Thank you, not just for showing respect and appreciation to the people behind Lemm.ee but because these posts are a magnet for the kind of trolls everyone should block before migrating elsewhere. 👌
I started using Discord in 2015 and around 2019 uninstalled it in favor of using it exclusively through a web browser (blocking as much of it's nonsense as possible). Discord takes too many resources hostage if anyone in your server is streaming something, even if you're not watching it. I don't have that issue when using Element (Matrix), Jitsi or any of Steam's broadcasting tools. The only reason I haven't deleted my Discord account yet is because some people I hold dear are incapable of trying something better nowadays (even when they already have it installed as is the case of Steam).
I'll need some time to find where to migrate, if at all. Lemm.ee was very well managed and I would've gladly volunteered to help out. My bad for not paying closer attention sooner.
If they wanted parental controls they'd use the ones already available and ask their ISPs to provide additional and more accessible ones per SIM card, per contract (though manually setting up limitations on each device works better and should suffice). Mandatory age and ID verification for websites is an authoritarian policy through and through, and goes far past anything that would protect children in any way (in fact, it would harm them).
When you choose to forgive someone you're not necessarily forgiving their mistake. It's not condoning, it's giving someone another chance to do better. Forgiving and protecting against risks isn't mutually exclusive, it just takes more effort to do both.
Yes. From my understanding, and sadly very close to what seems to happen today, most people chose to either ignore, downplay or justify those horrific events.
I'm reading posts as yours thankful to still find some people with common sense. I lost friends to covid while others kept ranting about nonsensical conspiracy theories and proudly rebelling.
One of the dumbest shit I've heard people say is "Why should I wear a mask for covid if I don't wear one for flu?". Well, if you actually gave a damn about anyone's wellbeing you'd wear a mask for BOTH.
Thanks for the heads up. It's version code 77 when downloading manually from Aurora Store in case anyone else is wondering. Please blacklist Canon Camera Connect after installing it to avoid further updates.
Saw a person smile, caught a scent of someone else, was able to breath normally, felt my heartbeat soften, noticed on my skin some small scars from my childhood, remembered a joke somebody dear to me used to tell, saw a young pup react to her first ever experiences, found somebody having a hard time transitioning from Windows to Linux... Thankful to be alive at the same points in time and space as some truly wonderful beings.
Also the false notion that if a third party benefits it will always result in a loss for their first party. Better education for everyone can only result in a better world for everyone. And if the issue with foreigners is some of them earned their place unfairly then the problem isn't nationality but the massive wealth gap billionaires keep on feeding. People should whine less and eat more rich, the healthiest diet out there. 10/10 doctors forced to leave the US would approve.
