That’s not living comfortably, that’s the bare minimum everybody should have

overwork yourself
comfortable life
Make it make sense

The majority of people
would likely beare feudal peasants, working under a warmonger family that owns the sustaining land by force. No upward mobility except through bloodshed.FTFY
- Comment on Setting Up a Secure Tunnel Between Two Machines 3 months ago:
Awesome! I’m glad I could help. Good luck! I’ve been spending quite a bit of time figuring out how to get this to run alongside other services. I think I just need to add an extra iptables rule to ignore port 443 so https requests will go through traefik first.
- Comment on Setting Up a Secure Tunnel Between Two Machines 3 months ago:
I’ve been looking at setting up something similar and plan on following this guide, and putting Traefik in front of it as a tcp reverse proxy .
- Comment on TikTok sounds go silent as songs disappear from app 3 months ago:
It’s literally just racism. People act like other social media platforms aren’t just as bad about privacy because they sell your information instead of giving it directly to the government.
- Comment on TikTok sounds go silent as songs disappear from app 3 months ago:
There was literally a Senate hearing today about KOSA, the bill allowing the US government the legal grounds to control sources of information on the internet. So no, they aren’t totally different things.
And I was specifically referring to this part that OP said:
I heard that the Chinese Communist Party was collecting some worrying amount of information on their user base
The only difference between the Chinese government and the US government collecting information is that the US goes through a middleman who aggregates it from multiple sources.
Meta/Twitter/YouTube have everything to do with this because they’re doing the exact same thing. Do I need to mention the numerous times Facebook has been sued for illegal data collection? Cambridge Analytica ring a bell?
- Comment on TikTok sounds go silent as songs disappear from app 3 months ago:
Every social media site does the exact same thing. There was just an article on here the other day about the US government buying people’s information from data brokers. How is that any different? Meta has been censoring anything pro-Palestine, Twitter is a breeding ground for Nazis, YouTube picks and chooses what counts as “mature content” aka what gets monetized. The way TikTok treats privacy is how every social media platform treats it, it has nothing to do with them being Chinese.
- Comment on X appears to be juicing MrBeast’s views to woo the YouTuber to the platform, pushing video upload into users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad 3 months ago:
He does though. You can’t build fancy sets and put on huge productions without having money. Like yeah, Jimmy might not have millions of dollars in his personal bank account, but his business sure does.

I’m running mine off an SSD using an M.2 to USB adapter
- Comment on How a 27-Year-Old Codebreaker Busted the Myth of Bitcoin’s Anonymity 3 months ago:
It’s so braindead. The entire point of Bitcoin is that it’s 100% traceable
- Comment on no monetization, you said a bad word 3 months ago:
Except when they deem it unsuitable for advertisers, they still run ads on the video, they just don’t pay the creator so Google gets 100% of the ad money
- Comment on DO NOT MERGE 3 months ago:
It’s when you have more than 99 tabs open
- Comment on Apple is now banned from selling its latest Apple Watches in the US 4 months ago:
They also have more than enough money to drain Masimo by dragging them through legal proceedings, so Apple can just swoop in and buy them out.
- Comment on YouTube can't stop showing me AI deepfake ads 4 months ago:
They’re able to do that on all the videos everyone else uploads. They turn a blind eye to ads because all they care about is the money.
- Comment on Firefox for Android now supports over 450 add-ons 4 months ago:
A bit niche, but I love Shinigami Eye. It highlights trans-friendly sites and profiles in green and transphobic ones in red.
- Comment on My whole night is booked now 5 months ago:
Video essays are like the perfect cross between a podcast and an audiobook. They’re long enough to put on while I’m doing something else, like cleaning or studying, but short enough to get through in one sitting. And then if I need a break from what I’m doing, I can focus on the video for a little.
- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 6 months ago:
That’s completely true for smaller creators, but YouTube is more than just people who rely on adsense for the livelihood. I don’t think Jimmy Kimmel or Taylor Swift would miss a few dollars, even a few hundred, a month to be on the platform.
