We know he’s a monster and yet we do nothing to stop him. The laws are powerless. Simply shooting him is seen as gauche.

Valve makes drm easy but I’m pretty sure the developer can choose to not include it. It’d be on you to back up the files in that case, though.

I don’t think we should let this guy just walk around. He’s clearly a danger to himself and others.

I mean, I imagine there’s still a window where you can ask for it for free, but you make an interesting point. For many people, it has lowered their cost of food. I’m not sure all of them could have found free food as easily.

Her father said two of the three drinks she was accused of “stealing” were about to be thrown out.

Too many places throw out perfectly good food and that should be a crime.

There’s an app “too good to go” that lets you buy some discounted food at EOD, and there’s probably other similar things out there.

Where I used to work at a supermarket, I made friends with the deli guy and got a lot of food before it was thrown out. Management didn’t like it, of course.

I tip generously at my local bar and in return they sometimes give me free stuff. Got a whole sandwich recently.

A friend of mine at least once ordered delivery from the Mexican place that was directly below her apartment. She said the delivery guy was a little confused. She had a lot of depression at the time.

Ah. I’m on Pop!_Os, which I think is downstream from Ubuntu. So it’ll make its way to me eventually, I guess. Not sure how to track that, heh.

Naive question: does this just come in with like apt update, or do I have to go out of my way?

That’s like several months of food. Or years worth of video games. That’s so expensive. Even if I was a big fan of the sport, I wouldn’t be able to justify spending that.

They’re stupid and it’s frustrating that we have to deal with them or suffer global consequences.

Probably. They could have used their wealth for anything but they’re like dragons. Do you mourn for dragons in stories of knights slaying them?

I enjoy many social interactions.

Went to a concert this weekend. Chatted with the person running the merch table. Briefly chatted with a rando at the bar. Was nice.

Went to a party this weekend. Had a nice chat with some people I’d met before. Maybe came on kind of strong to the socialists in one conversation, but it was fun.

Lemmy probably isn’t going to get you a representative sample of people.

I mostly buy music from bandcamp. Drm free, different format options, you can stream before you buy (if the band has it configured as such)

Ah that’s interesting. I’m too much of a pack rat and the idea of selling some of my music makes me uncomfortable. Though I guess I have some games that were duds I wouldn’t mind selling.

buying drm-free digital media is probably also okay, if you back it up yourself.

i don’t do any subscriptions, myself.

There’s this consistent line through modern history: right wing ideas are bad. It keeps happening. Right wing politicians have power, they do stuff, and it goes badly for most people. And then, somehow, few people learn, not enough decide “hurting the outgroup isn’t worth my own suffering”, and they get elected again.

Both

Probably get more return on resources investing in therapy to address phobias, in that case.

That doesn’t sound much different than a traditional vaccine, unless you can self administer it
