I pretty much only use Lemmy (and loops but it’s not really finished yet) but I have mastodon too.

What do you mean? The post is about using Lemmy to view mastodon stuff so I don’t have to use anything else. It’s not just about using Lemmy, it’s about only using Lemmy.

Give alvr a try, but you’re probably best off just using windows for VR.

Mint chocolate chip, and being Texan blue bell is my drug of choice.

The Logitech x3d Xtreme or whatever the hell it’s called. it’s a $34 flight stick, best one you can get for cheap, and after having and abusing it for years it only had any issues after a rottweiler puppy chewed the cable. Would recommend.

There is a setting that says port forwarding in the desktop and Android apps but I’ve never used it. If it helps, I did turn it on once to see what it was and it picks a port for you which afaik can be important.

Never had that issue on my current distro but I did on kde neon, what distro are you using?

Yeah I think PIA is a golden example here. They’ve got RAM-only servers so they have no data to turn over in the first place.

Maybe try suggesting Vivaldi? It’s not the best (and it is still chromium based) but it’s way better than chrome and has all the garbage that people talk about on opera. I use Vivaldi myself and I like it a lot.

Logitech’s apps still don’t work on my system, but I don’t mind most the time. Hopefully it’s fixed soon though bc it’s be nice to have those apps again.

No I’m relying on people to protect their own data, I’m saying that platforms should too. Edit: also most of the time they don’t have to turn over anything but do so willingly, they should say no unless presented with a valid warrant.

This kind of surveillance should be something every platform fights against. Remember that the government does not own you and they are only entitled to any of your data at all when necessary to uphold the law and under a warrant. Protect your right to privacy or they will use what you do I private to justify stripping you of all your other rights in the name of justice they will at that point no longer uphold.

JD Vance is crazy

I tried to break it into paragraphs but it doesn’t seem to have posted like that, sorry for the wall of text.

I know what colloquial means, but apes cannot be colloquially referred to as monkeys. They are to far removed. You are confusing something being colloquial with something being a common misconception, that many people do not understand taxonomy at a middle school level does not make it a correct statement. Also, colloquial generally refers to how “proper” the language is being spoken (including the usage of slang and stuff like that), and not the factual correctness of it.

Should be illegal to have touchscreen controls in a car, it requires you to look at it to effectively control it, which means the car forces you to ignore the road to do anything.

We evolved from the same species as monkeys did, not from monkeys. They weren’t actually monkeys until they were already very far removed from us. However, given that we are apes and thus there was at some point a human ancestor species that was ape and was not human the rest of that is right. Off the top of my head that species would probably be our last common ancestor with other apes. Edit: typo, I had spelt monkeys as monkies

Creepy af. Doubt they meant it to sound quite so sinister but still that’s too far.
