i happen to still mostly use windows media player on windows 10 LTSC, in my opinion it looks better and runs much better than whatever regular windows has nowadays
of course VLC exists too and is mostly superior, but it doesnt have the cool visualisations for music :(
i still have no clue why people use chrome for the past 5+ years, there’s better chromium alternatives if you still want to use chromium for some reason, and there’s firefox which doesn’t support the chromium monopoly, works really well and doesn’t try to restrict you from using adblockers
And, I guess, in general I am increasingly worried about people with bad opsec. A lot of the “fediverse” discussions are reminding me of the crypto crowd thinking it provides a high degree of security and anonymity because a corporation is not involved. And they really don’t realize just how much power and access instance owners/admins have.
people should always think that everything they post on the internet can be searchable and viewable by anyone, it is public information
i’d give it one or two years before discord undergoes some serious enshittification, with the way most other social media websites have gone down, presumably due to them not being really profitable anymore, im sure discord will start pushing people into nitro more and more as time goes on, i mean as most other platforms discord is already taking advantage of our data, but so did twitter and look where twitter is going now lol
it’s a for profit, proprietary application that doesn’t value your privacy in the slightest, it’s becoming a monopoly over communities and taking over places like forums and instant messaging and is not immune to enshittification
little bit tricky, was only on there for a few weeks but in that time i managed to subscribe to 50 communties and host one, now i gotta redo all of that again which is a minor pain in the ass
i was going to wait a day or two to see if it came back but it looks like it’s still down, made this alt on feddit like 2 minutes ago hoping for vlemmy to come back lol
dammit now im gonna have to resubscribe to like 50 communties

If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now (www.fastcompany.com)
With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.
TIL there is an fediverse alternative to Discord (matrix.org)
