I hope no one at Apple takes this opinion seriously. The security of Apple hardware and software is one of its major selling points for me. The MINUSCULE amount of time it takes to click a button allowing permissions is very much worth the security and transparency it provides.

Ruffle is one of the most important pieces of game preservation currently out there, and it warms my heart to see it constantly improving!

As someone who was homeschooled, please believe me when I say you should not homeschool your kids.

This image is reaching comedic levels of jpeg compression.

A stable time loop.

This is the correct answer that so few of us realize. We as a people are able to do more than one thing at once. Yes, we should still vote for the lesser of 2 evils, AND we should also make progress to improve the system itself.

I sadly don’t have a list of these anymore, so I’ll be watching this thread for ideas! I’m ready to go back to the way I used to browse the web.

I’m not joking when I say that the compiz cube was the reason I got into Linux back in the day. In hindsight, it was just a neat graphical gimmick, but it was enough to spark my lifelong love for free software.

I think we all know that these blackouts aren’t going to be the death of Reddit. The admins always had the power to in-blackout subreddits if they are deemed important enough. The best thing that came of this whole ordeal is the absolutely MASSIVE spike in Lemmy users (see https://the-federation.info/platform/73).

As long as enough people stay here, we can continue to grow based on momentum, and we won’t even need to think about Reddit moving forward. At least, that’s the way I see it.

There are dozens of us!

A big reason I use MPV is because of anime. I forget exactly what the reason was back in the day, but I can remember MPV being better at playing certain formats, and fan subs of anime are early adopters of new codecs. In addition, there is a very healthy ecosystem of plugins related to language learning, which again ties back to anime.

I can’t tell if this is copypasta, but if it’s not, you might be a woman. Just saying.

Hi! I’m a professional timpanist with a bachelors degree in music education. Buy your kids “two-pocket folders” from Amazon or you preferred local office supply store, and teach them the importance of organizing their sheet music. This is a skill they will need for their entire lives.

Now, to give you the self-hosted answer: forScore is seriously the best app in existence. It does so much more than just store sheet music. I personally use an app called Möbius Sync which uses syncthing under the hood, to sync my forScore files with my NAS. The only caveat to this system is you need to have the app open in order to sync files. Sucks I know.

Let me finish by saying that I strongly discourage you from giving your kids forScore, as it adds a mountain of complexity to their experience with music that they simply do not need in their lives right now. Buy them cheap two-pocket folders and chastise them for leaving their paper around the house like animals. If any of them ever study music in college, then at that would be the point at which using forScore becomes worthwhile.

P.S. thank you for being so supportive of your kids interest in music! It’s great to hear of a family whose children study so much music that it’s becoming a logistical concern, lol. We need more families like yours.

The next level above that is installing a keyboard-driven window manager like i3. That’s where the dopamine really comes from.

I honestly had given up hope this would ever happen. For global menu enjoyers, this is the holy grail of programs that just refused to play nice.

Gotta say, “college tuition” was not on my “things Reagan ruined” bingo card.

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

Yeah it’s definitely Safari for me, most of the time. I do switch to Brave whenever I want to watch YouTube though, since it actually blocks ads there.

Is she in the wall or floating??

Hello world! I'm one of the many reddit refugees who found out about lemmy after the blackouts. The ray of light in the whole twitter debacle was finding out about mastodon, and the greater fediverse, so when I saw reddit going the same direction, I was already primed to look for a federated platform to jump ship to.

Lately I couldn't help shake the feeling that the current state of the internet was just wrong, and I longed for the early days when it felt like a giant collection of unique and interesting communities, all linking to each other. I truly feel like this is the next step in the evolution of the world wide web, and that massive corporate-controlled social media websites were just a brief distraction from actual progress.

It's good to be home.
