So, this is the place where I'm going to be generally hanging out and trolling around, while my Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Blacksky accounts are going to be primarily art posting accounts, and I also have a Nooki account.

I'm also going to start to be active more on here than on lemmy.org, so I'm making this my primary Lemmy account now.

I'll link the other socials I'm varying levels of active on below, plus my lemmy.org account which I'm demoting to my secondary account if that instance is going to be more unstable from now on.

  • Are there any good modern MP3 players?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure how 'modern' this is, but you could pick up an iPod Video or Classic, whose audio section is still competitive by modern standards, and then flash-retrofit it and Rockbox it.

  • Roblox, Reddit and Discord users compelled to use biometric ID system backed by Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel

    Jump

  • Matrix. Also to a much lesser degree XMPP.

  • Global YouTube outage sees video platform homepage go dark

    Jump

  • The alt front-ends still work.

  • How can we protect kids from the harms of social media without sacrificing everyone's privacy?

    Jump

  • Parental controls have been an effective way for decades. In combination with actually looking over your kids, of course.

  • Where to did people on Bluesky go to?

    Jump

  • I personally migrated to one of Blacksky's public PDSes, namely cryptoanarchy.network, when the main bsky.social PDS introduced a deeply unpopular ToS change back in October of last year, but I've also been actively posting on Mastodon lately.

    And I got no problem moving to Mastodon full-time if the entire ATproto platform ever goes south including for third-party or self-hosted PDSes.

    I killed my Twitter months ago and have no plans of starting one back up.

  • Discord has enshitified, what do we do now?

    Jump

  • Good luck with that on the Fediverse or on Matrix.

  • Good luck KYCing self-hosted instances.

  • Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?

    Jump

  • NileRed is more adult than T-C based on the type of stuff he messes with being super dangerous sometimes, though. Like, I wouldn't want a kid messing around with things like manganese heptoxide or various strong acids or whatever that are super dangerous on their own with adults messing with them, let alone kids.

  • I still must warn that the guy messes with things that are definitely age-inappropriate for kids, though, see the aforementioned sulfuric acid.

  • watching age-restricted videos from youtube without google account

    Jump

  • Age-gated vids are login-walled full stop, and I won't be surprised if the rest of the site gets login-walled at some point too, in addition to the implementation of DRM so you can't download YT vids anymore, nor use alt clients.

  • Leaving spotify, offline music options?

    Jump

  • Thrift shops, dedicated music stores if any still exist in your local area, and even niche online stores like Discogs, among other sellers.

  • Leaving spotify, offline music options?

    Jump

  • Well, for starters you could start buying CDs again and then do your own FLAC rips from those.

  • Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?

    Jump

  • I'd recommend NileRed and NileBlue, if only some of his vids didn't involve things that would be seriously harmful for kids to mess with and that clearly are meant for adults learning chemistry to mess with, eg. like boiling or distilling sulfuric acid to purify it, which of course if hot sulfuric acid gets out of control, you got a massive disaster and easily severe skin burns, for example.

    Otherwise, there should be plenty of science communicators which aren't sellouts that are also age-appropriate for kids to be following along with.

  • Acer and Asus halt PC and laptop sales in Germany amid H.264 codec patent dispute — Nokia wins patent ruling, forcing tech giants to license HEVC codec

    Jump

  • How soon before x264 and x265 end up getting pulled and h.264 and h.265 support gets locked to Windows like is happening with HDMI 2.1 being blocked on Linux?

  • Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?

    Jump

  • Some of those I wouldn't exactly trust as they're going to be mostly pushing agendas from the private equity firms that own them, eg. like Veritasium.

  • What happens when everyone just moves from discord to the public matrix server?

    Jump

  • What do you think is the worst human invention?

    Jump

  • The nuclear bomb, easily.

    .....Proprietary software is a very distant second place.

  • Good thing the Fediverse and Matrix exist, then.
