Hobby groups. Be it hiking, book clubs, dog activities, wood carving, painting, electronics, photography, amateur radio, stargazing, coffee tasting... Anything really. As long as it gets you out of the house regularly.

Have a look around meetup.com and see what your city has to offer. Join a few different ones, don't just give up because you didn't like the first one.

And also don't be the one who introduces themselves as someone who came because you're lonely. That gives of a desperate vibe that can set people on edge.

Georgia = US State, not the country.

Maybe I saved some people a click.

I can't wait to see the site formerly known as Twitter to go out of business.

It says not to leave "subjective bad reviews". As in, objectively bad is fine.

So what? R&D expenses aren't supposed to turn an immediate profit. Developing a new technology can take years before it's earning money, and some never do. I'm all aboard the "hate meta" train, but that's nothing.

Empathieloses Arschloch, volle Zustimmung. Allerdings kalkuliert und damit alles andere als dumm.

Der Bürger sollte eine Richtigstellung vornehmen, denn für eine Tatsache kann man nicht verknackt werden :-)

I've subscribed to patreon in the beginning, and one of the perks was supposedly access to a private group with the devs on discord or matrix, forgot which one. After 3 months and a few questions on how and where to gain access that went completely ignored, I stopped. Not because of the money; but because empty promises don't sit well with me.

Edit: They still list "access to the development chatroom" as a perk, now even in the $1 tier. Used to be only from $5.

AirVPN is an Italian company incorporated in Rome.

Of course they comply. 99.9% of VPN providers are however not domiciled in Italy or elsewhere in the EU, and don't give a flying fuck about Italian demands and jurisdiction.

This is a total non-issue.

I can't deal with more than one.

Weg damit. Wer offen gegen die Werte einer Demokratie einsteht, hat nichts in einer solchen verloren.

Das einzige Argument, dass ich gelten lasse, ist die zunehmende Radikalisierung nach einem Verbot; aber dann lassen sich Mitglieder eben auch einfacher als Anhänger einer verbotenen Organisation wegsperren.

Not the OP, but I'm buying DRM free ebooks and software only, and for every album, movie or series I purchase, I'll download a pirated copy that I add to my offline storage + backup.

If a book I want is not available without DRM, I'll buy a hardcover and a pirated copy.

No they don't. They detect if an extension is installed in Chrome, and if so, automatically install the Firefox equivalent - if it exists - and migrate the data. An extension that's chrome exclusive can't be ported over. I just tested and confirmed this as well, instead I was the one misunderstanding the feature, but no. Can't import any extensions not already natively existing in Firefox.
