• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do gameplay youtuber develop interesting commentary?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I never got super info their videos, but I think the DreamSMP would count as the roleplayer category. Honestly, when I think about my childhood Minecraft YT channels, Aphmau was the main creator of RPG-like “tell’s a story though Minecraft” content (MC Diaries, MyStreet, Dreams of Estorra [RIP 😭], etc ).

  Anyway yeah, there’s a subcategory of people who I think like to roleplay in their games and make a creative, original story out of it. I think another modern example would be the Your Average Hylian, a channel that makes silly content focusing around LoZ, like “What Hyrulean ads would be like” or “Hyrule Cooking Show Parody”

  This account has posted news featuring several countries, including ones that (rightfully so) show America’s fascist actions, and yet one fucking post of a girl getting brutalized is somehow Sinophobic propaganda? Just cause you like China doesn’t mean bad shit doesn’t happen there. This is a community for world news.

  The few dumb artists who only release music there and nowhere else, the better streaming quality (I guess? I’ve read it somewhere), and slightly better at suggesting/categorizing music genres. I don’t use it because all the time I’d see people cry “I wish this was on Spotify!!!” in a YT comment section, and YT music had everything I wanted. Plus YT free is way more bearable that Spotify free, and I use ReVanced now anyway.

  But yeah Spotify always sucked to me and I’m tired of those who shame others for not using it. The “Apple green bubble shaming” of the music world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh man, the moment I clicked on this thread, Trails came into mind. Now, I myself haven’t played it, but my mother is close to finishing Kevin’s game, and we were speaking at the the next few games and the most recent one to be released. And man, I don’t even know if I wanna play this series anymore.

  The anime tropes we saw and read about from people’s reviews are killing us, and me and my mom fucking love anime. Hell, she’s a shonen-anime lover through and through. But the way the older characters like Agate get yassified into looking like generic anime guy #1 with red hair and Zin into slightly less generic anime guy #2 kills me, these dudes should not look like college kids 😭

  The shitty romance that they’re hinting between Agate and Tita is 🤢. I really wish they had kept them as a sibling dynamic, and I thought Tita’s mom was freaking out because she thought he was a pervert, not that he actually liked her…

  Also found out about the adopted siblings from TS:CS that seem to like each other, which is creepier than Estelle x Joshua because this pair was raised together since they were literal toddlers unlike the original two… God Japan’s not-by-blood adopt a son to marry thing kills me. The adopt a son to marry is fine if the girl wasn’t raised with him or like, they’re 20 years old. But this, “we literally were raised like siblings” thing kills me sometimes.

  But yeah the egregious fan service, flanderization, and overall lack of seriousness that we saw from some of the newer games made me be like “maybe I won’t pick this game up,” which is a shame. I’m really disappointed to hear about the anime gender tropes stuff…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI slop is ruining all of our favorite places to scroll⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was an advid Pinterest user until the excessive ads around 3 years ago, and that was right as the AI art was starting to flood the place. I just liked looking at Anime art, memes, and making boards of my favorite media cause something about categories makes my brain tick. But I feel like Pixelfed doesn’t meet the exact needs Pinterest people have.

  I might be dumb but from a quick test on both Pixelix (Android app I use) and the Pixelfed Webapp, Collections seems to be a collection of posts by you, not a collection of saved posts from others. They’re either a draft, public, or followers only, not private option. Also the bookmark button seems to not work on either client either, like what does it even do?

  Anyway, yeah Pinterest is a hellhole now, but until Pixelfed cleans up the UI a bit more and adds more features, I don’t think it can really be called a replacement.

  Okay, is there like good ways to discover music via the Fediverse? Cause like, forgive me for still clinging to YT Music, I like finding new music and it gets stale every now and then since I don’t have history turned on for recommendations.

  At this rate I’m gonna start making daily/weekly Mastodon posts about what I listened to in hopes of someone just commenting similar sounding artists.

