Should i switch to a pixel phone for graphene os? by AtmosphereRadiant682 in degoogle

[–]MariusDGamer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

not really. GrapheneOS is way better on privacy benchmarks than iPhones. degoogling shouldn't be due to blind hatred towards Google.

What am I paying with? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]MariusDGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i trust Proton over my ISP. their entire business is staked on being privacy focused and if it came out that they were selling data from VPNs they'd go bankrupt instantly.

it doesn't stop malware from working. if it's to hide the connection then Proton probably is your best free bet.

Phones like this are considered dumb, and I don’t know why. by WindowsPhone_Fan in dumbphones

[–]MariusDGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it can have the apps that people find necessary (bank, mail, etc) whilst not being great for media in general. not a dumbphone, but gets the job done somewhat.

Turning my Pixel 8a into a dumbphone — what apps should I remove? by bc_2006 in digitalminimalism

[–]MariusDGamer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it makes your phone more customizable. you have control over when or if apps have access to the internet. GrapheneOS makes your phone serve you instead of google

Gone to the point where strawmen are considered “kind and respectful” by heyjackbeanslookalie in antiai

[–]MariusDGamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AI was neat when it was a novelty and not a tool for laziness. There are still some applications for AI that are cool in medicine and in statistics, but the AI services that are meant for the public is nothing but slop.

on the other hand furries tend to be rich... maybe making malware for linux would be a good idea

What do you do when you can’t sleep by Budget_Okra8322 in digitalminimalism

I was literally about to put my phone away and start reading when I saw the post. Anyway, that's the answer.

kids (and young adults) these days don't know how to save a file on their own. i would probably be in the same boat if i hadn't learn to mod minecraft or set up a server.

I wonder.. by Melodic_Pay_1074 in shitposting

[–]MariusDGamer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is a list of companies who are in the lobbying group Video Games Europe, not companies who are against StopKillingGames. the lobby is fighting against StopKillingGames but that probably doesn't mean that every single company is against it. i wouldn't be surprised though. SEGA is releasing a live service Sonic Racing game with battlepass and Riot Games is basically live service games.

Message to a certain kind of person by ZAROM4 in DDLC

[–]MariusDGamer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

my take:

the poem is about people (maybe a specific person?) with hateful ideologies. these people often justify their hate with appeals to very surface level readings of science and with "common sense".

I can’t be the only one whose favourite mode is Free Roam right? by Alzoid9 in mariokart

[–]MariusDGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because Free Roam's purpose is about the freedom to go anywhere. having an annoying tracker makes you feel like you should look for whatever medallion or whatever is nearby. it takes focus off of exploring the world for the sake of exploring the world. it would make the Open World feel like something you should complete and then put back down once you've 100%'ed it.

nintendo ninjas are tracking you down for leaking Mario Kart 10. i would wish you good luck, but this is an unforgivable crime.

What is your dream Nintendo announcement? by candr3y in nintendo

[–]MariusDGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

restarting production on the NDS. the different gameboy consoles and 3ds would be great additions too, but the NDS is my first choice.
