No, our politicians and the dummies that follow and support them blindly are the baddies.

lol no. Go outdoors and put that shit on DND. Scroll later. Can’t stand when I see someone craned over a phone when they’re somewhere surrounded by nature.

It’s only brain rot if it’s all you do all day long. Everything in moderation. It’s also often times the only window into other cultures for people that don’t have the money to travel. I’d rather scroll through stuff that teaches me something, than I would the endless US oligarchy brain rot feeds.

Why not both? The grass isn’t that wonderful everywhere.

I like Loops too! I’ve ditched everything except Loops and RedNote for social media.

I think it only uses it for initial verification. I already get a ton of spam on my number so it doesn’t really bother me. Highly recommend checking some of the content out though if you want an unfettered view into everyday life in China. It’s been a fun adventure.

Hello, RedNote.

It worked for me. I had 78 new games played last year alone, and a good amount of them were ones I’ve had in my library for a while.

This looks like a blast! Makes me want a VR headset just for this lol.

I saved them from a landfill! They smell kinda weird though.

I take it as more of an observation and use it to be more mindful of what I buy, the services I use, etc. The reality is that we don’t know what happens behind the scenes with so much of this stuff, but we can still be conscious of it and use it as an opportunity to reduce clutter in our lives.

Agreed. If I haphazardly ditched services based on the opinions of tech folks, I’d be reduced to using a pair of cans attached with string and nothing else.

Yeah, I think (hope?) we will find that his opinion is not echoed among them.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and that applies to tech. I pay for Proton and this is disappointing af but not shocking. Corporations and wannabe billionaires always fold to fascism.

Gonna start looking around at alternative email services to consider but I use my Proton email everywhere, so switching away is going to suck.

Quake 3 in VR?! That’s interesting.

Yeah, that’s how I hope this plays out. I’d love to see a fork take off with a healthier community.

Anyone politicizing the fires from the comfort of a place that isn’t burning to the ground, should immediately shut the fuck up.

I kicked off 2025 by finally deleting both my Instagram and Facebook accounts. Do yourself a favor and ditch social media. You will be a healthier human.

WordPress is dead. Those contributors have all been there for ages. Without them behind it and Matt continuing to shit where he eats, there’s no coming back. It will stick around because it runs a metric fuckton of the web, but I foresee it basically being in a state of super unexciting maintenance mode.

How to say you don’t understand gender without outright saying it.
