I kinda agree with the article, I genuinely think humanity peaked with the computer of the PS2 era. Or maybe it had something to do with the patriot act. Just feels like after that things had gotten worse substantially

I personally don’t, on the off chance I do need to print something I do it at work.

Framework printer.

Make it happen.

In the first paragraph I mentioned that I don’t have an account, I never had one on Xitter mastodon or BS. That’s my point of view, and from what it seems it’s always politics.

I never had a Xitter account so take what I say with a grain of salt, as I only interacted with the platform as a spectator.

For me it was funny to watch as I slowly saw people dive into madness over the most irrelevant things.

It didn’t matter if it was left or right people still lost all senses over unimportant things like Hunter Biden’s laptop or this week’s conspiracy theory.

I opened Mastodon and as I scroll through I see the following order:

1. republican bad post
2. republican bad post
3. republican bad post
4. something linux related (usually hector martin)
5. republican bad post

And I get it, republican is bad, but after reading 3-4 republic bad posts my mental state needs a break or something different which is what Xitter was able to do. Some new music being announced/discussed, maybe a video game, maybe a joke.

BS suffers from the same issue, no variation in the content is what makes me not want to partake.

I personally think that the problem is rooted in defederation, it’s being used willy-nilly like it doesn’t have effect on the people using the platform. But not becoming an echo chamber is essential to a platform’s long term health. If I know that a platform has the same message for me when I open the app I’ll just start using it less, which is what happened with Lemmy sadly, I open my feed and it’s full of dystopian and republican posts, I just don’t bother anymore.

Incoherent rant over.

Leopards will not go hungry for the next 4 years.

Not sure why you got downvoted… storing text isn’t a lot of data, they can easily do it once per song and wrap it up.

Sure bud, pirating some Microsoft Studio video games and windows ISOs right now. What? I found them on the open web!

Illegal =/= immoral

Just because I pirate, doesn’t mean I’m an asshole

why is the brick highlighted and glowing?

I see what Vicky is attempting to do. But there’s nothing stopping publishers from going over to the Epic Games Store for example and selling their content there. Valve does nothing to suppress competition (it can’t really either), the competition is just bad.

If it’s built into the video I watch in mpv can’t I just skip?

Nothing says “We’re confident in the software we’re selling” like willing to work for exposure in hopes that somebody shills $20 for a subscription.

I wish I could go back. Sadly too much of my life relies on this shit.

There’s a reason we use .env files and put them in gitignore.

wh…wh…where do i enlist 🙈

The whataboutism doesn’t help. It’s a wrong practice regardless of nationality. But since the house and senate is bought by the corporations, at the very least ban those who you can.

Hi, I recommend you read the book “Run Your Own Mail Server”. The fact that a book exists for this topic is all the proof you need to not do this decision. But if you absolutely must, this is the way.
