among us

try using pcem or other kinds of virtualisation

I disagree. It can be a useful learning point for both parties, especially if you have differing opinions and have good points for them.

ive only upgraded from my 2014 shit phone in 2021, and i plan to do the same with this one for as long as i can

asus has killed the possibility of me being a potential customer then lol

technically that is only true if the malware in question does something in the kernel or relies on an unimplemented wine api call, since a lot of malware is an infostealer or ransomware, its quite likely that it’ll work just fine under wine

at least you have someone cool and close to you in your life

i mean i would get it if the platform wasn’t trying to take advantage of you, but considering youtube’s moves in the past few years and especially recently with some people getting adblock-blocked, yea i don’t think supporting them further is a good idea

not yet, if you want to push yourself a little bit you could create your own community for it

i happen to still mostly use windows media player on windows 10 LTSC, in my opinion it looks better and runs much better than whatever regular windows has nowadays

of course VLC exists too and is mostly superior, but it doesnt have the cool visualisations for music :(

Moistly ui issues that Vivaldi.

?

also file pickers that show thumbnails on linux from what i’ve seen are extremely commonplace

yea i agree, growth would be a better word to use here

it’s a shame most people just don’t care, this has been slowly consuming and devouring every single service online and recently offline for the past decade

it’s a for profit, proprietary application that doesn’t value your privacy in the slightest, it’s becoming a monopoly over communities and taking over places like forums and instant messaging and is not immune to enshittification

i’d give it one or two years before discord undergoes some serious enshittification, with the way most other social media websites have gone down, presumably due to them not being really profitable anymore, im sure discord will start pushing people into nitro more and more as time goes on, i mean as most other platforms discord is already taking advantage of our data, but so did twitter and look where twitter is going now lol

And, I guess, in general I am increasingly worried about people with bad opsec. A lot of the “fediverse” discussions are reminding me of the crypto crowd thinking it provides a high degree of security and anonymity because a corporation is not involved. And they really don’t realize just how much power and access instance owners/admins have.

people should always think that everything they post on the internet can be searchable and viewable by anyone, it is public information

i still have no clue why people use chrome for the past 5+ years, there’s better chromium alternatives if you still want to use chromium for some reason, and there’s firefox which doesn’t support the chromium monopoly, works really well and doesn’t try to restrict you from using adblockers

keep it up guys, we’ve got this lmao

Buy a man eat fish, he day, teach fish man, to a lifetime

well this just happened with vlemmy.net, i was affected by this and had to manually resubscribe to 50 communities and recreate one, because of this someone made a tool to download your data off of lemmy and upload it to another instance https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
