Look man, I get that piracy isnt an ethically clean solution, but the current state of legal digital media is nowhere near ethically clean either, and I’m far more likely to root for a person than I am for a corporation. Especially since its because of corporations that the digital ownership sphere is so fucked

If that happens well then Piracy still exists. None of the other baskets aside from GOG are worth putting eggs in

I feel like honeybear suits them better. They seem sweet like honey in how they support minorities and protected classes, but then they support viciously genocidal dictatorships like Russia and China

Its impressive they can keep their bathrobes so white when they’re surrounded by shit xD

With the way our climate is going I think our current level of immigration is training wheels for whats soon to come, so we need to be making houses both to ease our housing crisis, AND meet our ongoing immigration

Oohh, that sounds pretty good! I’m a bit of an old man when it comes to apps though and try to avoid them unless absolutely necessary, that might tempt me into looking into some of the lemmy apps though!

Now that I’ve goten addicted to the block feature, I’m probably never going back to reddit. Dont like the content from specific servers while I’m browsing the top pages? Block, they stop existsing. Find myself getting baited into low effort arguements? Block and move on. I feel faaaarrr less stressed out lately

Yeah, that was the final nail that made me clear my response and put my edit

Edit: Nah its clear this dude’s a troll

We need more housing and higher wages, everything else is noise at this point

Heres a more pressing quandry. What are we going to do about the fact that Technology continues to kill more jobs than it creates, and is starting to do so at a faster rate. There isnt enough livable wage paying jobs left to allow everyone access to proper food and housing.

Edit: Also, UBI doesnt need to fulfill ALL needs, there are many luxuries and ways to better ones life and social standing that would provide enough of a carrot for enough of the population to seek ways to contribute. The flip side that people who are worried about societal contribution I have 2 points:

1: Do half of the highest paying jobs we do now contribute all that much to society? It really seems nowasays that the highest paying jobs include the highest levels of exploitation

2: If people are freed from being forced to work to pay their bills, more people would ve free to volunteer, our society is so work heavy its incredibly hard to convince oneself to donate what little time one has left afterwards to a volunteer organization
