Everyone to a degree is contributing to the problems we prop up. I realize and understand that even if I stopped doing whatever I feel I’m contributing to the problem of, I’m only one person and I’m not that much of a difference maker. Okay so I stop, but what about the 999 people left that are still contributing to the problem? How long will it take them? Will they ever notice? I doubt it.

If I change for the better then good for me I guess, but just simply me stopping is not going to change the world. This has to be a group effort and until the rest of the group changes for the better, nothing will be solved.

No I don’t. It’s just a dumb internet toy and I’m glad Lemmy and the Fediverse treats it like that. It used to annoy the fuck out of me with Reddit, where they tie your account to it. Too low or negative? Good luck posting anywhere or tripping the spam filter bot that thinks you’re an evader so you get banned over it.

People have this idea in their heads that the higher their karma is, the more righteous they are and that they can’t think or say wrong. When, based on experience, a lot of the time that people with high karma counts happen to be from the most insufferable bastard human beings I ever come across.

Dude, get the hell out of here. Stop turning everything political.

I like to donate and purge things that I think have lost all levels of relevancy to me. If I look at something, think when the last time I’ve used it was, if I feel anything at all for it anymore and if I foresee any future use for it and base my decision on that. It has helped greatly in making my apartment look entirely manageable and not be a hoarder.

I would have to trash my apartment around to make it messy as if it was a hoarder’s place, but the most mess I ever get is maybe I forgot to grab a plate or two or maybe some things are left behind. Things that take no time at all to deal with while still maintaining a decent apartment.

I also do shadow-blocking too. If I see someone who’s going to be an antagonizing prick for no reason to someone, good reason to block just to save you the future trouble if they decide to target you. There are just a lot of people online who treat it as a hobby to go around shitting all over anything and everyone.

I do this a lot whenever I have my 5-year cycle of migrating accounts. If I have lost track of and forgotten entirely the purpose of an account I had once made and know it is not essential or required, it is gone.

Unfortunately, there are services and places out there online in which they do not allow you to delete accounts. I wish this would be a federal law of some kind because it would lessen your footprints online. It is bad practice and I automatically label them as data farms because really, what reason do you have to not allow people to delete their accounts? You’re setting people up to be collected in data breaches and therefore your data falls into the hands of someone you wouldn’t want to have it.

Well for one thing - document heavily on the idea of the product. This is a must. Figure out your target audience - who or what is this for? Figure out an rough draft of costs and ideas how much you’d like to have sold this for.

And then once you figure all of that out, you’re going to need to file a patent.

Wherever and however this idea of yours will come about, these are the kind of things that are important to deal with.

Freedom to Breed. Easy for me, because I don’t plan on having kids ever and I don’t really think it is a good idea to be having kids if you’re unable to sustain them much less, yourself.

If a better world means we have to limit the amount of people we bring in here until everything chills the fuck out, so be it. There is absolutely no reason or benefit to bring in 3 - 12 kids at a given.

I hate having to store hop. This happens all of the time to me with Dollar Tree. I live near like 6 dollar tree stores. I’ll be looking for, say, work gloves. So I go to the one next to me, shit, they don’t have it, well now I gotta decide how far I want to go to the next one. I go to the second closest, fuck, they have gloves but not the kind I’m used to. Fuck, gotta go to the third one but now that’s a little further away because I had to drive a bit away from the other two. Same applies to other stores.

No

Uh, no? You don’t know how Open-Source works. Floorp can technically be self-funded because it gets grants and donations to sustain its development. You act like everything relies on Google’s funding when that’s not entirely true.

No. We’ll just use Firefox forks. Seriously, why do people always think there’s either Chrome or Firefox in this world? Are you too scared of difference and alternatives?
