You say that, but I am learning first hand that I have a finite capacity for injustice and misery.

that’s why I said “if you want to”. if your bucket is full, then care about what you can. if you have more room in your bucket, then why not use that room for something else?

that’s not stealing, that’s copying. you’re in the wrong comm to be calling piracy stealing.

I mean, I guess it matters to the person the land belongs to. they said in the article that they left tire marks and the exhaust also damaged the site. so there’s the environmental concern.

but more importantly, just because there are more important things to worry about, doesn’t mean you can’t also worry about this. it’s not a mutually exclusive sort of thing, you can care about more than one problem at a time if you want to.

is it OK to let little kids starve when you can feed them and clean up the environment at the same time? and what’s with this quotation marks around the word earn? that’s some privileged bullshit from somebody who has clearly never been hungry or homeless.

the guides who make their living taking people up the mountain would be out of a job. the industry supports thousands of people, shutting it down would mean those families and their children would starve.

creators get paid for views.

that’s not exactly true. creators get paid for ad impressions, not for views. a client like Freetube or Libretube does not view any ads, so the creators do not get paid.

this is why some frontends and browser extensions allow you to allowlist certain channels, so that they get paid for your watching their content.

the best kind of racist.

these are people running from the war? if so, why not give them actual citizenship? they clearly do not want to live in Russia anymore, and I can’t blame them.

wild that the only reason he knows or cares about the violence in Nigeria is because he saw something about it on Fox News.

Yes, pretty much any Linux distro can be configured to encrypt just the home directory. Whole drive encryption is more common because it’s more secure, obviously.

That would be the easiest solution, since it’s offered during install with many distros.

Encrypt whole hard drive?
Yes.

Log in automatically?
Yes.

well at least nobody can say you left Nothing in return.

It’s really fun. I grew up playing games like Arkanoid on the Apple IIGS, so I’ve always had a love of the genre. And Ball X Pit reinvents it with another genre I like, rogue-lites.

Well, there’s a couple I’ve only ever played on the Deck. Dave the Diver, and Ball X Pit are two I would recommend.
