I’m aware of this. The problem I have is that it basically means they are subsidizing large segments of our economy, making us more dependent on them. More dependence gives them more leverage, and eventually only continues this back and forth we have now.

I still support it, as I said previously. But it’s never going to solve the root problems, which are executives and corporations as institutions. They need to be supplanted.

… whaat?

While I’m in favor of increasing taxes on the rich if given the option, it’s always felt like such a bandaid measure. Our society should be structured in a way that doesn’t produce these people in the first place.

It’s hard to believe there is anyone who would care so much about Windows that they naturally get this dedicated to crusading for it.

We know now days that there are people getting paid to discredit vegans online, and that’s the only explanation for this that makes sense to me.

After looking at that page, I too ask… what?

Or, and apparently this is crazy these days - I can just use a file that’s in a format appropriate to what I’m trying to do, compatible with the simpler offline app it was made for, and then just use a more general purpose syncing method whether online or sneakernet if I need to do some kind of data transfer - as opposed to accumulating an ever expanding collection of server stacks that are just redundantly doing the same kind of thing anyway while needlessly adding an insane amount of attack surface.

Am caught up on One Piece up to the end of the Egghead arc, waiting for the dub of the next arc. I don’t know what to do with my life now. 🙃

The thing that I hate about self-hosting is that a lot of apps that could just be a plain offline thing are instead being designed to be super bloated server-docker things. Databases are not reasonably portable data formats.

MetaDARVO sounds like some kind of villain robot name.

Isn’t there a Pebble project that lets anyone create watchfaces through easy drag and drop interactions?

I like pickles, but never see the point in getting them because sauerkraut, and kimchi, are better.

There’s a disturbing lack of Phantasy Star Portable 1 & 2 in this thread.

Also want to second Rock Band Unplugged because it has similar gameplay to the ps2 game Amplitude.

Was looking to see if anyone recommended this one. Very simple game, but the action and progression are really addictive.

Not even close, Linux users have been creating documentation long before Discord existed, and will continue to do so long after Discord dies. In my experience one of the most consistently great places to learn how to perform various tasks is the Arch Linux Wiki. It’s extremely helpful and relevant even if you’re not using Arch.

If I were trying to get info about Linux on Discord, I’d probably find myself getting upset too. It’s almost like Discord just sucks or something.

We don’t need to replace Firefox. We need to fork it away from Mozilla, in the stewardship of a better organization.

Actions that lead to more animal harm and more animal death typically involve more harm, or even death in extreme cases, to humans as well.

But as others pointed out, this person pretty clearly cares about nothing but himself anyway. So that tracks.

If GOG just hired one full time intern to go ahead and bake Proton into their platform so they could have Linux support that isn’t completely broken, I’d probably start getting more games on their platform again.

Edit: Oh, looks like it’s on the way. Maybe I’d better start wishlisting.

You’re right, I should start up a new game of Stardew Valley.

To give good advice I’d have to know what your budget is, and what systems and games you’re most interested in playing.

For now I will just introduce you to the wonderful world of retro handhelds by way of a well known youtuber:

Good luck creating one of those trendy diy air filters with a bladeless fan.
