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.

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.

Yes. If you’re on public property, filming is fair game unless you’re harassing a person.

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 seriously can’t stand this woman.

I’ve experienced no such issue. I use hardened Firefox for some stuff including Twitter, never encountered this.

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

Sounds like someone is mad that security experts would rather trust a tried-and-true encryption standard over Telegram’s encryption which is known to not be anywhere near as secure as the Signal protocol.

Pavel resorting to outright slander to promote Telegram is not something I expected to see.

I very, very strongly disagree.

And DDG is on record for censorship and caving to Microsoft. They also both provide results based off MS and Google results.

Neither are ideal. It’s why only use them as a fallback. Brave Search all the way.

I agree somewhat. I know how to use a search engine, I don’t need AI. The main problem is that, sadly, AI is going to be required to stay competitive.

I will say Brave’s AI is very useful, though.

Brave Search. At this point, I almost never need a different one. They also have optional AI but they’re doing so in a way that preserves privacy.

As is Startpage now.
