I'm pro single universal time zone. Preferable based on on of the points in the middle of the ocean so all countries have to change.

I can't speak for where you were at specifically but in some places if you don't "volunteer" to work it's looked at extremely unfavorably by parole boards.

I wouldn't necessarily call it slavery light though just a different type of slavery. American chattel slavery was uniquely horrible even amongst most of the other forms of slavery that have existed in the past.

durability systems in non crafting games suck all of the joy out for me. I get weirdly anxious about "optimizing" my weapons and end up only using bad weapons and making the game needlessly hard on myself.

God I really do hate so many lawyers/lawfirms.

I'm more than willing to pay money for supporting a service. But with that money comes expectations. If I am giving 20$ a year I expect things to work if it's free im pretty ok with something being broken for a bit.

Also if im paying money it would have to be split between my instance and lemmy developers.

I don't think I have ever seen a worse sourced Wikipedia section. I agree with the general sentiment but holy shit I'm suprised that whole section hasn't just been thrown out.

Edit: checked the talk page apparently it was one of the students edited ones which explains why it reads like an essay I rushed out the night before the due date.

I don't think it's a paid browser (there are a few of those though) it's a paid search engine.

Can we just be realistic and understand that most people can't/won't do this. Most people do not have the time/technical knowhow to host everything themselves.

Edit: came back to this and wanted to clarify. It would be great if people could self host literally everything but I don't get any crucial information through emails or really ever besides in person. I am more than willing to pay a reasonable amount to support privacy features but I'm not personally willing to spend 10x that amount in time to do something that will probably not work because I am not an IT person. I do not have to time to learn how to self host 26 different pieces of software that I have been told I need to self host nor do I have the spare computer parts lying around to build a machine to host them. I have looked at self hosting a matrix client because that is the one type of app that I get anything I want to keep private sent to me but my family is already using signal so I'm unconvinced that switching is worth while.

I should have made paragraphs but I forgot to my bad.

I'm still not sure how you fuck up bad enough to bankrupt a casino, let alone multiple.

I think a lot of people meme too hard and you end up with a the_Donald situation where all of a sudden the people agreeing with your jokes aren't aware you're joking. I have seen multiple right wing review channels unironically praise the helldivers government.

The fuck is wrong with you? Karma is designed to be addictive and make you want to make content for reddit. It's why the amount of karma per post is capped so hard
