I hope not. We’re just at a point where we can emulate Switch games easily

Privacy is tricky. I’ve seen complaints that anything you post stays forever. But honestly, is that what you consider private?

Do you think it’s more private to make and delete posts than to just use a VPN and an anonymous account? Having the ability to delete posts doesn’t help your privacy at all. At least there’s no advertisers being sold all our data.

And the chat thing really needs fixed. But for quick one-off messages, it’s fine. Maybe just too exchange secured accounts

My first server was a Lenovo Thinkpad T420. It was given to me for free from my job. It did great. Built in screen, mouse/keyboard, and a built in UPS. Eventually I upgraded my server, and my new one has none of those.

Factorio. And the game before that? Factorio. It’s a good game.

Mostly, I’ve downloaded all my music and stream through Navidrome. But I’ll use above in a pinch.

Personal library is 0 compromise, except for the convenience. There are plenty of songs in my library that aren’t on Spotify or any other. All my music is FLAC. Uncensorable. I get star ratings and favorites.

Yeah, that’s horrible. I’ve even met a lot of christians who really hate Catholic people.

I’m hosting Photoprism, now. But man, do I just barely use it. I’m not a photographer, and I always have the worst camera of anyone around me, so I’m never taking pictures. It’s running, and I’m not taking it down. But it did teach me to use docker compose. I switched everything I had after that.

Matrix was one that was hard to justify. It was just too heavy. My dream has always been “use one app for all communication”. I bridged Signal, Discord, and Facebook. Problem number 1 was that SMS is like impossible to set up. Problem 2 no one uses Signal except me and my wife. Problem 3 was that my Facebook got flagged for suspicious activity, and they wanted my ID to recover it. I used this as a chance to ditch Facebook, but I also ditched Matrix at this time. Signal supports SMS, so I could do more with it than Matrix. I’ll probably try again down the line.

My most used service is definitely my music service, Navidrome. You might try it, it’s very light. I used to keep all my files on my phone like you. And my phone had an SD slot, so storage wasn’t an issue. But I couldn’t listen from any of my computers, or at work. After I made the switch, I painstakingly re-‘aquired’ all of my music in FLAC, and have my phone set with a size limit of music to cache, as well as always downloading my favorites.

As I understand, most iphone users do have issues. I remember hearing that people with Androids in their selfies are measurably less likely to match on Tinder

I started with Photoprism, and once I got a workflow I liked, it’s been hard to try anything new.

I synching my camera folder into a temp folder. I already run synching for my passwords and stuff, so getting the immich app would be a another app that’s always running.

When immich adds file directory watching, I’ll probably try it again

Exactly what I did. I put Lemmy in it’s place

You might look into funkwhale. It’s a fediverse app for music

How does it compare to Last.FM? This is currently my main method of new music, with a number 2 being word of mouth.

What was fun as a kid was battling. My friend and I would hang out for a day, start a run of Pokemon emerald or diamond/pearl, and meet back the next weekend to battle

I will start pronouncing bike like nike

Huzzah!! Thank you so much

They can build an activitypub compliant app and service? They don’t have to touch the open source project.

Apple has an amazing amount of influence. They could easily make the platform, and break it in an instance whenever they felt like it.

You can contribute. File bug reports. This is the most important thing just people can do.
