I immediately understand the vibe and plight this guy was trying to illustrate

Fair enough. Seems to be working, so thanks again!

Giving this a try, thanks. I notice in the comments someone said something about Cloudflare’s ToS being limited to HTML and makes it sound like serving video through the tunnel could mean getting charged. I’m hosting movies on this Jellyfin server, so I guess I should be concerned?

Probably because it’s a nothing sentence. “X is not y, but x is not z either.” No shit brother.

I’ve never used Tutanota but been a Proton Unlimited user for a few years now. I definitely like the mail service, and Drive and VPN are nice but can be slow, especially Drive. Everything else I don’t have much use for, and honestly I cringe when I see the new stuff they’re working on. Not that any of it’s bad, but it feels like they’re in the “can’t just make a good product” camp, constantly trying to add on new stuff instead of focusing on quality. Could have it all wrong, though, I’m just a person, not an analyst.

KDE connect is a must-have on all my devices. I mainly use it for quick file transfers but other plugins occasionally.

I don’t love old memes. They bore me. I see and make plenty of new stuff that makes me laugh, including laughing at consumer culuture. But most of thosr memes are not on Lemmy or Reddit.

Yeah, most people aren’t on social media to see “what their friends are up to,” they’re there for the memes, the culture, the brands (including pop artists), whatever the latest “thing” is. Mastodon doesn’t have any of that, or at least it’s very hard to find.

It can’t be that cancel culture is just the free market in action, right? People not liking what a business does and choosing to buy from someone else is socialism.

Everyone’s made good suggestions, but I wanted to throw out there that I just recently learned Kubuntu actually has been making its own line of custom-made laptops for a while, called Focus. There’s a few different models, and IIRC one or two configurations are below $1000. You’ll definitely save a buck by going with Windows-first options, but if you want to support Linux that’d be one way of doing it.

So what you’re saying is that in the year 2062, every college bro is gonna have a Morbius poster in their dorm room

I’ve had multiple dreams where people from my past messaged me something meaningful, but before i can fully read it, I accidentally scroll past it and spend the rest of the dream frantically trying to find it again.

False, my employer would never also get us breadsticks and dip.
