Heyo! Just another random who’s moving over from centralized social media to the Fediverse. Mastodon wasn’t too bad but I love anything like Reddit!

Games, anime, Japanese, food, and music are my loves. Fanfic beats food tho, I can read for hours instead!

  • Yeah, I’d probably let go of the app and just change the settings, saves space.

    Furthermore, I saw you have OpenVPN for Android. I’ve never heard of that app tbh, so it makes me wary. If you need a free, open-source, and audited VPN from the play store, then I’d stick with Proton. If you can pay money, then Mullvad.


  • Yeah, saw that on another comment. Then just stick with plain Firefox and download the uBlock extension. Seriously, ditch Brave. It doesn’t do anything FF with some settings turned on can’t do.

    Unrelated note: I see you have NextDNS as an app. You can’t just change the DNS settings on your phone? Is that blocked by parental control?






  • I’m pretty sure they’re talking about catching pubic lice (genital crabs) either due to sleeping around, or the Myrtle Beach area being kind of shady.

    I went there with my family when I was a kid, and yeah… Our hotel was fine but the place was giving old, and I’ll never forget this mom who let her kids play in a nasty ass abandoned jacuzzi pool that was off-colored and had cigarette butts in it…

    Forgive me for being born after the 90s y’all, but sometimes it’s nice to have a reboot. Well. I could care less about movie/TV show reboots since so many places show the originals or you could pirate, but when it comes to games, I appreciate being able to enjoy the same games my mom did but with slightly better graphics and on a console we own/PC. And yes, I could pirate the originals, but sometimes it’s nice to play it as it was intended, especially for hand held games.

    Yes reboots can be lazy and uninspired, and simply for money purposes, but other times it’s nice to see something come back to life and get a second chance. There’s so much stuff I wouldn’t have known about or enjoyed if it wasn’t for reboots.

    Watched a video before of kids from Whales doing an exchange with Korean students, and they were miserable. Like you said, they were getting back home late from clubs and cram tutoring at like 10pm, and would then get up for school around 6am or so.

    This is just an unfortunately common thing in Asian countries, getting into the best schools is treated like a life-or-death thing for many.

    Maybe get used? That way you don’t support Google and it doesn’t cost too much. Not sure how much mine cost, I got it as a gift from my mother who’s pretty good about finding sales for things, although it was brand-new.

    If not that then people seem to see CalyxOS as a decent alternative.
