@thor Yeah, cats don't have facial expressions, but when we humanize them we think they do, like: "Oh, this kitty is so sad!"
No, it's not sad, stop it, this kitty always looks like that 😹
@thor It's sad to realize that I'm usually the person who doesn't let others do their stuff. On my last job I've outdone myself… No, I WAS myself busy most of the time, but when I had spare time, I wasn't doing something like reading the news, I was acting like Captain Murphy from Sealab 2021 — I just walked around the office looking for someone to interact with 😅
And they had legitimate reasons to respond. And I didn't even realize that at the time! I should never act like this.
@Jessica
That is true.
I don't know, maybe there is some backstory to this, but thread looks like the perfect example of what you say is wrong.
Maybe those who preach free software are annoying, but original post sounds reasonable.
And you make a comment like "Your priorities are all wrong!"
Isn't is kind of the same? 🤷
@thor @cobra
@Jessica Reactionary stuff like abortion bans (oversimplified, but let's call it that) happens when society loses control of the state. Surveillance facilitates that and free software helps fight surveillance to some extent. So it's all connected. In a way.
But yes, fanaticism rarely helps the cause. Any fanaticism and any cause really.

@inhosin Я тоже! И с ним обычно сложнее всего: все либо пытаются сделать что-то сильно оригинальное, но такого пива много не выпить — либо наоборот, крайне скучное. Выходит, бывает проще купить в магазине немецкую массовую марку и, по крайней мере, получить то, что ожидаешь.
Такое как на фото я не пробовал, надо будет 😋
@inhosin А оно белое как бельгийское белое или как немецкое пшеничное?
@cyberspook
This is also true, but too idealistic. It works only when everyone is conscious as extreme individualist. If someone else is using some tool and you are not, you're at a disadvantage. If a group of people unites and they are ready to use violence, we also have to unite to fight back.
Nation states exist precisely because they work. In some circumstances they are the lesser evil.
But healthy skepticism, if that goal really aligns to your interests, is always good.

@cyberspook
My reply was more of a joke, you took it too serious, but fine 😅
I agree with a lot of this, but you can't deny that we can have common goals as people who live nearby, members of the same community, people of same interests, members of same sex, etc.
We can unite to pursue common goal.
You're right though, we should avoid others pigeonholing us into some artificial groups and you shouldn't be offended if someone doesn't want to pursue the goal you consider common

@thor Nah, it got too cold too fast, I think it will get warmer once again before full-on autumn kicks in.
@freax Notification from MS Security Team: "We've noticed your underwear being worn in the unusual apartment, to make sure it's really you, we want you to change your underwear"
😂
@cyberspook
No, we are very much alike. All the same shit 🤣
Perhaps, we only differentiate ourselves to make ourselves feel better (than the rest) 🤷

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
