Did you ask this just to setup your reply??

Either way, brilliant.

I doubt it. I find it far more likely that the merchant is arbitrarily declining if they can’t scrape enough of your data to sell later…

Fair. I didn’t realize how embedded into my life I’ve let those fuckers get until I started looking into de-Googling. So for me it’s gonna be a slow process, but I’ll get there! Recently repurposed an OpenWRT One (a banana pi in a branded case, basically, for those who don’t know) into a home server to start learning about self hosting, which I expect will help immensely on my quest.

Firefox with the UDM14 plugin, and Google doesn’t give me that ai crap anymore.

Wow. Gatekeeping art? Go fuck yourself

Well, they literally tried to (partially) deregulate asbestos, as fucking obviously asinine and corrupt of a move as that would be, so…asbestos might end up being your answer. How fucked is that?

Oh they allow alternative stores now, too; you can install Epic for example. I wonder if that’ll be subject to these new rules as well?

I’m more curious about Starbucks Exotic Coffee for Men

Regarding that particular rainbow road: I always found it funny that you can jump off the track at the start, just because it angles down so sharply.

Fuck off with that judgmenal bullshit

Back to the Future on Atari

I’m not sure that would be necessary, actually. Android is derived from Linux, surely they can do a translation layer for the majority of API calls? I mean there’s no need for emulating anything, nor would it necessarily require layering an entire android install on top of Linux…? But my programming knowledge is limited, and somewhat rusty, so I’m not really sure.

Eh, if the constitution was half as great as people think, we wouldn’t have the problems we do now.

And don’t forget, without the flaws of the constitution, us couldn’t have give full fascist so early and quickly.

Fuck the constitution, we need something better.

I know. And it blows

Here’s one to ponder: we assume the data related to our brain from our sense gives us an accurate idea of what’s around us. But from an evolutionary standpoint, that is irrelevant - our senses keep us alive, that’s all.

If the “melting pot” actually does it’s thing and reduces how many differences we see between ourselves and others, then… maybe kinda good?

Somebody, or more likely more than one, suffered in a way like Luigi did, not because of any targeted malice, but a lack of compassion. So his karma is fucked…

Eh, no two ways about it. Wealth hoarding is exactly the same choice as “push the button, get a million, but someone dies”. Same fucking thing. Literally

I feel it’s reasonable to recognize the wealth he has collected, and to conclude he is not my ally.

I don’t fucking care who it is, wealth hoarding causes immeasurable harm, not to mention requires a sociopathic mindset. So…yeah, I’m not even giving him a chance. I got better shit to waste my time on…

Oh, I assume a solution like Sunshine/Moonlight on Linux don’t provide what you need?
