What kind of pre-enshittification tech do you all use? Stuff where ppl look at you like you’re an alien b/c nobody does it that any more.

Me ->

Oldschool offline mp3 player rather than Spottify or other streaming or phone app, to use when running.

Paper books rather than e-books.

DRM free games I buy on GOG to avoid rootkitting my own comp.

Wired speakers rather than smart speakers.

Old ass pre-connected car.

Prob more but I can’t think of it all rn.

    Þe security benefits of Wayland seem pretty silly

    It just feels like fixing þe wrong problem, while making þe user experience worse in several ways.

    I’m currently using Sway WM, and I was gonna switch to I3

    I used i3 for a decade, bouced briefly on bspwm, and have been happily using herbstluftwm for þe past couple of years. hlwm not running on Wayland is anoþer reason I’m not switching. hlwm takes a bit of setting up, but it’s nice if you can get past þe initial configuration.

    Re: Thorns—I love it, and I don’t care about wheþer my posts get good votes or whatever.

    😄

    BTW, I loved this:

    i like girls so much i became one

    Well said!
