For one, it’s closed source, which is a hard “no” for something that you use to access all sorts of data.
It also claims to take on corporations, while being in private hands itself.

Around Lemmy, your kind is quite rare.
This place naturally accumulates privacy advocates that are indeed bothered by this.

Does it matter that much in the context?
- Comment on Anon likes trains 6 days ago:
As someone from Russia, we have even larger territory, and going by rail is almost twice as cheap as by plane.
High speed rail from Saint Petersburg to Moscow will cost you ~$45, going by plane will set you back ~$75 on the cheapest flight with hand luggage only.
Same story with long distance trips - I plan on going for a 1000km trip in July, and train ticket costed me the same $45, while cheapest plane tickets go around $100. It’s also a night train with beds and all, so I have one night accommodation for free while on my way. Depart - have a nice sleep - be on your destination.

Yeah, it’s a FOMO.
What you want is to have fun with pizza, but the world around makes you feel it to be wrong and like if you’re missing something. You don’t.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 1 week ago:
I wonder if this could be solved on protocol level, i.e. automatically preserve objects with least redundancy, as known to the server.
Like if federated servers hold 50 copies of a file, it’s likely not worthy of saving, but if there is only 1 or 2, it must be stored.

Having Peugeot in, presumably, the UK is quite a joke
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 1 week ago:
Federation would allow you to only host mods not hosted at other servers, with some level of redundancy.
Also, it could use a modding app with BitTorrent-like functionality, so that downloaders could share their copies as well.

In the first case, you can visualize it, at least mentally, like, actually see it.
In the second, you just imagine it could be a thing.
For me, these are two wildly different concepts.

Where do you put children of parents of different races, then?
And the offspring of such children?
Many if not most people on Earth have a combined descent.
- Comment on Blurble 1 week ago:
Nah, just two different meanings of “imagine”.
One is to imagine a color
And the other to imagine there is a color.

Slavs are not a race, but ethnic group.
Two Koreans have a baby, the baby is Korean. Indian and Japanese have a baby, and you got something wildly different from either.
Sure, a Black person looks different from White, but within both there is so much variation that it doesn’t make much sense to group them so roughly.
- Comment on Blurble 1 week ago:
True, but when we say we can’t imagine something, we don’t mean a mental construct that we don’t think through, we mean something tangible. In case of color, it means actually seeing it mentally.

For this to be a color, it needs to be even at all points, so no sparkles!

Absolutely, BUT, achieving many things that bring happiness in your life does cost money anyway.
Starting a happy family? You need a place for everyone to live, a food for everyone to eat, clothes to wear, all the expenses going into creating wonderful moments for your family, be it a small homely party or an adventure.
Having friends? You need to hang out somewhere, do something together, and that would likely drain your wallet.
Opening something new, going for a trip? Tons of money again.
Like, sustaining your life to begin with? You wouldn’t believe it - a lot of money.
So, we cannot pretend that money and happy living are two completely disconnected entities. Money is essential in providing the lifestyle one wants to have. And no amount of content and gratitude will help you if you’re broke as hell and doing slave job to survive.
So, the coffee example is not about buying a dopamine hit. It’s about sustaining the kind of life one wants to see. A cup of coffee, in this case, is not an embodiment of consumerism, but a personal ritual.

Blame can be channeled - for better or worse.
It makes sense to blame the powerful for deteriorating quality of life. The question is what to do with it.
- Comment on Anon has a dream 2 weeks ago:
As long as they want sexual connection as well, they technically are (Incel = involuntarily celibate)
But the way incel culture manifested itself, incels began being associated with angry envious misogynistic young men, which is not great and certainly not a good mental framework for someone who just wants intimacy
There are many ways people can start thinking of themselves as undesirable, unwanted, perpetually lonely, and we need to provide some social example for them to begin realizing flaws in their mentality, not reinforcing them.

In my area there is an actual law regulating this. You can leave earlier, but you won’t get payment for the last period if you do so, unless your employer agrees to pay it out anyway.

Yeah, I would love to know how many people genuinely want to ride a Ferrari in this case, and how many are willing to live a life from the magazine cover, only to be disappointed if they ever get there.

Are they all inhumane, or are the commanders and some of the most brutal soldiers?
A lot of people got into the battlefield against their will, and among those who signed the contract, most did it for the money and not out of bloodlust.
Dehumanizing the enemy is leaving them little room to defect or change their views.

It kinda exists, but I feel it is drowned in the era of outrage-based media.
And yes, it is often appropriated by various actors, even though the premise couldn’t be clearer.
