  • So far my favorites are Phocid (music player, found on F-Droid), and Grayjay (works for multiple video/music services)

  • GrapheneOS came with Google Play Store (mirror).

    Consider me dum, I am on this stuff, but is Aurora Store better than that, privacy-wise?

  • Deleting the app did wonders for me. Well, Reddit deleted the app FOR me (Apollo user), and I refused to install their adware app onto my phone.

    Forced me to only use it on PC, because visiting via phone browser showed like 3 comments on thread, then linked to some other thread, and insisted I install their adware for "a better experience".

    PC I was still browsing and occasionally commenting on old.reddit for a while, with uBlock on high censorship mode. But all my mobile browsing was gone.

  • Making grades meaningless so that everyone advances is doing a disservice to kids' education.

  • ... Suddenly I think I understand why a some things with very specific meanings are getting redefined by younger folks who call you names if you don't accept their new definition.

  • Welp. This one again. One more Loss of The Game!

  • I hope there's not a queue

  • Was actually just thinking about this yesterday. How do non-binary people determine which restroom to use?

    Yes I did do a 30 second search on my phone at work. I'm not clicking on Reddit, and the quick answers of "find a gender-neutral one" and "just hold it" dodge the question of "There's only M/F available and I am about to piss my pants".

  • Welcome to the Fediverse!

    Good to see you found your interests here! One of the most common complaints is the lack of whatever niche someone is looking for. So it sounds like you got lucky!

    I'm another that fled when they killed 3rd party apps, and.lied about devs to demonize them in the process. Never swappedoff of old reddit on my PC, Had been spending half of my reddit time on mobile, refused to install their shitty adware app on my phone.

    Spent less and less time on it on PC, eventually accidentally did something on my browser that disabled the 'reply' button even on old reddit, took it as a sign.

    Old account, same Karma style. No farming, just decent wordsmithing while writing my comments. Enough to know my general comments would be positive, without sacrificing what I wanted to say. (And to know when to go all-out on something unpopular enough that no careful words would stop the downvotes)

    You will find a different culture here. I've certainly gotten dome comments upvoted that I was SURE would go negative. If you notice posts/people that bother you are primarily from one instance, you can block that whole instance from your feed. We even have a lil community specificly for complaining about power-tripping mods at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you feel any here could use some name 'n shame!

  • 69 made me initially wonder how sexual 67 was and why kids were laughing at another inappropriate sex number.

    Learning It's NOT a sex number, and honestly has no meaning at all, puts my non-horny brain firmly on Team 67. It's just a giant innocent in-joke. I love it.

    The ingredients for 42 ftw!

  • It's not as easy for me to spot AI as others, but I do see what looks like an extra finger on the lower hand.

  • Windows 12 reportedly set for release this year as a fully modular, subscription-based, AI-focused OS

    Jump

  • This is good to know. I'm gonna pretend it's true anyways as personal fuel to guarantee I move off of Windows on my next machine. Nothing makes my brain revolt faster than forced subscriptions.

  • Windows 12 reportedly set for release this year as a fully modular, subscription-based, AI-focused OS

    Jump

  • Nope. Not paying a subscription for an OS. My next PC is officially going to be Linux!

    Only reason I haven't yet is I'm lazy and not in the mood to make the huge leap. I can and will mess up the simplest instructions, so I'll be trying to fix my own screw up for a week, whatever I mess up.

    Subscription is too far though. Bye, Windows!

  • Death toll from Iran school bombing reportedly rises to almost 150

  • I hate that it's so on-brand for the US to target a school.

  • Furries are awesome. So much talent, and they use it. Never understood the hate on them.

  • Here in New England we don't talk about rain and shine, we talk about how yesterday was 60f and today it's 17f with getting 3ft of snow.

  • While the in-person protests are awesome for how large they are and I feel they're good for spreading the mood, they themselves are ridiculously easy to ignore.

    A bunch of people screaming on the street for a few hours. Oh no. Whatever will the administration do? How will they ever defeat that? They can just ignore people! /s

    I look at protests as events to reach/inspire people who can actually figure out how to DO something other than ask Fascists to "pwetty pweeese stop :(".

  • I was told last night that there's a bot for Stoat that can kinda "cross-post" between Stoat and Discord.

    Idk if any others have that, but a bridge like that could be real useful for an interim, to move a community to a better platform without needing to cut down a discord community that isn't on board with ALL moving to a new platform overnight.

  • I had a several year streak until Loss got spammed everywhere.

    Since people want you to see Loss, my brain links to "You lost The Game" thanks to the similarity between the words loss/lost.

    So most of the time I don't lose The Game from being mentioned itself, but I Loss The Game because of that other dumb meme.
