- Comment on How I Broke up with Adobe 2 days ago:
You can get GIMP surprisingly far with addons such as PhotoGIMP (adds Photoshop shortcuts and improveS GUI), Resynthesizer (Adds content aware fill), and G’mic (adds hundreds of powerful filters and tools, such as an assisted cropping tool. Also works with Krita).

Adding onto his recommendation to unions:
Unionizing your workplace brings almost immediate benefits to you and your co-workers (a living wage, benefits, more time off), it also lets us fight back against the regime with an effective general strike, just as it worked in 1886 (they wouldn’t have fought us so hard back then if it didn’t).
Below are some resources to Unions from around the world who can help train you to become an organizer and form a grassroots union with your co-workers:

You can play the game here on Archive.org, or you can download a copy from an abandonware site and play it in DOSBox Staging.
Here’s all the physical documentation you’ll need, such as the short story, how to play manual, and an in-world map (you’ll have to draw your own, but it’ll give you a rough idea of the land. If you find map making tedious, you could use a map someone else made).
Lastly, you’ll need this interactive copy protection wheel when it prompts you for a combination in game.
Good luck! :D

A Mind Forever Voyaging, by Infocom.
It’s an old text adventure from the 80’s with a particularly cool and oddly relevant concept: You take the role of an AI that’s been meticulously raised in a simulation to truly become a general intelligence. The reason this project was undertaken was to eventually send you, the AI, into other simulations based in the near future to test the outcomes of various political policies of the new republican government, record your interactions, and report back to the engineers who created you.
The game’s designer said that he created the game in response to the despair he felt from Ronald Regean being elected.
I haven’t gotten super far in it, but it has an incredibly well written short story in the manual that details all the events leading up to the start of the game, and so far the game itself is unlike anything else I’ve ever played.

This doesn’t help with avoiding new purchases, but perhaps getting involved in Meshtastic might interest you? As a side effect, putting up your own meshtastic node would help bolster your communities decentralized communication ability for natural disasters or political unrest.

- Comment on What is the best political movie? And what is the best apolitical movie? 4 weeks ago:
3 Days of The Condor is the best political movie, IMHO.
Best Apolitical? Picking one of my favorites, Where Eagles Dare.
Both are watchable for free on Archive.org :D

- Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
- We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This can massively impact their income streams, and can bring a government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
- Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.
If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

Giving us eggs would just be used to make the current administration look better.
“See? We brought egg prices down just like we promised! Take that, biden!”
In the meantime, try alternative plant based eggs, like Just Egg.

She also made a video extolling the virtues of capitalism and how science wouldn’t have progressed without it, but then oddly went on to make videos about why she had to leave academia because of profit motive forcing her to research things that didn’t matter but got grant funding to keep her alive, without making the connection that the profit motive that destroyed her dream is due to capitalism, and then removed comments from her videos that point this out.

- Comment on We Need To Talk About "Authoritarianism" 1 month ago:
This video makes the case that authoritarianism is good, based on Engel’s paper ‘On Authority’ and is made from a distinctly Marxist-Leninist perspective.
For a well articulated Anarchist rebuttal to this very video, check out Anark’s ‘Authoritarianism is bad actually: a response to Second Thought’

- Comment on From the trailer of Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014) 1 month ago:
That’s already hours in, and it was only getting more ridiculous. I had a looksee at Yatzhee’s old review of it, and he confirmed my feelings on it, and said it got even worse later. I may watch a let’s play of it at some point, but I just wasn’t having fun, so I’m unlikely to pick it up again, honestly.

I just tried new colossus yesterday, actually, and I was surprised how big of a dive the writing took compared to the first game, I had to stop when the resistance guy bursts out of bathroom during that really forced emotional scene in the sub.
I loved the first game and the old blood dlc, so was a bit of a bummer :(

Bananas Screen Sharing may one day be able to replicate that functionality, though at the moment it does not pass-through audio (The dev mentioned they hadn’t implemented that because it’s difficult to implement on Mac OS, but seems to be viable for Windows/Linux).

- Comment on Oiligarchy: Play as an Oil Oligarch that puts profit above all else, fund coups in other countries, assassinate protestors, and fund political parties to ensure they remain under your boot 2 months ago:
In case it’s not obvious, this is an educational game to teach how the oil industry is able to control our governments and destroy the planet.
