I'm currently using GrapheneOS on my Pixel phone I brought secondhand so think I should (for now) be okay?
Otherwise, Linux phone looks interesting but it just relearning both another OS (like iPhone users trying to learn Android and vice versa) and also just I have low income so buying new tech is just expensive.
I don't want to throw myself a deepend to an OS that I not as familiar with beside on my desktop and Raspberry Pi. Personally, I prefer to know what's there before I just go blind so at least I can manage my expectation than expected it to do 1:1 stuff that I do on my phone right now.
Trust me, I know. Like I said, I only added it as there's ton people saying it underrated and act like it's a universal liked game and TOTALLY not disliked by many and said why it isn't good.
Tomb Raider (2013) - I want to like that game and even tried the mindset of "Try treat it as just a standalone game" like I did with Resident Evil 4 but unlike that game, the game is boring. The constant hold-handling which the combination of the reboot trying to be cinematic feels jarring. "Survival" mechanics feels like a gimmick and felt in late-game, it went just being generic shooter game.
Doom 3 - I only putting it here as there's fan saying it underrated but to me, it feels like a tech demo at best (a really good one as love the shadows) and at worst, it's a poor-man's Half-Life. It was at first, scary the jumpscare but that's more just emeries' placement which felt there for cheap scare which ruins the atmosphere a bit they just set up. Personally, I think Dead Space is everything what Doom 3 wishes it could of be.
One thing I do like is you can listen to logs and read emails to try find out PINs for various lockers around the place which I thought that was cool.
For me, it's lack of Linux smartphones and also not selling in more popular shops. If I wasn't curious about Linux and decided to watch videos online about it, I wouldn't have known a Linux Smartphone exist and also, a smartphone is already a oversaturated market where it's just another iPhone or some sort of variation of a Android phone.
Fed up of Microsoft's BS and it's inconsistent UI/UX design. Made my very first PC build around last Christmas and have dual-boot of both Linux Mint and Windows 11 and I been mostly fine with Linux.
Only heard of him when I subscribed to r/ToiletPaperUSA which was a parody to Turning Point USA and learnt tiny bit of what he said but I never gone out my way to research about him as I know Far-Right figures (even the online one) just pissed me off.
I only learnt lot more about him when he died when Liberals on Bluesky pull the "we should debate" and sided with Right-wingers who said it's "The Left" is responsible. Mind you, that's even before we found out both the killer and their political stance which turns out, he's the Groyper (some 4Chan far-right bullshit). Think he killed Charlie as they believe he wasn't Right-wing enough and had for years spread an smear campaign I believe against him.
PeerTube is the 'YouTube alternative' I can somewhat get around but the issue I have it has few content creators I would watch. Otherwise, just seems more of a concept than an actual replacement for now.
I hate Odysee, it has many far-right content creator which I remember seeing much of pro-nazi video on there. It's beyond me people keep suggesting that god awful platform for people that hate YouTube for allowing far-right wingers on YouTube and doing barely anything about it.
Reminded me when some American food critic on TikTok stay in hotel in the UK and didn't like the English breakfast which lot British people pissed off and one was suggesting eating a Indian place. The irony of it.. 🙃
Totally get you. It's why I roll my eyes anytime someone say "Be the change you want to see" as if I wasn't trying to and also getting a burntout from doing so. Easier said than done.
Sadly, people are simply just so comfortable with whatever massaging & social media app they used that trying out other alternatives is immediately dismissed as a inconvenient before they even tried it. And also we are so used to corporation taking so many of our data that some are just numbed about it and see it as a losing battle or they don't know how much valuable their information is which you often get the infamous "I got nothing to hide" BS.
I have got few my friends to use Signal when I was about to delete my Instagram. Still in contact with them which is a small victory for me.
For me, it's massive shitpost in reviews which I just want to know if the game is good. The worst thing is their often so unfunny and wish there's a way to filter out those reviews (which is using it loosely)
