Not to downplay any of the myriad problems here in the USA, but I think many of us are trying to believe that a better world is possible and this sometimes leads to unrealistic views of how much better things are abroad. Sometimes.

But I am hopeful that this country is increasingly humiliated for at least a couple of decades.

I was never willing to give my life for anything and that's still true.

My AI can do that actually.

I don't think writers should be paid either. We have AI to do all writing now anyway, so what do we need writecels for anyway? 😏

If streaming in home is all you do, I find lighter/cheaper android handhelds are a better option.

I'm with you. I appreciate Librewolf for what it is, but to me it's just annoying by default and I've also settled recently with Zen. It has even made me get used to using vertical tabs for the first time.

I saw on Mastodon someone say something kinda like this: good people don’t feel the need to dominate others.

I worry this is just rationalizing ones passivity as just an inherent part of ones assumed "goodness."

It makes sense to if they want their encrypted email magic to be useful. A paid user can instruct a contact to make a free proton mail account in order to have secure communication with them

That's good, they might have improved. Mine didn't last a year, but I think it was an earlier version.

It was a few years ago so I can't really comment on newer versions. But I recall the plastic bottom coming away from the top more and more over time. They don't manufacture their own laptops, so they are kinda stuck relying on a third party. (Clevo, I think.)

The US government has something of a credibility crisis, doesn't it? (And I don't think it started with Trump, though he makes it worse.)

Yeah, I can sort of understand the impulse that everything must be preserved no matter what because we don't know what will be useful or interesting, but it's not realistic. Embrace ephemerality! It's fine!
