That’s an actual nightmare

And piracy sites.

Syncthing (for obsidian notes, mostly. I know there are FOSS apps that do what obsidian does, but they just don’t feel as good for my purposes).

LibreTorrent

Not that there’s anything wrong with newpipe, just additional information:

Sponsor block is now avaliable on Firefox mobile app. It even works for YouTube videos that are embedded in other sites.

Apparently it bankrupted him, too

Gin? Genetics? Giant?

Do you pronounce Origin like Oregon?

I personally find arguing pronunciation as entirely pointless when there are many words in English that get pronounced different based on a multitude of factors.

People also like to argue it’s an acronym, but do you pronounce NASA the same as you pronounce the first letter of each word of National Aeronautics and Space Administration?

Honestly? Just say it how it makes sense to you.

I mean

The Bush family rigged W’s election against AI Gore. Why did that get swept under the rug?

I have multiple one way syncs set up, I’ve never had any issues.

I think what Ubisoft and Microsoft don’t get is that SOME users are okay with subscriptions, but that’s a small bit compared to people who don’t.

Just cater to the niche that do want it and quit thinking you can make the whole market a subscription service.

I think most mammals have the same general wants an tendencies, we just happen to be mammals with societal baggage

My argument against this is that at least I own a license to the game rather than just a subscription. Steam still has and updates games that were made unpurchasable a decade ago. Hell, people still play rocket league on steam.

This is a separate argument altogether. Theres “own physically” and theres “own a license” to. If you own it physically and your physical media corrupts (which happens often to digital discs) did you own it any more than if you had it on steam? It’s also illegal to make a copy of a console disc, btw.

What the article is talking about is not even obtaining a license for at all and games just being attached to a subscription

I was just talking about that movie a few days ago

It started off alright, I was thinking “damn is this really a Michael Bay movie?”. It seemed like it wanted to ponder on the human condition and maybe do a bit of 1984-esque discussion on human rights, etc. Philosophical stuff that Bay isn’t known for

Then a big green Xbox advertisement, suddenly there are explosions and the people who have never even seen a car or motorcycle are doing high speed chases on the highway, so much action, etc.

It was such a jarring turn of events that it actually felt like the two parts of the films were made by two different people

I find tracking all individuals way more dangerous long term than the effects of unmediated internet use.

Parents should be more involved in children’s digital use.

Does outlawing Marijuana stop minors from accessing it? No, I started smoking young. Does requiring an ID stop minors from drinking alcohol? I’m sure many of you will attest to underage drinking

However, tracking everyone doing everything, tracking whatever they say whatever they look at. That impacts everyone, not just minors.

Personally, I find it no different than how there are multiple websites and multiple forums on the internet. Reddit, stack exchange, other types of forums dedicated to specific topics, etc

You DONT need the “best” source of content, you don’t need to be connected to everyone, you don’t need to have access to all information all the time.

I think it’s one of those things to purposely craft a point of engagement. Now you’ve made a comment about it

You can play it on your phone now days, with mods even

I had a few issues with Boost for Reddit, Rubén responded each time I posted and either helped me solve it or promised a future bug fix

To say he’s active is an understatement.

I bought Boost for Lemmy day one.

I’ve been seeing a lot of morrowind references recently
