Had a few people scream at me when I am cycling to work on the few sections I have to use roads with cars on.

Recent one I was cycling along and someone pulls out into my lane and expected me to move over for them. Nah, you fucking wait, this is my lane not yours. I can stand in the road with you shouting for a lot longer than it takes for you to reverse back to where you should be waiting.

Fuck I forgot about that. Still, we are allowed to mass boycott Amazon.

Non violent methods work but you need far more organisation for it to work. 1 person can kill a billionaire. It takes action of millions to starve a large corporation.

Non violent and legal protest are not the same thing. Then there is violence to property only too.

Boycotts can work if you have mass support and are totally legal. Blockades are usually illegal but non violent.

Currently seems like there is a lack of organisation. Even simple stuff like stop using the massive evil corporations as much is difficult to get anyone to do. Even if it saves them money!

Now that sort of thing could be more useful

Nope, not listening. I am using the increased friction as a reason for giving up and not using reddit at all.

Used Lemmy for a while but still browsed reddit logged out a bit. I noticd this recently so its only Lemmy now.

You post something in public, it is public. You post knowing others might do things you don’t like with it; that’s the bargain. Especially on social media.

And people act like I am strange for not wanting my fucking personal ID tied to every online account!

Not true, I like my slop human generated thanks.

Yes. Plenty of manufacturers do sell computers without windows.

Every RAM stick I bought in the past 15 years is worth more per GB now than when I bought it… If you bought RAM in 2008 the same is true, I just didn’t buy RAM at that point.

Yeah, as a former sweaty back commuter its a big improvement to not have a backpack on. Plus I get fewer holes in the back of my t-shirts now from friction between them and the backpack.

Although with the heatwaves right now I still get fairly sweaty, at least not having a backpack on makes it a bit better.

Ortlieb bags seem pretty good in my experience. I have the backroller XL which is a pannier bag with a shoulder strap rather than a backpack. Plus they are made in Germany and not just a German company with outsourced production.

Yeah bikes and scooters are easier to take inside. Which is a far better security option than locking it up.

Its a scooter, anyone can just pick it up and walk off with it. If you want security you probably need a motorcycle chain and lock. Don’t get cheap ones, cheap locks are terrible.

Recently opened a cheap lock by using the key from another lock and just jiggled it as I turned until the lock opened. Another lock I was able to pick with a single flat head screwdriver.

I am not good or experienced with lockpicking. Literally the only locks I have ever picked and without even using proper tools. But then if you leave it for long enough someone could always drill the lock too. Best you can really do is make it draw too much attention for the value of what they could steal.

the user having only a low power terminal

Low power terminals that are going to have enough power to run doom locally. Sounds like retro gaming might see a boost. Along with current games that have low system requirements like Mindustry.

Makes no difference to me as I mostly drink my own homebrew cider and mead.

A drunk 21 year old in a car could wipe out a family. A drunk 14 year old on a bike is probably at worst only going to kill themselves.

Yeah you really should be asking how the fuck you send someone to prison with zero fucking evidence of them committing a crime.

Surely bare minimum is that several people in the legal system need to be losing their jobs over it. If not facing criminal negligence charges of their own.

Looked up some suggested uses as first projects and they sound so boring and useless. Smart home stuff, no thanks. Manage personal finances and budgets, don’t need tools for that let alone AI powered ones. Email, I don’t want to use email in the first place.
