Starting with someone’s dotfiles is a much better way to start with these minimalist window managers. You can see what they did and only tweak the the things you want to work different. Still not as easy as a DE’s unified settings, but if you like that fine grained control it can be worthwhile. My setup is quite basic, but having everything bound to the keys I want lets me do what I want quickly.

Wouldn’t want bad actors to find privacy respecting software.

aren’t you on a fucking anarchist instance, ding dong? shut the fuck up, we don’t do “apolitical” theatrics here.

And the absurd thing is that we probably should use natural diamonds for jewelry, as it is a waste to synthesize such a common rock. If they weren’t hoarded and aggressively marketed as something you have to have, they could just be a neat rock some people are into, there wouldn’t be child slaves dying to dig them out of the ground.

If it’s wedding ring, the marketing has been about how the purity of the diamond is symbolic of the purity of one’s love. So picking an uglier, but purer, diamond then coild be about prioritizing love over beauty or whatever in that person’s head.

So not necessarily exclusive to people wanting to present themselves as wealthy, that sort of emotional manipulation convinces broke people to blow their savings on a ring all the time.

There is Rock Pi and other SoC’s that have that. That H3/H3+ looks like a good option for a low power server for self hosting.

It’s the lack of hardware AV1 that concerns me, as well as droppong h.264. Raw CPU means it’ll still handle the latter, but since streaming will be moving to AV1 it’s kind of questionable whether this will be a reasonable media center.

Wait, paru can handle flatpaks?

Man, not even the cheap shit. $9 for 26.5 oz jar. How much did that even cost to do?

Worse. The game is Pathfinder 2e, the GM is following WBL, and if you use that healing potion - or literally any consumable ever - you can’t sell it to get your +1 striking rune a little earlier.

Divine blessings are not for me to use during tough boss fights, they are for my opponents in PvP to spam knowing they can just save scum from a backup save.

RE does help somewhat with limited inventory space - I find myself shooting weapons with abundant ammo to make room for new loot, despite being a consumable hoarder myself.

I mean, it works by your logic. Carbon caps are very easy to game and continue to fail to change behavior, as shell companies simply “sell” their credits to others. Meanwhile, sabotage materially - as in not on paper, but physically in rhe flesh and blood world - makes polluting more expensive, because equipment gets damaged, needs repaired, and might not get repaired. Even supressing it isn’t free, because cops and bribes lobbying costs money and as we saw in the 2020 uprisings the cops cannot be everywhere at once.

Were there a protacted, popular campaign of sabotage that called the state’s bluff, there simply wouldn’t be enough police or resources to actually make any of this profitable. Actual concessions would have to be made by governments and corporations. This is why the state has been so spectacularly violent against climate acticists despite even green scare “ecoterrorists” simply tying themselves to trees - it actually works. The state belongs to corporations and corporations aren’t going to just let us do shit that meaningfully undermines them, if they are actively suggesting the solutions themselves then it’s because they know it won’t require them to do something they don’t want.
