I stream from self hosted sources, best of all worlds. No enshitification.
New media is acquired for free from the public libraries and then ripped, which under my local laws is perfectly legal.

Its another thing to literally be so autistic that the extremely bad repercussions simply don’t matter.
It wouldn’t really be a choice on my part.

- Comment on 18-26 year olds, How do you plan to dodge the draft? 4 days ago:
Autist here, i refuse orders on principle, the only way people can get me to do anything is to have me decide that i agree on doing so.
My expectations if i was ever forced in a military setting would be to get punished for Insubordination at a constant rate, i assume to get beaten, locked up, be given the extra shitty food (which i just wouldn’t eat).
When it comes to being put under pressure i have a lifetime of experience. They can hurt, torture me all they want but will never rule over my independent thoughts.
I am no hero, nor a vigilante but simply holding on to what i know is right is what gives me strengt. And while i expect coming out bruised, broken and traumatised it will stil not be close to the horrors my own mind will inflict on me for going against my nature.

Companies suing the government for taxes that they just pass on to consumers is both the bread and the circuses of the modern age.
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms 'Project Helix,' a Next-Gen Xbox That Can Run PC Games 1 week ago:
When i think of the experience i think of a type of software that can be run on almost any hardware to fit whatever purpose that hardware needs.
Personal computers are a big part of modern life yes but statistically they are a very small portion of what is out there.
The context of my comment is about “how the future may look like from the personal of the person you replied to when they worked at Microsoft 25y ago. You decided to make this about desktop marketshare. That is the strawmen.
And to answer your latest strawmen. A dehumidifier is built to dehumidify, not to edit photo’s, just like your modem is built to arrange your acces to the internet and download gimp, not to edit photo’s. That modem is also running the linux kernel btw.
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms 'Project Helix,' a Next-Gen Xbox That Can Run PC Games 1 week ago:
So to summarize,
When you look at this tiny specific section of all computer hardware, then windows is still on top.
Okey.
Android, Robot vacuums, smart tvs, some airconditioning and air fryers, smartfridges, doorbell cameras… they most likely all run a version of the linux kernel. Consumers own more Linux than windows devices and don’t even know it.
And this was already true before valve quite literally started creating consumer gaming hardware with a full linux desktop experience, of which again some people have these and don’t even realise it is.

There isn’t. The sides are 4.675 long (as far as i understand)
To fit more squares, youd need to use smaller squares but by that logic you could fit any number of squares.

- Comment on Not that limit 5 weeks ago:
Story time, third grader me would have done this no questions about it.
Having to solve multiplication and recently had learned the table of 9 trick i was looking if there where other tricks I could find.
The first one was number x10 and what i observed is that if you do times ten. You take the number. And you put 1 “0” behind it.
Interesting…. I thought
But the next one multiplied with a single digit so how could i apply that theory.
Simple. 1+0 is 1, which is a single digit so if you multiply by 10, you actually multiply by 1+0 which means you put 1 zeros behind it
Multiple by 2 is short for multiply By 2+0, put 2 zeros behind it
Multiply by 9, put 9 zeros behind it.
I definitely knew this is not what we had learned, and knew there was a “chance” i was going to fail all of these, i also even knew some of the actual answers however i also believed there was a chance that i found an alternative equally good solution, and I consciously decided to take that risk because I wanted to know if i was right. Maybe I discovered something new
My teacher was not happy to say the least, and in that (actual) furry did treat me unfair and it still bothers me. Because i got a zero for the assignment… while i was very certain that the 2 occurrences of x10 did have the appropriate solution.

- Comment on Volvo invented the three-point seat belt 67 years ago; now it has improved it 1 month ago:
“Volvo has a history with the modern three-point safety belt, which was perfected by in-house engineer Nils Bohlin in 1959 before the patent was shared with the world.”
This story is a famous example of seemingly putting human safety before personal profit.
In a direct comparison this innovation on it is worse because it lacks the defining feature that makes it truly applaudable.
The original 3 point seatbelt patent would also expire after 20 years but they (presumably) saw the amount of people they could save and chose not to wait.
Though you might have reasonable argument on corporate motivation that is commonly accepted i personally am in very strong disagreement with the notion that profit incentives are anything but harmful.
In my own reasoning and experience i found that a desire for profit or personal success sabotage the effective value of any potential invention.
The objective value of a product that i attempt to perceive is directly correlated to how many living beings can successfully use it without losing value in return.
For example the most advanced designer cars that exist that can only the super rich can buy… those are complete worthless junk and leaching valuable assets and energy from our planet trown in the proverbial bin.
A text file that explains in detail how to fix and maintain a generic bike written by some passionate nerd and freely available online has in comparison uncountable value.
I see the same trends in digital development. Closed source only exist to exploit people who have not learned how to property own and maintain a computer and to block off ways open source devs could use to innovate for the benefit of everyone.
If you ask me, if the benefit of everyone including yourself is not enough motivation to build something better then what already is. I don’t want you on my team.
If your motivation requires a self serving result, i would prefer if society paid you to STAY AWAY from any important work decisions because the losses are too great to give that power to what subjectivity understand as a mental illness.
If everyone benefits, i benefit. If no one suffers, i don’t suffer. You can keep the ego happy and still arrive to the same conclusion, i am award this is considered an extreme stance but i will die on this hill unless someone can point me to a higher one,

