That must have taken some diplomacy, but it would have been even more impressive to have convinced Stallman to come too

Somebody online said that she probably got a discount on the originals thanks to her rerecordings devaluating the value of the first records - and, you know, that’s a galaxy brain move

My municipality does something similar but with the procedure being backwards - giving tax breaks to owners of one single property, that are, of course, unavailable to owners of multiple houses

You mean “boycott all privative culture and start learning how to not depend on entertainment to have a fulfilling life” right?

We should be boycotting all art and entertainment from Big Media in its entirety, but nobody is willing to do so

Any plans to start saving up to move elsewhere, by the way?

It might be my inner prescriptivist at work, but while I understand the need for a singular they, I absolutely loathe it’s accompanied with a singular are. If the language is being reformed, why not take a page out of AAVE and start using “they’s” and “you’s”?

Since engaging in society means indirectly endorsing all of its evils, and even interacting with questionable people is functionally equivalent to platforming them, the only ethical thing to do is to become a self-sufficient hermit. Problem is, there aren’t enough terrains on this planet to allot one fully decked farm for each inhabitant…

To be fair, he’s got a day job as an IT architect in an university, so I think he’s set in regards to finances. Codevelopers on the other hand, those would come handy - especially for knowledge transfer

My relatively obscure and hopeless choice is Golden Sun 4

“Could you please not use the phone? Gotta dial up to connect to the BBS”

Considering that I don’t have a car, I’ve been boycotting most media and many brands for years, and I have no friends because nobody shares the same ethics as I do? Yeah every purchase is and should be a moral dilemma. (The proper solution is to drop society and go raise my own crops in the middle of the mountains, someday I’ll save up to do just that)

No joke, it’s pretty much impossible to find a car by a manufacturer that didn’t benefit from human rights abuses one way or another. Most European cars are from companies founded (or funded) by Nazi Germany or its axis friends. Same goes for Japanese cars. In the US, either the founder is a seething racist (like Ford and Tesla) or the company has been collaborating too much with the army (like Jeep). And don’t get me started with China.

Time to /r/insert plenty of /r/references to /r/unrelated /r/subreddits just in case

At long last, some theming support for Adwaita! I really missed being able to change colors, at the very least

Many local governments have lists of local businesses to support, you could try finding your city’s municipality’s website and see if there’s such a list.

@bilbobaggins The good part: my self-hosted VaultWarden supports passkeys, so I’ve added them to everything I can. The bad part: Android does not support third-party passkeys on Android 13 and lower, and guess whose phone is stuck with 13 being the latest official release for his smartphone - that means that the websites that completely substitute the password with a passkey, such as PlayStation and Microsoft, are currently off-limits for me because I’ll end up locked outside.

@downpunxx In his defense, the issue is not with Judaism but with the current government of Israel. There are plenty of people jumping at the chance of muddying the waters and conjoin both groups as inseparable.

@catloaf Wouldn’t be a bad idea, if it weren’t located in the city of San José / St. Joseph

Ah, now THIS is the kind of AI that we can all root for.
