They we go back to the old days of making our own recordings, which can be done through screen capture if DRM can’t be cracked by the regular person.

I play rhythm games like taiko and I’d say it still doesn’t come anywhere close to being as physically demanding as fencing, which you’d have a terrible time if out of shape with the amount of cardio, flexibility, and body control required.

So comparing gaming at a high level as being as physically demanding as fencing is just odd to me. Now mentally exhausting and needing quick reflexes yes, but in the realm of gaming it’d have to be VR based to be able to make physically demanding arguments if comparing to fencing. With fencing being an actual cardio driven sport you need to be in great shape for.

I don’t much like the idea because video games are company driven. Like Apex exists only because of EA so its an advertising platform for EA. Unlike sports like basketball or tennis a video game like Apex or CS can’t exist independent of the company that owns it.

Even playing it you are reliant on their servers unlike basketball where you can play it at a random park without the permission of EA allowing access. Different companies can start leagues for sports like basketball, but nobody really owns or controls who can play the sport.

Maybe if some open source truly community run game was chosen.

If someone has a PC they may be more likely to use it to game and also to pirate games and mod games. That can actually lead to learning quite a bit about computers when it comes to the file system which lot of people don’t understand these days, and also following instructions when it comes to completing computer tasks. That sets a pretty good basic starting point. It can also lead to wanting to build their own PC and watch more tech related content.

So can push people from just a simple media consumption device to wanting to tinker.

If there is a kanban extension or something of the sort you might get the drag and drop list you want.

There is another Google Keep like app called NotallyX. Can even import in your Google keep backups. You can set up password protected auto backups with the app.

As for syncing syncthing as others have mentioned would be the best solution that would let you be able to use whatever you choose to go with.

Isn’t the point of fediverse to provide an alternative to big tech where anyone can create an instance with their own rules? Its not really about having to be subject to everyones voice. Otherwise instances wouldn’t have the ability to defederate.

And people as they got more familiar to the fediverse started either running their own or choosing instances that aligned with what they’d like to see and not see. So I see this thread more as people expressing what they’d like their instance to do when it comes to defederating or federating.

And if values don’t align then people can switch to an instance that more closely does. So its less about voice, but having options to turn to compared to centralized sites where if you dislike the CEO, algorithm, or moderation policies there isn’t much you can do other than leaving, but in the process lose access to all content and interaction.
