You can get a laptop with no OS preinstalled just about everywhere.

I’m pretty sure SMT has prior art.

Now only if there were a nice alternative to Android. I might get a Fairphone with Ubuntu touch.

Shitting on hard work and effort of indie devs and then wondering why the gaming ladscape is filled with souless corporate slop.

Hustle culture really did a number on us, huh guys?

Hwaet is witþ þe þorn?

I watch torrented shows with VLC on my laptop. Why would I want a giant smarphone that spies on me?

This would make more sense with Emacs /ducks

Dead Kennedys were prophetic when they named one of their albums “Give me convenience or give me death”.

I am toying with the idea of creating a PDA of sort from a raspberry pie, touchscreen and a powerbank. Case can be 3d printed, it would be bulky af and equipped with Tails or some other secure OS.

I just chug a gallon of coffee and get on with my day. Not being productive would only make me feel anxious for being behind on chores.

On a related note, I wish we would acknowledge that men socialize different and that guys doing stuff together is therapeutic. Ruminating on emotions can have a negative effect in men, while work therapy can be much effective that talk therapy.

NAS devices can hold several hard drives, and most of them have wi-fi and other networking capabilities

I find it funny how we’ve resorted to streaming services in an age where you can put 256 gigabytes ono a pinky nail sized storage solution. Ereaders are even better, my old Kindle with 4gb of storage can hold an entire library.

And deprive capital of all that cheap labor? Have you no heart sir/madam?

I’m dissapointed because video game romances are dull as fuck. You hit the correct dialogue choices, have sex, and then they’re just nice to you for the rest of the game. Give me romances that go sideways - maybe they’re so disgusted by you hitting on them they leave the party and re-emerge as a minor antagonist later on, maybe another party member gets jealous and straight on challenges you to a duel, maybe they’re already boinking another party member, anything but the pansexual protagonist that everyone wants to fuck.

Remove yourself from algo driven sites, set up an rss reader and hand pick your media, subcribe to newsletters of trustworthy media sites, delete useless apps from your phone or better jailbreak it and install graphene, get an e-reader secondhand and start reading etc etc.

I stopped going to church because the community was composed of rank hypocrites and bigots. I can have communal spaces elsewhere.

Wayyy ahead of you.
