I’d make a Biden old joke here but my heart just isn’t in it.

You could try wearing it low/loose at the base of your neck if your hair is long enough. That might help some.

Seems generous, might be more like 5% reality.

Steam Deck is great, 10/10, would recommend, but you could also just load Linux on your old system and keep using it.

AdBlocking is 100% OK, that part is correct for sure. Ad networks (including Google’s) routinely serve up scams and malware: It is foolish not to use a browser with a fully functional ad blocker at this point (i.e. avoid Chrome, use Firefox with uBlock origin).

As for whether Google approves: Fuck Google! They have been serving up malware and scams in their ads. Their opinion should be irrelevant if you have any interest in protecting yourself, they have repeatedly proven they cannot and should not be trusted.

I tried but Nintendo issued a DMCA takedown

Protip: Install Linux because FUCK MICROSOFT!

Well that’s dystopian as fuck, ads are a legitimate security threat with the amount of malware, scams, and other shady stuff advertisements online frequent contain.

Yup Gaben called it, just look at Steam.

Sounds messy

She’s been stealing your jokes for years to fuel her evening stand up career!

There are better ways to support creators, fuck Google.

Bullshit.

Saying ad blocking hurts them is like saying piracy hurts sales: It’s corporate a lie with no basis on reality.

If you believe it, you bought into that lie.
