Or for some reason you are an AI that thinks it’s a person.

If y’all want to fanboy logic your way into a complete waste of resources and time then be my guest.

Wall Street investors took you up on your offer.

People have already mentioned ProtonDB for games. Another website you can use for alternative versions of software is https://osalt.com/

I’m using an arm CPU and it works really well. There’s even a lot of Flatpaks that support arm to fill in any gaps. Debian even has a version supporting RISC-V

One of us! One of us!

They would not sell (nor profit) something that people refuse to buy.

So they are wasting money on hiring advertising and marketing companies?

Then there’s also planned obsolescence and licensing deals that make it impossible to continue using and repairing things (even mechanical things like tractors, and living organisms like crop seeds).

Sure, people can try their best, but there is only so far we can go before it gets so inconvenient to not fall into the consumerism trap.

I actually do not alienate, but I do criticize when necessary.

I have a close relative who took the red pill and is all in on the manosphere. Sometimes he sends me, and I’m not even kidding, 30 messages in a day about all the manosphere content he watches; but we still hang out and talk. I don’t comment on everything he sends me if it is something we have already debated over. If it is something different or something I find to be egregious, I do call him out on it.

To be fair, some days are harder than others to hear his bullshit, and I take a break and mute his messages for a while. I feel overall I still value him as a person and it is important to interact with him. However, I can also empathize with those that want nothing to do with someone who holds those opinions.

True, but that doesn’t excuse that he promotes behaviors and thought patterns which reinforces reasons why people have certain attitudes towards men.

Or maybe if there were less young boys listening to Andrew Tate there wouldn’t be that attitude towards men?

As a matter of fact, you did

I am a paid user of Tuta and I have never seen any ads. Where did you see them and what kind of ads?

Me too! I am truly part of the lemmy community now.

The water is tested and 99% of the time it is probably safe to drink. But who knows how much of it you will drink before it is discovered (and then even longer to reveal) that there was an issue with the water.

Where I live has heavy agriculture and oil industry presence. People here are concerned over pesticides and random chemicals randomly seeping into the water system.

LoFiGirl definitely needs to chill, she is working 24/7/365

And the tuition is a way to exclude (with few exceptions for publicity sake) “the poors” from entering. This way the capitalist elites can keep living in their bubbles and use it as a means of making connections to further their businesses

That’s why they had her dress as Marilyn Monroe in American Gods

Yeah, what is the key verifier thing? It’s not like it’s Windows and needs a purchased license key, right?

That sucks about your friend. I can relate.

Scammers hacked my elderly mother on her windows laptop. They tricked her with an ad saying there was a problem with her computer, and they had her install remote access software. She mentioned seeing the terminal so I assumed they installed (at least) a keylogger. Luckily, they either ran out of time, or their con took two days, but they said they were going to call my mom the next day and have her log in to the bank to make sure her computer was still working.

So, I wiped her computer and installed Linux Mint with auto updates set up. She only had one simple question about logging in to google chrome and that’s been it for the last month. She has just been using it no problem.

Side note: The next day the scammers had the nerve to call my mom and ask her why her computer was turned off.

more than likely it was the two emails in the gmail app
