That's a fair point to be honest but it would mean more job openings for me, so... /j

bruh

extremely insightful. will share with everyone i can

there's this bread company i love that's really loud about actively seeking out ex-convicts for employees and it makes me so happy to see, genuinely

fair enough! if it works, it works, i guess. the proxy disable doesn't seem to work for me either, by the way, i just checked! i guess it's probably a known issue.

i was offered one but im not really interested in making an account unless i can do it on a different instance. i do not trust the official one a single bit, lol

Philosophically, obviously I'm against DRM blah blah and no matter how easy it is to crack I just don't really like the idea of spending money on a license to play something instead of the something itself. I also don't really like contributing to the online services monopoly steam seems to be maintaining. There's a myriad smaller stuff that drives me away from steam that I don't really feel like explaining, but those two are the main philosophical reasons.

Practically, for reasons I obviously won't disclose, my account is at risk of spontaneous termination if they wanted to, so its not really worth investing more money into my walking time bomb of an account.

I get why steam makes sense for most people and I don't have any intention to shame people for... well, being normal where I'm not. I just like having friends who share my personal preferences!

SWAG! (dope ass suit)

ahh, yeah swipe typing is really tough to inplement well without data collection. i used to use it a lot back before i completely degoogled and id be lying if i said i didnt miss it. i honestly just couldn't find any foss keyboards at all that had swipe typing!

This isn't even to mention the other many ways we're constantly actively contributing to the deaths of birds through suburbia, even indirectly. Aside from the obvious stuff like getting rid of the trees they inhabit in the rare urban areas, we even kill them in the places they can live, by having "outdoor cats" as if they arent an invasive species. Letting them predate on the local bird population can be hugely detrimental!
