I think it seperates people, and that can have a harmful effect on people.

You slowly whether living for the good of all mankind (in your mind), excessive pleasure, or avoid the world more and more, just start living an experience that doesn’t make sense to more and more people.

It happens on small scales too. Like a trip to Hawaii or Disney world, or being able afford only “ethically” sources goods and having time to volunteer at your local animal shelter. These are experiences that people have seen have wanted but ultimately never afforded.

Like having time and money to travel to you families for thanksgiving, that is just not going to happen for some people, and the experience of begging for overtime to stock before black Friday is something those people may never experience or even think about.

Just like that stocker may never experience taking the kids to dump to sort through trash to find things to sell to help make it to next year’s seasonal work.

We view world through our eyes alone and can only fathom the rest.

Their harm is hidden and any benefits sung from the roof tops.

The old password deciphering wrench attack. https://xkcd.com/538/

My HP is good, but it’s one of the liquid ink ones instead of cartridges. Got for PPS support so I new it would just print things on my network.

Wish I had a open source option though. And or at least a manufacturer that was possibly using slave labor (made in China and all that).

I lied about my age online a WHILE ago and I’m going to let you know old farts get bombarded too.

Its gotten better since my old persona died I think (you know over 120 is just out of most marketers age ranges).

I hate ads with a passion, if a friend shows me a video and an ad pops up I show them how to use fence and ad blockers on their phone right away.

I remember there was like a twilight where yelp was helpful, then it wasn’t and I learned all their shady shit and went “yeah that explains it”.

Reddit has a longer amount of content to burn through but if it becomes just husks of communities puppetted by corporate pr firms it’s going to just slowly cannibalize.

If can protest in a way that drives engagement makes are numbers better it’s allowed. Lmao what clowns.

Its like the king says you can send him extra grain as a protest for this years unfair taxes

I don’t disagree that there is a ton of development from volunteers and non profit (ngos, Universitys and governments) but the majority seems to be from big tech at the moment.

Just saying they are contributing a lot and in those ways the Internet is better for it.

Used to be a bigger fan, but for the same reason I became more libertarian I’m not so sure it’s a practical philosophy. The biggest issue is that as soon as someone decides what is or isn’t good genetics you get a lot of bias. The majority of the human experience is social anyways.

Do you use any Firefox or chromium web browser, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, or WASM because I’m 90% most of the development for all of that comes from Ad companies or companies funded by ads.

Left over fajitas and refined beens.

Not the guy, but I hope it’s oat milk based. Very creamy milk, kind of airy frozen.

Its amazing how many older people I’ve talked to that have said “where did you hear that, that’s the first I’m hearing of it” for like major things. Like geopolitical decisions of the president, what Trump was actually convicted on, what reports actually say on the causes of inflation are, etc.

They watch tons of news, but honestly besides the headline, a spin, and how I should feel about I never got much from what they watch…

Right it begs the question.

Is me not receiving care or having access to care REALLY better for me?

If the answer can’t clearly be yes, then they are just choosing to make me ill or kill me for their perceived interests.

Yes. Honestly just bought a chip so I can mess around with librebooting my laptop.

Its about harm reduction my man. Meth is bad on the heart but so is excessive grease. I’m going to just never use meth and cut down my excessive fat consumption where I can.

They snap store is proprietary

The Dick Van Dike show is a great one.

The Marvelous Misses Maisel

The game from the startreck like episode on BlackMirror and Sword Art Online! Both are arguably great.

The twilight zone episode about the podcast and the airplane is amazing too.

Three dog is a treasure

Why do they need to disrespect their users rights to that though?

I guess to me be able to serve the 408b model even though I’m on a laptop is just awesome to me.

Also I saw Lora was an option for Petals but I haven’t messed with it at all.
