Happily using Linux at home. Played some elden ring today, and the original fallout last week. Did some writing in libre office. It's fine. And free. I never have to tinker with it.

I don't know what it does on Lemmy but I'm clicking the gold star on this reply

This is as much a movement as it's going to get. Peer to peer.

I know. People are an endless source of disappointment.

Refuse to pay. If we all just refused to pay, they would have to change.

But too many people don't care, so I guess we'll all just suffer.

Google is run ~~my~~ by assholes and idiots. Break it apart.

Edit: fixed silly typo

I feel like we should run honeypots like this, and anyone who falls for it goes right to, like, therapy and "how not to be scammed" training.

WhatsApp, sms, and Google chat (hangouts? Meet? The thing built into Gmail)

None of them are great.

One of my friends is some sort of neurodivergent and just... won't install signal. It's "too much". I don't understand this. It's 30 seconds of "click this link I sent you, then click install".

The "american dream" has always had a problematic contradiction. You should work hard. Working hard is good. You should work hard so you don't have to work anymore. Working sucks and you don't want to do it. You want to be the guy on a golf course getting money while those hard working people assemble widgets for you.

Well, which is it then?

The freedom was always kind of dicey. Sedition act of 1798, for example.

Women also historically had a bad time of it. And the native peoples. Queer folks, too. Religious freedom is hit or miss.

It's been pretty good for wealthy people, historically. They've been pretty free.

I've seen some funny comments, but the ones that are like "ur so hot" are baffling.
