Nearly got bingo with FOSS apps. Specifically used to avoid paying big corporations (Spotify, Netflix, google)

    Down voted to hell but whatever.

    Xmanager it installs spotify patched without ads and premium features, the same as using revanced really. Its been cat and mouse for a long time but its pretty much down now.

    Similar for the manga apps. They constantly get formed and taken down.

    Invidious for YouTube is another example. Great when these things work but they need constant patching and fixing. The average person can't just pick them up and use them.

    Well those get taken down by the big corpos, not really the developer’s fault. Really, the fact that they are FOSS mean it’s much easier to fix issues as lots of different people can contribute, and where you mention apps that get taken down and formed again is only possible with FOSS apps (i.e. forks)

    FOSS programs that don’t involve piracy are perfectly fine though (libreoffice, inkscape, kdenlive, linux, among many MANY others), they all work wonderfully

    Shoot. Maybe someone's card is in the right order.

    Destroys well-paying jobs has been a major public issue since the mechanical loom was invented in 17whatever. I like mechanical looms. I think there's varying opinion even on here about which squares are actually bad and which are just whining.

    Do fleshlights not work on black people?
