I suggest trying a virtual machine! Some softwares detect this (and there are ways around that too) but mostly it should be seamless!

😭💅✨

for something similar to edge, i’d recommend ungoogled chromium. it strips out all of the google garbage. the setup takes a bit of time to get extensions installed, but it’s smooth sailing after that.

if you’re wanting something new, there are many privacy-oriented forks of firefox that can get the job done. one of the common ones is librewolf, but i honestly just stick to normal firefox with ublock origin, container tabs, and noscript.

edit: if anything i said is wrong, please correct me 🙏

Trypophobia is the name you’re looking for! -w-

What else should I try if I’m already doing this?

ya same… maybe headscale could do that but then you’d have to have a VPS pretty much

Not Gitea, they got bought by a for-profit company or something

I’m not sure how to describe it, so I’ll just give an example. There’s a completely free online game called corru.observer, where all music is available to listen to on soundcloud, where the only support the devs have is to support on patreon/kofi/i don’t remember, or to buy the music on bandcamp.

I love the game, i love the music, and so I supported the game by buying the music.

You could try Asahi Linux, they’ve been doing lots of work getting Fedora working nicely on the new ARM macbooks :)

Well, firefox used to have support for gopher, but maintaining it was too much work and support was removed in firefox 4.0. Even now, with it gopher and gemini being the most popular they’ve ever been, neither of them have built-in support from any major web browser.

Also, it’s not that the creators don’t want people using it, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that they didn’t expect the level of adoption they currently have.

real

because the point is not broad adoption, the point is not what features it supports, the point is the features that it doesn’t. It can’t track you, it can’t advertise to you (effectively), it’s meant to replicate that pre-corporate-enshittification feeling the WWW once had. The creators never imagined it would get as big as it even currently is.

this is why i love (/p) the gay people in my phone

I used Allman in my C# days and the spacing always felt weird to me since i came from java :(

I found this from ~9 years ago on imgur, “A Python programmer attempting Java”
