I'm not changing mine until (1) after the 30th, (2) game is back on for purchase in restricted countries, and (3) Sony doesn't backpedal yet again before then.
Look, I honestly get the sentiment and AH deserves the praise for sure, but at this point I honestly can't confidently say I trust Sony to not just be doing all this for positive PR.

What it's like to be a developer in 2024
I get quite a bit of flak from my colleagues for paying for search, but I kid you not, I don't regret splurging on a Kagi subscription at all. It's personally less stressful for me, having to wade through less cruft, and I think I even work significantly faster because of how I use it.
It's sad when you think about it. Search was such a good experience in the past.

I'm admittedly not as knowledgeable about it as I'd like, but I also have a similar system. A primary encrypted Linux partition wuth a dualboot into Windows for times I absolutely need to go into it (which admittedly has been coming up less and less).
What I tell myself is that, sure, in the best case that everything works as I'd like, the rootkit can never bleed into the Linux side of stuff, and I'm really only ever at risk when I'm actively on the Windows, and even then if Riot remains a good citizen, nothing will happen. It's an (increasingly) small window of vulnerability.
Thing is, I've seen complete systems go down because of "small windows of vulnerabilities" before. Catastrophic failures, more times than I'd have liked. Who knows, maybe someday someone manages to exploit that window and use it to, for example, piggyback into your home network and access your devices. I dunno, call me paranoid.
In my head, installing something like a kernel anticheat is really not worth it. It's a huge over reach of privilege for so little gain for the user. And frankly, I don't trust Riot to be a good citizen with that much privilege on my machine.

What do you just not give a single fuck about that so many people try to make you give a shit about?
Whatever's the current "big" issue in showbiz. I really couldn't care less that ABC was photographed with DEF in GHI, possibly hinting a relationship collapse with JKL, or whatever it was that people are harping about with other people's lives.

What is the most unhinged conspiracy theory?
I know it pales in comparison to most others here, but that Star Wars theory about Jar Jar Binks being the ultimate Sith mastermind instantly popped into my head.

What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?
I've set up my Spotify to tell Last.fm what songs I listen to (aka scrobble). Over time, Last.fm gets a pretty good idea of what songs you like, so when I wanna discover new songs, I go to Last.fm, ask it to play me a mix, and direct it to play the songs through my Spotify. I find that its recommendations are much better than what I get from using Spotify alone.

My guess would be because of the physics sandbox + lego builders aspect of it.

UH OH!
I've recently started paying for unlimited searches over on Kagi, and I'm very happy with the results so far. I'd gladly pay if it meant less search cruft and higher result quality, but sadly Google's just been going downhill for quite a while now.

The public library I go to has tons of communal spaces, as well as a makerspace. I love it!

Went down to Bonbeach for the anniversary farmer's market, but spent too much time getting out of bed it seems. Literally ran out of food on three stalls while I was in queue, with one cutting off right in front of me. 😅

Cheers, I'm using this as a jump off point for a weekend project maybe. Would anything change if I was interested in casting content too?

I actually thought the organization stuff is pretty good, coming from keepassxc myself. The way we have it set up is that each of the members of our family all have VW accounts, and we have a common organization shared among us for stuff we all use (e.g. home devices). It's all in one installation, so it's pretty convenient. I don't think I can do the same as easily with keepass.
That being said, keepass is a really solid piece of software. I'd recommend it myself.

I moved to Proton from Gmail + friends, and I don't regret it one bit. I've tried degoogling, and while that hasn't always been successful, email and calendar have been two of the absolute simplest things to leave behind in Google.
One (quite unknown) perk you get with certain Proton plans is you also get access to SimpleLogin, which is an email proxy service. It's great if you set it up on one of your domains, so you can create not just unique passwords but also unique email addresses for accounts you create online.

Dang. This is almost my list as well, and the ones that are different I can totally see why they could be on someone else's list. I like your taste in games.
