Which launcher to use? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've tried lawnchair and kvaesito. Lawnchair was good feature-wise but it is really glitchy and would break a ton of times. Kvaesito is not a traditional launcher but rather search-based which is not my thing. I've also heard about Niagara but I haven't tried it and it's also closed-source so I don't really want to use it. Are there any up-to-date open source launchers with a decent amount of features other than the ones I've mentioned?

While I have no problems with let's plays, I still feel like they're kinda subjective. No commentary playthroughs are on the opposite end of the spectrum but I feel really really bored watching them and I can't say the same for let's plays.

Hopefully so, the gaming market in my area has gotten rough. Maybe it'll calm down for the future but that's likely not gonna happen too soon. I'm thinking of passing the time without a PC for now. I don't think I'll able to afford a PC for a few years at best. Sorry for making it sound too dramatic in the post.

I sold my PC yesterday because of financial struggles and as far as I'm aware, I would probably be unable to buy a PC or console ever again. That said, I still want to somehow experience the games I would otherwise want to play on PC. I'm thinking of watching let's plays but of course, that's not the same as actually playing them. For those in the same boat, what do you do? Do you just let go? Or maybe watch playthroughs? I'm curious.

I've seen a lot of memes/jokes related to moths looking for lamps. Why does the community love these memes? What's the point?

Sorry for asking too many questions but is lutris's version of proton different from Steam's proton? Like if a game has, say platinum rank, on protondb, should I expect that game to run on lutris with proton as well?

I don't even know if this is allowed here but frankly, I don't care. I have seen conflicting guides on how to play cracked games. Some say to use lutris/wine, some say to use proton with steam and add the cracked games to steam though that carries a significant risk of a ban. So to all Linux pirates, how do you do this?

Yeah tbh I don't actually use adobe products at all. I only want windows and games so that's why I asked this question in the first place, piracy also included of course.

What about games? Do you only play Foss?

To clarify, I use FMHY as my piracy wiki. Also, does disabling my internet also prevent connection of pirated software or no?

Video games are an exception though, right? FOSS games exist but they're not as good as indie games or good AAA games, the developers aren't too dedicated because there is no direct benefit. Don't get me wrong, almost all FOSS games are great but I don't think they're overwhelming the former any time soon. I also want to talk about operating systems and this is where most people will disagree with me but I believe that a pirated enterprise windows edition (from masgrave) is better than linux gaming-wise. I pirate games and playing pirated games on Linux is a bit harder than playing them normally IMO. This is the main reason I prefer using windows, once again PIRATED LSTC WINDOWS. Privacywise, you can also remove a lot of telemetry on LSTC too.

Pirated and OS software are different things, obviously. But would you prefer one over the other? I'm thinking of switching to both OS software AND pirated software. Just want opinions and tips from this community.

The UI seems overwhelming to a noob like me. How do I make it so that the screen doesn't turn off when a certain app is open with a battery limit?

Late reply but is there any FOSS alternative to Macrodroid/Tasker? As far as I'm aware, there really isn't.

Any good privacy guides? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've checked out PrivacyGuides itself, the new oil and SSD. These all seem a bit too advanced/complex to me, I want something simple and secure, preferably open-source too. Any help would be appreciated.

Any good mobile games? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I would really love to kill some time on my phone. The games I have tried include: Slay the spire, shattered pixel dungeon, unciv, dead cells. Other than that, are there any solid phone games or otherwise ports, paid or not?

[-] darkguyman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 months ago

Can't argue with that.

I've seen a lot of people on the community say that brave is bad and has made quite a lot of questionable decisions. But Firefox itself also has made equally bad decisions. Mozilla has faced ongoing criticism regarding their default settings, their approach toward users, the high compensation of their CEO at over $3 million USD annually, and their investments in various companies that may not align directly with their core mission. Additionally, there have been instances where Firefox has implemented a temporary, one-time tracker that transmits certain data to Google during the initial installation on Windows or Mac systems. Brave has also undoubtedly made such decisions as well but the point here is that Both Firefox AND Brave have made questionable decisions and to specifically dunk on brave just because it's chromium is unfair in my opinion. That's all, thanks for reading my post :)
