yes, things like Midwest emo are seeing a resurgence, see Origami Angel or Arcadia Grey for instance; or things that blend hyperpop with more pop/punk sensibilities like Dynastic. there's a lot of it out there, it's just not what's mainstream.
yep. I use backblaze B2 with rclone, and just don't worry since it's encrypted (including the file names) before it leaves my server.
find a hobby and join up with folks that do the same locally. join a gym. go to a local pub and watch some sports. I find this far better than social media, however I also live in a (small) city; i don't know how people manage in rural areas.
jq, or if I need to do something wacky a one-off python script.
yeah my vr rig is just a dedicated beat saber machine these days.
the story reveals in Horizon: Zero Dawn. it's hard to say much of anything without spoilers, but that game had me absolutely riveted.
also HL: Alyx had some stunning moments. I haven't been much of a VR fan but that game is fantastic.
I need to figure out how spoilers work in Lemmy haha. hard to talk about.
I think Google Fi works like you describe.
Ah yeah, I feel like there's better selection here, definitely. I think they sold the Volkswagen e-Golf in the US, no? Not great range but it's just a Golf for the most part. Not still manufactured though, would have to look used.
Depends on where you are. In Europe some of the cars that have a shared platform---as in you can get an ICE or EV on the same model---are worth looking at. A bunch of the Stellantis-built stuff, like Peugeot or Vauxhall, are pretty "standard car, but EV". Similarly Renault has some good options.
The OS on the Steam Deck is Arch based, just like Manjaro, so I imagine it'll do games.
I'm a fullstack developer as well, and use Arch as my daily driver, and have for the past 9 years. While I can't speak for Manjaro directly, just the upstream, I have some coworkers that use it without issue. I think it'd be fine for your needs, at least worth trying out. I hear a lot of bleeding edge horror stories thrown around but in that 9 years 95% of problems were of my own doing, and the 5% were easily fixed with a rollback of a package. Out of that, my downtime isn't worth mentioning it's so negligible. I feel my coworkers on macos have more issues with major version upgrades by far.
On Arch-based distros, pkgbuild is a great way to handle custom packages when needed, and the AUR is gives me almost everything I need that isn't in the official repos. It's a great developer environment.
I'm very interested in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed as well, was thinking of trying it out as my next distro on a personal machine to try out something new since I've been on a single distro for so long, but not because I need anything new, just sounds like fun.
they make bad products that are media darlings because it's fashion more than anything. they're treated like consumer advocates but they are one of the absolute worst companies for vendor lock-in, and are absolutely anti-consumer, but will have innumerable articles written about how they're "the best" for any given measure. it drives me nuts how the public perception of them is the complete opposite of what they actually are, and i don't get it.
also their software is bad. all due credit their hardware impressed but it doesn't matter if the software is crap.
and they aren't private: they've got all your data but have somehow convinced everyone that it's fine that they have it because they're somehow better than every other large tech company.
