I work out six days a week, haha.

Once you get to a point where it's like brushing your teeth, it's easy.

That's fine. Do what you like.

I think that, if you're going to pretend to know what you're talking about, you should know what you're talking about.

I think it's a good thing that a person as to willingly opt-in to data collection.

It's really that simple.

False.

They sold data from Brave search, which you don't have to use. (and I don't.)

Also, the crypto thing is also opt-in. You don't have to use it either.

It works better than Firefox, especially if your aim is blocking ads.

Brave's native adblock works better than anything else I've tried.

Give Brave a look, folks.

I switched to Linux this week. I highly recommend it.

It's friday.

I made it to the gym and feel glorious. I'm on Day 4 of being a primary Linux user and it feels nice to know that I'm digitally flipping Microsoft the bird.

They didn't miss it. They just report on what they're told to by their owners.

Do what's best for you. I found burning it to be very empowering.

@FlashMobOfOne@beehaw.org avatar

It was a ritual I made up myself. Since you baptize by water, I debaptized by fire.

I just set up a little tailgate grill, made a small fire, burned my Bible and sprinkled a few drops of my blood onto it. It was a fairly quick thing but very cathartic, as it came on the heels of two years of my brain railing against my programming and I had many, many nightmares about demons and spiritual warfare.

I de-converted (and de-baptized myself) from Christianity when I was nineteen.

Once I was outside of my parents' bubble, it was easier to take a look around and realize that God isn't real, and the only reason I was ever a Christian is that I was born and programmed to be that way. I now see my life as finite which makes me value my time and mental well-being much more than I did before.

That is exceedingly helpful. Thank you.

I'm tentatively planning to ditch Windows completely in a few months. I just want to use Linux daily for a while until I'm comfortable with it and certain I'm good to go on the gaming side.

I should add that I kept Windows as well, due to my extensive video game library. You can have both and just use Linux for most things in order to upgrade your security and efficiency, and just switch to your Windows boot in order to play games that aren't on Linux.

On the distro I chose, Linux Mint, Steam is easily available via the Software Manager, and roughly half of my games are Steam-compatible out of the box. Steam actually has a toggle in your game library that indicates your games that are Linux-compatible. For those that aren't, there's https://www.protondb.com/, where you can check the database to see if particular games are compatible and get installation tips to help with compatibility.

Installation was very easy with info available on Youtube and the Linux Mint website.

All it cost me was $7 for a USB drive in order to create the ISO file.
