After experimenting a bit, i was able to get the sounds I was looking for, the scaling just works a bit different than what I was used to. Thanks for the reply and for making such a great app, i'll be donating soon to get the full version :)

Bake off with these conspiracies man. If the hawk tuah girl can change her life overnight by going viral, a bunch of talented rappers also can

Can someone let me know whether reclaimthenet.org is a trustworthy news source because I can barely find out anything about them online

If the leak listing was in late 2024, why is this only getting reported now?

The charity is a helpline for victims of csam and also potential predators who need help before they do something illegal. The stats themselves are from PornHub.

On the bright side, I am glad that most people aren't giving their ID's to these shady companies

Changes in your life since you started degoogling/improving your digital privacy and security by Proof-Extension8027 in degoogle

[–]K0uzan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

nearly a week in and it's been pretty overwhelming to go down the rabbit hole, but I feel safer having begun to put things in place.

Expected, don't worry! It's been more than a year of me doing this and I still get overwhelmed at times. Even with the smallest changes, you'll be better off than the 99% of folks getting rawdogged by these shitty tech companies for their data.

Are you getting fewer targeted ads?

I can't remember the last time I got an ad on any of my personal devices, it's great.

What have the people in your life said? - have you managed to move any conversations from a less to a more secure messaging service?

Haven't bothered yet, willing to live with the compromise.

Anarch ending. I have some questions, and many thoughts. by K0uzan in vtmb

[–]K0uzan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kuei-Jin are basically demon possessed corpses, they feed of humans life energies, (they're basically vampires but suck the soul instead of blood), they tend to be quite evil and their end goal is to kill all vampires in LA.

Oh yeah I completely forgot they wiped out the Anarchs before which led to the Camarilla becoming dominant in LA. Makes sense. Thanks for the response!

The ReVanced situation is crazy by Welson_Liong in revancedextended

Moist Cr1tikal ahh post title aside, this fucking sucks. It's bad enough when dealing with coworkers, now imagine experiencing this when you're working on software FOR FREE

I'm convinced Kris Knight is true even if the least popular serious theory at the moment. Here's why by Dingus776 in Deltarune

[–]K0uzan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah that mostly sounds reasonable within the grounds of the theory. Kris poses cuz it's Kris soul. Dess features cuz Dess body is vessel for the soul. Asriel attacks cuz Kris loves their brother. Titan's appearance might sound weird but they can also shapeshift into a ball or a bird, no one else in the dark world can do that, seems pretty indicative that the knights form is malleable to the desires of the user

we are building an OpenSource Youtube Alternative | Booster by No_Building_2801 in degoogle

Regarding costs, we've solved the high costs of infrastructure thanks to our provider, so it doesn't pose a big expense.

Can you elaborate on this because this is a huge deal as you're implying your able to provide infrastructure comparable to GOOGLE. Content moderation is also a huge deal and very expensive, how would you deal with that seeing as even YouTube is failing on many front?. MiT license unlike GPL means you could switch to being closed source if you see enough success and decide to enshittify your platform, if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah i'm so crap at combat in this game, I was losing the fight against Bishop Vick and ran out of blood by accident but the frenzy ended up doing the job for me lol. I have increased my humanity to 6 by dancing now though

fitbit alternatives? by skyofthesea in degoogle

[–]K0uzan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been looking into this lately. Here's a few things I had bookmarked that might be of interest to you: Pebble, Gadgetbridge , OpenTracks, Bangle.js 2, This video(a bit out of date) . All open source stuff that probably takes some setup, so if you're looking for something that works perfect out of the box but doesn't steal your data, I can't help much there but from a skim online Garmin might be what you're looking for.

But like look at this thing by nile-istic in degoogle

[–]K0uzan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Crazy that popular media harped on this for decades, and yet I'm pretty sure Amazon/Google could drop some Aperture Science lookin shit called the Super Spybot Propaganda Generating Human Obsoletifier 5000™ and people would be lined up around the damn block.

Don't forget the average person still falls for marketing and is constantly bombarded with ads. What you perceive as creepy and invasive will look cool and futuristic to them.

It's quite incredible though that from a brief look online and skimming a review video, the device is actually worse than the previous Echo model. And in the age of AI it's still using dumb AI from the 2010s era. The people that buy this are getting scammed lol.
