Unhelpful, but not untrue

Lo and behold, I have Ubisoft wallet funds! And it just happens to be that it's everyone's favourite time to buy games, Cyber Monday.

So, my question for all the Lemmings out there is: What are your top five (5) must-play Ubisoft games? I'm talking pseudo-classics, like AC2. Gems from the past decade that can run on anyone's hardware. Note that the older the game is, the higher the discount is, and thus more accessible.

And...Discuss!

Facts. Just talking to educated people today, it is clear that there is a major disparity in knowledge and understanding when it comes to technology.

And yeah. Download Tor for free and bada-bing bada-boom, your kid now has access to not only the entire internet, but also the actual dark side of the Internet. Which is arguably an even worse environment than just straight-up internet.

For now, the only real solution is good parenting. Which again, as you mentioned, is getting harder and harder.

Somewhat off-topic, but the general trend of anti-family sentiment in society troubles me for a number of reasons.

Until kids learn to bypass Net Nanny by using the Tor network.

I think the system is broken, but my opinion isn't of much value as I don't have a solution for the problem. It's a classic debate question.

[-] Kevin11@lemdro.id 2 points 11 months ago

Precisely! Modernized, relevant internet safety courses! The current systems, at least what I've experienced, have really amounted to "don't talk to strange people in chat rooms" and I...

Oh.

I think everyone can agree that child safety is important. But the fact internet as it stands is not safe for kids is completely undeniable.

As always, however, censorship is not the solution, especially not if it's headed by government. I'm honestly not sure what the solution is.

This is like watching a nature documentary

I maintain that Cars 3 is a better sequel to Cars, but Cars 2 is such a good movie.

Ready Player One is, without a doubt my favourite book of all time.

Ready Player Two, however...

Finally, an actual joke. I thought we were on an internet-argument-cesspool sub.

Hey all, newbie to the Lemmy, signed up recently.

Also a relative android newbie, I've had a pixel 6 for about a year and a half.

I've played around with tasker, KWGT, KLWP, and all kinds of other power-user techie apps, so I'm reasonably confident in my ability to tinker with my phone.

I've been experimenting with my launcher, having gone with stock pixel launcher for my first half, and then using Lawnchair 12 for the second half, I wanted to try something new.

So, I open the floor up to you guys! What launcher are you using, what do you enjoy, and most importantly, why do you enjoy it? What sets your launcher apart?

I know there are a lot of us who came here from Reddit, so I kinda want to know why and how you fellas got here, and from where.

Bonus points if you explain why you're excited about Lemmy and the Fediverse, or, alternatively, share why your worried or annoyed at Lemmy and the Fediverse.

I'll go first: I was really tired of putting Reddit at the end of every Google search, and so I decided that I'd probably get better results from the same crowd of people (techie, open-source privacy geeks like myself lol) from the Fediverse. I originally wanted to join /kbin (not sure if that's how it's formatted) but I noticed that they didn't have an Android app, so I went with Lemmy for now until kbin has an app I can use. I struggled to decide what instance I wanted to use, but eventually decided to join Lemdro.id because, well, I enjoy android I guess. (And it doesn't really matter) I'm excited to see what happens with the whole Threads thing, as well as the Fediverse at large, considering the massive growth most platforms are experiencing at the moment. It sounds corny, but I feel like I'm a part of a new chapter in the Internet and the world's history, you know? I mean I'm not exactly an early adopter, but I'm earlier than everyone after me, you know? I am worried about the same social issues that plagued reddit appearing here, which would make me sad. I just don't want to see the same political discourse on the Fediverse, because otherwise, what actually sets us apart from regular vanilla reddit, then?

(Edit) Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean for reddit-migration stories specifically, I just wanted to talk about how we all got here!
