Oof. This liberal individualist thinking is fairly ineffective.

Organize your workplace, raise class consciousness, support your community, and educate everyone.

I love this quote

I’m desperately hoping that conversations or conversion kits become more of a thing so I can keep my dumb car, but electrify it.

Cuz it’s either that or maybe wait till cars start getting jailbroken and open source operating systems (ugh) like phones and computers… Which absolutely shouldn’t have to be a thing. But here we are.

I mean … Of your mom’s still around… Maybe buy fish and like, ask to learn the recipe and cook it yourself? I’m not a mom, I’m a dad, but I cook a lot and if my kid wanted to learn what I do when cooking, that’d be cool.

I emailed my “care team” asking if they could help me figure out if I have been dealing with undiagnosed adult ADHD and they wrote back with a phone number to call.

I haven’t called them.

It’s been 3? 4? Days.

Hell yeah. Also, support your local library! I know your local library doesn’t have a free for all streaming service, but they lend books and all kinds of media… Just imagine if we could push it to where your local library DID have a Plex/Jellyfin/Netflix-esque service? Just log in with your library card! That’s the dream…

They did, and we’re really up front about it being an opt-in thing, if I remember correctly. Might have started that easy with Microsoft, too. But they can’t resist enshitifying.

Well, shit.

Health!

Nah, you burned that bridge, Sony. I’m not coming back.

Ah man, same. Thought I’d give it a go after reading about if from Cory…

Honestly, for what I search for, DDG is sufficient, and it’s not gonna hassle me about subscriptions.

What I’d really like to find is something like a pihole for search, where you have your blocklist, cache of things you’ve searched already (your own mini search engine?), and then a fallback engine (DDG, bing, Google, whatever) for things it doesn’t already know.

I dunno. Search and AI botshit is everywhere, and it’s gonna keep getting worse. Self-hosting tools seems to be the only way to take control back.

I wish android natively has a roll back option to un-update apps… But that would be too user-friendly, I suppose.
