Same. I mostly try to be honest with myself as I found that copium rarely is helpful. We‘re in this mess now and we can either sulk or get going. I choose to get going day after day. Hows that for aspirational statements? :)

Being cynical and defeatist is a coping mechanism. Like racism, its a form of dealing with a continuously shitty situation while not addressing the real problem.
If you look at the small amount of people that drink 1000$ wine bottles for lunch while you‘re struggling to pay the rent, then you find the problem these cynics are unable to address.
I have a quote that fits this situation well:
When you‘re dead, you do not know you are dead. Its only painful and difficult for others. The same applies when you are stupid.
I personally prefer postmarketOS but everything is better than stock android/ios
They could go full deep packet inspection like other authoritarian regimes. But otherwise its gonna be tough.
You need to have a phone that doesnt read your screen though. Iphones eg read everything you do and probably share that data. No idea about android.
Racism is either a symptom or a tool:
Those who cant make sense of their situation being unsatisfactory may fall prey to it to soothe themselves.
Those who hoard all of the worlds wealth use it to distract from that fact.
Thats a lot of text to say „I‘m not interested in debate.“
I think its the wrong platform if you just want to push your ideas and takes and cant accept different opinions. A blog would be more fitting in that case.
And again, have a good one.
That hits home like a cruise missile. Ouch.
Damn thats a depressing read. Why isnt this shit illegal?
Capitalism is a tool, used by 2000 people to rule the rest. Hierarchy is the problem. The idea that one person is better than the other.
This idea needs to die already.
But yes, money is a good tool to brainwash people into misunderstanding the worth of their work and their property. This „inflation“ treadmill is insane and makes you run faster in the hamster wheel while the rich dont work at all!
And may the odds be ever in your favor.
Yes. I just researched and found out minecraft uses its own engine based on lwjgl. It’s a little bit like whatsapp and matrix. While whatsapp uses(d?) xmpp, matrix is the protocol, not the client.
I used modrinth launcher since the whole platform is open source afaik. Big fan.
That said, I stopped playing minecraft since microsoft has perverted everything I liked about it to make it a childrens game with microtransactions. They recently announced ramping up the breakneck speed of updates to make it more like a live service game which may devastate the mod community.
I since made a voxelibre server which works surprisingly well. I also maintain a minecraft inspired texture pack since I dislike visual change.
In any case. Good luck.
I think peertube needs shortd and mobile apps desperately to fill this void.
I completely agree that everyone should use free software. Not for free of course but by donating or straight up paying for it.
That aside, I think your stance is the „vindictive vegan“ approach. While I‘m a newly found fan of veganism, I strongly dislike the „you’re either with us or against us“ approach.
I personally run a matrix server (which is foss, even if it sounds like its second class foss to you) and have it bridged to discord, whatsapp and signal. Why? Because that helps me convert people.
Their reasons for joining matrix:
I think there are better albeit more manipulative ways to get people to convert instead of punching them on the nose. Certain matrix only rooms do help, provided they have no equivalent on the other side.
Anyway, have a good one.
Strongly agree! I switched as well, so did my wife and its glorious. We‘re both avid gamers and no issues so far. We have strong opinions about intrusive anti cheat software so that helped.
I did make a windows vm for my wife since she needs to work with adobe sometimes and it seems to work perfectly so far.
Feel free to update on your journey.
Cant watch rn. Can someone hint what the gist is?
Walled garden or die
Thats how i read azure
Pure principle is the answer. People who buy a game should be able to play the game as long as they wish, sell it, give it their grandkids for all I care.
The problem with your argument is „doesnt affect me, wont bother“.
Think of anything you like or even love. Now think of it being taken away, because someone else doesnt care about it. You think thats fair?
Hi friend! Good to see this insightful comment comes from you.
Iirc there should be a way to complain to the authorities about this, right?
Case in point :)
