
 

I'd like to get back into playing video games, but I don't want to have to sign up for an online service like Steam or Ubisoft Connect.

I love technical sandbox games like Scrap Mechanic, especially if they have a "creative mode" that allows me to just make stuff.

Does anyone else get confused and click the wrong thing when people post screenshots from Reddit? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I may or may not have posted this in a fit of rage after doing so.

Or do I just have the brain of a pigeon?

Men of Lemmy, how old were you when you found out that bra cup sizes are not standardized in the slightest? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Well, today years old. Thanks.

What are ways to end a web surfing addiction? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I’m not sure how applicable this advice is, but I had a similar problem with short form content. I would scroll for hours and hours everyday and just felt really unproductive. So, to fix it, I deleted Instagram and got Lemmy! Instead of using software with an abundance of short form content, I forced myself to use software that has limited long form content. By intentionally putting limitations on myself, I was able to correct my behavior. However, I didn’t completely go cold turkey; I allowed myself to consume long form content that I viewed as more “intellectual,” “mature,” or worth my time.

If I were in your situation, I would need something to add some resistance into the process of opening Reddit. For me, that resistance was deleting an app so I had to go out of my way to reinstall it. For you, maybe you could automatically delete Reddit cookies so you have to log in every time? Maybe add parental controls to your router to block it? And as an alternative, maybe block political communities on Lemmy and browse that? Maybe read articles or the news instead?

What's the most "set and forget" Linux distro that's still flexible these days? in c/linux@programming.dev

Fedora, Mint, or Pop. Hell, give BSD a try!

Don't go. And if your son doesn't know why you two divorced, tell him.

DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Ekoru, or something else? (feddit.org)
 

I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for years now but am becoming increasingly interested in Ecosia and Ekoru for their environmentalist efforts. I’ve read the privacy policies for both, and it seems they both share user data with Bing. However, if I use a VPN, set my user data to something generic like Chrome on Windows, and whitelist the search engine on my adblocker, I should be able to support them by viewing ads without being tracked by Microsoft. Is that worth it, or do you have another recommendation?

Running, hopefully.

With all the articles about Microsoft/Windows integrating AI into "x" software and "y" software, do I need to do more to disable all AI existence off my PC? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Or BSD! ;)

What's your favorite kind of tea? (feddit.org)
 

I’m an earl grey with honey man, but if I’m being honest, I’ve never really tried much else.

What Matrix server do you use and why? (feddit.org)
 

Throughout my time using Lemmy, I have learned about the populations of a bunch of different instances and have made accounts on several different ones based on what I find. However, I’m about to make a Matrix account and this is a whole new ball game. Which server should I choose/avoid making my account on? Does it really matter as much as it does on Lemmy?
