Nine times out of ten, it’s not that anyone is scared of the LGBT community. We just recognize the negative impacts their activism is having on society (especially kids) and we get sick of having a completely contrary worldview shoved down our throats.

ChallengeApathy ,

Nope, just sick of y’all pushing it on everyone, insisting we agree with your worldview, and making up goofy terms like “heteronormative” to make it sound philosophical.

ChallengeApathy ,

Sure, you can’t force someone to be gay, which is why I have no idea why the LGBT activists insist on forcing their worldview on everyone.

Oh no, looks like I ruffled the feathers of a mod. This crap right here is exactly why I despise Reddit and it seems Lemmy ain’t any better. Every day, I grow more convinced that I might just need to ditch Lemmy entirely.

Linux on old School Machines?

Hi all, the private school I work at has a tonne of old windows 7/8 era desktops in a student library. The place really needs upgrades but they never seem to prioritise replacing these machines. Ive installed Linux on some older laptops of mine and was wondering if you all think it would be worth throwing a light Linux distro on...

ChallengeApathy ,

Zorin OS has a lite version, you could test that and see if it works. Besides, it’s one of the best distros for people used to Windows so it wouldn’t require much work to help people to figure out how to use it.

ChallengeApathy ,

The thing is, using a Chromium-based browser isn’t contributing to their monopoly unless Google holds sway over the fork. Brave, Vivaldi, those two are generally fine and stand against what Google has been up to.

Video player? Absolutely. However, it leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to music. I use Strawberry for music, personally, as I like the added metadata features it offers.

ChallengeApathy ,

Same except I watch with Freetube 99% of the time. Never once had it happen to me.

ChallengeApathy ,

Dead Internet.

ChallengeApathy ,

It’s almost as if communism is an atrocious idea, it’s not like they always turn into dystopian dictatorships or anything 🤔

ChallengeApathy ,

Looks great! I’ve been rocking Strawberry for a little while now since I decided to finally retire Winamp, but this looks like it might be better in terms of the UI!

ChallengeApathy ,

Because it’s a centralized system owned by a sociopath billionaire gathering unchanging, personal details about swaths of the population using ye olde “for the greater good” adage as the justification. You’d have to be a special kind of fool to go along with it.

ChallengeApathy ,

Almost nothing. I sometimes use it to rephrase a question or answer. I refuse to become dependent on AI or contribute to it more than I already unwittingly have.

ChallengeApathy ,

I don’t like big government but I have zero sympathy in this case. TikTok is the greatest cancer on modern society and I will not change my mind on that.

ChallengeApathy ,

I agree but TikTok is worthless in general. The content it serves people is literal brain rot. Also, I don’t want it to sell, I just want it to die and never come back.

ChallengeApathy ,

Time for them to move over to Matrix.

ChallengeApathy ,

Yay, Germany gets to smell like skunk and be full of mentally fried idiots. Whoop-dee-frickin-doo.

ChallengeApathy ,

Potheads getting triggered because people don’t support their disgusting habit never gets old.

ChallengeApathy ,

“Nazi parlance”, sure 🤣

ChallengeApathy ,

There’s a reason I block Hexbear communities when I come across them, js.

ChallengeApathy ,

It’s called the internet. Suck it up, buttercup.

ChallengeApathy ,

For the record, I hate alcohol and tobacco just as much and think we should have stuck with Prohibition. No mind-altering substances should be legal.

ChallengeApathy ,

Only cause Lemmy evidently doesn’t have many reasonably-minded folk on it. Been discovering that a lot lately.

ChallengeApathy ,

How classy.

ChallengeApathy ,

It wouldn’t surprise me but it’s not like Pixelfed competes with IG in the narcissistic-influencers-posting-every-second way. Pixelfed is basically a federated version of what IG was, before influencers started posting their whole lives there.

ChallengeApathy ,

More reason to use Brave, keep JS disabled by default and just re-enable on a site-by-site basis.

ChallengeApathy ,

I used to use DDG until they started censoring results.

I use Brave Search and Startpage. The latter is basically just a private Google proxy with some cool features and the former is fully independent, private, aesthetically appealing and has nice optional AI features.

Imagine canceling one of the fathers of the modern WWW because he hurt your feelings…

Stop using gitlab.com for projects - Credit card info required for new registrations

If your IP (and possible your browser) looks “suspicious” or has been used by other users before, you need to add additional information for registration on gitlab.com, which includes your mobile phone number and possibly credit card information. Since it is not possible to contribute or even report issues on open source...

ChallengeApathy ,

It will be if digital ID rolls out with CBDCs.

ChallengeApathy ,

For me, it depends. If the developer has a good reputation and is doing early access to present a better game at its full launch, I definitely don’t have an issue with it. Unfortunately, devs and games like that are uncommon.

ChallengeApathy ,

Why buy them DRMed when you can get them DRM-free on GOG?

ChallengeApathy ,

If a game uses Denuvo, I refuse to buy it. It’s unacceptable.

ChallengeApathy ,

Try this, it’s great.

No. Not just “no”, hard no. Part of our society’s problems stem from how people spend half (if not all) of their 20s partying. This is particularly an issue for us traditional men who want to marry earlier in adulthood but can’t find any high value women who aren’t feminists who have, let’s just say, “been around”. Furthermore, when you marry and have kids at an earlier place in your adult life, you get to spend more of your life with your children, see their successes, you get to witness your legacy unfold in real time.

That is what we need more of and I will not be convinced otherwise.

ChallengeApathy ,

Sounds good to me. If the federal government isn’t gonna do its job and protect our borders, it falls on the states to take up that mantle.

ChallengeApathy ,

That sort of risk is one major reason I stopped using MS Auth and went through the painstaking process of manually switching all of my accounts to a FOSS authenticator (Aegis Auth) instead.

ChallengeApathy ,

Rhythmbox and Strawberry are the best, IMO. Rhythmbox has a lower impact on system resources but Strawberry is ideal for people with extensive music collections that you store offline like I do.

ChallengeApathy ,

Yep. I used Winamp (and still do to an extent) but wanted to find a FOSS alternative that I can start slowly leaning into so it’s painless when I migrate to Linux next year. So far, Strawberry is the only one I’ve found that I enjoy using on a daily basis.

ChallengeApathy ,

Try RiMusic on F-Droid. FOSS front-end to YT Music, like having Premium without a subscription. Aside from some crashing and offline downloads issues, it’s great.

ChallengeApathy ,

That’s odd, did you go to an artist’s page directly? I just listen to full albums rather than creating a queue so maybe that’s why I didn’t encounter the issue you’re describing.
