re: mental health support 

@xarvos i think you have done about everything you can :blobcathug:

you know you are right about mainstream linux being run by people with severed divine light when xlibre guy having "reactionary" opinions is considered more evil than a sister raping gnome developer.

advice needed re: mental health support

> he's treating me like a suicidal hotline, which i can't be

you are his friend, but his life it's not your responsibility. it's highly abusive what he is doing: you can be made day and night into listening to his stuff out of fear that you will be morally responsible. the only one responsible for a suicide is the person committing suicide.

legally spoken i'd call an ambulance. no need to get in legal trouble for not providing emergency help, as cynical as it seems.

lol, lmao

i certainly am not perfect, i use some non-free software. my phone contains non-free software. i don't have the money or time to gnuboot my main computer. i don't have the money or time for a broken phone.

if those break hard, i'm without a notebook or a phone. which would be a very serious problem for me.

i can't spare some hundreds of euros for yet another refurbished device, my old ones are pretty broken. i don't have the time or hardware knowledge to reflash with clamps or something.

but BY THE GNU, i do know that free software is always better in every aspect. i fully appreciate that using non-free software is bad.

i don't need to invent excuses why it's "fine". that would be like saying my nicotine consumption is just "fine". it isn't "fine". it's something i have to work on.

the FSF surely isn't perfect, nothing in this world is.

people criticized their board, new board was elected. wasn't the "right" people for the critics. FSF argues that an arms race between people who burn cycles isn't good and anti-user, critics spew some more bullshit. like anubis? fine, use it. i don't care. it's still a shit solution to a shit problem and the FSF is right about it.

bullshit anti-FSF takes are made by people watching the shadows in platos cave. EVERY vile critic of the FSF i've encountered was also feverish in support of morally bankrupt anti-freedom ideas. these are the kind of people that would support a totalitarian collectivist regime if their peer group would tell them it's the good cause.

does sound awfully familiar, most was only was 4 years ago!

The only reason commercial plants use uranium to begin with is that it's a dual-use technology and the military wanted a redundant supply chain for weapons production at the start of the cold war. If folks were serious about nuclear power they'd be building thorium salt reactors.

no bro you have to put it in old leaky mineshafts in heavily populated areas where it is a severe risk to groundwater

I don't like how Anubis is starting to become regarded as some sort of holy savior project with an annoying fandom that doesn't want listen to any criticisms pretending a piece of Javascript literally designed to waste CPU cycles is literally the only solution to the bot issue, while many other better options exist.

@ThatCrazyDude real heroes are chinese sellers imo. they produce pretty good stuff now at a fair price. had something in my ebay watch list, seller send me a price suggestion that was like 20% discount. i noticed it too late, did a suggestion myself with an even lower price and they just accepted it. really fair price that i got.

really can't complain about chinese direct sellers.

bonus points for that they always have their UNIFIED SOCIAL CREDIT NUMBER in the imprint. a taste of what is yet to come in the eussr.

@lain I decided to go on a nostalgia trip.

LOOK AT HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY.
