  • Honestly, I was one of those people. Eventually, I realized I wasn’t happy because the algorithm found that I responded to a specific narrative and would not stop showing it to me no matter how hard I tried to remove it from my feed. I don’t like the person I become when I think that way, and the algorithm does not care. I had to just uninstall TikTok to be free of that toxic mindset.

    Btw the mindset is incel-flavored misogyny. TikTok nearly re-radicalized me in the worst possible way.










  • You are absolutely right. My problem was trying to install a hex map-making tool for D&D, which only came as a .deb file. So I needed a tool to install that, and the tools I found needed pacman to install them.

    In regards to the decision to purchase a steam deck as opposed to a desktop or laptop, I most likely just wanted an excuse to buy a new toy, justified as a way to replace my aging laptop. I’d love to say it was a younger me making that mistake. No, it was me one year ago. I’m not really a different person now, and would likely do the same thing given the chance.
