I always try and do my own repairs. Coffee machine, bicycle, electronics, anything that I’m capable of doing myself without risking catastrophe/death (I stay away from plumbing and electrical repairs mostly). If I can find a way to save money (cut my own hair, home gym instead of gym membership) I try and pursue that so I need to spend less time slaving away for my employer.
I wish I could do major repairs at home too, but I’m forced to rent so not legally allowed to.
Nihilism is one of those concepts I can never remember a definition of, so I end up having to look it up every few years.
Recently I’ve been called nihilistic for my opinion that bringing children into this world is irresponsible, because they will be likely to experience suffering, without an opportunity to first consent to being born.
If nihilism is defined by an absence of moral values or a lack of caring, I don’t see how it would apply to my stated position. I choose not to have children precisely because I care, and couldn’t justify taking the chance that my child wouldn’t want to exist.
I’m probably misunderstanding the concept, but so far I haven’t been interested enough in it to do a deep dive and read Nietzsche or whatever.
I’d rather die
Omg the one that played the cantina music?
Its a little annoying, but much less than I always feared.
Make a note with every service you can think of, brew some coffee, put on some music and zone out for a bit haha.
Pretty much done now, took less than 2 hours.
You got this!
This worked as a great reminder to ditch gmail. Just made the switch to Protonmail after a year of procrastination. Currently an hour into changing all my accounts to it, and about halfway done. Well worth it. They got a Black Friday deal right now. I went with the base Mail+Calendar package because I already got Mullvad for VPN, and don’t need cloud storage.
Couldn’t be happier. Fuck you Google. Fascist fucks.
…what, so we save a fraction of a second before we’d press the button anyway?
He’s just another fat dragon who got rich exploiting people through ownership of capital.
Then he got children hooked on gambling because one billion wasn’t enough.
He deserves to be locked up like the rest of them.
Cops also love them because they make getting access to your entire phone including all accounts simple as cake if you use fingerprint/faceID to unlock your device.
lol sure
Long live the new flesh

Right now? Yeah, its very easy to do, and there’s a download link for it included in GrapheneOS’s preinstalled app-store.
I am however worried that eventually Google will make running custom software (apks, alternate firmwares) so difficult that development for those will stop long term.
I’m a male vegan anarchist and reject every form of mistreatment based on immutable qualities like species, ethnicity, sex etc. At the same time women in my life have consistently broken my trust, which has left me with some generalized cynical views about them. I also believe that the west is at a point where women often receive preferential treatment in sectors like education and hiring, so advocating for them while men are left behind doesn’t make much sense to me. I do not consider myself a feminist.
I switched my 6a to GrapheneOS a few weeks ago and the battery lasts like twice as long, its unreal.
A comfy way to grant “law enforcement” access to all your accounts once they seize your phone.
We don’t know how consciousness arises, and digital neural networks seem like decent enough approximations of their biological counterparts to warrant caution. There are huge economic and ethical incentives to deny consciousness in non-humans. We do the same with animals to justify murdering them for our personal benefit.
We cannot know who or what possesses consciousness. We struggle to even define it.
