i hate spez as much as the next guy, but i don’t think they care at all. everyone who visits reddit is contributing to the traffic numbers that they will show investors, including the people who write “fuck spez” on a page that those investors will never look at
Ice Cubes is great for me, beautiful UI and cute sound effects
name a single grand master plan that elon has ever pulled off
chump change for the zuck, but still way better than nothing! good job norway
(which is far superior to vlc in graphical fidelity out-of-the-box)
if you want to jailbreak it, there’s a spreadsheet somewhere detailing which models to avoid
but honestly, before i figured out i could jailbreak mine, i was just using it in airplane mode 24/7 and transferring stuff over usb with the EXCELLENT software Calibre. highly highly recommend! the only benefit i get from the jailbreak is that i can use a more customizable reader (fonts, margins, night mode), and that i can now transfer stuff from Calibre over wi-fi without having to create an amazon account. bliss!
i kind of wish they would direct people towards the fediverse version, but i don’t know how easy that is for them to do without upsetting someone at microsoft behind the scenes
there is no shame in liking games, but it’s a pretty big turn-off for many people because of negative stereotypes (especially in your age range). do yourself a favor and find another hobby to talk to people about (music, films, exercise), and then once you’re close with them and they won’t immediately discard you based on those stereotypes, you can start to share that part of yourself
OR you can keep being totally upfront about gaming being your #1 hobby and hope that you’ll meet your soulmate who happens to share the exact same passion. either way, good luck :)
thankful i used a script to mass-edit my profile, which seems to still be in effect (first and only time i visit a reddit URL post-spezdown, just directly typed my profile link so i don’t give the front page any “views” or “engagement” or whatever the corpo hogs are calling it now)
that sucks. i’m guessing that the dev team are good folk who oppose DRM, but it is being forced onto them by their publishers.
