I think the fediverse does have a privacy problem, however as long as your account can’t be linked to you (malicious instance, your email being breached) it doesn’t matter all that much (at least for my threat level) because the info is confined to the fediverse, where little can be done with it, especially if you swap instances/accounts commonly. Yes, one could create a profile on you based on what you upvote/downvote, but they can’t for example use that to serve targeted ads, because the fediverse doesn’t have a ad network and when visiting other sites they can’t associate your profile with you (assuming you don’t reuse your username), unless I am forgetting something.

tldr: The fediverse isn’t private, but the data is practically useless

With the full release, the game will remain free for the first week, after which it will be made paid again at a cheap and ethical price. Don’t forget to add the game to your library while it’s free!

The dev already sounds like a nice guy. Now I kinda feel bad for getting it for free

This game reminds of Getting over it because you fall down and have to start over

For example “yt-dlp select resolution” or “yt-dlp audio only”. There are some more, it feels like the pages I mentioned are just generally ranked higher.

Also really appreciate the dedication, I think Mojeek is probably the only search engine that listens this much to user feedback. Is there a Lemmy community or something similar where one kann submit queries like these?

The searches I have trouble with are mainly support for software. For example, searching for “Kdenlive audio visualizer” results in a Kdenlive tutorial that has nothing to do with audio visualization, Kdenlive release notes and a link to a no longer available Kdenlive docs page. Searching for most stuff with “yt-dlp” will result in the top pages being the alternativeto.net page and some other pages like the GitHub topic that don’t help with the problem at all. While most of the time when trying to get software support you will find a solution, but you will have to search a lot harder. Still, I’m amazed at how much the results improved since my prior use of Mojeek. If it continues to improve like that I’ll definitely give it another go.

Heroic has the option to automatically add games to steam. Also it works quite well in game mode if you add it as a non steam game and can then be controlled entirely with a controller. That’s the most convenient option I found.

I made this post a while ago, some parts aren’t correct anymore but it’s still pretty good. I use DuckDuckGo because I rely heavily on its image search filters, but I’m trying to move to a multi engine system. That will likely involve 4get because it’s FOSS and Brave because they have their own index that actually isn’t bad (Brave will be more of a backup solution).

I had used it for some time, but the results were really bad. They have gotten much better, but be aware that you will need to use other search engines. Privacy wise they do collect some basic information such as what you search for and what browser you’re using, but they don’t collect your IP so that it shouldn’t be associatable to you and they never share this info. To my knowledge they have not been involved in any big controversy’s so far.

Yes. You obviously do need an account to get it, just like on GOG, but after installing it you can launch it directly from the exe without any internet connection or launcher installed. If you don’t want to use the epic games launcher to install it then you can use Heroic.

I mean I get the idea, but if it ain’t open source I’ll just go with the ever so slightly more difficult option of downloading Heroic and adding it as a non steam game.

It’s drm free, you can play it without the launcher

A separate instance would allow for separate users/communities per channel which would also lessen the load on other (smaller) instances

Yeah, I basically gave up on the odysee comment section. I think would be nice if there was a mastodon/lemmy instance (or similar) that automatically creates post for new videos so that there would be a moderated comment section with more sane users

Hyprland? Also cosmic technically

Legit™

It’s just the default website with stuff in the middle cut out

Wouldn’t gnux make more sense?

I have a WebOS tv and the answer is: just don’t. It’s open source in a similar way Android is, spy’s on you, has way less apps available and can’t/is really bad at basic shit

Bazzite (fedora based) is actually more like steamOS than Arch is like steamOS, as both Bazzite and steamOS are immutable. I love Bazzite/Aurora/Bluefin because they have the option to include Nvidia drivers preconfigured out of the box. There have been some improvements in KDE for NVIDIA recently, so maybe check it out. One quick question, why is dealing with packages a pro point for Ubuntu?

Discord would be the obvious answer, but I understand why you might want to use it, my recommendation is using a client that disables some of the tracking like Vesktop. Spotify is also a major privacy concern, it can be replaced by Spotube (and to a lesser degree by Audiotube) which removes most tracking and is three and convenient. Also I’m not sure if I would keep using chromium, especially with manifest V3