Someone remind me to adjust my opinion of volvo when they also release this tech pattern to the world for free.
I do not care how safe your system is in theory, if you are gatekeeping it so others can’t replicate it its more dangerous to the world then if it didn’t exist at all, which at least allows the chance of someone with ethics to still invent and share it.

- Comment on I am a modest person. But I have to agree with her 1 month ago:
In this work the artist portrays the feeling of disillusionment of modern life.
The subject is in a fastfood restaurant, presumably eating out by choice, they are clearly no longer waiting in line as demonstrated by the already obtained drink, but yet they do not look happy.
The style of intens lines put emphasis on this surreal feeling. Are they really hungry, do they want to be here? Or are they just going trough the motions of their life.
But thats not all because the once the art observer realizes this depth they may even understand beyond it and in effect watch themselves in the mirror. Looking at this art, seemingly by choice. But do they want or need art or are they also just going trough the motions.
Finally hitting the true intention of this art, reflection on the ego that so perversely sees art and then makes it about themselves. Illustrates by the sexual desire clearly expressed by this sad entity.
Truly a masterpiece of its kind. Bidding will start at 4 whole hands of seashells.
- Comment on Scientists reveal what drives homosexual behavior in primates 1 month ago:
I get what you’re saying, i had not considered it could be interpreted like this.
For the record i do think you exist and are valid.
Just because our brains are flexible enough to adjust for otherwise unmet needs does not mean thats it’s a satisfying happy life, que the history of desperate repressed hetero men sharing a room. But any emotional closeness even to a human is better than depressed isolation.
I also consider non sexual relationships like “bromance” to be part of this trend. Showing emotional affection between non lover friends, especially those not in a relationship should be more normalised.
- Comment on Scientists reveal what drives homosexual behavior in primates 1 month ago:
Technically its human and sheep.
But the reason is that for all cases of homosexuality in animals they are always actually bisexual.
With the exception of homosexuals sheep who will refuse to mate with the other gender. They are homo exclusive for life and you cannot find an exception (as far as i know)
For humans this can be anecdotally the same but because bisexuality does exist in humans and even supposedly homoexclusive people can have heterosexual experience from before they come out the closest that i think there not comparable.
Just like hetero army guys who may pretend one of them is a women for a night, gay people can exist in loving functional hetero relationships. So even for homosexual people i would say its their main preference on top of bisexual baseline.
- Comment on Scientists reveal what drives homosexual behavior in primates 1 month ago:
My theory for a while now that all mammals (except sheep) have a bisexual baseline with a common neurotypical heterosexual bias.
The heterosexual bias makes evolutionary sense because offspring.
The bisexual base line makes evolutionary sense because some gay people taking care of eachothers emotional-social needs is more sustainable then having sexually frustrated subgroup members.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Not to disagree on the topic but “if you can’t Finnish it, don’t start it” is absolutely horrible advice when its about a creative art like writing.
If i am not wrong there is a whole writing style about just starting without knowing yourself where its going to end.
I highly dislike capitalism but i can see that once you have enough material to sell some of it, even if incomplete as a series. Many people would take the opportunity. I don’t know the authors economic background but for a starving artist with high potential that first book sales could be the push required to finish a series.
- Comment on Anon remembers 2 months ago:
Its not about the planet.
It’s about the society we live in.
Nothing we do is normal, every step of our lives is shaped by human made culture living in human made houses, working for a human made economy.
It is a “world” shaped by and for the majority norm, which by evolutionary dice is “neurotypical”
The example of an autistic world would be the same society but if the majority norm was autistic. Wed have building build by autistic humans for autistic humans. Wed design stores and public places to fit our needs.
Things would be catered to our needs instead of ignored.
Imagine if some human group survived evolution with still having a tail and has lived separate from us. Their culture might involve their tail. Some of their tools might be tail operated. If all humans had a tail except a few then this few would be disabled, but there not because the majority does not.
My point is, disabilities are very real. But their experience is not caused by the individual itself being broken/sick but by “how different” they are compared to the people around them.
- Comment on Anon remembers 2 months ago:
Disabilities being contextual does not invalidate their existence.
We do not live in an autistic world, hence we face daily challenges of all sizes. Your benefits are a compensation for these challenges.
