It's always interesting when people from the Internet meet in-person. It should happen more often to the point when the people become friends and exchange it to real life socialising.

The demand is there and keeps increasing. I even thought about some platform where people from reddit/lemmy type of platform do stuff together like sports, outdoor, going to pub or something like that. I'm writing here about non-mainstream solutions.

  • BizarreBub - 20 mins scary compilations (better than Chills, Nuke5s,Top5s,Dark5 combined imo)
  • Chilling Scares - spooky stories, videos

Both guys go straight to the point with no intros and sponsor blocks.

FreeTube is one of the last remaining youtube frontends in the game. Piped got nuked, Invidious is still kinda fighting.

 

Select the square on OpenStreeMap and the app will generate the world directory, which can be opened in Minecraft Java Edition.

I haven't figured out yet what's the best world scale ratio, but visiting known locations is fun.

Have you finished the process of accounts deletion or data removal? How long did it take?

Was it tiresome going through every "data protection officer" mail of companies while requesting for data removal?

How have you monitored the progress and checked if they removed your data?

Are you strict with new account creations nowadays?

Harnessed to a large windsurfing sail, I found myself caught between the sail and the water in light rain, close to a reedy shore, out of nowhere.

Having multiple Steam libraries imports avaiable would be cool. Also check for duplicates could be useful.

 

Changing the interface theme in settings doesn't change the bars. For example if I want to go "darkly-pureblack" I keep seeing the rgb bars. How to make it consistent for these elements?

Brainless GPT coding is becoming a new norm on uni.

Even if I get the code via Chat GPT I try to understand what it does. How you gonna maintain these hundreds of lines if you dont know how does it work?

Not to mention, you won't cheat out your way on recruitment meeting.

You know that rule "shut down all screens" 1 hour before sleep, but there's always something to watch/to program etc. Have you found the discipline to do it regularly?

How do you deal with the going-out in the evening, if you strive to wake up at that time?

Do you have some interesting/intense routine like running, which was quite common in american movies?

 

I have degoogled my phone few years ago it really hit me how much the phones depend on Google services. Few examples from of my daily usage when I compromised:

  1. Communication

I'm in students group, people there have own group chat on facebook messenger. They share info regarding tests, deadlines etc. Basically standard uni messaging. Unless I had fake Facebook account to be there I would have to collect all info by myself. The alternative is a discord server, which in privacy terms is questionable choice too.

At least I have few friends who use Signal or Element, but it's minority.

What do you usually use and offer when people ask you for contact?

  1. Banking app

Banking app I used has blocked me from app after few years of using it when they realized I have it from "unofficial" source - Aurora store. That motivated to switch the bank and app, which doesn't really on Google Play services. The easiest way to do that was browsing Huawei app store and finding the most suitable app. Do you use baking apps?

  1. Taxi/Transport

Of course theres no way to use Bolt/Uber for transport on degoogled device. What's your way of transport after having few beers in pub? Do you use taxi via calling it directly or use that weird Telegram taxi addon?

  1. Map directions

Is there a way to convert google map pins to open source solutions and vice versa? What's your recommended software for directions? What do you use for driving?

  1. Fitness

Do you track fitness activities?

  1. Phone

Do you have good phone recommendations? I know that GrapheneOS+Pixel is one, but what about others?
