  It’s easy when you didn’t know something that is completely reasonable not to know, like in this example, but it’s always good to admit your ignorance.

  We are always headed for a crash. That’s the cycle of capitalism without strong regulatory mechanisms to mitigate it. I believe it is every 4-7 years that a crash has happened in the last 300 years.

  I thought Monkeys Paw had adverse outcomes.

  I’ll take the cloaca one every time. They got damn fine choices.

  One of the things we often forget is that a large part of our happiness is simply autonomy and self direction. I still remember working a “dreary office job” that I absolutely loved because we were given self direction and the managers were simply there to support us.

  Yes, you can use their exact build environment straight from GitHub. You can also use Molly.im which is another app that i think is a fork? Im still investigating it.

  That’s kind of a core tenet of libre/open software, innit? Independently verifiable software that you can change at your pleasure.

  I was looking at Molly.im and it has its own f-droid repo. There are two options: with and without Google servicios.
