I was having a much better Christmas before I saw this AI slop on my feed.

I use it all the time! Works great.

Archive.org, Wikipedia, Signal, Mozilla (I feel the same as you), and a bunch of patreons for artists.

You might be interested in supporting Nebula, which is sort of like if YouTube was a creator owned coop. Lots of good content on there and I feel good about giving them money to compete with google.

Fresh meat!

We followed your recipe last night! Subbbed beef for Impossible and added half a butternut squash because we needed to use it. It was fucking delicious, thanks for sharing. I’m never making chili without cocoa and coffee in it again.

The terrible irony of a for-profit company using the Anarchist A. I hate it.

I quit cold turkey about 5 months ago after smoking for a decade. Might start again, might not. I still get cravings. If I do start again I’m going to make myself learn to roll them by hand instead of buying packs so that it’s cheaper and takes more conscious effort.

The only good printer is a dead printer.

The fishing minigame will probably feel really hard at first but it’s fun and easy once you get a feel for it.

The differences between Lawful Good and Lawful Evil are mostly aesthetic in my opinion. (They’re both evil.)

Two great games that are perfect for Steam Deck - Hades and Hollow Knight.

I’ve participated in in-person protests with various groups about a dozen times a year since 2020 and I don’t even live in a city. People are definitely out here protesting, we just don’t get any media coverage at all unless we break things.

edit- in an attempt to actually be helpful - search the internet for any progressive or socialist activist groups near you and sign up for their newsletters/follow their socials. Try to attend a few events, and there you’ll hopefully meet people who can get you connected to local anarchists/more radical folks who go out and protest a lot. Then you can carpool with folks and share expenses and have a safe group of people to go to protests with.

You’re not entirely wrong but the Pal system itself has a good amount of depth - Pals have traits and skills, and are weaker or stronger against different other types of Pals, so you can be very clever about what skills you teach them and what fights/environments you take them into. The game can get very easy if you exploit this system properly but is quite challenging if you ignore Pal stats and just grind levels and gear.

It depends on your threat model. If you simply want fewer targeted ads, there is a benefit. If you are a journalist under a dictatorship, there is little to no benefit.

LibreTube from New York

Yes, he is a major character in the single player campaign along with Gary Oldman, Mark Strong, Gillian Anderson, and others who provided voice acting and facial performance capture.

The only way to use google play services and retain any privacy is to completely sandbox them, and the only OS that actually does this is GrapheneOS.

I worry for the heels on those shoes.

This - I’m a photographer and I try to avoid doing weddings, even though they pay more, because of the sheer stress involved.
