The first one I get it, but the second… Then don’t anything, why live when there is eventually suffering? Thats just a sad and misserable way to think damn. And there is actually people reasoning like this, why 😭

WASM is that much slower? I get that needing a f*** Js wrapper to be able to use the DOM cannot be good, but is there really that much of a difference?

Fair point. Mostly price, you can get one for like 100€. I also feel like the used market is more fair than buying new, so there’s that.

LAN party!! You have the optimal excuse to make one happen ;)

Honestly, when my current laptop dies, I will just get a used cheap thinkpad just like anybody else or even SSD any trash-going relic. If you want some alternative, someone commented this that looked interesting: https://mntre.com/reform.html

Although it comes with obvious limitations: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/is-the-mnt-reform-the-best-repairable-laptop-available/113321

Yes… But sadly no? First example that comes to mind, you can check “dhh blog” on the internet (🤮) and if you read enough you will get to see the kind of person he is… You can also check this about Hyprland: https://drewdevault.com/2023/09/17/Hyprland-toxicity.html

I mean, when the political stance of the supported company is “I would literally murder you of I could” the politics become kinda relevant 🥲

Yes, and in fact I am collaborating in a neighborhood project for the implementation of a local ISP. Obviously you are right, with the way the internet is built it is inevitable to depend on some centralized systems out of reach, I cannot lay a submarible cable xD. But other than in cases of absolute need, where there is really no alternative, I want an internet more like it was before I was born, just people communicating using local infra, not Internet Monsantos

Never used it nor never will, I want my infra to be as independant as possible, and also fuck internet centralisation and fuck corpos

Sounds super fun to do! Not something I’d use atm as we have a propper setup, but defilitely worth the read. Thanks for sharing ;)

“I have my own Netflix and Google Drive and Spotify etc etc”

Up until 3 years ago I was unfazed by the concept of death, unbothered even when relatives perished. I did not think much of it. Now, every year that goes by, I am tormented by the idea that Blue is a bit older than he was before. I have not once cried since adulthood. Around my 40s however, I fear I will.

Gonna pet my idiot a lot now 🥲

Dammit, I was considering using it D:

Cool. In other news: Fuck Google and fuck Chrome too

The ones about the police may vary between regions, otherwise pretty cool

Hi, I identify as extremely leftist, guess my opinion on that. I don’t like tankies either, but well, I do believe it is ok to spit on fucking fascists, y’know

Good

What is the “BTC” in the soldier to the right? Please tell me it’s not bitcoin

Yeah, sometimes its not practical avoiding certain projects (see fucking JavaScript), but promoting and funding is a major barrier and red flag…

Offtopic, but whats up with the cyrilic looking character you are using? Is it to fuck with bots or something else entirely?

Impressive 😏
