My man

Kodi with a Real Debrid subscription for me.

Instantly paid for the ad free version even though I’m rocking an ad blocker. This is a pristine app, every bit as good as the original Reddit app.

$170 AUD for a lifetime “ultra” license.

I am a long time Solid Explorer user and I’ve tried MiXPlorer a few times but always went back to Solid. What does MiXPlorer do that Solid can’t?

I’m waiting for one with an OLED screen and good battery life. New models are coming out all the time and I’m excited to see what’s available in a year or two.

lol holy shit.

Sadly I can’t foresee a future where social media isn’t a dominant force. Like what could possibly displace it at this point? Only dismantling GAFAM could make it work.

Yes I am aware of the irony of posting this comment on social media.

People still throw OCD around like they’re the world’s quirkiest person “oh that’s just my OCD lol”

True blue battler!

Blokada was a massive system hog when I used it. Switched to using NextDNS and it’s so much better. Not sure if it would remove ads from Spotify though.

Hey yo I also type 50/50 in Japanese and English and came here wondering if there were any Gboard alternatives out there yet.

Unsatisfactory for what? The only things I can’t find on RD are occasional really old or foreign films/shows. Even then there’s usually at least a 480p version if I’m really desperate. I have considered switching to Usenet before but it seemed super complicated.

if I say I’m not interested In something they take no notice and send it to my recommendations again regardless.

omg yes fuck this. I constantly get fed entire categories of videos on games which I actively hate; I have never watched a single video for any of them and have said “not interested” to probably 50+ videos, but they still pop up every day.

Totally this for me and I’m someone who understands how bad Google is. I’ve been using the same Gmail account for twenty years. It’s such an integral part of my everyday life. I have hundreds of stars on maps, a meticulously organised and synced Drive, all my YouTube favourites and subscriptions, Photos that are all mostly geotagged, etc. Degoogling would just be such a major hassle, and all my stuff would never be as nicely integrated ever again.

I’ll check it out. Kodi definitely does take some nerdy configuration. BTW Fen is much faster than Seren, give it a try.

With the Fen add-on linked with Trakt.

I use Kodi with a subscription to Real Debrid. Are these options better?

I’m very tech-literate but Discord has always seemed so fucking messy to me. So many channels and emojis and I barely know how to send someone a DM or add them to my friends list or whatever. How on earth are you supposed to keep track of anything?

I honestly hardly even play retro games, but for some reason I love getting controllers. I use the official controllers with my PS4 and PS5, but I also have two 8bitDo SN30 Pros, and 8bitDo Ultimate BT which I use for PC and Switch, and even an arcade stick somewhere (I made a promise to myself that I was gonna pick a fighting game to get good at, but never did).
