They remind me of a coffee machine

But only if you use those bain interface devices. Just don’t use any of that shit and be happy

There are problems with that metric. One of them is that a lot of really rich people that hold local power just excuse themselves by claiming that they’re not billionaires. Estate owners are a good example. Many hold ownership over vast lands and contribute to people not having access to agricultural land, housing, etc. They’re mostly not billionaires, but are a key part in our oppressive system. Yet, the metric put them in the ok group

Focusing on such metric can give room for wrong solutions, like reducing globalization, which would limit how much money a corporation can amass. It would mathematically reduce inequality, but wouldn’t change our living standards, and wouldn’t give us access to better things, like housing, healthcare, etc. Yet, in terms of metrics, we would have achieved our objective

They would form almost-billionaires consortia and spread the money to not cross the threshold. People just created a metric to blame, because it’s easy, but the actual problems are our societal structures and our culture. If we don’t change that, nothing will really change. I’m from a country where there are very few billionaires. If they all popped, nothing would change, because our oppressors aren’t billionaires, but the oppressing structures around here are pretty much the same as in the usa

That’s exactly what I’d love to be able to do. Just imagine, a “mere” 10% of routers affected would be enough to give a significant reduction in ad revenue to some big corps

I use them myself, and i guarantee that they’re not a viable alternative, because the average person finds them very hard to use

When I mention this, people around foss communities often say “oh, but it’s like email”

Exactly! People don’t know how to use email!

For some chat app to be a viable replacement, it needs to register by phone number, without passwords, and find all your contacts automatically. The closest we have is signal, but the server isn’t open source, and its nonprofit group is tied to the usa

Is there some way for us to block ads at network-level on networks we don’t control? Something that allowed us to connect to public wifis or work networks and prevent ads from loading, therefore messing with the digital economy if we did this on a large scale?

Edit: I didn’t explain my thoughts very well. I mean blocking ads for other people around me. I know that’s probably not even legal, but would be awesome, if possible

Where do I find a bread eater woman who wants to eat my buns? :3

That one is creepy!

That’s more related to the culture around big places like the bolshoi ballet than professionalism itself. Picturing ballet like that is like picturing any sport for what olympic athletes do to themselves. It’s all hardcore and damaging

I’m not sure. The Confederacy of Independent Systems is building a lot of droids recently

Is that the view people have on ballet? My sister was even prescribed it to correct her knee issues she had as a child, and it worked wonders

I know it’s the tutorial mission, but make sure to quicksave before just to be safe

Come on, look at our recent history. Look at what happened to Dilma. Look at our congress and senate composition. There’s not much room to make many improvements. We’re stuck fighting against right-wing domination and total control by the US, like in Argentina. The far right has already won this election. They have the majority in our government. We are just trying to elect Lula to limit their power. this also happened in the past elections. No one recognizes the work from the ones who avoid bad things from happening, and people are being very unfair to lula. take for example the recent policy of using petrobras to hold the fuel prices internally. Many places around us are facing crisis and prices are skyrocketing due to the war, but brazil is almost untouched. And even though the congress is against him, he pushed laws to reduce work hours, prohibit online gambling, reduce taxes on the poorer, remove taxes from medications, and others. Many people who are bashing him today only had access to education through his politics of expanding federal institutes, many people have access to healthcare through the expansion of “UPAs”, many people don’t have to pay rent because they had access to “minha casa, minha vida”, etc and lots of etc. People take full advangate of his policies, but will bash him nonetheless.

Lula is no Biden, and this comparison is really unfair, if not uninformed

Enlighten me

That’s the 80s version of watching hentai for the plot lol

It’s the question. The answer is no

people flaming others in the comments, which don’t get me wrong, Reddit always had, but to me it seems like it’s worse

I believe a lot of people who left x ended up on reddit

Very few people realize how much we can impact the system if we all just rejected most things it offers us and lived the simplest life we could
