Someone give it to me straight, what is the endgame of this cat and mouse game? I know yt-dlp and invidious have been quite crafty at adapting to these changes, but the scales seem to be tipping.

It feels like Google will dominate the game into submission the same way it did with AOSP and Chrome. I know I’m being dramatic but it’s really starting to feel like we’re being cornered into a hopeless situation

Another reason to use nvim over emacs. Precisely what I needed today folks
Doing the Lord’s work OP

I’m not fully disagreeing with you, but blaming past generations is quite precisely how the boomers goofed as severely as they did. They played the blame game to the same tune we are currently, the only difference is they didn’t LARP and play pretend about it as shallowly as we do. If we want to be truly better we must first ensure that we don’t become exactly like the selfish demons we must vanquish. Otherwise evil persists merely in a different form.

It’s got to stop here with us–we are the last generation, all of us. Identifying core issues is critical–but the secrets of the Egyptians were secrets even to themselves.

May I ask why Zulip was selected over others like xmpp or irc? I’m just generally curious about zulip’s potential advantages in the long-term

Do you have any tips for others looking to move their matrix/irc activity over to simplex?

As someone whos familiar with irc, where do I start with irc3? Will I have to learn a new client?

it claims to be private, but also couldn’t answer me when I asked how I could verify that claim

wait, even if I only used duck.ai?

I almost fully agree Idk about ‘should’ just out of paranoia that I can imagine a case where criticizing without sufficient contrast or a consistent-enough background of otherness, could potentially have unintended consequences or surprisingly negative overall moral impacts Or maybe just paranoid idek

Can’t criticize unless an alternative is provided tho, can you?

I’m not defending yt, but I am curious to know how specifically this isn’t mostly an overreaction if possible

Wait where does it say that specifically?

With the most expertise in this thread, may I ask your take on matrix vs irc horribleness?

You have now anti-sold me and hyper-enlightened me with some very worthwhile wisdom. I can not say thank you enough–I truly need more like you in my life

You are selling me mr. Fudge. I still need to do a lotta research but you are def sellin me here

It certainly feels like it is judging by the general moodshifts occuring. But I’m a moron, what alternative exists for a secure phone of comparable functionality? It feels like ditching phones is the only option to some extent(for me). If stupid, isn’t the phone the most vulnerable weakpoint open to attack?

as a panicked graphene enjoyer, does oneplus measure up as a decent alternative or no?

You must be ignoring the Motorola bloat that makes it’s performance beyond subpar somehow

well I’d read the documentation if websearch wasn’t so shoddy that I could find it in the first place /s

Kubuntu is excellent for the stability imo. Super sane and low-demand defaults make for a reliable/enjoyable experience
I only use gentoo now so I can’t offer suggestions other than maybe alpine for servers
