I inderstand fully. I used ti go through the same. At the same time I noticed a big difference when i got married. And a huge one when i had kids. Having a child and being responsible for it is a life changing situation. I tell my self that i became an adult not when i turned 18 but when i became a parent. When this happened to me, my perspective about work stoped revolving about being the best, and turbed to be just and help others be better. That made me soon to realize that those 2 cannot get always together.

Tldr: work 2 live > live 2 work

that’s possibly the best explanation of the difference between a corporate social or other media and a decentralised open source one.

Spread the word brother. You’re doing lord’s work

Firefox with add-ons. Especially, but not only, Ublock Origin.

Algorithmic Addiction from Social Media consumption. An analogy would be Caffeine addiction from coffee consumption.

Most people who use smartphones are addicts and are far from being aware of it.

10 mil in hand. Had to make mistakes to learn and get better.

Been using it for so long, that I forgot how I chose it

Thank for helping me fight my Social Media addiction. You guys made it look easy

I would call ethical piracy any kind of data acquiring that would otherwise be unattainable. A more common example is any kind of software and/or content that you pay and therefore should own and for any kind of reason the seller/provider restricts your acces to it.

1. Whether it is a movie/series/book/song you payed and for some good forsaken reason you cannot access it because you changed your hardware or your country doesn’t have access to it
2. Or it is any kind of software that you have to pay a subscription to keep a feature you previously had on a previous version (ex. Adobe)
3. or a video game that was removed from the service, has DRM and you can’t access it anymore and/or the server shut down and the company doesn’t release the source code
4. or an even older game you own but the cartridge/cd/disk/cassette is destroyed and or the console is not supported anymore and/or it is abandonwarevand the current owner is not know so it cannot be commercially distributed

Coprorations do not want anyone to own the hardware they sell by denying the right to repair, let alone software. The mere sence is unethical, so it’s ethical to at least acquire software through piracy.

Yeah, well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

That’s an insane stat. As a Reddit immigrant, I would love to know the percentage of those who posted on Reddit and/or were mods, have migrated as well. That would correlate with the increase of posts in Lemmy, as well as the degredation of content on Reddit. Let’s see how this goes.
