True, in a better system, we’d have superior solutions to posterior cleaning than the barbaric, wasteful method of using paper

Edit: and better autocorrect as well

You pay for water, electricity, maybe a gym membership…

I don’t think you should have to pay for any of this

Any service that is subscription based is dead to me. I’ve reached my breaking point.

Funny how the people who want to harm the oil companies are “terrorists,” but the people literally destroying the earth are not

At risk of sounding like an insufferable individual, I’ve completely had my fill of Microsoft. I’ll have to still use it at work, but I’m transitioning everything into Linux.

What finally made me make this decision is when I read about Microsoft’s vision to make the Windows OS completely cloud-based.

I’ve also had to fight with Windows 10 so much just not to be redirected into Edge, show me unwanted promotions, or, worst of all, restart my machine without my deliberate consent and in spite of making registry edits (If I leave my computer on overnight, there’s a reason, I don’t care if it’s “inactive hours” or whatever they want to call it.)

Whatever I miss out on by using Linux just isn’t worth the hassle anymore.

Paying Microsoft is like paying a ransomware scammer

No amount will ever be enough to satiate their depraved lust for money

“I’m not anti-homeless, I just [anti-homeless horseshit]”

Is this a novelty account? lmao

A. This leads to politeness fetishists and tone policing. If someone says something offensive like “we should remove LGBT+ books from schools,” I’d rather shoot myself than speak nicely to that person.

B. This has not been my experience with my fellow Americans at all. I even saw a mod from lemmy.world post mod-flaired horseshit in their politics community about how “The US is not a racist country.” Fuck that.

This blackout has really shown which subs have actual in-touch moderators, and which ones are just the admins’ puppy dogs

A while ago, I had a comment auto-removed on WPT and got a message it was because my account was “not in good standing.” When I messaged the WPT mods, they explained that they were test piloting a new tool the admins plan to use. For example, if you have a throwaway email address, no email address, or are connecting via VPN, you may be “not in good standing.”

With things like that on the horizon, even if they roll back on what they’re doing now, we’re still not likely to have a very good time on that site.

I can’t blame the mods who are trying to make change through protest (and who may not even be aware of the “not in good standing” BS), but I don’t plan to stick around, and I don’t foresee a very bright future for reddit at all.
