I think it's even funnier that we hand out labels right at the ticket stand to lemmy and turn around to say that labeling people based on norms is bad.

Someone needs to make a comic, you can't even make this shit up. Sign up for your next stake burning at a server near you.

If ICE made it a lifelong goal to eat all the shit I've ever shit in life, they'd still have more purpose and respect than they do now.

i.e. Eat my shit, ICE.

I used to use VSCodium, but in my quest to touch the mouse as little as possible I switched to Neovim.

I 100% do. I think mp3 is a good compromise of sound and space. It's also the format I'm used to. Just like how people swear by physical record. If I'm at a get together and hear mp3 quality, I'm at home.

That being said, I have my absolute favorites in flac for my iPod 5th gen video I rebuilt. The 5th gen's dac, Wolfson, is a solid little dac for the day and age. Got Rockbox loaded up and I'm ace, but I've hard saved all the Apple firmware for every model in case the time came to sell them. Old iPods could be an investment someday and I own every gen in multiples.

I remember when I was picked on at work for how big my Note 3 was. They used to call it "my insecurity". Now it's basically smaller than the smallest standard size.

The Note 3 did look ridiculously large back then. Kind of insane.

Yeah, I canceled Prime a few years back and it hasn't hurt me at all. You really get nothing in return, except maybe Prime Day deals and even then you can find the deals elsewhere. I've taken to cutting out the middleman and ordering through the product's actual website to better support them.

Mullvad has been €5 since 2009. Comes to a little over $6. $12 is just highway robbery. You won't regret the switch.

Mullvad has a lot of perks. Like I mentioned, no deals for buying yearly. Get it month by month for the same price. No account connections. You get an ID number and that's it. That ID is your password and username. Pay with nearly anything. Crypto, card, money services, even mail in physical cash.

There's a lot to love about it, and it hands down has some of the fastest tunnels I've used. Nord was always half my internet speed no matter what I connected to. You don't even need Google Play if you want to use it on android. It's open source, so grab it right on F-Droid. Easily supports any OS. If you don't want a GUI, there's a CLI alternative, too.

Then don't let anyone tell you its wrong.

Notepad++, Kate, VSCodium, Vim, NeoVim, Emacs, Nano; use what you love.

This. I love VLC, but it let me down today when it couldn't open an m3u8 stream that MPV opened with ease. No config meddling needed.

Yeah, but for every dictator there's countless intelligent revolutionaries. Especially when it comes to the internet.

They're really shooting themselves in the foot trying to deny us/force overcharge the very thing they use to make us complacent in the first place: media.

If they were smart they'd ignore this bill. It would just bring attention to their attempt to essentially seize the internet and for what? For us just to get around it again anyway?

Not to mention if they enforce US VPNs to conform it'll just result in more currency leaving the country. No wonder this fucking floundering economy is all our fault.

Governing is like holding a marble to the table with your thumb. The more you press down, the more likely that marble is to shoot out and break your shit.

Viva la Mullvad. I was sick of being bullied into buying more to get a deal. It may not be the cheapest, but I love that it's the same price across the board.

Plus, the only way you're going to get anything cheaper is by locking into a 1-3 year plan when you may not even need it every month.
