Hell yeah. Also, support your local library! I know your local library doesn’t have a free for all streaming service, but they lend books and all kinds of media… Just imagine if we could push it to where your local library DID have a Plex/Jellyfin/Netflix-esque service? Just log in with your library card! That’s the dream…

They did, and we’re really up front about it being an opt-in thing, if I remember correctly. Might have started that easy with Microsoft, too. But they can’t resist enshitifying.

Well, shit.

Health!

Nah, you burned that bridge, Sony. I’m not coming back.

We lived in a house with a bunch of roommates when we got our dog, and at some point “fuck off” became “go lie down on your bed and get outta my space”… So now if “go lie down” isn’t taking, then “fuck off” works…

I will check out self hosting searxng

Ah man, same. Thought I’d give it a go after reading about if from Cory…

Honestly, for what I search for, DDG is sufficient, and it’s not gonna hassle me about subscriptions.

What I’d really like to find is something like a pihole for search, where you have your blocklist, cache of things you’ve searched already (your own mini search engine?), and then a fallback engine (DDG, bing, Google, whatever) for things it doesn’t already know.

I dunno. Search and AI botshit is everywhere, and it’s gonna keep getting worse. Self-hosting tools seems to be the only way to take control back.

Feels good to finally be part of the 1%

I wish android natively has a roll back option to un-update apps… But that would be too user-friendly, I suppose.

Sounds like you have a high level of financial stability and trust in the State to not blacklist your wallet eyeball

Yeah, we call it “ruby” for red, “sapphire” for not-red, and more generally “corundum”

And then you open it to find an off-putting empty shelf with a half opened sandwich from the other side of the store…

Yeah

Forgot to mention: controls that don’t suck

You might also ask nicely for folks to send you theirs. Especially since Nintendo is going after Yuzu, I’m sure there’s plenty of folks that would volunteer keys via DM just to stick it to Nintendo…

I’m also in the “my USB Xbox 360 controller is great” camp and wish that they still made them

Just try not to get fakes that are just the normal garbage with drift

Do you want first person factory or third person factory?

Do itttt It’s a great game to lose a few (dozen) hours to
