Archon of the Valley

Oh no, looks like I ruffled the feathers of a mod. This crap right here is exactly why I despise Reddit and it seems Lemmy ain’t any better. Every day, I grow more convinced that I might just need to ditch Lemmy entirely.

Sure, you can’t force someone to be gay, which is why I have no idea why the LGBT activists insist on forcing their worldview on everyone.

Nope, just sick of y’all pushing it on everyone, insisting we agree with your worldview, and making up goofy terms like “heteronormative” to make it sound philosophical.

Removed by mod

Sure, I don’t disagree, it shouldn’t be a requirement but because the app is good and makes the process easy, I don’t have a problem with it.

I do agree but Steam’s app isn’t bad. It’s great if you use Steam’s social features and it makes secure login a total breeze.

This hate for 2FA is bizarre to me. Sure, it’s not as convenient but in this day and age, with all the threats out there, there’s no real excuse for not using it.

Zorin OS has a lite version, you could test that and see if it works. Besides, it’s one of the best distros for people used to Windows so it wouldn’t require much work to help people to figure out how to use it.

The thing is, using a Chromium-based browser isn’t contributing to their monopoly unless Google holds sway over the fork. Brave, Vivaldi, those two are generally fine and stand against what Google has been up to.

Video player? Absolutely. However, it leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to music. I use Strawberry for music, personally, as I like the added metadata features it offers.

I like Audacious but it lacks the Winamp features of later builds. Went for Strawberry instead when I migrated to FOSS.

Looks great! I’ve been rocking Strawberry for a little while now since I decided to finally retire Winamp, but this looks like it might be better in terms of the UI!

Every company would. They’re not going to go out of business over one customer. What’s important is that they weren’t able to give any important information.

Proton Pass. If you’re comfortable with cloud E2EE managers, it’s far more worth it than Bitwarden, since you get unlimited email aliases. Better for privacy and even security. Plus, I trust Proton, they have a phenomenal track record in terms of security and encryption.

Best weather app I’ve used. FOSS but unlike most FOSS weather apps, it doesn’t FEEL like your typical FOSS alternative.

Kotatsu and Mira, both on F-Droid. Kotatsu makes it easier to read manga without a subscription and you can add your own DRM-free manga. Mira is similar but adds anime and K-drama streaming as an option as well.

Even though I am subbed to Crunchyroll, having an option to watch if I have to cancel to save money, that’s very helpful.

More reason to use Brave, keep JS disabled by default and just re-enable on a site-by-site basis.

The dumb part about that, though, is that it’s considerably easy to spin up a forum with a free forum host and you get significantly more control and customization than what Discord gives.

I find that some Matrix clients make it easy to build and interact with a community. Even Element has a lot of Discord’s core features, it just lacks the streaming and some of the gaming-related stuff. Otherwise, Matrix rooms are sufficient for building an “easy to chat” community.

Discord is only good for coordinating game events and helping to facilitate gaming community engagement. I’m so sick of everyone pushing it as the central hub of everything social and the idea of entire projects centered around Discord is absolutely ludicrous.
