That’s the thing, I don’t understand why these games feel so satisfying to play, I have so much good stuff on my library to play and this simple ass game where just pretty much grind your way to the end like you said to the other user is what keeps me entertained

Dave the diver and made the mistake of trying vampire survivors, that thing is fucking addicting to me. Already had a taste of it with halls of torment but this type of game really gives you that “just one more run” feeling

URLCheck could be what you’re looking for.

It acts as the default browser but then pops up a window to ask you where to open the link, does it every time. I thought I would be bothered by that part but it’s so much better. You get to choose to open in Firefox private mode even in the in app browser. Links here on lemmy open through Sync (and Connect if I’m not mistaken) open in app on Firefox private mode.

You can also remove trackers from URLs, choose the default app per domain, love it

Thanks for all the info, really good to know that’s a potential consequence of using these apps, I know they sometimes make multiple requests per video in parallel but naively I never gave it a second thought as potential consequences of that.

I’m not necessarily new to this, I’m trying to degoogle little by little. Ever since I started using home assistant I started thinking more and more about self hosting. I think their add-ons are a great way for the unexperienced user to easily start learning about self hosting small things (password manager, personal notes and wiki, etc).

Got a question, I just found out about LibreTube from this post. I use NewPipe on phone and FreeTube on laptop, but LibreTube’s UI looks really good so want to give it a try. Is “YouTube will know your IP” a concern in terms of privacy or because of something else related to them know your IP is using apps that remove ads?

I’ve never been worried about YouTube knowing I use another app to access their stuff, so just curious if this is “just” about Google knowing you IP or something more.

I know this is the privacy community and don’t want to downplay the “Google knowing your IP” part but curious about this and being so explicit on the app setting as well when you turn it on

Always found it weird that Spain has the same time as Poland… On the other side of Europe.

The interesting thing to me is, from what I know, they’ve seem to have just “adapted” to do everything one hour later because of this. At least that’s what it looks like to me (from Portugal). For example, in Portugal you typically have lunch at 13:00, in Spain it’s at 14:00 (same time), same thing with dinner. So even though they’re one hour later they still do things at the same time as before.

Any Spaniards here please correct me if I’m wrong, I’d love to know if my perception of this is right or not

Love Darren Korb, Bastion and Hades OSTs do it for me, they’re great. Although I do feel that generally playing the game does play a lot on your interest on the sound track. I’d say my only exception is the DOOM soundtrack, never played the game but man, that album is awesome

Always liked this because it helps people see to some extent where money is going.

I know the UK and Portugal do this as well. It was especially interesting in the UK during the Brexit years because you could see a tiny piece of that pie chart with EU contributions, almost saying “this is how little of our money is going to Europe”, didn’t do any good in the end but hey, still great info to have that all detailed
