What?? Special occasion.
Same here, nano is the bane of my existence.
Yess, let the hate flow through you! ⚡
Then I guess I simply won't frequent those sites.
If by 'Russian KoolAid' you mean easily preventable inflation, internal border controls due to EU support of genocidal Tel-Aviv regime, exorbitant energy prices, and blatant censorship that even Stalin would envy, then yes, I guess I was thirsty AF...
EU is a total shitshow. It has been for years, but lately we really suffer from this stupid bureaucracy. Paper straws, attached bottle caps, not to mention billions they mindlessly pour into the slugfest in Ukraine.
I get the sentiment, but no. No way. No way in hell I'm allowing advertisers to get a bit of data or a penny out of me in any way, shape, or form. Not the way they've been treating us for the last decade. They can eat dung for all I care. Total war.
To shreds, you say?
Indeed, there's nothing inherently exceptional in ~~billionaires~~ wealth hoarders, according to many studies of this phenomenon. They are literally just lucky enough that they managed to get their hands on such a ludicrous amount of money, they really aren't anything special.
Indeed, it's that rapist mentality, just like Rossmann calls it out in his videos.
I used #Twitter to get information from a variety of sources using #Quacker, all the way until they decided to basically prevent non-registered users to browse the website. Now you literally have to login to access the tweets, or see any comments, which is ludicrous. It's not that generic public forum it used to be any longer and I don't understand how they are expecting to get any meaningful ad revenue there.
#Mastodon is gazillion times better, has a normal community, albeit with a smaller user base, but that is probably a plus, since you don't get so many weirdos.
