That's what it's become. But, hear me out, what if I want the hardware without the software? Tough luck? Both are so tied together that if the company pulls the rug you don't have reasonable access to the hardware.

We need more FOSS. If our governments weren't utterly captured we could publicly fund worthwhile projects.

They don't. It's all bad faith to get what they want - control.

There's a sweet spot between concentration and dilution. I hope lemmy can self regulate that ratio.

I would love to have the same story but more fleshed out appropriate to the character. Add way more exploration of the eras. Maybe a couple more playable characters that are already established in the game like Schala or Azala or one of the gurus in their younger form.

It's just an exhausting uphill battle that never ends. I don't have the time or resources to combat monied corporations.

If you're ever at a decent greek restaurant get the saganaki. It's a salty fried sheep cheese and it's one of the most glorious things to exist.

I've almost lost complete confidence in anything I see online as true. These image filters to full on bots are distorting what reality is in very negative way. Most of the things still can be filtered out if you're paying attention, but how long until the tech becomes indistinguishable from actual human engagement? 5-10 years is my guess.

Basically it costs too much to recycle most plastic. It's just so much cheaper to sell it to impoverished countries that will either burn it or dump it somewhere.

I think, on average, we're too dumb as a species to keep it in mind. I would hate to say we deserve the system we've got, but here we are.

It honestly makes me genuinely sad. He definitely has complexes and holes in his soul to conduct this behavior. Doesn't excuse him from being a complete asshole though.
