The stay logged on and trust this system actions are probably controlled by a browser cookie, so won’t work if you don’t allow cookies from that site.

In my experience, they are. In my bowser, I have to explicitly allow the saving of site data if I hope to be able to keep myself logged in. For me, this is fine; I only want to stay logged in on a handful of sites anyway so the tradeoff between adding an exception for some sites vs. allowing every single site I visit to be able to save some piece of data doing god-knows-what (likely helping Facebook and the like track where it is I visit) on my machine is worth it.

I gotta give that another try. I played it for a bit back when I had Game Pass, but it never really clicked for me

I put-off picking up and playing Fields of Mistria, and I’m sorry I did. I’ve invested a lot of time in it recently and I love it. I recently picked up and started playing News Tower, and it’s been pretty addictive, too (sorry Fields!)

When I’m away from my PC, the last month it’s been the original Octopath Traveler on my Switch 2 (but I can’t justify full-price for the Sw2 upgrade.)

Part of me hopes so, part of me does not.

On the one hand, I’m finding that the turnover for new posts doesn’t seem to be as great as on Reddit; once I go through my digest here: that’s it. Of course, with an influx of new people come the riffraff.

Definitely toyed with doing the same when I joined

More and more, I’m finding that it isn’t enough to just give one of my alias addresses. I’ll make my account and then immediately end up locked out unless I give them my phone number (looking at you, Discord) or upload my ID/take some live selfies (looking at you, Slowly), or sometimes both (looking at you, LinkedIn).

I miss the days when I could just browse and use the internet anonymously

I cannot stand how they operate over there. I currently have six different Workday accounts, for six different companies. With each, I’ve had to upload my resume and re-create my profile, filling in my experience, education, etc… because their parser blows.
