I like the “Free The Artist” side quest.

That is all.

Nice try detective, I’m not giving you away my secrets

0 cause I feel there’s not enough content to have subscriptions so I just scroll by top/active.

Whenever it breaks, really.

I’ve had this phone I pretty much got for free since 2016 I believe (2 for 1 offer), and even though battery has gotten pretty weak recently, it works quite well as long as I don’t watch videos.

Windows has a better initial setup. Often, when installing a new distro I gotta spend a couple of hours installing, troubleshooting and customizing what I need on Linux (even on beginner distros) while on Windows, you just install it, download a couple of apps from the web and restart to catch up on updates.

Here’s something about American politics to provoke a lot of people, especially on this site:

Donald Trump should be elected in 2024 purely to serve as an exam to the left. Liberalism clearly doesn’t work anymore, there’s a lot of discontent in the world and a shift towards far-right politics, while left is almost non-existent in almost any country, it doesn’t have an answer. With Donald Trump getting elected for his revenge term and demolishing democracy, hopefully it’s a catastrophe strong enough for the left to wake up.

Finally an opinion I vehemently disagree with, have an upvote

Shattered Pixel Dungeon - a pretty good FOSS roguelike, gets updated every month or so. Can be a bit hard to learn and beat the game for the first time but trying to go farther and farther each run is really fun.

wasn’t there some drama where some other cracker group exposed “her” as being some bulgarian dude?

I would usually have issues with my wi-fi, where the connection after a reboot won’t work and the wi-fi GUI would reset itself everytime i tried. Network troubleshooter would fix it 100% every time and quite quickly, so there was no reason to actually figure out what was at fault.

I’m someone who doesn’t consent to data collection when it comes to choices given by GDPR - if I visit a new website and I get the popup that says how they value my privacy, I’m always going to customize the settings and have everything disabled.

However, as of “recently” a lot of websites have added a “legitimate interest” button which as far as I understand is a loophole, and unlike the other advertising options, they’re not checked off by default which is annoying.

I use the same wired earbuds on my desktop PC and on the go, so yes.

I think this only applies to popular channels, I’ve noticed this on critikal’s videos, maybe someordinarygamers, but when it comes to smaller channel sizes (around 100k), I see people having discussions about the video’s content more often.

It’s definitely bots that plague more popular creators, but I don’t doubt there’s also people who see these bots getting popular by posting the most generic bot-like messages just to get likes.

Cars - Even if it makes my life extremely difficult in today’s day and age, I’ve decided to try my best not getting/buying a car. I’m in Europe, so this is much easier to do than in US, and I want to see how far can I go with a bike or public transport only.

Blizzard, Bungie, Activision, Bethesda (at least titles developed by them) - anti consumer practices, even though some of the games are definitely good. As for Bethesda, I still would be down to buy games published but not developed by them, though the only one I’ve ever gotten was Dishonored.

Google and Microsoft - terrible privacy, tries to monopolize things. Actual evil companies and I don’t really like them, switched them out completely from my daily desktop life and I couldn’t be happier.

I didn’t mean it like that. My comment was about how a lot of billionaires, governments and politicians seem to believe that capitalism is the only system that can ever exist in a civilized society, and how there can be no alternative (some prominent influential figures that held this belief or something similar were/are Larry Kudlow, Margaret Thatcher, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Ronald Reagan).

There’s also the fact about how in the 20th and 21st century there was a significant effort to undermine any alternative ideologies in the western liberal democratic world. The various anti-red campaigns by the US, Thatcherism that destroyed the significance of unions in order to completely remove any possibility of a revolution (and turn workers into free-market commodities), there was also this very recent event in 2021 where during Rosa Luxemburg peaceful memorial event in Germany, police suddenly came up to disrupt it, presenting false motives.

There might be something better, a society or a system that serves the many instead of the few, but such non-capitalist system would go against the interests of the rich and the ruling elite, so there’s an active heavy pushback against it. Even when it comes to politics, the political left is definitely outnumbered at least in my country rather than political parties that lean to the center or the right, which are the parties that keep the status quo or even strengthen the elites further.

I’m approaching this from a leftist point of view, and my arguments are probably not perfect, but at least that’s how I see it. Capitalism is definitely better for people than Monarchy/Aristocracy, but it could definitely be much better for the people.

The notion that capitalism is the end-all be-all of how society functions/works.

If the state is controlled by unsavory people, then you probably have bigger issues at hand than them controlling the housing.

If the government is extremely authoritarian where being a political dissident puts you at risk of persecution, then you wouldn’t be able to stay at your home regardless. If the government is extremely corrupt and hand out the best apartments to their inner circle while leaving everything else to others, then it would still be an improvement to the current system, at least in my eyes.

Point is, there are far more effective ways to mess with people you don’t like if you’re a state controlled by unsavory people. That being said, a country has an interest in having a population as without it, there’s no country, no production of food and other things - going full evil and just committing genocide or mass homelessness would not make any sense.

Meanwhile, the interest of private land/property owners who hoard/acquire land/property with the intent to either rent or sell is to make as much money as possible, they don’t particularly care if it gives someone in need a roof over the head as long as they’re making money.

Also, with the housing crises around the whole world, the amount of vacant houses that would alleviate or outright solve those crises, and many types of fraud going around the world when it comes to building new housing, it’s safe to say that the current housing system is controlled by unsavory individuals. In the real world, not in a hypothetical scenario.

Apologies for the long reply.

Houses and similar private property should be owned by the state and be given out to those in need for free, rather than owned by private individuals to sell/rent and make a profit. It’s literally a basic human need that’s becoming less and less accessible due to greed (constantly rising prices and scams landlords might try to pull), and it’s very easy to just lose one if you’re unfortunate enough to be unemployed for a longer period of time.
