Fuck off with locking down accounts that in the end does no effect at all cuz people are gonna find ways to bypass it anyway.

Their methods of “banning” it are… Not effective lmfao😂✌️
A simple dns change of your operating system fixes it for me and I was still able to access both reddit and discord.
Although, I already quit discord as of a few months ago since I’m now on Stoat! :D
This is now your time to try alternatives..

⚠️DISCORD BANNED IN PHILIPPINES⚠️
Due to a government crackdown, Internet providers here in the Philippines have blocked Discord & Reddit from launching, So if you have me on there and I'm not responding, you know why.
If friend's wanna reach me, Please do else where!

With DankMaterialShell, it feels so fresh and unique! :D
Scrolling tiling manager really is a solution to the "claustrophobic" workflow I had with hyprland on laptop screens.

It seems that its working again for me as of today.

FYI: Their own benchmark is bullshit. They use an old version of Firefox to make their own browser to look good.
You could say thats the latest version at the time they tested, however, the version of chrome and brave they used here is from July 2026, while firefox 146.0.1 is from December 2025…

Welp, its time to distrohop again on my laptop.
After wiping my Debian install for Void Linux, This one impressed me. Seriously, out of all distros I tried on my laptop, this one is the fastest! The boot times are quick, it uses less memory, and its really fast for a laptop that uses a celeron :O

fyi: Depending on how old your hardware is, it might significantly get worse performance, and increases the chance of getting stutters when interacting the shell. Especially when unlocking the lock screen.

When will gnome add the ability to change the frickin touchpad scrolling speed?! Its too high ootb on any distro that uses gnome by default.
At least theres wayland scroll factor that allows me to change it, but the fact I have to go use a 3rd party project just to change that one setting is stupid.

I have just tried Firefox again in form of Firefox Nightly (cuz why not lol) and so far, the performance is FINALLY on par with Thorium I've been daily driving for a while on my laptop!
I'm so glad firefox is getting better and better every day :D

Since I can use my pc again, I have just switched from artix to Debian on my laptop :)
Artix is nice, but I do need a bit of stability and less time of maintaining the system, especially when dealing with software that is made to work with systemd like Waydroid and epson utility program...

This is why alternatives are a better path to go than keep using adobe.
A hearty f*** you to Adobe for the platform-wide licensing system that makes it impossible for me to use both my university license to Acrobat Pro and my personal license to their Creative Suite at the same time.
I remember when buying a software package meant you could use it, no bullshit.
