I'd like to add to the sentiment of this post by saying that if you ever used any of those amazing websites, I'm sure the developers will highly appreciate it if those with the means could consider contributing to their projects.

We all know how greedy and shameless YouTube can be, and yet those developers give us incredible products for free. And if you ever saw the entitled requests of some users on their projects' pages whenever YouTube implements some changes, and they have to rush to fix their code, I'm sure you would appreciate them even more. I've personally seen quite a few projects being abandoned because of the sometimes thankless job of being a developer, and I would hate it for any of these to suffer a similar fate.

So if you can and are willing, feel free to join me in contributing to:

• Invidious
• Piped
• LibreTube
• FreeTube

Lmao serious 'fuck you' energy.

Out of curiosity I went to the project's page and saw more info on why they don't take donations:

Free. Open-source. For users by users. No donations sought. If you ever want to contribute something, think about the people working hard to maintain the filter lists you are using, which are available to use by all for free.

I honestly can't understand why in a world of open source alternatives, one would be OK with an option that shows you ads in exchange for spying on you

What about all the other comments in this post that keep pointing out that the author of the comic is a Nazi? You really seem not to care about that detail

That just makes no sense. Next you'll tell me that onions have no business in making my Tor experience more anonymous either?

More than happy to monetarily support this amazing open source project with monthly contributions! Thank you to all the devs involved in running this platform

Then let's get ready for a ww2 game where you save Nazis instead of killing them. And then you shoot the American troops and call them "woke libs" /s

For China, I would also add the social credit score which relies a lot on facial recognition...a real nightmare

By the same logic, if I were to show you a photo of a child kissing a puppy, you'd be able to "demonstrate" that all humans are children and essentially loving and caring creatures? That logic is not logic-ing, friend

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

I also often question whether the thing I'd like to post needs to be posted (and in the process, I talk myself out of it)

Welcome! Stay a while and have a hot coco

You can take your pick from this mega thread. Hope it helps!

Considering most .world users are (former) Reddit users, it makes sense they'd get easily spooked by *insert thunder noises and ghost sounds:

MARXISM! UuUuHh!!

That platform has turned quite to the right with their moderation and acceptance

Seriously! I am so tired of watching events that keep happening always within the same 50 years or so. With a whole universe and the possibility of going backwards/forwards thousands of years just for fun, MORE Luke and Leia is just a nuisance at this point.

Some people do. There are options (like Proton) that offer good services that respect their users and their privacy and I personally like to support that

I just found this yesterday so I cannot properly give a review on it, but I found Logseq which seems to be a privacy-focused knowledge management and collaboration platform. It seems very promising and reminds me somewhat of Obsidian

I personally use OSS Document Scanner.

It has different dictionaries, can scan docs/papers and archive them. Can also translate and extract text (to an extent). It works great for my needs, hopefully it is what you were looking for too

They really didn't even try that to be honest. Bethesda has remained far behind and they don't seem interested in changing direction sadly

As someone who also just started out with Warhammer 40k (and also got onboard a few friends with this lol) I’d say the Eisenhorn trilogy is a great place to start.

It's basically a space thriller. And while extended lore is present, it's not required to enjoy the story. Whathever is mentioned gets explained and makes the whole trilogy very beginner-friendly.
