  • When I bought a new phone for GrapheneOS, I wanted to see if the new Pixel model was worth it, as mine was EOL. Many reviewers made comments about it being weird not buying a new 600 € phone every single year.

    Then I checked some statistics from my local national bank. I calculated that the average resident in my country was in debt with 24,000 € and had about 3,000€ on hand.

    Genuine question: how is capitalism supposed to continue?

    I’m not pretending that the epic cunt store from Tim Sweeney is better by any metric, but let’s remember there are problems with Steam, it playing a role in the introduction of gambling into videogames. CSGO, TF2, without the steam integration, it would not have worked. And furthermore, Steam is proprietary and works as digital restrictions management. Without Steam running in the background, your game won’t start. Yes, there’s offline mode, but one day it could be taken away from you and there’s nothing you could do against that. I say this with my large steam library and it worries me.






  • I only use one subscription service in my life and it’s email from proton. I once knew a sysadmin who said that self-hosting email is a full-time job. So I just pay for my email with a reputable company and have my own domain name attached. His comment scared me off for good. But other people have said it’s not that hard. Please write me your experience , ok?

    Tinfoil hat conjecture here, but I think that they had some large language model previously for all of their movies. Because to believe that people are incapable of making scripts which are this formulaic, generic and meaningless this consistently.
