Morals are subjective, I don’t consider myself the arbiter of truth and I also reject theistic positive claims stating otherwise such as objective morals or free will. Personally I know I can survive without eating animals, so I’d rather not be indirectly involved in the killing of other animals where it is reasonably possible and I don’t consider humans more important/superior to any other animals, generally.

I think you could get a lot of people to even admit to valuing very old trees over a lot of people too so even some plants are worth leaving alone, according to some of us. Like Red Wood giants in Cali, for example. All the land cleared of wildlife to grow food for billions of humans is disturbing stuff at least to me as well. The planet is actually kinda… small. I’ve come to realise. I fully reject humanity’s unearned superiority complex.

I acknowledge it’s hard/impossible to be absolute in the vegetarian ideal given all the ramifications of industrial overpopulation and just casually participating in the society I was born into. Best I can do on this suffering planet, that I never consented to being born to live temporarily upon pointlessly, is to minimize (elimination is unrealistic) the suffering my life inflicts on others.

In other words, I don’t owe anyone jack shit, not even Mommy Dearest. Yet I still stand by this moral position. Although I’d argue this is just who I am and always was. The justications put into words and labels applied came later. You’ll notice I didn’t condemn meat eating in this comment and that’s quite deliberate. You are not me. I just explain my position when asked and it’s up to others to adopt it or not.

Lazy! CachyOS sets up system snapshots and I could one click install gaming related packages. It’s not much really, I could install regular Arch instead but meh.

Pretty low ROI brainrotting a couple thousand people I figure, not worth bothering. Tankies do it for free.

You’ve been very patient with this hostile git, commendable.

2001: A Space Odyssey

I like behind the scenes footage far more than the movie. I can appreciate how it’s made but I absolutely can’t stand to actually watch the resulting movie.

I was thinking about:

Server costs, vast increase of bad actors and bots, legal scrutiny, international government narrative manipulation. Overall quality drop from LCD majority who aren’t typically early adopters of any new social platform. Stuff like that.

This is your first comment on your new account and you chose to be an asshole. Congratulations.

And suffer all the problems popularity brings.

Nothing, officer. I didn’t see who keyed the car.

I think the AUR isn’t possible to keep using as-is so hopefully they come up with some sort of vetting process. Invite system like a private torrent tracker? Idk really.

I try not to use AUR. A few exceptions being the actual program developer maintaining the AUR repo and recommending that method for Arch users on their github page or whatever.

The length of the chain link fence segments sadly go against that hope 😅

Idk beep maybe you’d repost credits redacted comics and get away with it for a little longer next time with your talentless AI edits where you replace the original art with AI slop to ban evade.

There’s no appropriate compensation for creators of manga, and at the same time, all the publishers, they don’t receive income or revenue because of the piracy issues,” Ugaki said. “Then they cannot allocate enough budget to create the next works or next line of work, so this influences the entire ecosystem of this manga industry.

This frames it like pirates hurt their bottom line which isn’t logically sound given they just acknowledged no official English translation exists for the majority of manga.

That’s where Orange aims to make real change with its digital cross-publisher manga app emaqi, scaling official translations of never-before-available titles in a creator-friendly way.

I’m not installing any DRM data harvester ridden app or paying a subscription. I want a Bandcamp equivalent for digital manga and paper books.

I look forward to the slight bump in Mozilla userbase.

I try to not use any, I have 6 and 4 of those are maintained by the developer, not some rando.

One I really dislike is that CachyOS when you install their gaming software bundle…it uses the AUR version of Heroic Games Launcher instead of their own repo and CachyOS does not maintain the Heroic AUR AFAIK. I guess because AUR updates more frequently than their own repo? I think it’s bad practice.

Opportunists? It’s how Danielle Smith in Alberta, Canada is often described.

The only way I’d touch a bypass like this is with a sacrificial PC which would never connect to the internet/home LAN ever again. I’d still have to come up with a way to get the files onto it in a safe way after the first game gets run with a bypass.

This lvl 0 stuff can potentially overwrite firmware, so a wiped storage drive isn’t even enough* to be safe as I understand it.

Not very realistic.

What’s the old saying? A monster cannot imagine someone better than themselves.

That’s why they project all the time.

I never subbed even after using free trials because all of these subscription services follow the same capitalist shareholder corporate path, doesn’t matter what it’s for.

Initially cheap, good “value” and designed to be habit forming to retain their userbase. Operate at a loss. Then they jack the price up every year once they hit a magic number userbase goal and start cutting costs at the same time. Quality drops, price goes up.

Fucks saaaake.

There’s many studies, so here’s two:

tl;dr: the massively increased rate of rocket launches and re-entry satellite burn-ups is creating a significant amount of pollution that is probably damaging the Ozone layer.
