Life is “simpler” when you realize governments (and hence the State) are just bullies that exercise their power through physical violence or economical violence.

It’s nice seeing the EU taking some positive steps

Yet they helped introducing the super cookies and are trying to end encryption on communications.

Like, we don’t need government.

Welcome to the anarchist. Now you have to pick your flavor! Social Anarcho-syndicalism, Anarcho comunist, anarcho-capitalism, anarcho christianis, and the list goes on!

I found LLMs helpfuls to develop some scripts and answer some simple trivial questions (like how does house property work in China). I could have looked for that in a regular search engine though. But that’s it, I am still happy looking for things myself and investigating since you can’t really trust their answers.

I was just thinking about my moto x play still working. Shame about updates

I felt how you felt when I was moderating a forum, so I can relate. In the end we do things for love but if others profit from our work it’s less fun.

As long as I can visit through old.reddit I will keep visiting, less frequent but still. Thanks to old.lemmy.world I can also browse this place at peace.

I can’t stand the modern design on both sites.

Thunderbird already works.

I don’t only hate discord I don’t understand it. I don’t get why a chat server needs threads and most of the functions are useless in general.

heck even in the few servers I am, most of the channels I have them silenced.

Internet forums will come back when AI overtakes Reddit and Discord goes awry because they go public.

“Starting over” is how we learnt Windows in the 90’s too

Look I didn’t mean my reply as: “you suck, you should post every way possible to get away from amazon” but as a “there are some things out of our control and we cannot escape from them unless we don’t use the internet at all”

Getting away from amazon as a shop is kinda easy, just don’t shop there, thanks for providing alternative shops though.

For the user asking for ways, the user needs ways not just one way out of a single amazon service.

Amazon is more than a shop. You can’t escape amazon web services.

The lingering feeling of instability. This is my second install of OpenSUSE, after I messed up something leading to my computer having some files which it wanted to update, but using urls which didn’t exist. After this, I’ve been feeling a bit insecure and afraid of doing something that ruins my installation. I know there’s the saying that Linux ‘just works’, but I’ve never messed up a Windows installation…

Regarding this. How often did you mess your windows installation when you started? Because I started around 8 years old with MSDOS and I screwed Windows many times, eventually I learnt what to do and what not.

Regarding software today it’s easier than it’s ever been in Linux. With flatpack, appimages and the different repos.

Anyway there is this scene in the show “Bojack Horseman” where the titular character was trying to do some exercise by running up a hill and he is tired, exhausted, another characters pass by and says: “It gets easier”, “uh?” answers Bojack, “It gets easier but you have to do it every day, that’s the hard part”.

What that means is, it will get easier, specially when you are young, but you have to be constant, you have to keep messing around and do backups.

Here is the scene from Bojack

That being said, I am huge fan of opensuse and debian but eventually on my desktop I went with endeavour-os, the only time I screwed it up it was easy to fix it by using the live-iso editing the config files and fixed, now I keep a journal when I change anything :)

Betterbird wouldn’t exist without thunderbird though. Same with all those firefox forks people are recommending, if Firefox goes under most of those would go under too.

I don’t even have kids and I have protection in place at home to block devices from accessing sites, not exclusively porn tho, gambling and social networks.

Porn can be bad, okay, but if we taught our kids properly it’s not that bad and curiosity is ok. Gambling is terrible and more and more people are getting addicted to it.

Fuck government paternalism.

I rather buy another Korean or Japanese car. As an European except for the electric r5 I have no interest in European car makers, much less from a company that should have disappeared after dieselgate.

Funny how you say “my communities” and then “discords run them”.

It’s already bad enough that a lot of dry cat food in the market has grain (and the high cost of grainless alternatives) to even considering giving vegan food to a cat pffff.
