What a condescending comment. Even if you hated me, that’s not enough to tell anybody they need nothing without knowing them thoroughly. They used loaded language as soon as I suggested that veganism is frequently a source of cultist behavior. The irony here is, using loaded terms as “murder” and “torture” is actually violent.

You should become a vegan. More power to you.

I do care for plants and the planet, but seeing the world become vegan is an army of unicorns, and not even an option, in my opinion. I know what an ape is, I know not all apes behave like you described and I know what a cannibal is.

Ultimately, I’ll eat whatever I can and whatever I’m comfortable eating. Don’t come calling me a “murderer”, an “immoral”, or a “torturer”, that’s just toxic.

Greenpeace-like, in the sense of the methods. Oh, come on, my message was deleted but I’m happy it remains cited by you. You don’t deserve less. That guy above calls everyone nonvegan a “murderer”, a “torturer” and “amoral”, but you are offended by my message?

Typical vegan mindset, categorical for everything. Since taxa is the same for you no matter the level, hey, why do you eat your brothers fungi, herbs and tree babies? Are you some kind of a cannibal?

It’s, again, that categorical mindset of veganism, as they divide the world into them and the others. While they all do occur, that doesn’t mean it always occurs everywhere. And yes, eating meat sometimes involves suffering, but that’s not the same as torture.

I assume you know what “frequently” means. Otherwise, do these lifestyles classify people in categorical terms as vegan/meateaters or morally right and wrong?

I could see an argument against industry standards on meat production, but the base argument of veganism is flawed when all these things you list do not occur. And yes, veganism is frequently a cult in my experience. They tend to surround of themselves, assure themselves to each other and avoid discussion of their mindset. AAMOF I was turned off to discuss here, but as I randomly got to know I’m being downvoted, I will engage.

No need to argue here.

Veganism is frequently a cult.

Well, the current government don’t like yellow-brown-black people. They also started little feuds all over the world, but everybody knows the big beef is against China. Also, in a war against the USA, the commander in chief of the USA is Trump. Food for thought.

They did identify themselves as FBI, but who the fuck knows.

Yes. The ways of a State of exception are swiftly showing.

Maybe you can check their code at github. It’s open source, their bugs history and issues are there.

Woah, Slackware. You know your stuff. Respect!

I can personally recommend fruux for calendars and contacts, but their free accounts are rather limited.

Well, let’s hope Brutecat is a lamb. Jesus.

Keep doing your thing, it will reduce the probability of being owned. Maybe you can’t avoid to give your data to the government, but you can change to a bank that doesn’t require it. You certainly can buy things without giving up your biometric data. You can absolutely ditch social networks that want to have it. Of course, if you have a store and want to sell in this specific marketplace, then you can’t avoid anything of this, except maybe the bank, but you still should try a different bank if there is an option.

It’s not pointless to deny your data to, say, Elon Musk or Google, if you already gave it to get your passport.

I use and older phone for banking, stock firmware as updated as it can be. VPN connection, no SIM, powered on just for transactions. Still, my bank requires a location for every transaction, supposedly by law. In the beginning I thought I should spoof the location to a fixed one, but I’m tired of this shit, too. It feels like it’s impossible to just be in peace, at the same time, apps are being used to rob clueless people their savings and to discriminate, alienate elder people.

I use a VPN. At least I try.

Yeah, that will fix Apple being total utter assholes. Giving them what they want always fixes everyone being assholes.

Perfect for the genius bar.

Of course people can use whatever they want. In my case, I think Ubuntu based distros can’t deliver the best performance for gaming because they use older graphics stacks and kernels that, by the way, are configured for generic hardware and performance. On the other hand, I have been using Linux for more than 20 years, so I can take this issues and solve them if they keep appearing.

Yes, there’s no doubt in my mind Nobara is not mature enough and shouldn’t be recommended to novice Linux users/gamers. Using Fedora instead of Nobara, is way easier for a regular user, comparing the upgrade process of both was like night and day.

Xiaomi phones usually get their source code published. From there, you may want to choose a Qualcomm device, for some reason developers prefer these to build device trees for custom ROMs. If you don’t mind having an older phone, you may want to check the list of officially supported phones for reputed custom ROMs like Lineage OS or Pixel Experience and buy one of those. I’m guessing that phones in China are cheap and options are numerous.

Steam Deck is a game changer. There’s no doubt about it anymore.

I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with the word “futo”. Do you mean the swipelib file?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

*every five minutes.

Well, they say they may be shutting down soon. I think it’s fair.

Don’t want to be a douche but don’t you think someone else may have uploaded one of two? It happened to me, they used my name too.

So, let me grasp your comment, are you saying that this is not creepy at all?

EDIT: To clarify, I find both things creepy, the telemetry and the insistence to ping home no matter what.

“xAI”. The success of this AI will be measured whether it changes its name or not.

I’m just upvoting all the “lol”, “lmfao” and “hahaha” comments.

Sure, but if you rely on Nitter in any way, you may want to have a look at their GitHub issues page. I really hope they can still provide the service as long as X exists.

FYI, nitter doesn’t work anymore or, at least they’re having a very hard time trying to make it work again and again.

Huh, most of the time. I mean, people like you don’t have to use it at all, but I prefer to just press “Update all” once if I have >2 updates in a row.

Does it have an update all button? That’s what prevented me to keep using it some months ago.

Not OP but I’d like a “just works” experience if that’s the deal with SteamOS 3.

It’s still not click and play, but most of the time it is. I wish companies stopped shipping game launchers, I’ve been pulling hairs with 2K, tweaking here and there to be able to launch a game.
