Christian gamer forced back into the realm of nostalgia because of our absurd, post-modern world. “Architect” of the Cyberspace Lounge multimedia project.
It’s wild to me how, when I was a kid, I thought the Gameboy line was the utopian future and we’d never advance because there wasn’t anything that could be cooler.
Then, here we are in 2025, able to create and tweak awesome projects like this!
Right? How dare a parent actually care about their child’s upbringing? It’s 2025, we’re supposed to give our kids an iPad at 3 years old and let Cocomelon raise them.
“Ha your parents don’t even let you do underage drinking, drugs and other shady activities?”
Same argument. You don’t relinquish your authority and protection as a parent because a few losers want to make fun of your kid for being raised with a mom and dad who actually give a crap about their upbringing.
I’ve come to find that people with their hearts in the right place (such as yourself) are often attacked or ostracized on the Fediverse, especially Lemmy.
How DARE a person express traditional values??? How DARE a parent not want to be an iPad parent and let their kids do whatever they want???
It’s mind blowing and it drives me further and further away from Lemmy on the regular. Keep up the good parenting and if I could offer my advice? Find a better place to ask for things like this, because all you’ll get are moronic replies like half the replies here.
I’m not saying I support this legislation but I’m really sick of the “parents should be parenting” excuse. Parents can be doing a great job with their kids and those kids will still see porn because of the way platforms push things (not to mention the ease of access of porn, which just needs to be outright banned).
The only solution, barring well-written legislation, is to not allow your kid to have a smartphone until they’re late teenagers, and ensure their access to computers is restricted to a public room, with appropriate monitoring.
That’s my plan whenever I have kids. However, something tells me a lot of people on Lemmy will take issue with that approach.
Just use Kotatsu (if you’re on Android). Best way to read manga online by far. https://github.com/KotatsuApp/Kotatsu
Yeah, I just feel like for my use case, I didn’t need all of those extra features that LibreWolf has. If people want privacy, it and Mullvad are great Firefox options, but Waterfox is more than solid for people who use it as an alternative for big tech type stuff.
Genuinely have no idea how to dump my games. I have quite a few GameCube and Wii games myself, just wouldn’t know where to start trying the process of dumping.
I switched to Brave Search when I switched to Brave, very pleased with it so far. Its image search isn’t quite as good but otherwise, I haven’t looked back.
Can’t answer for them but for me, sites would break, the cookie management was a pain in the backside, and I hated having it start in windowed literally every time I’d start the browser. It also doesn’t handle containers as well as the original FF addon did.
I switched to it after the Firefox debacle. Brave is my main browser and I used Firefox as an alt, but now it’s just Brave and Waterfox.
It’s not as heavy on the privacy protections as LibreWolf but it’s nowhere near the level of site breakage that I got with LibreWolf. Plus, unlike LibreWolf whose chief maintainer is heavily political and includes those politics in what changes are pushed (another major reason I abandoned Firefox), I have yet to see any blatant political statements or actions with Waterfox.
Considering the fact that I never used Firefox for privacy so much as having an alt to keep big tech sites separate from my main traffic, it works just fine.
If you’re on Android, you really need to use Kotatsu. If one source is taken down, you have a couple hundred other options and it doesn’t change the overall experience.
I genuinely wish nothing but the worst for Denuvo. Scum of the earth. DRM sucks, I do my best to avoid games with Denuvo.
What I’m saying is that it doesn’t matter where the information is. If it’s absolutely crucial information, archive it, but if it disappears from Reddit or wherever, it’s not like someone else will be incapable of asking again, here or elsewhere.
A good first step. FOSS projects have GOT to stop using Discord as their primary engagement and documentation method.
Eh, if the information already exists on the web somewhere, why reiterate it? Seems excessive to insist on asking on the Fediverse unless that information can’t be found on a search engine or through AI.
Privacy is not necessarily anonymity. Signal uses a phone number to prevent spam and DDOS attacks on their network. Session doesn’t do this and got wrecked by DDOS attacks to the point where most of the major groups are pretty much dead.
Use Signal to talk to people you know. That’s what it’s for. You don’t use it for anonymous chats.
No. It’s an advertisement of political beliefs veiled as a retro games post.
“Look at me, I’m a leftist! Oh, and it’s relevant because a retro game made me one, see???”
Give me a break. It’s nothing more than an advertisement.
Yet again, the analogy fails. This is a community themed after retro games. As is on point for the Fediverse, folks can’t resist shoving their political views into everything, then they act as if it’s unreasonable for people to say they don’t appreciate the attention-seeking, echo chamber nonsense in a totally irrelevant community.
Not a weird argument, that’s the same logic you used. Just because some kids might not agree with your decisions as a parent, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make that decision. Caring what others think about your parenting style is exactly why we have so many messed up kids in the first place.
