  AutoHotKey on Wayland is my entry barrier. Not a fan of X11

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you use a self-hosted, AI-powered search engine for your favorite sites?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI uses so much more resources than standard search engines and it comes at a time when the whole planet needs to slow down climate change

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Dark take) Ghibli filter trend is just people hiding how ugly they are⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hot take: ugly and beautiful are meaningless subjective concepts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone have ideas for cable management here?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s my idea: manage the cables.

  You don’t need ideas, you just need to start.

  It would not surprise me if America stopped giving out food stamps and started giving out fast food vouchers instead.

  Doesn’t that then qualify the content as shitpost? 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Applying for public assistance in the USA⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I support socialist policy at a national level and and polite sovereignty amongst nations.

  Being ‘globalist’ can still be defined as compassionate and productive relationships built on the acceptance of diversity amongst cultures.

  I cannot even see how, as one species, there can be an us and them? We must learn deeply that there is a unity where we are both the same and also different at the same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cause-effect was always a broken narrative. Twice-broken when you attach a pricetag.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OP, you’re clearly on a path to enlightenment, which as a process is expected to undermine previous ‘knowledge’. However, you’re here attempting to guide and teach others using the logic of limited concious awareness that is bound by scientific observation and preferences for opposing dualities. In other words, minds lost in delusion. Even the use of words, which are only a representation of reality, are not sufficient for the task.

  Regarding cause and effect, I’ll say this: It’s common to think the past effects the future due to the illusion of time. When a boat passes by and we see the wake, we say boat is cause and wake is effect. But the boat does not make the water move. With modern science we understand that the boat and the water are atomic matter, it is the atom that moves, and we do not know what moves the atom and creates form. Further, a conclusion reached based on a convenient seperation of concpets, i.e. considering only the boat and wake separate from the entire cosmos, is laughable.

  True cause, or the one great matter, is a mystery and cannot be known. The true effect is the eternal and unwavering present moment.

  Of course America has turned an education policy into a financial derivative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Robots might be gross⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They could have concepts of self maintenance, which include cleaning, degreasing and re-lubrication during repair. Would that be considered clean by non-biological standards?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t a shitpost, it’s a little touching and breaks down stereotypes. Well done OP

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cloudalist’s and their technofuedalism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TransPeople are real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People are people, trans or otherwise.

  I believe this is what was added

  A shitpost is happening

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨trump puts 25% tariffs on Aussie steel and aluminium⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair point, worth tracking though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨trump puts 25% tariffs on Aussie steel and aluminium⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe BRICS is already working to replace existing USD backed global rare earth and commodity markets with new markets backed by gold and BRICS currencies and without speculation based pricing.

  America is no longer a superpower and will soon become just another country to plunder for resources, including human labour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A symptom of believing they are better than others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is prostitution, but so what? What is inappropriate about two adults undertaking an agreed transaction for sexual needs that would otherwise go unfulfilled? A disabled person already has so many limitations in life, any opportunity to expand those limits should be supported in my view. As a taxpayer, I support my money being used for these services for disabled community members.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NDIS participants can no longer access sex worker services through funding. Advocates say it's a 'deep betrayal'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree also

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having $270 billion dollars and spending the bulk of your time trying to make more money is like weighing 900 pounds and thinking "ooh, I bet I can get to 1000".⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The same could be said of someone who earns a low income relative to a billionaire (e.g. $80-120k) depending on the country they reside in. Money doesn’t buy happiness folks, life experiences do 🙂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it okay to take drugs to make yourself a better person? Does it make a difference if "better" is mental or if it's physical?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you want to be better? What is the problem?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The irony is the use of technology to ask the question. Your level of tech use and engagement is a personal choice. You can minimise or stop anytime. Most choose to minimise, I’d suspect because some innovations are quite useful.

  Also, in an existence where the only constant is change, where every moment and conscious perspective is uniquely different and where novel complexity only increases, it would be wise to cultivate patience and a neutral perspective on change.
