A big reason I use MPV is because of anime.

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!

I sadly don’t have a list of these anymore, so I’ll be watching this thread for ideas! I’m ready to go back to the way I used to browse the web.

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.

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.

I’m not joking when I say that the compiz cube was the reason I got into Linux back in the day. In hindsight, it was just a neat graphical gimmick, but it was enough to spark my lifelong love for free software.
