Oh I’m all for shitting on Brave, and I didn’t bother to give this list a look anyway because Librewolf is my goat. But that’s so fucking cringe lol. It’s a shame that so many websites, including Privacy Guides where I essentially started my journey into FOSS and learning about alternatives to Big Tech, recommend brave. Like if someone TRULY had to use chromium, I’d tell them to just stick with Ungoogled, as I don’t know enough about Vivaldi. But like that should be an absolute last resort choice.

But the main issues was the commentor didn’t notice it was Alphabetic lol.

Shhh, there has to be a secret agenda to everything!!! Let me have this, lemming! 🥺

Cuties was about real human girls for actors, not fictional characters. And that’s not to say that people shouldn’t give weird anime side eye, but like these are literally two different things. One is based on morals and the other should literally send you to jail.

My dumbass was thinking of the Nujabes song with Cise Starr, and was confused about the lyrics. Never heard this bar until that song anyway.

Sheesh, you schooled me. I genuinely didn’t think it had the option for them, especially since I tried to test it with libredirect’s crx file. Is it because you have to enable developer mode in the chrome flags?

Tbh I think the only thing about Liquidass I hate is the transparency and lighting. If they wouldn’t make that shit see through reflective glass with white text on top, it would actually be kinda fire and pretty. But it’s a fucking eyestrain for non-visually impaired people, so I imagine it must be torture for the visually impared.

But i like rounded corners, I like the smooth feel to it, and I do like (minimal) shininess. The clay look of the apps is pretty cute too. But I hate Apple anything so I’m here on GOS with the flat Material You design, which is a smidge cute and “arts-and-crafts” like, but could use more pop.

Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave has got your back. They’ve got full on boob window and open stomach options for both Avatars. I think even thigh window, but I can’t remember.

Nah, Cromite doesn’t allow extensions. Other than the built in ones, it doesn’t do extensions. There was another Chromium android browser that could do extensions, Kiwi I think. But it was a smidge shady how it did its search queries so I’d avoid it.

And side note: Cromite’s Fdroid repo link is shot. It’s been down for me for month, and I tried disabling VPN or switching to other countries and i either get a timeout or not found error, similsr to this forum post. So like I’d have to keep downloadong apks to keep it up to date, and I’d rather just pray every website i use works on FF than do that.

Hold up, you about to make me actually pop this disc in my Wii U real quick and verify this. Not like I’m complaining cause Smooth Moves was peak.

I mean, I know what it’s like to have “tourists” invading your space after some trend blows up, but there could very much be a new wave of people who have grown to love or enjoy a sea shanty or two now. If people aren’t introduced to something, how would they ever know they like it?

If a person liked a venre enough to make a playlist, I’d say they’re enough of a fan. It’s like people who are discovering the fun in “classical” (baroque, classical, romantic, etc.) music.

Little late, but musicbrainz is an organization that runs an open-sourced, crowd-sourced, music database!

They develop a tool called Musicbrainz Picard that you can use to automatically tag your music and keep your music library organized.

I also use their scrobbling/music history tool called Listenbrainz to replace my dependence on YT music history. Listenbrainz will pull from the Musicbrainz’s database to find the song info. You can get your yearly “wraped/rewind/review” but also weekly and monthly stats, fav genres, fav artists by country, etc.

especially with the website plugins

🧍‍♀️

What. Does Musicbrainz have plugins to make importing/adding a release from Bandcamp easier? If so I would gladly appreciate a link to said plugins. Or are you talking about musicbrainz picard to make tagging your downloaded music easier? I do love and frequently use Picard for my library.

Lmao somehow it originally posted to maymays, but okay…

TIL Klarna is Swedish. But they’ve been popular in the US since before/around COVID.

Anyway, Klarna is a shitty by-now-pay-later (BNPL) payment service that allows you to “finance” everyday pruchases on websites. Don’t you love it when you go into debt over paying for your Temu clothes, your video game DLC, and your Amazon Fresh purchases?

Femtanyl fans rise up.

I gotta note them down for next Bandcamp Friday…

IP law in JP is absolutely atrocious, Japanalysis did a video a bit ago about it. Like, WIKIPEDIA can’t even use official images or merch for their pages, so they just use shitty pics similar to the thing, like this pic of a dude cosplaying Squirtle:

Youtubers/streamers can get sued for revealing the whole plot of a game I guess, so don’t play too much of an RPG or Visual Novel game… Actually, Atlus, a Japanese companu owned by SEGA, put a gameplay limit on Persona 5 when it first came out and told streamers that they couldn’t stream past a certain date! Scarlet Nexus did similar “no streaming” shit but like, on the whole game and I think it flopped lol.

For some weird reason, Doujinshi (self published manga) is allowed and flourishes, despite it literally being just fan manga/comic/fiction of some other media. And like, WILD fan depictions too (All those yaoi doujin of Naruto, Ace Attorney, Hetalia, etc.). I love doujin but it’s fucking hypocritical imo to get mad at people for posting official content on a damn wiki site but let them sell manga of characters fucking 😅 i should research the reason honestly.

Idk if it really does affect how these companies respond but it fucking sucks to keep killing fan projects, ESPECIALLY if they make no money. I get why anything that makes money shouldn’t have a copyrighted IP or material in it but companies will be assholes.

I hope all of those water bug fuckers rot in hell and die. That or just get the fuck out of my house 😭

Like do I need to start raising frogs or some shit? How many offerings must I make to the centipedes in hopes that they eat those things?

Yeah, I use uBlock lite on my work computer since i don’t want to have to fight websites for hating FF. It works perfectly fine for your regular everday purposes.

Did some very light searching and it seems to be each country has it’s own thing going on. I know LINE is super popular but it’s mostly only in Japan (and kinda Korea too), while Korea has Kakao Talk. India and SEA region countries apparently love WhatsApp but Telegram does make up the lesser half of the traffic too.

But yeah WeChat and other Chinese apps have huge userbases but are pretty much only used by Chinese people. Hell, each country/region basically just uses their messaging app. Some of these apps have 97-99% of internet users and 90+% of the country’s ENTIRE POPULATION using that app to communicate. It’d probably be devastating if the service ever had a blackout for some reason.

The USA has a way bigger variety it seems, the highest market share for messaging apps is WhatsApp but only at 25%. The top 3 is WhatsApp, Discord (23%), and Telegram (20.8%). The other 30.1% of the market is a mosaic, Messenger, Snapchat, even Teams for some godforsaken reason. But hey, Matrix and Viber are 0.4%! At least they made the chart…

Hell, first poster’s name is a little too on the nose for the post too lol. I mean it COULD be a joke account but not sure. I hate Threads and have never used it, so finding this account is probs to hard for me… Idk what the “tweet/post” layout looks like on there. Is there a thread logo on the main post and a heart on replies?
