Apple vs the “free market”
Easy solution, just delete the Patreon app from your phone. There’s really no need for it anyway, just use the website.

What's with all the NordVPN hate?
I think the reason you stated is probably the main reason for most of the hate. I’ve been a Nord user for years and have no complaints. However, I am currently considering switching to Firefox VPN because I want to financially support Firefox development and that’s one of the best ways to do it.

A Third of North America’s Birds Have Vanished
Cats, both domestic and feral kill between 500 million and 4 billion per year. More people need to keep bells on their cats if they let them outdoors to give birds a chance.

Download Calibre on your computer and install the KoboTouchExtended plugin. It will allow you to upload optimized epub files to your kobo which adds some extra features and faster page turns. I live my Kobo, welcome to the family. 😄

Shutting down Artifact
Been using it since before public release. I loved the news reader mode. It was so clean and simple. The news curation algo is solid. I will miss Atifact.

What did you install it on and with instructions did you use? I installed it on my Synology NAS, which took about 30 minutes using this guide. I was honestly impressed with how easy it was to install. https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-lemmy-on-your-synology-nas/

Plex lays off more than 20 percent of its staff
Plex is amazing. I got a lifetime sub 12 years ago and have no regrets. Hoping they can line up some good revenue streams and keep the great development going! I also use Jellyfin, for my my questionable content. 😄

Funny what happens when companies are driven by ego and the almighty dollar.

I love my Synology NAS. It’s the DS920+. I’ve had it for a couple years. I upgraded the memory to 8 GB and use Portainer for a docket UI. I have 24 containers running on my NAS now, including sab, radarr, sonarr, deluge, joplin, piped/hyperpipe, youtubedl, jellyfin, pihole, and lemmy. 8gb of memory and about 45% used. Plex also runs as a native DSM package.

I made a Satan Bless America piece, inspired by a 'god Bless America' flag I saw. Color variants + HQ inside!
Very nice, thank you.

What are your best tips for falling asleep?
My go to is counting backwards from 100. I typically time the counting with my breathing, and I try to slow my breathing. Most nights I’m usually out by the time I hit 80. If you find your mind wandering, try to bring your thoughts back to your Breathing. I started doing this after I had been meditating for a while, so it felt fairly natural. If you’re new to meditation, do some basic meditation training to get the idea. Most meditation trainings start with learning how to focus on your breathing.

What games have you put the most hours into?
Reply in thread
Definitely WoW for me back in the day too, in the 400 day range across my main and alts. These days No Man’s Sky in the 400 hour category. Things change when you become a parent, but I still try to find time to play games.
