warframe is only ‘grindy’ if you make it that way. it can totally be a ‘play whenever’ affair if you let it.

now that’s a happy ending.

gotta inflate those ipo so everybody (that they choose) ‘wins’.

you should use firefox and turn off the ‘ai’ crap (one toggle) if you don’t want it. a few more clicks turns off the ‘sponsored’ stuff and ‘telemetry’. if that’s too much for you, then librewolf. zen, perhaps, if you want something a lil’ different.

a couple minutes to click through vivaldi’s settings will turn off all the annoying stuff (similar to firefox, but firefox is quicker to ‘set up’). i’ve never seen it re-enable things like microsoft loves to do.

vivaldi is what i use for a chromium-based browser when i need to check web client ‘compatibility’; and i like that you can customize the toolbar (like you can in firefox)… i move the back-forward stuff to the right side of the address box, and add the separate search box (so suggestions can be enabled in it but off for searches in address bar).

that’s what they’re working towards… removing the extra prime benefits.

but you’ll pay more just for that by the time they’re finished.

it’s a dead market. once the current crop of retirees die off, there won’t be anymore because the rest of us will have to work til we die.

my boss just emails stuff to herself… or just lets it sit in drafts (imap) with the attachment.

i use localsend, wormhole, or similar usually, especially if one or both the devices aren’t “mine”… and if it’s stuff i’m ‘sending’ to a handheld from a pc, i might instead drop them somewhere on one of our dietpi boxes and just use http

the only guy i have doing dictation into a pc (and not into a special system like for medical records) regularly uses dragon on windows using a somewhat expensive microphone, a setup he’s had for probably 30 years. he has one of those old-timey radio host voices, that might help some… but i rarely ever see him having to edit what dragon spits out

why stop there? what about the others?

i believe that’s one of the reasons why they (‘doge’, et al) was raiding all the government systems and stealing all the data… to build such a thing for the chief grifter/wanna be dick-tator and his masters.
