  Chill, I mentioned Russia because that’s where even the white dude this story is about had visa issues.

  Those don’t go through super racist places like Russia.

  I can’t do that, I have bone spurs (actually though)

  Most of them, sure. Every single one until proven otherwise, yes. Every single one, no qualifiers? No.

  Brands like Shelly allow you to completely disable the cloud, which AFAIK makes them stop phoning home completely except for update checks.

  I think a lot of “Home Assistant certified” brands are good privacy-wise, as that means that they don’t care about pushing you onto their proprietary cloud.

  I also psyched myself into remembering magic stuff when I was an impressionable child and visited friends who are into Reiki.

  They’re all hardcore covid deniers and generally conspiracy nuts now, so good thing we didn’t continue forcing ourselves to deny reality in favor of woo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you noticed this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just more unbiblical shit.

  First they made up hell as fan fic, then they made up ways for innocents to go there.

  I’m an atheist, but even I know that everyone deserves salvation according to the Bible. Jesus is extremely clear on that lol.

  Firefox.

  The classic versions of Firefox and Thunderbird are still at the heart of what Mozilla does. These remain our biggest areas of investment — and neither of these products will force you to use AI

  Collectives are better. Share risk, responsibility, and reward.

  I’m OK with jumping through more hoops – once.

  Once I told the device that I know what I’m doing, it shouldn’t be more than a pop-up.

  Would it be “Risius” or ”Oryzaius”?

  I just joined the devs’ instance for technical support reasons, not ideological ones.

  So no, I still don’t know what you mean.

  The fuck are you babbling

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Terminology is confusing. Lowercase-c conservatives want to keep the status quo as it is. But fact is that e.g. in the USA, legal access to abortion has been the status quo for 50 years.

  So nobody can say that the status quo has been anything but that in the US. So uppercase-C “Conservative” just means “reactionary” now.

  Guilt means that someone did something that’s morally wrong. Everyone who isn’t a fucking Nazi would agree that punching fascists is morally laudable, yet it’s a crime you can get convicted for.

  You’d then have done it without being guilty of anything.

  Fully automated luxury queer space communism, in the sense it was conceived at (as opposed to you interpreting the words yourself), instantly, with everybody’s belief system magically adapting as if they had lived in this new society for a few decades. As a result, everyone adapts immediately, without negative result on anyone’s mental or physical health, and without anyone being brainwashed or changed in a way they wouldn’t have naturally changed if they had time to experience living in a community that they can trust and that cares about them.

  In other words: Iain M. Banks’ Culture decides to bring Earth in, but magically instantly.

  That’s awesome. Humanity will eventually figure it out, but it’ll be literally impossible to concentrate power.
