I’ve done a lot of de-enshitification in my digital life over the past year, most recently by de-google my phone. I’m going to be honest: It’s not easy, nor convenient, and a lot of the time not cheap. You really have to go out of your way to get what you want, sacrificing at least something a long the way (features, usability, etc). It takes quite a bit of desire and determination to move away from the modern garbage that these companies shove your way, and I’m honestly not sure if it’s worth it for the average person because of the massive amount of effort that it takes.

All of the above is to say that if you really want to avoid enshitification you’re gonna have to make changes, such as buying a different set of peripherals for your pc, and that it’s not gonna be easy. The real question is: is all of that work worth it for you?

For me it 100% has been.

Yeah trying to find anything on any of the competing apps is basically impossible. I mean ffs OSMand literally couldn’t do address lookup!

I bought my black and white brother laser printer in 2018. I’m still using the same printer and the sample toner it came with in 2024. Literally zero issues ever, still prints fantastically. I just send it a print job once every 3-4 months and get a paper out of it with no fuss.

I use both. More memes more fun

So honest question, cant you do the same exact thing with less than half the effort by just streaming to twitch it discord?

Why… not just stream on discord? You’re already using it. This honestly seems like a lot of extra work for very little pay off.

Because no one knows it exists lmao

That’s cool and all, but who exactly is gonna watch it? Like it’s a fine idea, but there’s literately no point.

You could also just find the promps online and paste them in.

Come to linux, we have the ability to update every 10 seconds or never, entirely your choice.

I love freelancer, it’s my favorite old space sim. I’m honestly super surprised that both discovery and crossfire are still being developed/played seeing as it’s almost been 20 years!

Perhaps one day star citizen (specifically squadron 42) will pick up this mantle like Chris promised originally. Until then I’ll keep coming back to this game every few years to mess around.
