Thanks for the answer! I run Windows, iOS and Linux across multiple devices, and sync is definitely needed for me as well. I'll look into Waterfox!

What functionality would I lose/gain if I switch from Firefox to Librewolf? I'm admittedly an amateur in the privacy space, and I've been pretty content with Firefox + Ublock and container tabs for different profiles, but I consistently get the issue that my browser fingerprint is pretty unique, and I have no idea how to or even if I can anonymize that anymore.

Literally the event that accelerated the bullshit "Woke Video Games" pushback we see mouth breathers spewing in gaming spaces today. I believe this is what spawned r/KotakuInAction and the whole "It's About Ethics™️ in Gaming Journalism" as well, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

These exact talking points and methods were then taken up by the alt-right to propel the culture war into the mainstream, and welcome to 2024.

I unsubscribed to all the gaming subs around gamergate, holy shit everything went downhill so quickly and never really recovered. We're seeing the effects of it to this day.

I refused to participate in gaming communities online for a long time after that, only looked at my RSS feeds for news/official announcements. The migration to Lemmy last year has me participating in them a bit more again, as long as I don't tell anyone I'm playing a Nintendo game, lol.

Bruh the Ellen Pao hate was fucking insane. People like to pretend that Reddit got worse post-Trump or gamergate, but lbr the deplorable behaviour was always there, it just wasn't "political" yet.

Dude, Andre Braugher was so talented. I saw him at a performance of Hamlet at Central Park for a school trip and I don't think anyone has ever seen primary school kids enraptured by Shakespeare like that. Even my teacher was surprised.

Man, I was really hoping to do my Master's at U of T, but at this point it seems like it's be harder to find somewhere to live than get accepted into a top program.

Leave Jimmy alone 😭 he's suffered enough from the American political complex.

The Rideau freezes over later and for less time than ever nowadays.

Edit I misread that, I thought you had a Zenbook not the AMD desktop lol 🙈

That's actually insane because mine is also an Asus Zenbook. It's the UX501 that I got at a liquidation sale, and I refuse to give this thing up because they really don't make them like this anymore.

I'll probably eventually move onto a Framework once this thing gives up the ghost, but I'm hoping for at least a few more years of use.

Me, who still daily drives an Intel Skylake laptop from 2015: 🤡

The boot time isn't actually that bad, it's like 6 seconds with Win10 and an SSD.
