and we’ve been trying for decades to reform our system for a better voting system. first past the post elections force strategic voting. that’s the kind of elections we get. the only place where vote shares matter is for distributing public campaign finance funds.

I think a Tribe Called Quests Excursions. Someone else mentioned that it’s a shame losing all memories of a piece of music because we as a species associate music with our most precious memories. Here’s the thing: Excursions is timeless and woven throughout my life. I’ve relistened to it so many times and got more from it as I’ve matured. I wonder how revolutionary and fresh it would feel to hear it today with my adult understanding of the world

Oh for sure. The solution isn’t to raise the price of unfairly priced products, its to introduce the concept of accountability to the world

My thing is that there’s a minimum price for fairness, and then there’s products that present themselves as being marked up for fairness that don’t actually benefit the people a fair price should benefit. Your best bet is to do some research into what the minimum fair price something is, and then look for something that price from a local economy.

Unfortunately, this is next to impossible. The systems in place favor us never knowing where anything comes from, and the research tools we used to be able to use to find fair prices (internet search) have been broken for this purpose for nearly 10 years (not just AI bullshit, but all those SEO pay to play bullshit listicles that even infect real human driven testing processes like The Wirecutter and Gear Lab). I think there’s even an argument to be made that AI is an intentional device to steer us into a digital dark age where finding real trustworthy information is nearly impossible.

I’m not convinced that’s not exactly what this particular starlink device was for

Yeah with how many leaks come from war thunder players… lol

Funny, that’s what I hate about Nano. The key binds seem completely random to me and the programs solution to this is to display a cheatsheet on the screen

Or Brazil. That’s the eight largest economy in the world. They headline BRICS for a reason. Sure, China is the true headliner there, but the fact is that Brazil is included in those 5 countries for a reason (multiple actually). There’s absolutely no way for a single individual to eclipse the value of the world’s 8th largest economy. Pick a country with a lower GDP than Hungary and then we’ll talk

Swiso is also good. I don’t remember the URL right now

Maybe I’m an idiot, but I can’t find a source link. Is this open source? I was curious about finding information comparing it to darkreader

Slant.co used to be similarly useful before its company shut it down to focus on Vetted.ai… Less useful though since almost every outgoing link was an affiliate or ad link. Alternativeto.net has been kinda the best option since the late 00s

It increases implementation complexity of the browser and loses people who fund Firefox and contribute code $$$

Funny how all these social media corporations were run as ponzi schemes…

Storage is cheap. Losing valuable data is expensive

Do you mean UI? Because the UX of Debian is “here’s a menu to pick all your things on install. Get used to picking all your things all the time because this distro is a baked potato”

Personally I love that UX and its what draws me to systems like Debian and Arch because no one knows what I like better than I do, so why should I be using someone else’s vision of what a good UX is

Many of their conspiracy theories are distractions from the very real and very scary conspiracies they’re actually engaged in

Hence Google’s proposal to DRM the web

God the Pebble was such a nice piece of hardware. They really focused on the shit that mattered

I been looking at nabbing an amazfit and setting it up with gadget bridge (and then uninstalling the huawei spyware app into the ocean)

“The market demands” we’re always told. Meanwhile half the people I meet wish phones still came in reasonable sizes. Really makes me think it has less to do with what the market demands and more what the product managers at the tech companies prefer for themselves
