I like using Brave. They also have some AI features but they’re super easy to turn off.

Jellyfin is awesome. The only thing is getting remote access to work has been hard for me to figure out. I’m very glad that there’s multiple good options for media servers.

A couple years ago I bought a lifetime license for Plex and it has been so wonderful. I can truly own my media that I’ve purchased, watch it from any device, and share it with Family and close friends.

Proton ecosystem for Google stuff

I don’t really know of any social media alternatives.

Firefox, Hardened Safari, or Brave for Browsers (I prefer Brave especially on ios. The add blockers and protections work a lot better than a lot of options) I also mainly used hardened Safari for a while and it also worked really well.

1password works great for passwords, I’ve also heard great things about Proton Pass which is part of the Proton ecosystem. (I want to try Proton eventually when I can afford it)

Plain old vanilla. We used to get those big gallon buckets of ice cream cause they were cheap.

Never even heard of these before today. This seems so interesting and would be really nice if you live in a really rural area.

I’m curious what makes you say that. What evidence is there to support Marxism? Isn’t Marxism just communism? Just genuinely curious. I always thought that communism has been proven not to work multiple times throughout history. Not trying to say I think Capitalism is perfect. I definitely agree that Capitalism that is unrestrained and companies that are allowed to reign free is bad for the common people.

Yeah that’s a good point. I think the appeal of Jellyfin is it being an open source project.

At this point the only thing holding me back from switching to Jellyfin is Plex’s transcoded download function.

Wow love to see it. I wish a lot more companies would put protections like this for their workers.

Sometimes lego fans have some real L takes.

The dystopia is coming. If it’s not already here.

Yeah it’s fairly comperable. A while after we got it our town got fiber optic so that’s obviously better speeds for around the same price. However a big incentive was how mobile Starlink is and we experience quite a bit less instability than the ISP’s around here.

I use Starlink. $120 per month for 100<MBPS down and 15 MBPS up in Eastern Oregon.

It is kinda hard. Just riding on their “Trust me bro”. I do appreciate how open 1password is at least, they seem somewhat trustworthy as a company for now.

I really like using Brave. Seems to strike a good overall balance. It has some annoying things like the crypto crap, but luckily you can customize a lot of that so you don’t see it.

As irritating as it is. I do understand. The internet and things on the internet can’t just be free, and ads is how we pay.

I do highly disagree with how many ads they’ve been playing with implementing.
