Japan is permanently in the '90s (and I love it).

Unfairly? I don’t think you understand the basic fundamental concept of “fair” if you think this is unfair.

This whole post gives “manbaby slams hamfist on table demanding more nuggies and sauce.”

This is 100% untrue and you are making shit up.

Agreed. Until we get full, 100% complete UIs like in Pantheon, this is just Photoshop and a voice synthesizer on crack (not literally, this is an analogy).

I wasn’t trolling, but okay. I probably should stop arguing with a bot designed to astro turf for big corporate data ownership.

Getting a little touchy are we? Try deep breaths, it helps with the anger issues 😉

Ahh there it is, I knew you’d do that.

I abide by my own lectures, I am actively putting effort into it and am 99% of the way there, which is 100% more than you.

Been slowly chipping away at those for the last decade (could have gone way faster but I’m lazy), and I’m almost completely google-free. I dont use any microsoft products at home (work forces me to), and Apple can eat my ass. My phone is a completely de-googled GrapheneOS device (I don’t have an issue relying on companies for hardware, just software), and hopefully in the future a Liberux or Pinephone linux phone.

I self-host my own movies, music, and cloud storage. I also host my own chat service for friends and family, built on top of XMPP. The services i do use are generally very privacy respecting like Signal for people outside of my social sphere, or freedom respecting like Lemmy (mostly weaned off of reddit).

Any time you rely on another company to handle your data, you are beholden to their whims, end of story. Don’t like what they’re doing? Too bad. Give up the convenience and host it yourself, or continue to be a slave to their corporate interests.

You can stream remotely via jellyfin if you expose your server to the internet. VPN is safer but not the only option.

What’s the software?

Wasn’t there a project to continuously mirror YouTube to a peertube instance?

Run it on ancient hardware. If it chokes on computers from the '90s, it’s slow.

Steam’s family sharing and in general even just their single account across multiple devices system plus offline mode has this beat into the ground.

As a Linux gamer, valve making proton has launched gaming on linux into the stratosphere.

There are only giant pickups here due to our stupid laws and regulations. They can’t make tiny pickups because the restrictions say there has to be so much thickness in certain parts of the body, and to be allowed to have poor gas efficiency there has to be so much space in the cab, etc.

Both. Context-dependant.
