Plex. I'm not sure if Jellyfin is foss, but if it is, I haven't felt like converting my library. I've put a lot of work into making it just right.
Steam, obviously.
other than video games, I think that's really it. I still use some others, like Spotify, but not primarily, I just like to have options.
That and jokes about refusing to call it X
I pirate. I don't justify pirating. I just do it, because I want things and have the ability to get them for free, so I do that.
I think about this constantly. I'm constantly very upset about it. I've lost friends to cancer and freak accidents, and the loss of the internet is still genuinely the greatest tragedy in my life. The internet is, in large part, nothing more than a series of very customizable and semi-niche subscription packages and big box stores now. VR, particularly VR Chat, is close to/reminiscent of what it used to be like, so I cling to that, Lemmy, piracy, archive.org, and a few other things very tightly, but VR is starting to enter an era comparable to when cable internet started to become commonly available (and full of obnoxious unsupervised children), so it's on its way out; not to mention the continued attempts to ruin the internet archive, which will be, not hyperbolically, the greatest loss to our species since the destruction of Alexandria.
We had it all, and it got bought out from under us, and there's nothing to be done about it. People en masse don't even know what we're missing. I hate it. I'll never get over the obsolescence of specialized forums in favor of social media, in particular.
That an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent being created all of existence, knew everything that would ever happen and everything its creations would ever do, but still either doomed to damnation or lifted up to paradise each one of them as a result of them doing exactly what they'd been programmed to do
Net Neutrality is a dead concept and has been for years, there's no walking it back
Whoa!
It doesn't necessarily work online though cuz you can't hear that I'm saying it in the voice of Joey Lawrence from Blossom
Raytracing is mostly fucked though, otherwise I'd be gaming exclusively on Linux as well. Aside from that though I've never had any issues with Nvidia on Linux.
What else is there for movies and TV tho? 1337x and pirate bay are all I really know, and they're both pretty dubious.
I miss Demonoid so much 😭
The fact that "they're trying to take away my right to take away the rights of others" never stands out as a logic issue to these people says enough
I've done a shitload more than dabble, and I assure you, it didn't end me up here. This is just people who desperately lack critical thinking skills.
I've installed Arch myself plenty of times, and I use Endeavour now just because I don't feel like spending the time. Automation is a wonderful thang.
It's not just that her behavior is harmful, it's that she's creating a whole false reality around it and controlling multiple narratives from every possible perspective. She created/co-opted a movement to go along with the Manson allegations, she moved across the country with her son to reinforce her narrative and used that as a way to hurt her ex husband, she used her power in the role of a child's mother to create a world in which there was a monster they must run away from at all costs to where the kid couldn't even play outside in Tennessee because of the monster in LA... And whenever she's confronted with the idea that what she's done is harmful to anybody she rewrites or reinforces the narrative that she's doing it for the right reasons and deflects any responsibility or awareness that she's done anything wrong (for example, when it looked like she was going to lose custody she suddenly decided it was in the child's best interest to go live with the father in LA, the very city she ran from in order to protect the very child she was taking away from LA).
I'm not saying everybody who hurts somebody is "pathological" or "psychotic". I'm saying ERW specifically exhibits a lack of capacity for empathy, a total lack of self awareness or awareness of the effects of her behavior, and has no concern or even acceptance of those effects as reality when confronted with them, and what she does and how she is is characteristic of ASPD.
Haha Malk as a first run? That had to be a treat.
It's genuinely my favorite game of all time, I only found out about it this year and I'm on my fourth playthrough (only finished twice, abandoned my brujah and am saving it for later cuz I wanted to play Malkavian, now I'm on Nosferatu).
If you like WOD lore on its own, check out Coteries of New York, Shadows of New York, and Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of The Forest. They're incredible visual novels that I found captivating.
Redemption is a mess, but great if you love WOD/VTM and can deal with Doom ripoffs from that era, but it's genuinely frustrating to play a lot of the time. I admit I only love it because I'm a huge nerd more dedicated to the lore than I am interested in actual gameplay.
Swansong is buggy and badly animated, but the story was very enjoyable for me, and I think a lot of the problems people have with it are more... Let's say, things to complain about in a YouTube video, than issues actually worth being upset about as a fan.
The rest are basically text adventure novels, they're great but it's ultimately just reading a book in which you make choices about the direction (which Coteries and Shadows also are, but accompanied by absolutely gorgeous artwork and dynamic backgrounds).

I'm using Connect because Jerboa ended up having some issues, what are some good foss lemmy apps?
This seems to act like games and their default difficulty options are commandments carved in stone when they're not. If I find a game to difficulty to enjoy and then find it enjoyable by cheating, that's what I'm gonna do.
