  • ivpn.net

  • https://www.ivpn.net/ see "Do you really need a VPN?" - not affiliated with them, but tell me any other VPN-service that is actually this upfront... most are marketing the hell out of their apparent magic effects...

    since we're on the topic: how is it still a thing that vpn services are actively pitching content-block/copyright circumvention? Seems weird to pitch something as shady this loud and publicly? Reminds of how weird I find it that trackers and illegal hosting sites have twitter accounts...

  • steamtinkerlaunch

    Discontinued Linux wrapper tool for use with the Steam client for custom launch options and 3rd party programs [Moved to: https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch] (by frostworx)

  • I play video games. Things have actually changed a heck of a lot in the last couple of years and seem to be accelerating thanks to the Steam Deck. 90% of the games I care about now work fine in Linux, sometimes with a little massaging (there are also now many more tools and forum posts to help with this). Modding certain things is occasionally the biggest impediment but that too is getting easier thanks to stuff like https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch , which if you use the Flatpak Steam can be installed via the app installer right alongside it.

  • bromite

    Bromite is a Chromium fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancements; take back your browser!

  • I personally use Bromite: https://www.bromite.org/

    From my (anecdotal) experience, Bromite is faster than Firefox on my phone, but your mileage may vary.

    I was originally using Firefox due to its uBlock Origin support, but Bromite has ad-blocking built-in (unfortunately it's not quite up to par with uBO but it works well enough).

    I would suggest that you try both and see which one you prefer.
