Yeah, so do I. I sometimes even comment stuff that I know are wrong, just to get a conversation going, lol 😂.

Be the change, post something 🤷.

Everyone complains, but no one does anything about it…

I R baboon.

Mooom, the normies are bulling me again.

Well, at least they’re using Linux.

Yeah, that might fly with friends, try your family or your wife.

I thought you were a house painter.

Hell, I wouldn’t tell it here as well. It’s going to the grave with me.

Yeah, I got confused with the dragon picture as well 😂.

Why autism 🤨?

No, I mean the portable nature of Chromium makes it a perfect candidate for making browsers like Vivaldi. And yeah, Vivaldi runs Chromium/Blink.

I just don’t have the time and the energy to do that any more. Too old and have a family now, which takes up most of my free time. The rest I spend here, on Lemmy.

Or Vivaldi.

That whole ‘nothing lasts forever’ thing isn’t because the changing internet standards, it’s because companies and websites choose to adopt those standards rather than stick with backwards compatibility.

That won’t stand true with Google I’m afraid. They adapt quickly. Meta is probably quicker than them, but doesn’t have the user base Google has, so it really can’t dictate that much.

Sure, I use them, but I have a good reason why I started using them. I lost my plastic 3 times in one year. I have a small kid, he’s glued to me, whether it be the market or the playground, doesn’t matter, he’s always with me. He distracts me all the time (aways asking questions), so I just forget to take my plastic sometimes 🤷.

So, even though I was against it, I decided to use Google Pay (now Wallet). I rarely forget my phone (only when I leave home, so it’s at home), plus it’s big and bulky, you notice it missing sooner than a piece of plastic.

If there are any FOSS alternatives, I’d gladly use them, but as far as I know, there are none 🤷.

tl;dr?

Yeah, I know all that, but I’ve just given up at this point (look my comment above as to why). I’m just too old for this back and forth bullshit till the end of time. And I don’t think things are gonna change any time soon. Unless a global catastrophy plages mankind, nothing is gonna change… like an asteroid impact or something like that. People show their greatest virtues and unite only when faced with grave danger… it’s just how humans are, they don’t do shit about anything unless all of their friends, relatives, family are in immediate danger.

And even if we avoid this grave danger, things will soon get back to same old, same old. A large chunk of humanity (like over 95%) needs to be wiped out in order for people to take things seriously and shift their mindsets in an entirely different direction… and even then, there is no guarantee that that will last.

Yeah, this thing works if everyone around you is not an asshole. It doesn’t if everyone is. And even if the copycat or copykitten win in the end, the number of retries is just too tiring, so you just give up and decided to not trust anyone, thus becoming the cheater, same as everyone else.

It’s because people usually search for that… one of the many reasons why I lost hope in the human race… people getting their kinks on other people getting beaten up or killed… I mean, it just goes to show you how worse we are even than animals.

The paid ones didn’t, the free ones did.
