Yeah it was basically denying the existence of gay people and instead forcing them to be trans, not exactly the progressive move it sounds like.

Guess it runs in the family

Gotosocial is basically that.

I ended up going with akkoma for my instance, its not just for single user setups but its simpler then mastodon with more customizability.

Nostr is also something you might want to look into, its a pretty neat system.

Dante is what ive always used.

Interesting considering grapheneOS does not actually support rooting.

How do you think it would play out if proton refuses lawful orders from a court in the country they operate in?

I do think proton does a lot of misleading advertising, but its still on the user to research and have good opsec. Paying with a card when crypto is an option, using the same service for both email and a vpn, using that service from a public wifi near where you are known to live while actively doing crimes. A lot of mistakes made on the users part. Proton is running a business not a criminal protection racket, you cant expect them to help you get away with crimes just because they claim to value privacy.

I pay nothing and just rotate between gmail accounts when one hits a usage limit.  I have about a dozen accounts so between all of them i get about as many tokens as i would a single paid account.

I started doing it first with Cursor AI, and i still use that too, but now googles Anti-gravity gives access to Claude and the usage limits are separate from the limits for Gemini. With all of it combined I have more then enough usage to do whatever i want without paying any of the corps a dime.

Yeah elementx is the main client i use, it works great!

Ive used 3 of the 4 and have been on Continuwuity for about a year, no complaints.

I recently tried out mybunny.tv and found it very good, i dont normally watch things live but the superbowl seemed like a good excuse to try something.

Or better yet Unsubscribe but dont stop using ths service, if enough go from paying customer to wasteful freeloader they will lose even more.

What sort of things are people trying to screen share on discord? Are you watching a movie together, playing a game, or ???

For a private screen you can use a web based solution like mirotalk or jitsi. Pretty much all web browsers support screenshare via an extension these days so its mostly just a matter of finding a server with low latency (or running your own)

I tend to stream directly to peertube so thats what i was thinking of for obs but its true that obs isnt ideal for smaller private sessions.

This attitude is exactly why you and most people will be continuing to repeate this cycle of enshittification every 5 years or so.

You went from using multiple apps to a big clunky web browser that only connects to one service and you trust that service not to screw you over one day.

This is why we cant have nice things.

Stoat would be nice except its still a silo, you can self host your own silo but it doesnt federate, cant even use their offical app with self hosted instances. Upryzing seems like it might be going in a good direction but too early to know for sure.

Xmpp or matrix are the only truely decentralized options and neither is up for doing all the tasks discord gets used for.

The problem is many folks dont grasp the concept of doing one thing well over doing lots of things just sort of okay.

My suggestion to friends is figure out what discord features you actually care about and find apps that do those things. Muble for audio, obs to screen share, xmpp or matrix to chat, etc.

It doesnt matter if you just store them for private use, it only becomes a crime if you share them, if someone else has the same file (hash) then that means you shared it, otherwise no way to prove anything illegal happened

I dont really need it but good launchers make things easier, especially on linux where sometimes a specific patch or version of something like proton is needed and i dont want to spend hours figuring it out by trial and error.

Im not a fan of launchers being required though, thats just DRM. But projects like Heroic launcher and Lutris are incredibly nice to have. Steam is alright, its hard to hate on a company that has done as much for linux gaming as valve has, but they do have their problems.

Meshcore is pretty impressive, meshtastic is neat too. Not much in terms of bandwidth but the reach is incredible.
