Probably a good choice. Calckey sounds like an unmaintained spreadsheet software project. Firefish is better, if a little generic.

I think you misread my post.

But if you watch some of his videos on NYC and moving to Texas he’ll opine on some of his other views.

It leaks out a bit if you watch enough of his videos. I don’t get the sense that he’s right-wing in a MAGA ultra-bigot way, he’s just very very libertarian. Loose gun laws, low-taxes, government stay outta my life kinda guy.

Not the kind of politics I subscribe to, but I don’t consider him to be a bad person for it.

Only issue I’d see with the WAN show is that a large chunk of it is LTT meta discussion. If you don’t watch/care about LTT that could get a little dull. Same with merch messages.

Here’s the account, because I spent longer than necessary trying to find it in the article. mastodon.social/@dungeons

There’s an “Install” button in Firefox in the menu.

What’s your Twitch solution? Blocking Twitch is considerably more difficult than YouTube, every solution I’ve found breaks after a month or so. Best I can get is have it display a blank screen while ads play, but I still have to wait it out, which isn’t ideal.

I’m loving this and have contributed a bunch already, but one problem I’m noticing is people labeling things “reviews” on videos that are definitely not reviews, like impressions videos or unboxings.

I’ve loved Technology Connections ever since I saw his riveting hour long video on dishwashing detergent. I don’t even have a dishwasher.

Before this link was posted I didn’t even know he was still around, I used to watch him like 15 years ago and it’s pretty much the same as I remember it.

The Mother series was a big one

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is fun. And hard.

Keep in mind that rif has been around since 2010, and the official app launched in 2016. I think the opposite is true, anecdotally I’ve noticed discussion of 3PA has gone down in the past 5 years. People used to talk about it all the time, I didn’t hear much until this controversy. Most redditors are not power-users, I don’t think many of them would know what F-Droid is let alone use it. I’d personally guess that 3PA usage is under 10%.

I think this change was mainly sparked by cracking down on AI scraping bots, and killing 3PA was a two-birds-one-stone side effect to prepare for their IPO.

There’s no way this poll is accurate. Just looking at the Play Store the official app has 100M+ downloads. The bext closest, rif, has 5M+. I think people underestimate how many casual users go straight to the official app and don’t care about any of this is.

Yeah, developers of new instances should probably edit that out.

I don’t think its a huge issue though, looking at that page the number of people who have donated more than $10 is like… a dozen.

I don’t agree with these views at all, but I don’t agree with the view that no one should use lemmy because of the opinions of the developers. Its an open-source project, just don’t use anything hosted by them. Like I don’t support the US military, but that doesn’t stop me from using the internet.

Its nice to see this talked about on such a large channel

Yeah, and people got extremely attached to their Replikas. To the point that the subreddit stickied a suicide hotline number when the app removed sexual roleplay.
