Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

  • World War 3.

    But it won’t be a nuclear war that ends the world. (un?)fortunately. – Nuclear war doesn’t benefit the elites – Instead it will be a jillion proxy skirmishes all over the developing world, as countries get puppeteered by Russia/China/USA into fighting their battles, and said countries get ‘support’ in the form of weapons and training that will breed a whole new generation of extremist regimes and terrorists.

    In the end, we’ll be back to the same ol’ same ol’ – Life gets shittier for everyone in a gradual, painful, tedious way.

    1984 with just a hint of Wall-E.


















  • Man it wasn’t even anything crazy. It’s just.

    All my android devices have a syncthing service that… Syncs. Things. Between them and my PC/Homeserver.

    Now, the only app for Syncthing I could find on the Apple App store was a paid app, but I was actually fine with that: It seems Apple stuff is made for rich people, and I had accepted that everything would be paid for.

    Except.

    When you use Syncthing on Android it just. Drops things into folders. Like a normal program on a normal computer. And other applications can just access that.

    But nope, not here. Everything is in its own cage, and the user has exactly ZERO control over this (unlike, say, the likes of Flatpak on Linux, where it’s just a matter of granting permission manually)

    My comic book folder? I had to go through a cumbersome process to manually import all the cbr files into the comic reader app. Same for my video files.

    Plus like. Just the lack of options in general. It felt like I was in an airport – Stuck in an, admittedly nice, environment and only having access to whatever overpriced products existed inside that environment.
