    Pay them more, sure. But also let's get rid of the artificial limit on how many we can have. They're not being used effectively and we're all worse off for it.

    Natural disasters are also part of nature. It doesn't follow that I should want to be hit by a tsunami because of this. It doesn't matter if we're part of nature. The negative affe…

    A large quantity of my games are outright terrible to play on my steam deck. I have my games divided into categories based on if they're worth playing on it or not. For more intens…

    The company doing well is a lovely outcome. However, at what point do they care about me doing well? Or do they just want to do the bare minimum to keep me alive and in my seat?

    The language is absolutely not the problem. It's not a particularly difficult or complex language at all. In fact, it's pretty elegant and easy to understand the language. It's the…

    I don't want to pay for the car nor the gas. Let's not let the same hostage situation extend to other aspects of our lives it we can avoid it.

    Even if someone could do fine, I'd prefer to skip out on them rather than let those who aren't fit through.

    Well, conveniently, this is benefitting the 1% much more than the 99%

    You'd do well here to not start attacking someone for how they want to live their life. Nothing about cooking means they have to stay inside while traveling. This is a fully valid …

    On the level of the US federal government, taxes are absolutely not for funding. They could hardly be more removed from it. They're a restriction the money supply, but they don't d…

    I'd argue that it's a falsehood to call a closed source application privacy friendly.

    When my Android phone broke in the past I was lent an iPhone 6s to use in the meantime. It was absolutely slow and many things didn't work. I ended up getting rid of it because hav…

    It's time to make WaylandX, for running Wayland applications on X. Well, I happily use Wayland so I won't use it, but maybe you would.

    Delivery to stores might be more efficient, but then the last mile cost doesn't go away. Most of the stuff that I would buy from Amazon isn't available at the stores that I go to s…

    On Android you can change any of the volumes using the keys. No need to go into settings and find the option each time. I change mine throughout the day.
