So not even any consideration of voting 3rd party? The concept that voting 3rd party is throwing away your vote is perpetuated by the 2 parties that want to stay in power. It’s easier to focus on one opponent, but the more people become comfortable with other options, the harder it is for the 2 parties to bullshit their way into power.

I don’t think google wants to get hit with another antitrust lawsuit for web browsing, so I am sure they will figure out some other deal to funnel money to Firefox

I wonder if he made a big deal when Battlestar Galactica did it for their promo poster:

I don’t live in the snow so never tried in real life, but local laws usually classify different levels of two wheeled vehicles. Some laws treat level 2 and under, where most e-bikes are, the same as bicycles. Mopeds and motor-driven cycles are a level above that are allowed on surface streets the same as cars but too underpowered for the highway. Then the level above that is the traditional motorcycle that are allowed on streets and highways.

tl;dr, it might be allowed for e-bikes to have studded tires depending on how local laws classify it.

Buy an electric bicycle and use the money you would have spent on a car to run for a seat for local office on the platform to improve local transit infrastructure

In my opinion, the low fertility rate is a sign that Millenials and Gen Z feel that society is not working for them and id making everyday life difficult. Why have children and make their lives, along with the lives of their children, harder?

The animals of course. Vegans don’t have enough meat on them.

This is a cool idea! I contribute little by little when I can but this app looks like it makes it more convenient to do so.

It’s funny that I am rewatching the series right now. Thankfully it is still as good as I remember it

I will also add I am currently reading issue No. 127 of the literary magazine Zyzzyva. Not a book, but a decent collection of short stories, poems, essay, and even bits of visual art.

I recently finished a classic sci-fi book, Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov. It is part of The Foundation book series. I started the original first book about 7 years ago and have come back to the series every few years. They’re pretty interesting and can see why they are considered classics.

Looming back it was probably Windows XP as the last time I used Windows as my main OS. I switched not because Windows was enshittified like it is now, but because the FOSS movement sounded interesting to me. I loaded Ubuntu on an old laptop, and once I got drivers working it covered everything I needed besides gaming. As I became more of a casual player I used Windows less and less until now where I only use it at work. It’s been an interesting journey.

I don’t really care about the real init war, but I like this conic version!

I like the default look of Nitrux

You get to pick. 90 seconds, 90 minutes, 90 hours, 90 days, 90 weeks, 90 months, 90 years, 90 rotations around the Milky Way Galaxy, 90 cycles of the Big Crunch/Big Bang, 90 iterations of God, 90 iterations of whatever made God, etc…

You are correct that in our current capitalist system, the employees were in the wrong.

The problem is the capitalist system itself is wrong.

The Antiwork community is here to as a counter culture to the capitalist/corporate culture that has become so ingrained in our society at large. The idea that a person is forced to stay at work for their entire shift, even during times where there is no work to be done, is a problem. That is essentially where the term “wage slave” comes from, because while we are on the clock we lose our freedom to do what we want with our time.

The browser in my computer at work doesn’t have an ad blocker. I haven’t installed one because I most of the time I’m using it to access our intranet. But when I do happen to use the internet, damn are there so many ads! They literally block the content I’m trying to read, and come back even when I try to close it.

All that to say, due to enshittification I will forever keep my ad blocker on my personal computer.
