Because he is correct

I inderstand fully. I used ti go through the same. At the same time I noticed a big difference when i got married. And a huge one when i had kids. Having a child and being responsible for it is a life changing situation. I tell my self that i became an adult not when i turned 18 but when i became a parent. When this happened to me, my perspective about work stoped revolving about being the best, and turbed to be just and help others be better. That made me soon to realize that those 2 cannot get always together.

Tldr: work 2 live > live 2 work

They would be better called GenX shooters. Cheesy aaaand accurate!

Thankfully I could use my Plex “streaming service” to have all the Pokémon seasons in one place

Just wait until they find out public schools are giving their children dihydrogen monoxide without asking for parental approval.

You can’t give dihydrogen monoxide to children. Fish fuck in it when there are large quantities of it.

Being an arse ain’t so bad

unlimited powaaa!!!

reminds me of this scene from Idiocracy

In case you can’t have enough of him :p

fyi, the Parthenon was specifically designed so it didn’t have any straight lines, even when it seemed. It’s part of its perfection as an architectural masterpiece and one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

Once there was Vanced and now there is Re-Vanced. (if you’re on Android)

Thank you for the very informative post. Your professional way of handling the issue, puts corporate professionals, “cough” Reddit “cough”, look like the amateurs they really are

The excuse was the 3rd party API shenanigans on Reddit. The real reason occured, as I expanded my stay here, and realised that without Federated Social Media and Open Source Software, humanity will turn into a neo-feudal barbaric age of cruelty sooner than later

You have a point. At the same time, the silent generations kids, the boomers, lived through every technological breakthrough, on times of huge economic growth. Also they owned cheap house, had almost free tertiary education and a better labor market. Lastly they had access to banking dept and never woried about the environment. Now they are reaking all these benefits and while they fucked around for us to find out.

Our societies have a tendancy to be more authoritarian, autocratic and consumption driven. The way the corporations are using anyone’s data is not transparent and there is no accountability for it. There is also no monetary reward for the use of my data.

Therefore, I prefer to use open source apps and federated SM.

So to answer your question, I would like transparency and accountability about my data usage, as well as compensation. And no I would not like more ads. Since I realise that my preferences are impossible, I try to make the switch I referred above

jellyfin goes arrrrrr

If you are referring to corporate “free” products such as email, cloud and media consumption, I use them until I’m able not to and switch to open source. ex. Gmail -> protonmail Google Drive, photos, contacts -> Next Cloud YouTube -> Jellyfin etc. If you’re referring to corporate Social Media, I just refrain from using them, except FB at the minimum due to contact with old relatives. For other Social Media consumption, I ditched Tweeter (or X or whatever) and Reddit, never used Instagram and TikTok. Switched to Federated SM like Lemmy (Duh!!!) and Mastodon.

TLDR. I value my data,but I draw the line in accordance with my ability to afford it

You should concentrate your efforts to live, not just survive.

That depends only on the competition.

20 years ago I payed €65 for 4Mbps. Now I m paying €25 for 200Mbps + a landline with unlimited local calls + an android box (that I use for PLEX and retro gaming) that provides 50+ channels through an app.That was the last renewal.

I also switched my cell provider. I used to pay €42 for unlimited calls, SMS and Data. Now I pay €25 for the whole package.
