1. Stopped being a celebrity altogether (either because of pivoting to human rights activism, or just pivoting to capitalism)

I preliminarily started to boycott art in general to be on the safe side of history roughly in 2020, with some other boycotts I was already upholding before then. The only thing I miss is that I have no hobbies left that I can share with others, at least not without feeling guilty about it.

Closest thing I found was adding a close button directly on the toolbar. No min/max buttons available unfortunately. Or you csn use a specific window decoration with a locally integrated menu: github.com/Zren/material-decor…

The move to digital-only distribution should have more than balanced out the increases due to inflation. The fact that games are going over $70 is solely to appease the shareholders, not even to keep the developers’ salaries anymore.

Corporate needs to have somebody to sue in case of a policy violation. Very especially those debloated apps that float around the web - they need to ensure they have a physical person to pin the blame to in court.

Calling it already, one of the most popular apps around will be a wrapper around ADB in order to install new apps - maybe Shizuku or Sui?

A surprising amount of KDE apps have Windows builds - most importantly for me, KDE Connect. Barely any need to use Windows Phone Link anymore!

Both developers have been actively hostile to DEI initiatives, and at least on the case of DHH, also coddling with ultranationalism viewpoints.

Considering that the two projects funded by Cloudflare are headed by known bigots (Andreas Kling and DHH), it makes me distrust Cloudflare even further.

Besides of me still being an average cis straight male somehow? That nailed it

I should probably go get a replacement screen for my old OnePlus 3T, while I still can…

In good theory, what they want is to have foreign companies employ Aryan… sorry, White™ Muricans exclusively, from material extraction to end consumer. In practice, what do they even have to gain with that arrangement, where they can be far more flexible with their production chain elsewhere?

Back on Reddit, there were even complaints that EA’s anticheat was conflicting with Riot’s anticheat. Yep, now you potentially need two different installations of Windows to run each of your games. At this point, you would need to buy several SSDs and a SSD extension (or an external USB reader, since USB speeds nowadays are relatively fast enough to afford running those games from an external drive), then install each game (and operative system) in a different one, and swap between them before booting, just like a cartridge. Same would go, of course, for your actual main GNU/Linux drive that contains your actual personal data - that way, the anticheat can’t even see your personal information, as it’d physically unplugged from your computer. And since Windows checks the license per motherboard, not per drive, you should be able to recycle the activation key between your Valorant “cartridge” and your Battlefield “cartridge”. At this point, paying for a dedicated game console and the online pass starts becoming attractive…

…That, or just boycott multiplayer games altogether. If your group of friends doesn’t mind, of course.

Missed the chance of writing it as “testing different bistros” but yeah, facts no printer

Somebody online said that she probably got a discount on the originals thanks to her rerecordings devaluating the value of the first records - and, you know, that’s a galaxy brain move

You mean “boycott all privative culture and start learning how to not depend on entertainment to have a fulfilling life” right?

We should be boycotting all art and entertainment from Big Media in its entirety, but nobody is willing to do so

Any plans to start saving up to move elsewhere, by the way?