  • Dubstep is nice, not my fave EDM sub-genre tho (DnB, Breakcore, and Jungle all the way!)
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The worst thing about Linux is its users⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, I think outside of potential language/accessibility/hardware incompatibility issues that I’ve read on blogs/comments, Linux works for the “average” user. It’s the slightly “advanced” user like me who struggles, and the “truly advanced” who swim like a duck in water in any distro. Like the bell curve meme.

  I say this cause if I literally only needed some apps and the browser, I wouldn’t struggle. But I do tinker with things and end up needing slightly uncommon software/features that require me to use the CLI (and my dumbass can’t remember commands), even though I’m mid at using the CLI. Meanwhile, people born with a usb-stick in hand love the CLI and use it for everything, even things I would try to avoid unless I felt it was easier.

  A kid I know has put his grandparents on Fedora, and has no issues. It comes down to the person. If they can click some buttons and read, and only wanna use office, browser, and a app or two, they’d probably live. Yeah, you might have to tinker how it looks for them or put the apps on the desktop, but outside of that, it’s simple.

  Windows definitely doesn’t “just work”, I had to figure out Windows decided to kill my Wifi adapter whenever my laptop would go in sleep (god… why???). OneDrive is an ass, devices not wanting to connect (Bluetooth controllers), printers, etc. I’ll give you that Mac works pretty well for those who like it, but I hate Apple and never got used to Mac. I still can’t remove some shitty old virus scanner that doesn’t work anyway and it can’t update anymore, so it just rots on our computer. So like, Mac has their off-days with me too (one time FF nuked itself…)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The worst thing about Linux is its users⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, my grandma had to call my mom and I to help her with Windows to stop uploading everything to OneDrive, and even I fucking hate fighting Windows over OneDrive. I think she could live with Fedora or Mint and be okay, unless there’s a specific app she needed.

  My grandma actually used to be a computer professor back in the 80s or so, but I guess use it or lose it lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I started using a VPN after my friends/classmates told me about them in my Sophomore year of HS, mostly to get around the Wifi banning us from accessing certain apps (social media). Now, like all the other dumb kids, I used whatever they recommended, which was some shitty “Free” VPN that was probably stalking my data. But by Senior year, I smartened up and learned about online privacy and got myself a Proton VPN subscription after using the free version for a bit.

  So yeah, I could totally believe middle-school and up are using VPNs, cause that’s what we literally did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just cuz an alleged says no he didn’t: That does not automatically mean he’s innocent. It’s just inconclusive without evidence.

  Well, inconclusive is going to mean that unfortunately, that guy is probably getting away scott-free, as most courts are not going to want to just take testimony as their sole piece of evidence. If we can’t prove neither is telling the truth, they can’t convict a person.

  I believe the women. I WANT with my heart and soul for him to rot. Testimony + EVIDENCE is the only way the court is ever gonna throw the PRESIDENT in jail. The pictures, black book, etc. are very helpful, and I wish they’d just convict him with that alone + testimony. If it’s left up to a jury, maybe we wouldn’t be fucked. But you can’t seriously think testimony alone is gonna be satisfactory enough.

  and idgaf about what gender you are ‘as a’ you can be sexist against women while being a woman.

  Never said internalized misogyny doesn’t exist, just mentioned it because OP seems to think literally no women on Lemmy exist. Of course I can’t prove my gender on an anonymous site, so moot point now…

  Just because I say we need evidence, I’m a misogynist? Ok. Never fucking called Trump’s accusers liars, I quite literally said there’s no way he isn’t a fucking pedo.

  You can support SA accusers by hearing their side, having an open mind, and understanding that what they said COULD BE and is VERY LIKELY to be true, especially if several people are complaining. BUT, we still can’t just jump without looking, and so a court trial must occur. You’re supposed to do your absolute best to support them so they can reveal their truth in court and get all the evidence they need to bring that person down. That’s all we can do to get justice.

  Starting this by saying: Using tracking apps to see what someone’s doing 24/7 or worrying about them cheating is insane and is a solid NO, full stop.

  But I do understand why people use tracking apps, and I wish we had good FOSS alternatives. A tracking/location sharing app where the trackee can turn it on/off anytime they want (after using a password/biometrics, to prevent others from messing with it), so loved ones can be sure you made it to your destination.

