Also, there isn’t even a way to tell if this is real. Sure, it could be, but chances are high someone took a picture of a couple that look kind of “white trash” from who knows where, and just used it to create outrage/superiority-circlejerk-bait.

Glänzie macht sich schon gut für rückkehrschmerzige Kringel-Maimais.

In the same way biofuels are: Technically yes, but still not that great of an idea outside special applications. (One I could imagine would be someone wanting to live completely off grid using filtered frying oil in an old-but-ridiculously-sturdy diesel generator)

Pretty much the exact same story here, only my obsession was more with PC-DOS RPGs like Ultima, Wizardry, Goldbox games, thanks to my father and older siblings influencing me there.

Fun fact: When choosing my starter for the first time, all I knew about Pokémon was: “It’s a game I saw someone play at school once and it kind of looked like an RPG and I love those!” I genuinely just went with what looked cool to me and had no idea there were “actual” dragon Pokémon.

Also +1 on dom@lemmy.ca noting, that Gyarados is the cool dragon in Gen1

As a bullied kid that back then just wanted a cool dragon, I protest that insinuation!

Yeah, remember that German philosopher? Immanuel Kant, whose last name is pronounced “cunt”? Who ended up kicking off the whole process of modern and ultimately postmodern philosophy? Who most likely had autism (non-judgemental) and some really weird habits (mostly non-judgemental, don’t hit your servants, dude) and ideas (somewhat non-judgemental, if you’ve never seen a person with darker skin in your life, don’t write about them).

It was all in the name!

Speaking of philosophers and licking cunts.

That is one really clever idea, that I would love to try out if I had a 3D-Printer! Of course, there is the question of how obnoxious this can get for people around you… (still worth it, even if only to fidget with while alone)

As someone who runs their own Lemmy instance, I do. People tend to join up with large instances, thus making the whole “decentralised” aspect a bit ambivalent and the system more prone to single points of failure…

But I also understand why - while my instance indeed has lots and lots of resources still available - there are many real-life advantages of choosing instances with established mod- and admin teams and an active community.

To quote myself from their comments:

So happy to see this one pop up in my notifications, will probably have to watch it twice in a row at least! I don’t want to be the annoying guy advertising other platforms in the comments, so let me preface that I mean this just exactly as is said, as a compliment: You are one of the few channels that I still return to big platforms like YT for, instead of staying in the Fediverse.

Sounds like an easy way to do unproportional damage to projects with a bit of location spoofing.

Sounds like the app is indeed quite a mess, then, unfortunately :/

Ah, yeah, it’s my own PeerTube instance, using the “share” function gives you a link to the instance you are currently on, not the original one. I use the PeerTube companion add-on to redirect PeerTube links to my own instance automatically (where I can easily interact with my own account), so always linking to the original instance can get a bit finnicky for me - and usually, it shouldn’t be a problem. (Hadn’t come up before)

But now that you bring it up - I gues “usually” might not include app interactions? 🤔

Oh, that would be a good way to use it then. Other than that, the official app isn’t too bad, from my cursory glance.

EDIT: Although, I guess your problem may still happen, if the issue was actually unrelated 🤔

Yeah, I think the official android app is pretty bad, sadly, from all I have heard. Not all the devs fault - I heard they had problems with apple/google app store rules, where they were under extra scrutiny to only allow videos from a “vetted and moderated search index” or something to be allowed on their app. (ludicrous, IMO, that their project of all projects suddenly got scrutinised to that degree, compared to other shit on their stores)

I think there were some decent FOSS app alternatives on F-Droid, but since I myself am 99% on desktop or use just vanilla Firefox mobile, I am sadly not a good person to recommend apps myself.

Well, time for someone who knows how to get back to that boss to take over 😅

Wow, I guess they have now literally reached the earliest one they could do a live action remake of. Good to know that even while things have been heating up globally, the underlying current of absolute boredom in this dystopia is going strong.

What is this about? This?

Haven’t been on reddit and am notoriously often living under a rock when it comes to news outside my personal interests.

I think that is utlimately valid - although I think the other options are all coming with their own problems. You will then have to instead live with the interests of tech corporations (including nonprofits who ultimately need funding) and advertisers collecting your data, whose interests will ultimately not be much less malignant - or small free software projects of a sometimes quite limited scope. The latter, I think, is also a valid niché, but will leave the overall standards of the internet to corporate interests.

Considering how the CEO here acts for Brave, in my opinion, this is not simply about him being an asshole or being politically questionable. To me - everything about him screams “grifter taking advantage of people’s legitimate concerns” - and he has a material interest in your data as well. Brave always felt to me like trying to sell and market privacy instead of proving to me, in their fundamentals, that they actually have my interests in mind.

Which is why I, personally, do not really understand choosing Brave above LibreWolf (or Tor Browse, occasionally), if privacy is your #1 priority.
