Literally the only thing keeping me on windows for my home PC is video game drm. I hope the #steamdeck and other desktop Linux users promote better compatibility moving forward. I'd love to try new distros on my home PC
What's the last #tactics game you played? (if it was #fireemblem engage then please, tell me the one before that) I'm trying to get into something new. +Points if it's on sale on #steam atm.
Does anyone know what I can do to help #promote#mastodon to those around me? I think the idea of the #fediverse is much more secure and open (at the same time) than having all these large corporations farming data constantly. #wondering
@anianimalsmoe I'm ok with data scapers and the like, pulling data that has been posted, because every since we starting using the internet, the public sentiment was always "If it's online, it's out there and online forever!"
I don't like the idea of handing over private info to the powers that be and building a huge profile of likes and dislikes that are then tied to my phone, email, etc. and then sold without my consent to third parties.
But I have a good feeling about the positive effects that #threads will have on #mastodon if it's fully inoperable it'll bring more and more eyes to #mastodon
Friend: Do you want to hang out next week?
Me: No, I’ll be sick.
Friend: You know you’re going to be sick a week in advance?
Me: Yeah, that’s just what social gatherings do to me.
It seems that the internet is enshittifing itself even further. Besides the Birdsite turning unregistered access and Aliensite, everyone knows that already,
Now Youtube is the next on the #enshittification trend as they are testing adblock detection, and you can be blocked from watching videos after three videos of ignoring the warning, unless you disable it or pay for Youtube Red.
So I guess this will qualify as my #introduction
I'm 30(m) and I'm into just about everything you'd expect. (I'm here aren't I?) I like technology, anime, manga, video games and a good time. I like seeing things that I normally wouldn't be able to. I live in the Eastern US and wish to travel to Japan. I hope to learn more and more about the culture and I'm slowly learning Japanese. Please be patient as I learn the platform. I hope to gain tons of new friends and have lots of conversations.
My favorite series that I've discovered recently is 'Don't Toy With Me Miss Nagatoro' I don't know what it is about it, but it's great! I binged the manga in less than a week (which is blazing to me). And I'm almost through the first season dubbed and I'm going to go back and watch it subbed.
