Heyo! Just another random who’s moving over from centralized social media to the Fediverse. Mastodon wasn’t too bad but I love anything like Reddit!
Games, anime, Japanese, food, and music are my loves. Fanfic beats food tho, I can read for hours instead!
I’ve been living with Fedora Silverblue for the past month or two and loving it, except for the fact there is no true good alternative to ShareX (FOSS but on Windows only) for taking screenshots, video clips, audio clips, and having easily configurable hot key galore. Is Wine + Share X a good/viable alternative? Cause Flameshot is very rudimentary compared to it.
I use ShareX for sentence mining when I consume Japanese media for easy Anki flashcard creation.
Honestly I might get more active in posting, cause some of the content I wanna see is not active/has one person posting on the community. I rarely post on any social media, but the fediverse just sparks something in me to make it a more active place.
Fuck no those things taste like chalk. I’m so lost like were my sister and I the only ones who hated them?
I’ve been consuming BL, Yaoi and m/m since middle school, so I was scientifically engineered and fated to find MRM one day out of desperation. I’m also a cyber student and love looking up privacy shit for the fun of it, so I joined the fediverse. I used to be on there a lot but now I frequent AO3 more.
I felt like I was in on some crazy secret when I saw how one of the pirated manga (Tadaima Okaeri, the ABO one…) got an anime last year. Felt surreal knowing some of that stuff is actually getting published 😅
I forgot not all clients do this and thought it was an anti-joke or something for a honest second.
I’m in a beginner Python class and was getting my ass kicked by a lab last week, and although I hate them with all my heart, I tried to use a chatbot to see if it was worthwhile since my friend who’s been doing Java for about 3 years and her classmate frequently seem to use it.
That shit was so unhelpful, as it gave me stuff that was definitely way above the level we’re currently at, and even then my teacher would’ve known it wasn’t my code based on how it was written. In the end I just asked my teacher for help on the first part of the assignment, and when I struggled in the second I actually took the time to go through my code step by step to see where it was going wrong, and that shit was more satisfying in the end.
It just makes me think of those dumbasses who used Google Translate for Spanish class and would use a verb tense we’ve absolutely never learned in class cause they’re too dumb to even cheat right.
Wow I just emailed MyReadingManga asking them to delete my account cause I didn’t need the email anymore and I couldn’t change it, and now I see this. Wonder if they’re gonna get hit with the ban. RIP, hopefully they do the conversion to threadiverse to save the comments since they are a WordPress site.
Damn…
I’m Gen Z and I feel like I’d still understand the article analogy, but when I think about my gen-alpha cousins maybe they would need the TikTok analogy…
Well, I feel a decent amount of people knew it was selling their data, and just used it anyway thinking they’d get a discount from that sold data. Unfortunate but the modern reality we live in, and hey, nobody’s perfect as we’re all probably using a service or two that it’s totally bad for you (especially games)
But straight up stealing money from the YouTubers who thought they were getting sponsorship money? Now that shits crazy, and sounds illegal from the start. I mean how did they plan to respond to this once they were found out? Call me a fool but I wouldn’t expect a company to literally steal from their advisers/promoters.
This artist is named Gigi D.G. apparently, but their webcomic is called Hiimdaisy, and they did a silly Persona 4 webcomic years ago that people like me still quote to this day. It got a comic dub on Youtube by a channel named Sapphire. I can immediately tell by the artstyle that it’s them.
They have a TV Tropes page.
I’ve never seen Hiimdaisy art besides the P4 comic that never got finished, wow.
Interesting, I do use Freetube on laptop but it’s been finicky about when it wants to work lately. I figured it was more of YT blocking bs.
I tried Newpipe for Android and it wouldn’t work, so I went to the fork PipePipe which does work better, but at some point I had to login so it could use my API because YT blocked that too. Plus PipePipe can scan NicoNico videos and Bilibili videos.
How good is Freetube on android?
I mean yeah, it’s still pretty much in beta rn.
Not ur fault or anything but I’m a little tired of the people who keep questioning loops and pixelfed on being open source and federated. Like, it’s coming/already happened bro, just chill.
People keep being like “Is Pixelfed FOSS yet?” When there’s literally several 3rd party apps available for the service already (I use Pixelix). Loops app is in beta on Android and iOS, it’ll be open source when it’s not absolute dogwater to run (ngl the UI scroll is painful).
But like it just got funding and new members last week, it will be fully FOSS soon enough…
I’m young and even this has me gagging. Our Switch games definitely don’t look like that, although I do feel box art and blurbs on the back used to entice me more, but maybe that’s just because I’m not a kid anymore. But yeah this is fucking horrendous to look at 🤢
Do android system apps count as bloatware? Cause on GrapheneOS you quite literally start out with the bare minimum on a fresh install.
I haven’t done too much in terms of messing around with system apps besides allowing/denying some permissions with Permission Manager X
Been using YT music Revanced since summer and it’s great. No ads and being able to have my phone off is heaven.
I really don’t get why Spotify people hate YT music and get so elitist about it, it literally has every song to ever exist; if it’s on YouTube, it’s on YT Music. I especially love it cause videogame OSTs are on there and frequently I see people crying “why isn’t it on Spotify?”
Okay, thanks. I noticed that minimalistic theme seemed to be a trend with the FOSS launchers, shame they’re so text based. Maybe it’s a sign I need to clean up my home screen lol.
Maybe I should just stick with what I have anyway, no need to clutter my phone 😅
Got any good FOSS/F-droid recommendations? I’m on GrapheneOS and used the launcher it came with (literally just launcher) but I’m thinking I might want something a little more “cuter/aesthetic” that can use icon packs. I do like widgets and apps on my screen, so I don’t like search/text-only launchers.
Yup, me and my sister did occasional Pokemon battles/trading and Mario Kart races with each other using the Download Play or whatever it was called. I think even 3DS had it, or something similar to that effect. I just wish I had enough friends who actually played Pokemon back then, cause at my elementary school only one friend had a 3DS and played Pokemon. Everyone else was too busy trying to be “cool” and play GTA and CoD 😮💨
This is why I get so fucking mad at the tradwife Tiktok people, who go “Oh feminists are forcing you to go to work, I miss the good old days!”
Like no you fucking don’t, in the “good old days” since the industrial revolution anyone who wasn’t rich had to work their ass off in shit conditions, including women and children. These people never read The Jungle (that shit was horrifying in middle school, and I only read an excerpt), or saw the pictures of coal kids, or the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire back in 1911 that killed 100+ women and girls.
You get to pose for the camera with a full face of makeup and hold your soccer team of kids because your husband is rich and thinks you’re hot. Full stop.
