I suggest trying a virtual machine! Some softwares detect this (and there are ways around that too) but mostly it should be seamless!

for something similar to edge, i’d recommend ungoogled chromium. it strips out all of the google garbage. the setup takes a bit of time to get extensions installed, but it’s smooth sailing after that.

if you’re wanting something new, there are many privacy-oriented forks of firefox that can get the job done. one of the common ones is librewolf, but i honestly just stick to normal firefox with ublock origin, container tabs, and noscript.

edit: if anything i said is wrong, please correct me 🙏

oh gosh how is this the worst one /j

lmao

At that point why not just use digital signatures?

Not Gitea, they got bought by a for-profit company or something

I’m not sure how to describe it, so I’ll just give an example. There’s a completely free online game called corru.observer, where all music is available to listen to on soundcloud, where the only support the devs have is to support on patreon/kofi/i don’t remember, or to buy the music on bandcamp.

I love the game, i love the music, and so I supported the game by buying the music.

Beginning work on a full Minecraft server implementation; Other projects seem to be either frameworks (over full implementations) or relatively dead :(

I’ve been super busy as of recent, but I’ll try to remember to reply to you if/when I do :)

You could try Asahi Linux, they’ve been doing lots of work getting Fedora working nicely on the new ARM macbooks :)

small world, i just picked up three of his books from the library today! Very good author!

I don’t think so, but this sounds like a super interesting idea. I might try this later!

oh my god shart is incredible

Well, firefox used to have support for gopher, but maintaining it was too much work and support was removed in firefox 4.0. Even now, with it gopher and gemini being the most popular they’ve ever been, neither of them have built-in support from any major web browser.

Also, it’s not that the creators don’t want people using it, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that they didn’t expect the level of adoption they currently have.

because the point is not broad adoption, the point is not what features it supports, the point is the features that it doesn’t. It can’t track you, it can’t advertise to you (effectively), it’s meant to replicate that pre-corporate-enshittification feeling the WWW once had. The creators never imagined it would get as big as it even currently is.

i think they’re talking about Matrix, which is completely different.

I know this doesn’t answer your question, but using a 3rd party client or modifying the discord client is technically against the discord TOS. They don’t really enforce it unless you’re selfbotting or whatever, but there have been cases where people got banned from 3rd party clients because of a bug within the client that caused apparently bot-like behavior.

The incredibles has a fantastic sound track, kronos unveiled is a masterpiece.
