I know I can block communities but can I block entire federations? I wanted to block foreign language ones which didn't mark their posts with the correct language etc. so I wouldn't see the content.

I watch YouTube when I eat etc. I pretty much solely watch gameplays. Is there any alternative? Or an opensource way to view YouTube? I don't want to use Twitch because Amazon and I grew out of enjoying streamers in my late teens and it's been a while since.

Edit: I don't ever use it on mobile. Desktop via Firefox only.

I would love to use a different app but I am stuck with Discord because I have to use it for work. I was wondering if there was a way to connect normally with Discord content from an open source alternative…? I know there’s Revolt and Matrix which look a lot like it but I haven’t used either because I don’t need another Discord if I cannot use it for the same purpose I’m doing now (I have to use preexisting Discord servers and connect with coworkers who only use Discord and won’t move).

I've been trying to grow mine out for years. Multiple times I've lost many months of progress to malicious hairdressers but now I'm at a length which finally feels longer and I'm so happy. I hope it continues growing well and I continue getting happier and happier with my looks.

Feel free to join in or share your hair growth journey no matter if you're masc or fem. :)

I'm limiting my Google usage to the best of my ability. Monopolies always lead to a huge decrease in quality as shown by the likes of Reddit and so on. I will appreciate the help. I solely walk or use public transport if that matters. And I live in Germany. :)

My current PC is very old to a point where it's latest bios update was in 2015. I upgraded my GPU since but I have troubles with opening the browser taking a few minutes. This broke me and in spite of my lack of funding I decided to buy PC parts and build a new one, minus the GPU, to be able to continue my normal usage. I didn't buy bad parts either, I bought a CPU which was deemed a flagship of the last AMD CPUs without a GPU in them. I used a PC building website to check for compatibility, did some checking myself. Ordered all, suffered through websites lying about availability and then refusing to cancel because they ordered in my name from another supplier and so on. Ok, all arrived. No, it didn't. They didn't send me a RAM in a package which was marked as containing it. I waited quite a while for them to "investigate" and refund me money. Anyway, finally all stuff has arrived. I had to get a new CPU cooler because the compatibility website didn't check for CPU socket for coolers which neither did I think of because I was dumb enough not to predict they would space screws differently between different sellers because screw the end user. I put all together, not my first time, I would put my PC apart when moving countries to save on space to save on delivery costs. The issue is, it wouldn't work. It would turn itself off. It would work only with 1 RAM, either one in either socket. So not a RAM issue. It seems to had been either or both a motherboard and case issue. I got electrocuted twice so I think it was the PC case. I don't want to elaborate too much because, again, I'm poor and it costs quite a lot. I sent all back, explained what's happened and I'm waiting for how it will go. The biggest pain was the PC worked even worse than my current one with 1 RAM despite equivalent amount of memory. Obviously it was broken in some way but I'm scared. Mostly for the money. I really don't have the money but I'm scared I'll lose my PC and since I live in a country of which I don't speak the language of (not by choice, I came here to avoid homelessness but the threat is glooming over me again because I only got 1 response regarding housing despite tirelessly following ads and sending messages) it's essentially my only way to relax and forget of my dumb situation. I cannot even play most games because it takes too long to launch them (especially looking at CK3 for which I bought an SSD only to discover my mobo is so old there's no M.2 slot). I know I'm a silly little dumb jester but I wish I had a new PC which just worked and worked well and I wasn't broke but it seems like I might both not get a new PC AND lose money if the sellers decide it's somehow not their responsibility to provide customers with working parts. I needed to vent. Sorri. :((((

I'll preface it with being a non-sexual nudist and also someone who doesn't and has never used person-oriented social media. I don't care about the "privacy concerns" at all in the slightest and find it funny. Especially when people obsessed with privacy try to convert me. I always delete my accounts everywhere I leave because I don't want to have them host useless data and I'm generally very "e-clean" and don't keep any files I don't need-need on my PC or cloud drives either. What drove me off Reddit is literaly nazis. I moved to Germany to avoid homelessness in Ireland and since I don't speak German, choosing an English speaking sub for the country came naturally. I used it for months but lately the amount of people speaking of how "ethnical Germans" cannot do wrong and how all bad stuff are done by "people of immigration background" and straight up calling people with immigrants grandparents who were born there immigrants to just broke me. I briefly opened Mastodon but saw the nutjobs and abruptly left. I tried using Lemmy in the past but ended up leaving because I essentially only need Reddit during commuting and Lemmy has a terrible mobile experience.

I live in a country which uses a language I don't speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).
