Just did that a couple of weeks ago, myself! Bought the cheapest deck when it was on sale just recently. It's kind of ridiculous how much space I have on there: 66 games installed, including chonkers like Baldur's Gate 3 and Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and I've still got like 700 gigs free.

As a dude with very sparse body hair, threads like these always make me feel like I won the genetic lottery.

Nah, it's better than radio because now they can track you and sell your data, including everything they get from your phone, to the highest bidder.

CherryTree is way clunkier, IMO, and has too many irrelevant options that get in the way, particularly around formatting. Obsidian is just markdown, so you don't have the option of spending 15 minutes trying to figure out why code blocks are showing up as dark text on light background even though you're in dark mode, which was my last experience in CherryTree. Looking and cross referencing documents is also super easy; I'm not sure if CherryTree even does that.

VeilidChat is not out yet, but development seems to be moving quickly; it's one to keep an eye on

I'm on Garuda, primarily becausei built a new machine with a (then) bleeding edge GPU, so I needed something rolling release that could make use of it. I tried a few others, including Endeavour and Nobara, but Garuda got me farthest along on its own.

SyncThing is fantastic; I use it for Obsidian files and also for password manager databases.

In general, I'm opposed to the idea. College professors don't work for free, and colleges have to pay them.

Professors don't make up near as much of the bill as the administrators and coaches that pull down 7-figure salaries. There's almost as much bloat in the US University system as in US Healthcare. The answer to both is the same: they should ideally be free. Failing that, it should be illegal for either to be profitable businesses.

Vim is sorcery: you choose mystic incantations from your eldritch knowledge on the fly and suddenly your text is doing exactly what you want.

The question you're responding to isn't about the mobile app for Firefox; it's about the mobile app for Amazon. Apparently lots of other people misread that too, so at least you're in good company.

Nope, they have a ton of stores with lots of different names: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kroger#chains

I suspect that if you see their branded products, you're in one of their stores.

Yikes; I've got one player who would go straight for a Sorcerer so he could just do Sickening Radiance followed by a quickened Wall of Force to just microwave whatever he wanted.
