A big reason I use MPV is because of anime. I forget exactly what the reason was back in the day, but I can remember MPV being better at playing certain formats, and fan subs of anime are early adopters of new codecs. In addition, there is a very healthy ecosystem of plugins related to language learning, which again ties back to anime.

Ruffle is one of the most important pieces of game preservation currently out there, and it warms my heart to see it constantly improving!

The Cup Noodles stir fry line has been my favorite recently. It’s not anything fancy, but I like how you don’t end up with a broth when you’re done with the noodles.

I feel like there’s been a growing number of “shit windows does” posts on lemmy recently. It makes me glad I dropped that OS long ago.

I hope no one at Apple takes this opinion seriously. The security of Apple hardware and software is one of its major selling points for me. The MINUSCULE amount of time it takes to click a button allowing permissions is very much worth the security and transparency it provides.

Another option you may consider, if you’re already open to using Apple technology, is a MacBook. It would be like having a Mac mini with a built-in battery. I’m not sure if you already have batteries in your setup, but all of Apple’s current lineup of laptops are basically equally as performant as their desktop options right now (excluding the super high end stuff like the Mac Pro).

A stable time loop.

I currently use brave on iOS to block YouTube ads. Is there any other option right now? I’d be willing to switch.

This is the correct answer that so few of us realize. We as a people are able to do more than one thing at once. Yes, we should still vote for the lesser of 2 evils, AND we should also make progress to improve the system itself.

While I agree that it would be nice to only have one app installed in order to chat with everyone, the fact that it’s not open source makes me question the privacy involved. I’ve already sold my soul to these individual chat apps. I’d rather not compound that problem.