  I don’t want people stalking their kids, judging their friends for the places they go, surveiling if someone’s a cheater, or worst of all, having their data be sold by the shitty companies that run these services.

  I’ve read stories that have scared me and made me wish I could do something like that when I’m out late. I had to (unfortunately) use Live360 during a field trip in another country cause the teachers needed to keep track of us. I understand safety-wise that these apps are vital

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Um… I’m a girl, and I totally believe these women were assaulted because we’re talking about rich assholes who literally feel like they can do anything.

  But you have to present evidence no matter what. That’s literally how the court works. If all we have is he-said-she-said, then there’s not much we can do to reach a verdict. There have been regular people who have been incorrectly deemed assaulters/rapists due to lack of evidence. We have seen women who lie about this. You NEED to have proof, to ensure that it’s an undeniable fact that the accused is officially recognized as a shit person.

  This is an unrealistic ideal, I’m gonna be real. I want these women to win and be acknowledged. I want all who interacted with Epstein to rot in prison and hell. But we need evidence. That’s just the truth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Media codecs and formats

  Got burned by this recently, was trying to use MPV for playing a YT vid, and it had no audio but had video. Turns out Fedora comes with an open-source or smth version of H264 encoders, so I had to uninstall those packages for the official Cisco ones. But I was on atomic and it wasn’t fun so I ran to forums for help.

  Driver availability

  Not sure if it’s the driver or the kernel (maybe dual-booting? But it worked on both partitions originally…) but my Bluetooth is nuked on my Linux partition. I tried to do rfkill, btusb, systemctl, etc. and the only solution I got was to rollback to an older release of Fedora atomic because it’s most likely a kernel issue. That just sucks man, having to be stuck on an older version to get my earbuds to work lol. I didn’t like atomic and now I’m on reg KDE Fedora, so I’m truly fucked as that’s not a rollback distro.

  I still love using Fedora (every time I boot into Windows I cry) and it just makes me love my laptop like it’s brand-new. Tinkering is fun to me, I’ll literally sit at my desk and starve myself while trying to get something to work. But some days, I want my stuff to work with minimal tinkering, and not have to worry if it’ll break when I really need it down the line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “It just works” only works for very basic normie stuff.

  I think that was @Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world’s main point. Apple is great if you’re a normie, but if you even think about tinkering with things, have an unusual issue on your system, or creatures forbid… want to play games, you’re fucked.

  My mom is an Apple diehard who has used Android and Windows in the past (2000s), but got burned by Window’s shitty security and really only switched to iPhone due to iMessage being more reliable than SMS at the time. She knows a little bit of tech stuff (I guess I get it from her), but overall, she’s a “normie” compared to me, so Apple (90% of the time) does what she needs.

  It simplifies a lot of things

  If this was me about 3 weeks ago, I wouldn’t have debated this as hard. But recently my grandma had to call my mom and I to help her get her iPhone pictures to work on her Windows laptop, and she almost thought she downloaded a virus when trying to get an HEIC app. Apple’s asinine proprietary file format is a plague on society, and I hated when I had to send pictures from my iPhone to my Google drive for school in HS. That’s not simple, and now we have to help grandparents understand that they need to screenshot their camera pictures or else literally no website will take their damn photos.

  The little things add-up for me, and so yeah, it’s nice having something that “just works”, but only if you literally accept everything and never complain about any of their choices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently decided to switch from using Atomic Fedora to reg KDE Fedora (cause tinkering and bypassing atomic features got on my nerves), and I almost went through with wiping everything and only having Linux installed. And then I realized I probably wouldn’t be able to do some tests for college cause they use anti-cheating software (lockdown browser) which they probably wouldn’t like if I ran it in a VM or wine…

  But man, once I’m out of college, I’m probably wiping Windows for good! Also gonna factory reset that partition so it at least takes way less space on my drive.

  (Side note: the other hesitation is that I’m 90% kernel updates nuked Bluetooth for me around March (It worked when I rolled back to January/February releases) and I do have zoom classes sometimes. Like, do I just have to buy a Bluetooth dongle to deal with this?)
