That’s what it’s become. But, hear me out, what if I want the hardware without the software? Tough luck? Both are so tied together that if the company pulls the rug you don’t have reasonable access to the hardware.

I don’t want to cook after I get home from work. From scratch, doubly so.

It’s like they’re drawn to the warmth of a book burning.

We need more FOSS. If our governments weren’t utterly captured we could publicly fund worthwhile projects.

Yeah, that comment was based and tame to get a ban for it.

It’s just an exhausting uphill battle that never ends. I don’t have the time or resources to combat monied corporations.

I’ve almost lost complete confidence in anything I see online as true. These image filters to full on bots are distorting what reality is in very negative way. Most of the things still can be filtered out if you’re paying attention, but how long until the tech becomes indistinguishable from actual human engagement? 5-10 years is my guess.

I think, on average, we’re too dumb as a species to keep it in mind. I would hate to say we deserve the system we’ve got, but here we are.

It honestly makes me genuinely sad. He definitely has complexes and holes in his soul to conduct this behavior. Doesn’t excuse him from being a complete asshole though.

Fair points. There isn’t enough context to know what is appropriate. But, I try to live by a “Don’t be an asshole” philosophy.

I love Studio Ghiblis films. Yes, most of them are slice of life and have a similar feel, but they stay far away from fanfare tropes and that’s just refreshing. The characters are fleshed out and dynamically complex.

Yeah, sure, but you’re potentially messing with the business’s customers. That’s not cool. Just stay the appropriate time to enjoy your meal and make room for others to enjoy it as well.
