    What? I really thought Chrome on Android supports extentions. I’ve been using Kiwi browser, which is based on Chrome, for a couple of years and it’s had extention support all the time…

    I want to get away from any Chrome based browser, but for android I really can’t stand anything other than Kiwi. I’ve tried all non-chrome based browsers and they all feel like shit to use. Though I’ve recently had issues with Kiwi not playing nice with websites in my country , Sweden, and the ID verification app used for many things here and the only browser I’ve found where it always works is Ecosia. That’s weird since it’s based on Firefox but no other Android based Firefox browsers play well with the ID thing either, not Firefox itself, Fennec, IronFox etc. only Ecosia… But the Ecosia version is very barebones and I’d never use it as my main browser.




  • Not rare with boomer LGBTQ+ people here in Sweden, I know several and had many around as neighbours etc. throughout my whole life. One of the people who checks your ID and stuff when you vote in my area is trans (mtf) and has been doing that for 30+ years and it’s nothing odd for the vast majority who meet her, I think she’s in her 80s now. Was always curious and liked her when I was a kid and went there with my parents. Still like her of course, and it’s always so nice to see her still doing that.




  • There are several games who we’re just “this looks like reality” when they released who have aged well too. Half-life 2 (even without the updates) being the first one I think of, but I also think the first Far Cry and Crysis look amazing even now. Good design will age well no matter, the only thing that goes away is the immediate excitement of how impressively real it looks for the ones that went for that, but they still stir something inside people who experience them for the first time decades later.

    Live in an apartment: you don’t have to think about it.

    Though I can’t say how it works everywhere, but here in Sweden all apartment buildings have trash rooms or separate “houses” with bins for everything (food waste, plastics, metal, glass etc). And many have areas of those rooms, or separate rooms, for leaving stuff that isn’t broken so others can take what’s there. About half my furniture, electronics and other random stuff are from those. I often check mine and the one where my mom lives and have a friend group chat for sharing what we find and don’t want ourselves. It’s also pretty common to collect stuff there and transport it to places where it’s given to people in need, stuff like clothing, entertainment (books, board games, dvds etc.), kitchen ware and so on.


  • My only worry is the ergonomics of it. They had to cram so much that it looks like the sticks and buttons are too far up while the track pads are too far down. I haven’t used a steam deck, but it does look more comfortable than this controller does. I hope it doesn’t end up with that feeling of nothing being in a really comfortable place (except the triggers and bumpers).












  • Between kind and polite I’d always choose kind. Actually helping is much better than sugar coating every interaction with nothing to back that up. Empty politeness is just disgusting IMO, either help and it’s your choice to be nice about it or not. But if you’re gonna pretend to be all friendly and nice and then not ever go beyond that you can go fuck yourself.
