Go to a highschool or in my case a softball field and you will find plenty. I hated walking around kids who were doing Tiktoks in my HS hallway cause they’re so fucking entitled. Bathrooms weren’t safe either, people did them there too. My fucking teammates were addicted to it, used to do them at tournaments and hotels frequently.

I’ve never seen Himidaisy art besides the P4 comic that never got finished, wow.

Interesting, I do use Freetube on laptop but it’s been finicky about when it wants to work lately. I figured it was more of YT blocking bs.

I tried Newpipe for Android and it wouldn’t work, so I went to the fork PipePipe which does work better, but at some point I had to login so it could use my API because YT blocked that too. Plus PipePipe can scan NicoNico videos and Bilibili videos.

How good is Freetube on android?

I mean yeah, it’s still pretty much in beta rn.

Not ur fault or anything but I’m a little tired of the people who keep questioning loops and pixelfed on being open source and federated. Like, it’s coming/already happened bro, just chill.

People keep being like “Is Pixelfed FOSS yet?” When there’s literally several 3rd party apps available for the service already (I use Pixelix). Loops app is in beta on Android and iOS, it’ll be open source when it’s not absolute dogwater to run (ngl the UI scroll is painful).

But like it just got funding and new members last week, it will be fully FOSS soon enough…

I’m young and even this has me gagging. Our Switch games definitely don’t look like that, although I do feel box art and blurbs on the back used to entice me more, but maybe that’s just because I’m not a kid anymore. But yeah this is fucking horrendous to look at 🤢

Do android system apps count as bloatware? Cause on GrapheneOS you quite literally start out with the bare minimum on a fresh install.

I haven’t done too much in terms of messing around with system apps besides allowing/denying some permissions with Permission Manager X

Just watched a video a month ago about how Gen Z is doomed to own nothing when we die, and how so many of us are in crazy debt already because of buy now pay later services. So thankful me and my sister are borderline allergic to spending money and that I just hate shopping for clothes because that shit was depressing to hear.

Apparently my gen fell into this debt whole because we think they’re not the “scary & bad” loans that our 2008 financial crisis parents had, these are “different” somehow 😬

Been using YT music Revanced since summer and it’s great. No ads and being able to have my phone off is heaven.

I really don’t get why Spotify people hate YT music and get so elitist about it, it literally has every song to ever exist; if it’s on YouTube, it’s on YT Music. I especially love it cause videogame OSTs are on there and frequently I see people crying “why isn’t it on Spotify?”

This is so cute holy shit 🥹

Okay, thanks. I noticed that minimalistic theme seemed to be a trend with the FOSS launchers, shame they’re so text based. Maybe it’s a sign I need to clean up my home screen lol.

Maybe I should just stick with what I have anyway, no need to clutter my phone 😅

Got any good FOSS/F-droid recommendations? I’m on GrapheneOS and used the launcher it came with (literally just launcher) but I’m thinking I might want something a little more “cuter/aesthetic” that can use icon packs. I do like widgets and apps on my screen, so I don’t like search/text-only launchers.

Octopath Traveler II is great so far, I’m about early-mid game. I played the first, and I felt it was too similar, but the day and night system is great, the characters are still pretty charming, and apparently there’s completely new classes that we can get from randos, which blew my mind when I found my first brand new class. The world design is fucking gorgeous 😍

I finally finished SMT V a few months ago after dropping it for like a year because the super boss made me wanna kill myself. NGL yeah, the game feels grind heavy a bit and every damn battle feels like an uphill one, but the satisfaction I got from winning them was nice. I can’t really see myself playing the game again though anytime soon, but I do want to play vengeance.

Yup, me and my sister did occasional Pokemon battles/trading and Mario Kart races with each other using the Download Play or whatever it was called. I think even 3DS had it, or something similar to that effect. I just wish I had enough friends who actually played Pokemon back then, cause at my elementary school only one friend had a 3DS and played Pokemon. Everyone else was too busy trying to be “cool” and play GTA and CoD 😮‍💨

Even YT on browser for both my tablet and laptop have gotten mad at me and thrown a hissy for forcing me to login. Less of a problem on my Laptop, because I use Freetube to watch on there, and on my Phone I use Revanced. But man, I just hate watching on my Kindle now, because that shit is old and can barely run Firefox (got it via aurora store, not even in the Amazon appstore 😭) and YT on browser is ass. I tried NewPipe and it crashed all the time, so I got the for PipePipe cause I’m a weeabo, and it worked well but now I get the blocked IP every other day. My tablet crashed when I tried to download Revanced YT on there, so I gave up.

If on Android, use Seal, a FOSS app that uses yt-dlp and allows you to download the video in a shit ton of format and stuff. Apparently can even embed subtitles and metadata into the files, although I never do that.

Don’t worry, I’m a gen z who can rollerblade but wants to get better and know cool tricks and shit because I love those game OSTs and wanna pretend I’m one of the characters, despite never having played them (maybe one day I’ll bootleg the JSR games). I also wanna learn how to skateboard to em. I’ll skate in your honor.

I have fucked up loose ankles tho so we’ll see how far I get before I wipeout for the final time

I’m a baby in the FF fandom, 15 was my first ever FF game, although I do know a decent amount due to my mom being a longtime fan since FF6. I found it funny that the game was advertised as “good for newcomers and old fans” cause all I felt was disappointment about my first ever FF game, while my mom sat there pissed thinking about how she wasted money on a day one edition (that we didn’t open till December 2024, lol)

That game… I wanted to like it, but after hearing about how good the previous FFs are, and just knowing how good other JRPG series are, I can’t believe they flopped so hard like that. Good thing is the other games can’t be worse, so that’s nice.

I’ve been dual-booting for about 2 weeks now, and I’ve been spending so much time in Fedora Silverblue because it’s just so nice. I mean, most of the shit I do is browser stuff, so I have no issues there. Most of the time I can get apps to work, but my only gripe is not being able to use NextDNS alongside Proton VPN like I did on my windows computer 😭. I just don’t know how to get it to work, and idk how to revert my DNS settings in terminal back to default instead of NextDNS.

But like everything else is fine, and I can still do my schoolwork.

Upvoting this in place of the post, because I really wanted to like the cute, adorable, caked-up mushroom creature, but didn’t want to agree with this obvious ragebait 😭
