Starting with someone’s dotfiles is a much better way to start with these minimalist window managers. You can see what they did and only tweak the the things you want to work different. Still not as easy as a DE’s unified settings, but if you like that fine grained control it can be worthwhile. My setup is quite basic, but having everything bound to the keys I want lets me do what I want quickly.
Wouldn’t want bad actors to find privacy respecting software.
More generally, just use Libredirect and avoid using a ton of important but shitty websites. Breezewiki in particular is fantastic, so much faster than Fandom and it’ll redirect you to a game’s actual official wiki since Fandom SEO’s itself to the top even when it has shitty misinformation and isn’t maintained.
I don’t hate my coworkers that much.
64 ounce Stanley water jug. I throw ice in it and I have something cold to drink all day. It’s beautiful.
Bidet has been good though now it feels gross to shit at work and my politics demand I shit at work.
Contact grill, ie a GE brand George Foreman. I can’t fuck up flippimg shit if I’m frying both sides simultaneously. And a food thermometer so my colorblind ass isn’t relying on mom’s shit advice to just cook it until it’s brown.
This battery car starter / tire infator / phone charger. I have used it with some frequency, but more often I can just roll up and fix someone’s car problem super quick. I even get out of work with it a lot when a customer needs someone to jump their car or fix a flat (also keep a tire patch kit obv).
All of this is bought from thrift stores. I can only assume most of my shit was originally shoplifted, it’s fantastic. There is just so much good shit being sold for almost nothing, I am the KING of expired Chips Ahoy.
there is a cure for incontinence and all those people wearing adult diapers are simply cowards
My main reason for buying a 6 refurbished was GrapheneOS. Beyond that, it’s a phone without an SD card slot or an easily replacee battery. When this phone gets an issue I can’t fix, I’ll probably re-evaluate what to get - hopefully still a GrapheneOS phone but more repaiarable and expandable.
I have exactly one use for Brave and that has been Steam Deck’s game mode as Firefox’s context menus don’t work in gamescope, and Brave at the time seemed like the best ad blocking Chromium alternative. Apparently it’s not, so fuck it.
aren’t you on a fucking anarchist instance, ding dong? shut the fuck up, we don’t do “apolitical” theatrics here.
And the absurd thing is that we probably should use natural diamonds for jewelry, as it is a waste to synthesize such a common rock. If they weren’t hoarded and aggressively marketed as something you have to have, they could just be a neat rock some people are into, there wouldn’t be child slaves dying to dig them out of the ground.
If it’s wedding ring, the marketing has been about how the purity of the diamond is symbolic of the purity of one’s love. So picking an uglier, but purer, diamond then coild be about prioritizing love over beauty or whatever in that person’s head.
So not necessarily exclusive to people wanting to present themselves as wealthy, that sort of emotional manipulation convinces broke people to blow their savings on a ring all the time.
There is Rock Pi and other SoC’s that have that. That H3/H3+ looks like a good option for a low power server for self hosting.
It’s the lack of hardware AV1 that concerns me, as well as droppong h.264. Raw CPU means it’ll still handle the latter, but since streaming will be moving to AV1 it’s kind of questionable whether this will be a reasonable media center.
Wait, paru can handle flatpaks?
Man, not even the cheap shit. $9 for 26.5 oz jar. How much did that even cost to do?
Worse. The game is Pathfinder 2e, the GM is following WBL, and if you use that healing potion - or literally any consumable ever - you can’t sell it to get your +1 striking rune a little earlier.
Divine blessings are not for me to use during tough boss fights, they are for my opponents in PvP to spam knowing they can just save scum from a backup save.
RE does help somewhat with limited inventory space - I find myself shooting weapons with abundant ammo to make room for new loot, despite being a consumable hoarder myself.
I mean, it works by your logic. Carbon caps are very easy to game and continue to fail to change behavior, as shell companies simply “sell” their credits to others. Meanwhile, sabotage materially - as in not on paper, but physically in rhe flesh and blood world - makes polluting more expensive, because equipment gets damaged, needs repaired, and might not get repaired. Even supressing it isn’t free, because cops and bribes lobbying costs money and as we saw in the 2020 uprisings the cops cannot be everywhere at once.
Were there a protacted, popular campaign of sabotage that called the state’s bluff, there simply wouldn’t be enough police or resources to actually make any of this profitable. Actual concessions would have to be made by governments and corporations. This is why the state has been so spectacularly violent against climate acticists despite even green scare “ecoterrorists” simply tying themselves to trees - it actually works. The state belongs to corporations and corporations aren’t going to just let us do shit that meaningfully undermines them, if they are actively suggesting the solutions themselves then it’s because they know it won’t require them to do something they don’t want.
It aleady has been. Anything, anything publicly posted and available will be harvested by, at a minimum, Google spiders. The only privacy benefits of any site can only be promises that they won’t share the information that you don’t publicly list.
And even then,.all it takes is the feds raiding a dipshit Kolektiva admin to get that information illegally anyways.
Do not organize serious actions over social media. At most, hold sensitive discussions over private, E2E encrypted chats like Matrix.
