It’s scary that the Unity debacle is not just happening in games but a very real threat not just in digital and app space but in real life.

It can happen in medicine, housing, even the food we eat if the trend of subscriptions and lock ins continue.

Despite this, a global concerted effort towards Open Source tech is still not happening.

In Unity for example, there is a push to transition to Unreal but less so for Godot. We see this happening with reddit too. And soon maybe we’ll see it in real life. What’s stopping our hotels and landlords from charging us everytime we open doors.

We see this in the rampant mandatory tips. Where everyone is automatically charged per order.

It’s scary and frustrating at the same time that there may not be a clear remedy for this. As the world shifts to subscriptions and services, do we truly own anything anymore?

Was tinkering with userchrome and sidebery this day and it got me thinking how others has their firefox customized. Let's bring the fun back to firefox. Share your screenshots. :)

So far, I tried Tabliss, Momentum and currently toying with Taskade. But the "unmodded" one is nice, too as it's faster. I'm wondering if anyone here has some opinions.

It's not just lemmy that's benefiting from Elon Musk.

The hype!!! :) I’m so excited :)

Do you see them as anticipation? Or just unnecessary stress in reading fanfics? Have you dropped fanfics that ended in cliffhangers?

There are some fanfics that majority wouldn’t like but you personally enjoy. At the top of my head, an overpowered M.C or turning the main character into an O.P one is a guilty pleasure.

High school fics are another one. Which to me evokes a degree of nostalgia for my younger years.

How about you?

With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Given the chance that you can talk to your younger self. It might help others who are lurking here too :)
