Honestly, a PC monitor and a separate device connected to it is probably much less bullshit.

Pihole is nice to have regardless of TVs.

Commercial displays are usually very overpriced, although if you can get a good deal that could be nice.

Not sure I’d “trust” any such menu.

Having grown my hair down to my belly button over the last years…
The “hair dips into your toast” phase is annoying af.

Hair ties, hair clips, bobby pins, hats, etc.
A nice hat when you’re going outside on a windy day helps a lot imho.
Honestly, there’s a period when your hair is long enough to be annoying but not long enough to tie back and it’s, well, annoying.
Good news is when it reaches just about your chin, you’ll be able to tie it back when it annoys you and it’s much less fuss from that point on.
Once it’s even longer than that it will end on your chest and it’s not in the way as much.

Pre-emptively cut the forked ends now and then.
It seems counter productive to progress, but that’s still faster than breaking knots of tangled hair.

Patience.

A random dude with long hair.
Edit: Oh and if you get yourself some hair ties, get those without the metal bit otherwise they break so much hair.

Hiking, painting, 3d printing, board games, gardening.
Collecting and restoring knives.

Whatever you feel like doing…
But find something that’s different enough than your future job.
I mean… I troubleshoot network stuff for a living and coming home and doing puzzles would absolutely suck, as it’s the same kind of stimuli (finding patterns).
Every job is different, and I burn out of different hobbies depending on what job I’m doing.

NFTs: Block chain based money laundering.
But I guess BCBML didn’t sound as good.

For all the quirks, the engine does a really good job at environmental story stuff.
Killed a raider last week that got stuck bent over on a fence?
Yup, still there.
Send a dude on a supply run to another settlement? Hell yea, they’re actually walking all the way there.
I’d give people with specific jobs a uniform, kind of.
Meanwhile, most games despawn dead enemies while you’re still actively looking at them.

It’s not the best Fallout but it’s a good sandbox.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
But also sell your data.

Unrelated noob question, on my end I see your full user: @Barbarian@sh.itjust.works We’re on different instances, fine.
But there’s other people from sh.itjust.works in this thread and it only shows the first half of their handle, like Jakylla and Bernie Ecclestoned.

My guess is they have a display name setup and you don’t?

Second of all, the whole “build my personality to fit in” is exactly backwards.

Yea, I feel like the fediverse is what we make of it. Trying to fake it for a social net sounds sad.
If OP likes emoji, emoji away 🚀🌕
I think your take is a good one even outside of social media.
Be yourself! (Assuming you’re not a serial killer I guess)

Nice analogy thanks. Sure, everyone has email, but most don’t engage with it much and it doesn’t really have communities.
Well, to think of it, mailing lists of old would be similar to communities.

7 days is a lot.
Try and stay hydrated, don’t pass out, get well.

After the self induced constipation, they’ll need the poop knife for sure.

Didn’t they buy alien blue before that?
It was the most popular, before Apollo even existed I think.
They bought that, turned it to shit despite it starting from a beloved, yet now unrecognizable mess. Even if they bought Apollo, RIF, Relay, Sync and Baconreader tomorrow, their goal with the site conflicts with what people enjoy about using it and anything they do will be shittier and shittier.
People would always flock to another community focused app as long as that’s a possibility, so they decided to nuke the whole concept.

Yea, couch co-op is unfortunately often an afterthought even though it’s a great way to introduce people to the hobby.
