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 feel like there’s been a growing number of “shit windows does” posts on lemmy recently. It makes me glad I dropped that OS long ago.

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.

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

I currently use brave on iOS to block YouTube ads. Is there any other option right now? I’d be willing to switch.

While I agree that it would be nice to only have one app installed in order to chat with everyone, the fact that it’s not open source makes me question the privacy involved. I’ve already sold my soul to these individual chat apps. I’d rather not compound that problem.

ようこそ日本へ！ I’m not in Japan myself, but it’s cool to see lemmy hosted in more places. Let’s make it worldwide, baby!

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

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.
