Good point, but wrong conclusion. Yeah, me selling crack wouldn’t change anything on a world wide scale, but it would change things for the worse inside my sphere of influence. The only thing person can have a little and albeit a very limited effect on.

So person shouldn’t sell crack out of simple selfish desire to not feel bad(guilt/cleaner conscious), the crackhead will likely just go to another dealer, not in the vain hope of having any actual effect on the wider world

And i never said doing something good isn’t worth it. Even in first reply i said best one can do is to just help people close to them, inside their sphere of influence.
Just that it’s really really unlikely to have any meaningful effect on world wide scale, even after our deaths.
There’s no point to hope to change the world, not that theres no point to help others.

And how much of an effect beyond self satisfaction that has? It will more likely disproportionately effect people close to you/reliant on you than have any effect on the machine.

This is the delusion im talking about. It’s completely baffling to me how people can take something that has a 99,99% failure rate and assume they’re the 0,01% and that’s not limited to politics. People constantly do it with every single aspect of life.

You’re using a survivorship bias and seeing only the ones that succeeded and ignoring all the ones that failed or didn’t even get off the ground to be heard of.

I’m fairly sure not a single one of those were started by a single individual either. These were all started by groups of like minded individuals and I’m not even in a country where there are enough people to get started with any movement.

I’m not sticking my head in the sand. I’m just not delusional to assume there’s a realistic possibility to affdct any change even if I’d were to dedicate rest of my life to it. I don’t assume I’m special.

We’re all just cogs in the machine. Yeah sure we can somewhat change in which part of the machine we are and have a cleaner conscious, but it will not stop the machine.

Well yeah. Like what else am i supposed to do? Why people online always have this delusion of grandeur that they have any power to change world wide politics? We are all completely meaningless cogs in the machine.

I still need food, clothes, shelter, warmth. To get those i need to either do it all myself like back in mediveal times, which is rather time, energy consuming/inefficient and unstable or exchange it with universal currency.
To get universal i need to exchange my time and skills for it aka work.

I’m not someone special, i cant change the world, i cant even get the snowball effect starting. I, as a single individual am completely meaningless in world scale politics. Best i can do is just adapt to changing circumstances and surive, maybe even help a people close to me/within my sphere of influence.

So yeah, i keep working like normal.

Can’t argue against that spending. I’d do the same if i wouldn’t have gotten too comfortable with piracy back in teenage years.

It stopped being fast years ago, precovid even. Pretty much as soon as delivery services became popular as those got higher priority than people being in the restaurant, the waiting times become equal to an actual restaurant.
Last drop for in restaurant was 45 minutes of waiting.

Price rose somewhere in between there and now as well and by now even delivery isn’t fast.

Last drop with delivering was about a year ago, it was still kinda last minute quick back up option when coming from somewhere late in the evening and being rather tired to cook as i could order while I still on the road towards home.

It still took about an hour to arrive, most of the time was in cooking.
I could have reached home and still easily cooked something up at home and it would have been faster.

By now MCD is as expensive and slower than an actual restaurant with every possible way of ordering. So i don’t even consider this as an option when out with the family.

Noup, probably AI generated picture as messed up hands are a rather stereotypical for AI.

What about people who turned to w10 ltc as a compromise and to avoid w11?

Just for clarification, i don’t really care about fashion, i prefer comfort and efficiency and bulk buying oversized t-shirts and sweatpants, shorts for summer, seem to be the absolute best for that purpose.

But, we do have the entire world at our fingertips. No need to be limited to whatever your local store offers.

Completely fair, just the difference and lack of constant flow of content is going to put off many people and without a significant enough drive there’s no point to get used to the new environment.

Mind pointing me in a the right direction?

I’ve reached to similar conclusion myself after some testing and words of some moderators of subs. I was thinking about testing it out on a virtual machine, but it’s probably easier to just move over to alternatives. I’ll probably still give it a shot at some point when I’m bored.

Though thank you for elaborating more.

That’s good to know. I was wondering and testing the exact pattern to avoid shadowbans. I’m just bored after getting permabanned and got curious what methods they use to give out shadowbans.

Few specifying questions, if you don’t mind.

On the part without VPN. Wouldn’t that get a usual ban? Or it’s already beyond that scanning timeframe after 10d.

And you mentioned browser. Is it specifically browser and app usage must be avoided or was it just an irrelevant word choice and app can be used as well?

Additionally, wouldn’t just aging the account by 30d work or the no activity part still gets flagged by the system?

It still is more populated and has a lot higher activity, which suits slightly better for doomscrolling.

Lemmy needs to get slightly more popular. And maybe a centralized place to find different instances?
Like i haven’t found any active fitness related ones.

It’s like coming from a convention Hall full of people and going into a minimally occupied hotel.

Yeah they have really gone over the top with enforcing R1. Upvoting is already enough to get banned as it falls under sharing and it doesn’t have to actually mention any harm to the individual, just reference R1.

Well at least that’s an easy one to setup and later disable again.

What if I haven’t set up biometrics? Cant do it at all or forced to set up biometrics?

Well Kremlin could pull out from Ukraine and there would be no attacks on gas hubs
