Stop using Opera Browser and Opera GX
  • Sorry for the extremely late reply. But anyways, I use Auto Tab Discard - Frees up ram with unused tabs

    Sideberry - a vertical option to organize and search tabs with a overwhelming plethora of options

    Tab Session Manager - To make sure I don't lose my tabs if my browser crashes

    Tab Stash - to hide away bundles of tabs so I can sort through them later

    Window Titler - To name my different windows I have open in order to keep things organized on my windows toolbar. I use the old school windows toolbar layout which has text beside the icon. I like it this way instead of going through little popup windows to sort through my shit.

  • What is the earliest thing that you can remember seeing or hearing online?
  • This is about all I can remember for my first online experience. Just remember opening AOL and not exactly knowing what else to do except click around random links, looking at whatever websites I came across, all with that classic 90s basic HTML look.

  • Stop using Opera Browser and Opera GX
  • Every time I have tried a different browser than Firefox I could never get it set up quite right. I never strayed from Firefox only because of the openness of the add-ons and customization, even when Firefox was miles behind when it came to browsing speed in the early 2010s as Chrome was popping off.

    Anyone who tells me Chrome is better hasn't seen my multitude of tab add-ons which are the only thing that hold my online life together.

    Plus, I recall google limiting adblockers and such on Chrome at a certain point. Firefox would never

  • Anyone else notice the fediverse is quite close knit?
  • The golden days of IRC were the best. Every day I use the current internet, I miss the way of the old internet. Back when everything was just run by a bunch of nerds doing whatever they wanted, as opposed to everyone being shut out by the big names now, looking to control everything and maximise profit.

  • That Portal 64 demake we liked so much has been kiboshed by Valve: 'They have asked me to take the project down,' creator says
  • Valve has stated that they are okay with people making mods using their property, as long as they either openly state that they are not Valve, and do not use Valves IP in their names unless they ask for permission by Valve, which they will give in many cases. They are more strict when it comes to commercial games using their IP, of course. I think in the case of Portal 64 though, it definitely has to do with Nintendo's ridiculously over the top protection of their copyrights.

  • It’s time to ban ‘right-on-red’
  • I think the article means that a pedestrian is trying to cross in front of the turning car where the pedestrian does have right of way, so perpendicular to the turning car and parallel with the traffic which has the green light and walk signal.

  • Covid: It's That Bad
  • As someone with long covid, it is fucking hell. The extreme fatigue, muscle soreness, lengthened healing times of wounds or new sicknesses or physical exertion have made life hardly bearable. I just straight up don't have the energy or mental capacity to do anything I used to love and enjoy.

    It's endlessly depressing, even though I know I am keeping myself out of clinical depression after learning how to deal with depressive issues more proactively now.

    I wish I just wore an n95 whenever I was around people now, but I know I never would have done so unless I knew how truly awful long covid is.

  • What part of a game you enjoy replaying do you dislike replaying?
  • I second this. I thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of Xen in Black Mesa. I really feel like they really did justice to what the original devs could have accomplished if they had more time.

    I haven't been so fully engrossed in a game like that since... Well Half Life Alyx I guess. Truly a great feeling.

  • Canada's landlords now asking a record-breaking average of $2,078 per month: rental report
  • Calgary is one of the best places in North America .. for landlords. Tenants have basically zero protections here. Every time my landlord does something shitty and shady I look up the law and landlords always have the upper hand.

    All I got was a letter stating that as per my lease agreement, my lease is over and I would have to move out by the end of the month (which was a little over 2 weeks away) or reply to the letter to accept the $1800 (previously $1200) rental price.

    Example: Have bedbugs? It's your landlords responsibility to get rid of them. If your landlord doesn't? You can move out. That's what the law states, even though it states it's your landlords responsibility to get rid of them.

  • What are some video games that made you a better gamer?
  • I second Rocket League. It's hard to find other competitive games that scratch the itch now though. I used to be an FPS guy but the challenge they have just makes me wish I was splaying rocket league

  • Canada's landlords now asking a record-breaking average of $2,078 per month: rental report
  • It's simple! For me I either have to pay that much, be homeless, move to a tiny shitty city with no work in my field, or spend a year trying to find a decent place that isn't totally unaffordable while thousands of competing potential tenants do the same to renters with vacancies. So fun!

    My landlord upped my monthly rent $600 bucks this year because he's a cunt and knows I have no fucking choice except to pay him.
