Both this and ‘you are my sunshine’ just instantly flip an emotional switch for me, I don’t know why they make me want to cry but they just do

This is why critical thinking is such an essential skill. So many people out there are convinced about things with bullshit arguments, just because the person talking is charismatic/confident or popular and influential.
Note: Critically thinking doesn’t mean denying everyone and everything and holding controversial beliefs in order to feel smarter than others, it often starts with admitting your very own mistakes first. Just like with other’s arguments you should be applying the same checks to your own thinking and notice your own fallacies to correct them.
That’s kinda like saying, “If someone pulls a knife on me in the street and asks for my wallet, nothing will happen because killing is illegal”.
Google owns both Chrome and your password manager, at any time they are perfectly capable of pulling the plug on them, leaking data, charging you for them, etc.
People say that the devs are extreme left, though I haven’t seen anything extreme first hand, simply being communist is a very valid opinion but I guess there’s more to it. Besides politics, the project is very nice and promising, and I’ve had very useful feedback from the devs while trying to make a pull request for a new feature.
Sadly the only mega project that might save us is getting rid of unchained capitalism
I’ve moved completely to Arch and I don’t think I’m going back. It supports every game I’ve wanted to play up until now except Fall Guys, worst case I’ll set up a small Windows partition or VM for the couple of exceptions that I still want to play
Thank you, I’m tired of everyone taking this too far. I’m also hardly against authoritarian regimes of any kind, left and right, but this is a generic use open source software we’re talking about, not a political party. I support the platform and I appreciate all the devs for what they do, it’s really good software and it makes me happy as a programmer myself to see social media code that isn’t filled with bloat and spaghetti code or malicious anti privacy features
It used to be for me too, but I got used to the idea and I feel like it really takes a load off my mind now, not only on the browser but IDEs and any other application with tabs. If you don’t remember why something is open, you probably don’t need it that much
Capitalism is good at creating things, but terrible at maintaining their quality over time, because at the end of the day profits don’t always go hand in hand with product quality
The world is pretty fucked up, it always has been and so it will continue to be.
And none of it really matters either, it’s all just a tiny flash of light in the darkness that will soon fade away to nothing.
However, here we are, living in a beautiful planet that was blessed with life, so many different plants and animals, sounds, smells and tastes, music and art, being able to talk with others, laugh, cry, love. We’re only microscopic creatures that live on the tiniest spec of dust imaginable, but to our tiny eyes there is plenty of beauty to be found. And for as long as we are able to see that beauty, there is a point to it for us, we can try our best to enjoy what we have for the little time that we have it, before we finally become one with the universe.
