So do you have to have an account on a specific server and then get the client or get the client first? I can’t recall how to do it any longer.

- Comment on DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE 4 days ago:
I have not been to Target or shopped at Amazon since end of 2024. It was surprising that those 2 habits were the two easiest to correct. If people only knew how easy it is… Deleting Facebook was easy too.
DeGoogling is very hard. I’m still working on it but the progress has made a huge dent in the amount of new personal info available for them to sell, or so I hope. It’s useful to start a list of accounts with emails you need to change and just block YouTube from phone.

You could play Belatro and set CRT settings on the graphics. That at least one option somewhere in the void.

Non a problem for me. How about an article in how devs release shittier, messier, harder to use, GUIs every goddamn release. I swear its like four buttons to power it off.
- Comment on DI.DAY is a Movement to Encourage People to Ditch Big Tech 6 days ago:
Americans need awareness more than anyone. I’ve tried to get them on board with digital alternatives and privacy discussions. It’s futile and exhausting. I think people like me will need to organize and build awareness campaigns to make a difference.

We can’t do that because it takes rebellion, but we can’t have that because nine of this is Tue billionaires fault. Its poor people and minorities who are to blame for everything. We can’t rebel while every toothless illiterate hillbilly from Alabama has put on a Halloween costume and is going to other states and kicking everyone’s door in.

Linux has been the best option for 20 years. At least 10 years even for grandmas.

It would only help us here. Everyone buying it or allowing their data to be traced is basically funding pedos and murderers.
- Comment on YSK that everything the New York Times about Donald Trump actually happened 1 week ago:
People who are “in the Epstein files” probably just pissed off the Moussad. Otherwise, where the fuck are the other names? Sounds like a bunch if bullshit to me. Documents can be falsified.

It would be more useful to replace CEOs with AI. Or maybe even my dog.

- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 3 weeks ago:
Agreed. Not sure what those downvotes are for. I saw this coming 20 years ago. Especially with lobbying as out of control as it has been. If Trump dropped dead now, we’d still have a catastrophe.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 3 weeks ago:
Bastards. I’m just want the infrastructure first. From what I understand our sewer has hit some kind of capacity too. People just can’t pay more and more and more so some duck can have a yacht. Honestly, I wish this place was a bigger city, but just give us the infrastructure and I’m good.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 3 weeks ago:
We made a shit tin of those. Many are empty to drive prices up.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 3 weeks ago:
I was recently a NIMBY. Let me explain. People from California sell their homes for millions and come here and offer way over asking price so we are priced out. Natives cannot afford to live here now. In 2020 they fucked me out of a house I wanted, even after I offered well over asking. Now they want to put 450 homes behind the neighborhood where I finally got a house. The roads are already damn near impassible. The state refuses to allow us to charge the developer an impact fee. We’re running out of water. Our water bills just went up 149%. Real estate has flown through the roof. We do not have enough infrastructure, enough schools, and an ambulance might take 45 min. Traffic is ridiculous. Some person from Cali was in Reddit asking locals for advice, and they attacked her so bad she said never mind, I’m absolutely not moving there.
Honestly, we’re not bad people. We’re just sick if it. For some reason people in high COL places romanticize this area and it’s ruining everything. Like damn, how much more do things have to be to accommodate all these people?
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 3 weeks ago:
That is not the consequence of enough housing. It’s from wealth hoarding.

I have this issue. I have also explained that everyone she communicates with didn’t consent to having their communications intercepted by other parties.

We should emphasize the John Deere tractor thing to reach a broader audience.
- Comment on Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud — hopes that you'll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud 4 weeks ago:
Go yo the town nearest the data center, and tell everyone to use up as much power as possible. Than have a bot farm maximize the power draw of the servers by doing an almost DDoS attack. Keep the grid constantly under pressure so the UPSs in the data center can’t compensate when the power goes out. Constant surges will destroy their equipment eventually, or just cause so many outages that people stop using the services.
This would cause people’s appliances to shut down too, but if everyone turned off fridges and HVACs or whatever, and then just have heaters blow air outside constantly in high as much as possible, and maybe use ovens on broil at the same time, that might work.

That’s obvious. That’s exactly what they are doing.
