Hello, RedNote.

It worked for me. I had 78 new games played last year alone, and a good amount of them were ones I’ve had in my library for a while.

I saved them from a landfill! They smell kinda weird though.

I take it as more of an observation and use it to be more mindful of what I buy, the services I use, etc. The reality is that we don’t know what happens behind the scenes with so much of this stuff, but we can still be conscious of it and use it as an opportunity to reduce clutter in our lives.

Agreed. If I haphazardly ditched services based on the opinions of tech folks, I’d be reduced to using a pair of cans attached with string and nothing else.

Yeah, I think (hope?) we will find that his opinion is not echoed among them.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and that applies to tech. I pay for Proton and this is disappointing af but not shocking. Corporations and wannabe billionaires always fold to fascism.

Gonna start looking around at alternative email services to consider but I use my Proton email everywhere, so switching away is going to suck.

Yeah, that’s how I hope this plays out. I’d love to see a fork take off with a healthier community.

WordPress is dead. Those contributors have all been there for ages. Without them behind it and Matt continuing to shit where he eats, there’s no coming back. It will stick around because it runs a metric fuckton of the web, but I foresee it basically being in a state of super unexciting maintenance mode.

This dude is burning down his entire city just to prove some vapid point.

Had a boss years ago here in the US that told me I had used up all of my PTO during a time of mourning and funeral preparation. My dad was dying/died during that time and the boss was telling me this because I had to take 2 weeks off to spend time with my dying father who was in Hospice with cancer, as well as arrange the funeral and care for my mom.

The empire can’t burn fast enough.

Hey at least it’s Minecraft and not Roblox I guess lol.

Thanks! I feel like this was more intense for me as a kid, but has mild slightly. I never thought to actually look it up. For me, I don’t know if I’d categorize it as a fear. I guess so but in a less… horror sense? I love how weird brains are.

I’ve had a weird sticker phobia since I was a kid. I fucking hate any sticker touching me. Even the threat of one being stuck on me makes me want to initiate fisticuffs. I used to have the same issue with tape but I’ve managed to get over that (as long as the tape leaves me within seconds). It’s weird af.

So yeah, any sticker I get has a 99% chance of either getting tossed or never being stuck to anything lol.

This thread is funny because it’s filled with a bunch of libs criticizing but bringing nothing of value to the table except vibes, and communists and comrades providing extensive source material to support their arguments, while avoiding low-hanging fruit like ad hominem.

If you’ve ever done any sort of research into democratic socialism, you’d quickly learn that this is the way. Criticism and self-criticism are at the forefront of cadre training and will make you a better person. If you view a person trying to provide you with educational material as your enemy while you spout off vibe-driven nonsense, you’re not getting the picture and are still hindered by your country’s propaganda, as well your own apathy and ignorance. You’re criticizing people that are passionate because they see a chance to have a better world for all working class—you included—while responding with empty words.

Unchain yourself from the criticisms of figures your country has implanted in you over your lifetime, and think in terms of ideas.

Doom: oh thank fuck its not me this time

It gave us a tiny fleeting look into a world where a united working class has power and outnumbers the ruling class.

It sends a message and that message was heard. Rolling Stone and probably other outlets, published an article talking about the collective disdain that the working class has expressed in the wake towards the healthcare industry—a hatred that reaches across aisles. It’s a tiny reminder that the working class outnumber the ruling class. Don’t rule out more things happening. People get inspired.

Are people still shocked by this stuff? I just expect them to do whatever they want like they all have been for years.

I’d prefer their pleas as I prepare them for the guillotine.
