If you mean the servers you could use something open source like bitwarden and just not use their online service, you can host your own server or use it locally.
Have you tried looking on itch.io? I recently got a few games from there (some are hosted on the play store but not all)
Only bad thing about browsing is that 80% of the games seem to be dating sims or visual novels (which is fine if you're looking for that, but annoying if you're not)
Edit: infidhells seems really fun, but haven't had time to play much, to use all the gameplay features it's worth playing with the sound on (though it has accessibility options for playing without audio).
They just happen to be reaching a breaking point to you, because of how tendencies work, most people reach a breaking point at roughly the same time.
Analogous to this, think of how when you're in a shitty relationship, you don't break up for one red flag or another, eventually you reach a breaking point and decide to not deal with the bs anymore, but when you look back you realize you were in a sea of red flags and should've ended it a long time ago... Either that or you never reach your breaking point and just sink lower and lower and become more miserable. That's about how it goes with most things in the consumer world. It's a good thing that we reach these breaking points, otherwise things never improve.
I am yet to use the browser version so idk how it is natively, but in apps I believe that should be a feature added by the developers and being a toggle of some sort (and I'd say on by default)
That's on the creators tho, not the platform I feel like it's not an argument against paying for the platform, at least not when there are plenty of videos that don't do baked in sponsor ads.
Edit: if you exclusively watch content with baked in ads, I can see it from a purely consumer end point of view.
To some extent I can understand it, it's very normal to have both of those things just for the sake of it in today's media, to that guy it might look even more rampant than to you and I.
Similarly, I personally like manga/anime but kinda hate how fanservice gets inserted with little to no consideration on how it affects a scene (and it seems to happen in most works aimed at a male demographic, can't speak for all genres), if I want to see some actual skin I can always look up porn.
I've noticed a large portion of the posts in Lemmy are haphazardly cropped into squares, is a Lemmy reader app in particular that does that to submitted images?
American English maybe, some parts of the uk and Irish do sound very aggressive
I'm with you, I got into Lemmy and am seeing this for the first time. I'm assuming it's some touristic attraction
I just realized somebody needs to archive that post before it gets deleted somehow

Is that not how it works already? If you use the same account for multiple instances you don't have to delete it multiple times.
I don't understand why someone would expect otherwise either
I feel attacked
Hyundai announced they're not doing those stupid subscriptions, might be worth considering.
Edit: more like making it free to use as long as you're the legal owlet owner of the car, still better than the other manufacturers
Other countries don't hold as many people in jail?

Anyone who actually needs to know that info
Yeah, it's a forum, it should be more like a cafe in terms of anyone talking to anyone, regardless of who that person is.
For big personalities and stuff every time it mattered in reddit, I saw proof that they're them (ama's usually)

/dragonsfuckingcars and /r/carsfuckingdragons I just need them to exist
I wonder if there would be that much worry about it if it didn't taste like shit.
The game isn't even out yet and people are excited for mods that will fix bugs. JFC there's a reason AAA games these days launch incredibly broken
