  • I do both - I shave with the grain first, and then against the grain to get anything that the previous shave didn't get. Generally I get the benefits of both!

  • The Secret Show - this old British cartoon about secret agents that would go on exciting missions and such! I swear that oversimplified corporate art style took inspiration from The Secret Show!

  • Well, the same kind of WAS said about post-WWII Germany. It was joint-colonised for half a century and ceased to exist as a single independent state until 1989, and even then, German reunification was pretty controversial

  • Didn't Minecraft overtake Tetris years ago?

    I'm pleasantly surprised to see Human Fall Flat here though. I don't hear many people talk about it, but it has a seriously fun multiplayer

  • I have a Fairphone 3, and it definitely does have a headphone jack (unless there are other versions of it that don't)

  • Fantastic news - the UK had to learn the hard way who its real allies and adversaries are

  • Let's give the next generation back their right to giggle at "spotted dick" in restaurant menus

  • Spotted dick

  • Is that true? I'm actually floored by the idea of trying to doxx the Wikipedia editors. That's some of the most shameless anti-intellectualism and psychopathy I've ever heard of.

    But to answer your question directly while I process that, yes, I think moving their location to Denmark or anywhere in Europe would be an absolute victory. The only thing that's stopped me from donating to Wikipedia is the thought that it'd get taxed and Trump would pocket some of it. While financially, the US government may not lose much, it's a massive reputational loss, and sets the stage for other companies to do the same.

  • I've been watching it with friends, and have seen about the first half of it now!

    I'm pretty surprised by how little messed up stuff has happened so far compared to what I've heard about it, but I'm bracing for that second half! In general, I'm liking it a lot and I see why it's been so influential in anime since it came out

  • I recently bought a Fairphone 3 and installed Ubuntu Touch onto it, ditching Android entirely! I spent about 3 days working on this and would strongly recommend buying one of the newer ones with Ubuntu Touch pre-installed, I'm incredibly happy with it, feel freer than ever, and Google's however-much-money poorer for not having my data!

  • Hasn't Telegram being Russian spyware been known for years now?

  • Vivaldi's a good European web browser

  • Thanks for this. I started Linux with Ubuntu, just because being the most popular distro, I figured it would most likely to be compatible with everything. I was just about to make a post asking why the Linux community dunks on Ubuntu, but this graphic explains a lot

  • Ah, yeah that's a yikes

  • I'm not too worried at the moment. Lemmy is much newer and smaller than the social networks we're all used to, as well as being an open source social network. It makes a lot of sense that this site attracts a lot of like-minded people to it. Hopefully as more people join, we'll see more open (respectful) discussion.

    On the flipside, the more people join Lemmy, the bigger of a target it'll be for bot farms and zone-flooding shenanigans, so maybe its smaller size and appeal to specific kinds of people isn't the worst thing in the world either?

  • I always heard about Spotify ripping off artists and thought "well, it can't be worse than YouTube's random demonetisations, can it?" but what's this about it shilling for ICE?

  • I think the first place I stopped using was Amazon way back in COVID times or earlier! I don't think there was any specific thing they did, there just wasn't anything they had that eBay, Onbuy or Argos didn't have, and I don't like to support monopolies if I can avoid it. In retrospect I'm very glad I stopped using it!

    A couple of years after that I stopped using Google and changed to Mojeek and Qwant, when I heard that decent Google alternatives existed.

    A few years later came Xitter. I sort of got peer-pressured into getting Twitter back in the day, I used it as an art dump, and didn't really feel any personal connection to it, so I didn't really feel bad about deleting it the exact day Musk bought it.

    In the last year or so I've started to get serious about alternative tech. After working with Linux for about two years, I finally installed Ubuntu when Windows 10 became end of life last year, I deleted Instagram, I deleted Facebook, I deleted Reddit, and I deleted Whatsapp all within a couple of months of each other!

    A few days ago my phone broke, which gave me the perfect opportunity to order a Fairphone (Linux) phone instead of using Android! I'm really proud of this one, because 99% of phones are specifically made to only run with one operating system, either Android or iOS. That means you can't just install Linux on any phone the way you can with desktops and laptops, making transitioning into a Linux phone way more expensive.

    The main thing I can't seem to shake is YouTube, but even that's been significantly cut down in favour of watching Peertube and my DVD collection!

  • Obviously it depends on what you buy from there, but personally I find Amazon one of the easiest places to avoid, and one of the first places I've started avoiding. I've just been substituting it with eBay and Onbuy, and so far there's nothing Amazon has that they don't.
