I use myinsta. It’s great for removing ads, etc. But there are some minor glitches (eg. repeatedly asking for contacts/location permissions) and it seems to take up more storage.

Yeah, the article says the rich got 7% richer in 2023 for a total of $49b.

That’s about $3-4b gained in 2023.

For me anarchism not about opposing a particular state (eg. your own state, some enemy state, etc) but about opposing every state and “the state” in general.

From this perspective there’s always nuance when one “state attacks another”. What are the states? What is their relationship? Why is there conflict? How does this affect me and the planet more generally?

And so someone’s behavior could vary greatly depending on the situation. If you’re living in nazi germany and your “country” is attacked, don’t collaborate with the nazis. On the other hand if you’re invaded by nazis, it’s probably worthwhile to fight back - perhaps in the military or perhaps not. In many cases both states are terrible and it’s a struggle to just survive their violence. I’m using nazis at the typical extreme example but most states are built on similar principles: fascism, xenophobia, patriarchy, colonialism/imperialism, etc. So many conflicts fit into this general framework.

TL;DR: It depends on the situation.

“VR” at its heart is just 3D goggles, motion sensors, software, etc. So yes it’s overrated but I don’t see any tech reason why it couldn’t be mainstream. It takes a really dumb and shitty company to fuck it up.

Is this supposed to be better somehow? Personally it doesn’t make much difference to me if Meta created their own shitty VR or bought a decent VR then made it shitty… The result is the same.

I’m not sure if you’re joking but I think sometimes there’s a button on the Captcha with an audio option.

Yeah agreed 1000%.

I’ve installed Gnome for people in my fam. It’s kind of absurd when they want to change the text size and we have to get into installing Gnome Tweaks, installing browser extension, installing the Gnome extension, configuring the extension.

I just use Plasma now.
