If it isn’t able to federate to other servers and/or services, like kbin to lemmy and such, without 3rd party tools like the bluesky bridge thingamajig, absolutely not.

My bank app does the same and will most likely log me out if I end up switching to a different app. I don’t mind because I’d rather have that happen than have a stranger come up, steal my phone while unlocked, and be able to access my bank details (no matter how unlikely that scenario is).

To see the chaos, definitely some place like yt. Imagine you are watching an hour long video essay about something you love but you have to keep interacting with the website/app in some way that disrupts the video every 5 or so minutes or else you get locked out and require 2FA every time.

I imagine after a long enough time, the lazy people would just quit going and using their service all together. I know I would.

The horrors of having your TV record Gigli!

For AI bots, yeah maybe, but that sure as hell ain’t gonna work on a real person who is using deepfake tools to fake their appearance for a live video call.

Absolutely wild stuff, but definitely not unexpected. Scammers gonna scam, just now they have some of the greatest tools to scam people.

Sometime in maybe 2021-22 I messed up something on a shitty laptop of mine at the time. Changed something on win10 and was trying to fix it to get admin privileges back on the single account on there. Some website recommended flashing Ubuntu onto a thumb drive and entering some commands on the live boot. Didn’t work out and I didn’t wanna go through with a fresh win10 install for close to, if not, $100 for everything. Ended up with Ubuntu 20.04 installed because I wanted to use that laptop.

I’ve since tried many and currently have MX on a better laptop. At some point I’m gonna try to either find something new I can learn so that way by October I can make my desktop have a priority Linux boot with an internet disconnected win10 partition, or just go with Mint or MX. Definitely got a small list of distros I might wanna try, so we’ll see.

The whole From 104GB thing just tells me to stick with the original. Any game more than 20GB and it ain’t being installed on anything I own.

Either way, no surprise considering how big of a game this is, even if it is a remaster of a beloved classic so old that children have grown up only knowing every version of Skyrim released on everything from consoles to your mom’s smart vibrator.

So far, as a more casual user, using the preconfigured Plasma on MX, I have had only minor grievances that truly effect me and only somehow only broke it maybe 1-2 times.

Jam Hsiao because I really like his energy and his music. Only major hurdle would be the language barrier between, if we don’t include the nervous energy I’d most likely radiate.

If they do, that makes it 300x easier for me to decide who never to buy from again.

I wish all members of ACE a very hacked servers filled with pirates content clogging them every moment possible.

Closest I’ve come is recently getting a random call and then the majority of the robocall voicemail is garbled garbage

I’ve been eyeing that one. Ever since maybe a couple months ago I’ve haven’t been liking Auxio as much due to UI changes and Symphony has definitely caught my eye.

Edit: I was thinking something else, but Symphony looks promising after giving it a look at on f-droid.

Had to look that one up, and it brought back memories of seeing ads for that specific one being used to advertise Webtoons.

The ads definitely made it seem like it was supposed to be read in app so they could do panels with a little animation in some panels here and there, so if that’s how they’re meant to be viewed, that would 100% be awkward for a physical adaptation.

1. I’ve read plenty of manga, so I’m more familiar with them and how I feel is definitely dependent on the writing and art style. Bakuman (from the creators of Death Note)? Love it for the art style and story. I also love how it shows you how the mangaka industry works to a degree, from the standpoint of close to 2 decades ago now at least. Currently don’t have a manga series in my collection I don’t like, so can’t say anything about one I dislike currently.

2. I have not read any manwha besides a series I have the first 2 books of called Zero/Six. I don’t really care for the whole webtoons thing since I’d rather collect a physical copy of a series for something of similar style to a manga.

Side note: I have reservations about continuing to read Zero/Six considering I just looked at volume 1 to confirm something and I was right when thinking I remembered Hitler being in the book. He’s literally the main characters German teacher and within the first page we see him he’s literally called Hitler (looks exactly like him too) and does a Nazi salute after beating a students ass with a wooden stick(?). I get the book was originally published in the 90s and translated in the mid-2000s, but that’s definitely a pretty big red flag for me on an otherwise pretty good series.

3. Manhua is the one I’d say I definitely have the absolute least experience with. Closest I have is finding some translated Fei Ren Zai 4 panel manhua online. Props to the creators of that manhua and the donghua because I like them for some of the comedy and random short skits. Not much else to say.

The hilarious thing is you know that Rickey Rats or HBO Minimal or Netflops wouldn’t agree to getting rid of IP laws… unless it doesn’t apply to them and their IP.

Almost every single show I watch. I’m weird in that I almost never can skip a TV show intro. Only exception I can think of right now is the short continuation of Batman the Animated Series they did just before Batman Beyond since they didn’t change the intro to match the show.

The only reason I know they exist is because Sonic Adventures 2 trivia videos. That, and I’ve seen them while playing SA2, but those are very hazy memories from when I was maybe 5-6 years old.

Sonic The Hedgehog (Sonic '06) is an absolute gem of a game in its original buggy mess form it released in. The bugs and frustration they cause only add onto the charm.

Also, the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (not SatAM) cartoon is just as good, if not slightly better, than SatAM due to the absolutely goofy atmosphere. Some of the jokes in Adventures were great. Absolutely loved the joke on Sloww Going where they had Tails writing down whatever Sonic said they needed to rebuild a house for a family of sloths and when Sonic goes to look back at what he wrote, it’s nonsense and Tails has to remind Sonic that he’s only 4½ years old and doesn’t know how to write yet.

Saw a video pop up in the incognito mode thing for yt about Tails being a savage and I found a comment that absolutely resonates with why I absolutely LOVE that version of Tails as well and why he’s the best version of tails ever. They were saying how his personality really makes him feel like a little kid without a filter. Absolutely the best Tails ever, so I 100% agree with that comment.
