  Genuine question: what alternative would you recommend? I was planning on buying a few for various projects next month with my next paycheck but now I’m not too keen on funding them.

  I can’t wait to have to pay a subscription fee for some aspect of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ya know,⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s how Twitter was born

  If you make them, he will cum

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Time to Ditch Evernote for One of These Alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep! As the other commenter who replies to you said, it definitely can. You don’t even have to selfhost it; the app’s developer hosts a cloud sync server you can pay for thays dirt cheap. You can also sync notes without the cloud server. There are a lot of ways you can use it without having to get into the technical aspect of it!

  I boost Joplin on here every chance I get, so please allow me to do so again now! I run it with my own sync server and a small userbase of about 6 people on a cheap VPS. I could not be happier; between the webclipper, sharing, encryption, embedding of pdfs, photos, even mp4s, ease of selfhosting, it’s an amazing project! It’s been (knock on wood) rock solid!

  Darknet Diaries is so good! I love his show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google develops selfie scanning software ahead of porn crackdown⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Like VPNs. Pretty simple.

  Downside is it will push teens to free VPNs and those are almost always malicious.

  Absolutely assinine regulatory decision brewed by people that do not understand how the world or people work at all.

  As a clutzy person, I can’t imagine how anyone can do that. That’s super impressive!

  If you find out please feel to clue me in

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Climate tipping points are nearer than you think. Our new report warns of catastrophic risk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You ever just think to yourself

  “Wow I really AM going to live to see society collapse under the burgeoning weight of its own destructive greed,” and then stop and think about what you’re doing with your life? Because I do that periodically and it is bone-chilling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Title⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone saying they’re the bad guys is armchair quarterback-ing a people’s fight against annihilation.

  If YOUR people lived in a militarily patrolled, constantly surveilled, walled off piece of your former homeland, from which you couldn’t leave to go visit a hospital without your oppressor’s army’s approval, and that same army tried to calculate food rations to keep you only just above starvation to keep you passive, and could arrest without cause and indefinitely hold you….would you really say that a group of your people were wrong for lashing out? Now on top of that, the civilian populace can be given permission by that same government to take arms and evict you and your family from your ancestral home. Are you wrong for lashing out?

  What a fucking joke.

  Uh no Israel are the good guys. They told me so.

  Wait. You mean to tell me that giving kids terrible educations…makes them more susceptible to being stupid assholes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not if the lack of grammar and education gets you first...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes! Strap me to the millstone!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not if the lack of grammar and education gets you first...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah people this dumb either think it’s a good thing and revel in it or are incapable of forming the thought/reaching the level of self-awareness that allows them to think “maybe I’m stupid.”

  But spicy autocorrect is going to steal my job next month! Benzinga told me and my boss so; when he does fire me it totally won’t be a self fulfilling prophecy!

  (Don’t worry, if this ages poorly I WILL delete this comment.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Horses replace electric is the circle complete?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean… “Hoof Hearted” was a real horse name. (Read it out loud)

  I wish this was satire but it’s just weirdly fetishistic propaganda. It’s not even subtle; it’s pathetic.

  Okay so a cursory reading of Wikipedia (yeah I know, not the most credible) shows that you are correct about him being one of the key players in starting the online bank X.com with Peter Thiel and crew.

  I concede that point! My apologies for casting aspersions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X is reportedly selling inactive usernames for $50,000 — The move is the platform’s latest attempt to raise revenue⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Close!

  He doesn’t come up with anything. He just got lucky buying into other people’s companies based on their ideas.

  I’m sorry, I know this is off-topic, but you mentioned the cyber truck…

  …have you seen how ugly and stupid the cyber truck looks? It looks nothing like it’s primo materials; it’s just an ugly stainless steel slab. It’s laughable.

  IIRC there’s an episode of Jacobin Radio where they interview the author. Really fascinating, actually! I’ll dig around after work and try to find the link!
