Funnily during my college, one of our lecturer is "cool" by adding some funny memes on certain hard part of lecture. Can say it helps for some people to remember as learning can be fun too and to keep everyone relaxed.

But yes if you're trying to meme so hard with 10 years old of meme, and then the audience does not understand them, it does feels awkward for some people, like who does rage comic panel in 2023?

Hmm, pocketable mech keeb? ๐Ÿค”

Pocketable IBM model F keyboard sounds rad for typist (no pun intended).

Consider most recent offering from china does not have Android One option, this statement is true. Few years ago Xiaomi sell several of their line up with Android One variant that strictly only contain Google Apps only.

As long as your phone have snapdragon soc, most likely the community have made custom rom for that model. But if you want something more hardened out of the box like GrapheneOS, you're out of luck.

Sadly for that matter it is more to the legal area.

For identity they can catch you either from email or the payment info. For email you can make one easily, but for payment search a provider that accept virtual (credit) card, or get something that accept crypto wallet.

Yeah, online exposure can point you sooner or later depending how motivated the party that seek you.

Internet is really wide and open if you know direction :)

Even libgen (Library Genesis) still provide IRC as one of option to download ebook from their catalog.

FMHY and Internet Archive is a good entry point if you want to search anything.

I'll explain it in layman's terms...

  • There is always a price (inconvenience) for secure-ness in online world.
  • There's 2 option to host a forum,
    1. You can use service like forum hoster or rent a VPS (so you can setup your own server although not self-hosting).
    2. Self-host yourself (this one a bit tricky if you aren't prepared).
  • Learn some good basic OpSec habit (eg. Never use same password, Never put your personal detail in your active directory especially on your site source document, use 2FA and so on).
  • Learn to spot a phising or malicious link and never to randomly click random link in an email (in times when someone tried to social engineering you).
  • Use reputable service provider if you are not going to self-host yourself.
  • If you happen to self-host, make sure to check your open ports and secure them. Bots always probing any site in the world!
  • For some reason if you're going to run sketchy stuff, never use your real credential. This point may not apply on your region as it depends on your local law.

Maybe in my message seems to focus solely on discord for putting the blame... The problem nowadays is that mostly these "devs" share/upload/host their releases in Discord which means you do use Discord's CDN to host their files. Another common complaint of these practices is that you need to join their server in order to just download relevant files which makes it infuriating if you stumbles across these practices often. For example I joined 8 different discord servers just to download a software/binary/release, why can't just put the release on something like Mediafire, Google Drive, Megaupload or perhaps sourceforge.

I do understand Discord is communication platform but most of time some people are too lazy to manage stuff so what happen is that everything is hosted in single place as such Discord.

I'm pretty sure most of people who mainly use discord as their main social apps probably never touched forum-based internet.

Hosting your own forum is also better as you (the owner of the site) can still retrieve the msgs as long as you still have the access to the host server (so you can back them up in case shutting down, then going to resurfacing later).

Not to mention using discord is already risking yourself because of their shitty policy.

As someone who mostly lurking back in reddit, lemmy sort of forces me to engage (give back) in community. While at first I felt weird, it grow on me to contribute for discussion and hopefully I can start my own post in a community lol.

Such bizzare moment when someone acknowledged megaten series and its fanbase on this kind of forum.

Fallout 1(!) and 2 is still enjoyable due to its turn based and variety of char build. Although may be frustating if you do not understand how the game played.

Meanwhile on Saints Row series, the best are on 1 & 2 (back when they have more grounded story though they have whacky side content).

From skimming a vid from Buffmaister's yt channel, I think it is more like P5R, you can choose whether you're going vanilla route vs the vengeance addition that offer some changes on mid to late game.

All the new changes/addition/information on this release

Also with all previous DLCs included on this release sounds unusual from typical FATLUS shenanigan, I can say I'm going to get one on steam during sale.
