What goes good with American Cheese?
Grilled cheese - American cheese is the only way i enjoy a grilled cheese. Also, Black Forest ham and American cheese sandwich with lettuce tomato and mayo on a baguette or other real tasting bread.

Why all of a sudden tech companies are not being favorable to their users?
AI training and data mining. The value of data has surpassed the value of oil long ago. The world's most valuable resource is no longer oil.

Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap?
I contribute where I can, nothing significant.
However, nothing beats Apple maps IMO. I have an iPhone which I hotspot data to and basically only use it as a GPS when driving. I can't use my Android device as I prefer using Apple CarPlay and GrapheneOS does not support Android Auto.
I use Magic Earth or OSMand when I don't have my iPhone with me.

What is your favorite open source software?
Favorite? Hm... I would have to say Codeigniter (PHP framework) but I love these projects as well: Linux/GNU, VLC, LibreOffice, qBittorrent, VSCodium, Filezilla, GIMP, Firefox, Wireguard, GrapheneOS, Matrix, F-Droid.
If I won the lottery I'd donate to these projects or their respective foundations.

Team Fortress 2 reaches new player count record at 250k players
Great, more bots... Did they fix the horrible bot problem? I haven't played in 6+ months due to this.

Be honest, do you still use reddit?
I have always lurked Reddit, I have never made an account. With Lemmy, I contribute instead of lurk as I feel I have a part to play in it's early growth for it to succeed. But that being said, I occasionally check the front page and a few specific subreddits but not quite as frequently since I joined Lemmy.
Oh, and when I do, I use LibReddit to view reddit, so nothing even official.

Hm, maybe that's it. Either way, I hope a more seamless blending of servers is on Lemmy's roadmap.

That is exactly why I choose to use FOSS including Linux. As much as I want to standby this principle, I have come to a breaking point after dealing with its issues, issues we have all experienced. I believe it is hands down the best choice for server use, but for work and productivity, I need something more matured that is going to work out of the box. I am glad that the community here took this criticism well but I think it's important to discuss and understand that there are still some strides to be made. But at the end of the day, I'm just some guy ranting and who knows, maybe I'll be installing a Linux distro after a month of using Mac OS.

Sounds like this is the way I'm going to go. I'll try the hackintosh route to test the waters before shelling out on a Mac if I decide so.

Does Anyone Host a Discord Alternative? Like a Matrix/Synapse Server?
Check out rocket.chat
It is what my company uses. It is free and open source. Same features as Discord. Not too difficult to setup.

Invidious gets C&D from YouTube [UPDATED]
Aw man. This is how I watch YouTube videos :(
I love these privacy-friendly front ends for big tech websites. I guess it was only a matter of time before Go.ogle started fighting Invidious/Piped instances.
If you haven't already checkout the plugin called "Privacy Redirect" for Chrome/Firefox. There's also an android app version called UntrackMe (I think?). They basically intercept YouTube/Twitter/Reddit links and redirect them to privacy-friendly instances.

Yeah the telemetry in M$ Windows is what is stopping me. I have no need for Windows, I don't play many games. I do agree with the Apple hardware argument, I am thinking of doing a hackintosh to test the waters.

I will never stop using Linux, special place in my heart. But for my primary work machine and daily driver, I need something that is just going to work.

I am using a Thinkpad with Ubuntu LTS. From the few bugs I did research, they're reported but seem pretty stale.

Will fediverse ever be a thing?
I think the idea is awesome. The only main issue I see is user growth. I guess with time the user base could grow, but if it stays stagnant, there will be a lot of abandoned communities and users will continue to come and then go.
