I actually don't give in that easy. I could have used Google Pay a lot earlier, like years ago. But I didn't. I even dealt with cash only for the longest time, until some stores just stopped accepting cash 🤷.

He says IoT devices are bad. He says most Linux distros are bad just cuz they don't use everything GPL licensed in them. Says don't use this, don't use that, yet the alternatives to what he proposes are... just no usable in the 21st century. Read pages in plain HTML, yeah right 😒.

It's the lingo he uses, he marks everything as bad, except for GNU or GPL licensed software. And that is off putting to most people and is why many new projects don't even use the GPL any more, they use MIT or BSD quite more often. The complete lack of any legal support for GPL projects from the FSF is also another reason. "There are just too many, we don't have enough lawers". Have you ever thought about, IDK, paying those people? Like you win one lawsuit, make a deal with the owner of the licensed work for him/her to invest part of the winning over to the FSF in order to actually pay these lawers and other people involved in the process. Do the same with every case, and you have yourself a sustainable system. No one wins this way, except those who infrindged the GPL license.

My 2 cents... doesn't mean that I'm right, but these are one of my personal reasons why I steer away from the FSF and RMS. These people are stuck in bitterness and grudges, no real insentive to offer a viable alternative whatsoever. It's like the Pale Moon project, except PM is much worse.

It's the reverse with her. She's beating everyone else up for different things that happened ages ago, but she has to bring them up. It's not one single big incident, they're individual incidents, not related or anything... it's just shit she remembers and just has to be the high and mighty judge, judging everyone else about their sins 😒. I mean, it gets tiring after a while. Yes, we know we screw up, we make mistakes, we are human, that's what humans do.

But, dare not point at her own mistakes, oh no, not only will you get a shitstorm of insults, completely unrelated to the problem, but also get accusations that this problem or mistake of her's is not actually her fault, but everyone elses... that, or she'll just start crying and play the victim.

I just don't have the time and the energy to do that any more. Too old and have a family now, which takes up most of my free time. The rest I spend here, on Lemmy.

Then it must be a creature of some sort... maybe a scavenger of some sort... who knows...

To be honest, I'm not the type of guy to dwell on these sorts of mysteries, I would be like "huh, that's odd... oh well" and then just keep doing whatever it is I was doing. My wife is more that sort of type, even to the point where she would do a night watch... pisses me off 😒.

Aw, man, thanks, this might be exactly what I was looking for ☺️ 👍. Don't mind if the case breaks either, I can always fix it or just order a new one.

OK, OK, you got me there 😒.

I hate flip covers, it takes forever to see who is ringing.

I'll just look for something on AliExpress. I didn't know phone cases that can hold cards was a thing, otherwise, I would have searched for them earlier.

beating yourself up over it won't really help you, and all you can ever do is change your present and future, not the past.

You should really talk to my wife about this.

Or Vivaldi.

That whole 'nothing lasts forever' thing isn't because the changing internet standards, it's because companies and websites choose to adopt those standards rather than stick with backwards compatibility.

That won't stand true with Google I'm afraid. They adapt quickly. Meta is probably quicker than them, but doesn't have the user base Google has, so it really can't dictate that much.

With 3k coffees in me and I still don't look properly awake.

The way he presents them and approaches certain subjects is what's offputting. He's got this black and white atitude towards the world and how things work, when in reality, everything is just a shade of gray.
