I’m on 3 active forums and 2 lemmies and 2 mastos and I just leave myself logged in. It’s nothing like that. Somehow that’s still a better user experience than discord

Ashamed that my country abstained here

I know I shouldn’t have even started, but I did, quitting smoking and drinking. It was really, really hard.

I just don’t have time to invest in learning a new operating system.

That’s fair. I got turned on to Linux in college so this is how I feel when confronted with Windows or Mac devices.

That’s where those games are now. The good games.
