When comparing between similar levels of economic development, socialism has always provided better quality of life than capitalism. Even in less developed countries, it meets the basic needs of the average person moreso than any capitalist country of similar metrics, without exploitation or imperialism to get there.
I think the T480 is a great deal but be aware of the Thunderbolt firmware issues. It’s fixable if the firmware is not yet fully corrupted and if the firmware is up to date it shouldn’t be a problem, but I’m dealing with a dead thunderbolt chip on mine right now and it’s terrible
I like Mull the best. It’s pretty much just Firefox+arkenfox for mobile
Don’t tell people how to use their computers u lame
Yes, early 20s USA. Learned at 18 and drove manual every day until I sold my last car in November
Agreed, have you tried Dearrow? It’s from the person who created SponsorBlock and is a crowdsourced way to get rid of the clickbait
Such a huge step to finally ridding ourselves of that garbage proprietary driver stack. There’s still so much work to do but hats off to the team!
I use Mozilla VPN, which is just Mullvad but more expensive. I want to support Mozilla though and enjoy the integration with my multi account containers so i stick with it
If you care about privacy and security, matrix has some glaring flaws. The biggest IMO is not currently encrypting metadata, so who you talk to and when is plaintext. The signal protocol encrypts everything, including the meta data.
When I smoked I’d use an air purifier, with a window open and fan running, as well as using a sploof (slang for this might be different where ur from) and sometimes burning a candle. All those combined and being sure to dispose of your ash quickly should reduce the smell. Your best option is a dry herb vape though, and that’s better for your health too
Sugar alternatives like allulose and monkfruit have been making my life so much better recently. A little more pricey than sugar, but so much better for you and allows me to keep enjoying a sweet cup of tea in the morning without any of the downsides
I use uYou+ through AltStore
I completely agree with your sentiment: I was totally invested in psychedelics as a tool for psychological healing, and while they do have therapeutic benefits, recreational use is not how one achieves that and sometimes leads to people believing some really irrational things about the world amongst other side effects. I tripped at least 16 times in 2020, but I kinda lost count, and while at the time it felt like I was making breakthroughs and gaining insight, those returns diminished quickly and i was left with strong feelings of depersonalization/derealization/dissociation after stopping which made the issues I thought I had been working on so much worse. I’m still glad I had the experience of tripping as I did have some beautiful times on acid but be careful doing that stuff
I completely agree, but don’t forget that WebKit exists too on Mac and Linux with about the same market share as Firefox (at least based on w3school’s stats). Chrome/Blink dominate but all hope is not lost and there are more options, they’re just small. I think focusing on embracing Firefox/Gecko as it has so much momentum and community already is the most productive way forward though
They can tether to your phones data
Wait have u not gotten your XiBucks yet?
Capitalism is a socioeconomic system in which private individuals (capitalists) own the means of production and employ others to work them. The employer exploits the employed through wage labor, a system in which the surplus value of a laborer is taken as profit for the capitalist. Capitalism is often characterized by market relations and generalized commodity production, but there are always exceptions as in any system.
It’s true, I’m somebody who has run DIY distros daily for years and decided to try out Debian on a spare computer recently. I couldn’t even update the system after the initial install. It took me like forty minutes to find a thread which explained to me that Debian 12 has a bug with some raspi firmware that requires you to delete three files before apt will work, and there is 0 indication on the paths themselves, just people who have figured it out and were generous enough to share the knowledge. You can’t blame new users for those things, we as a community need to improve the software and the attitudes
Fedora KDE, Kinoite, or Nobara could all be of interest to you
