I use proton vpn

I was perfectly happy with streaming services for a couple years when there were only like 2 good ones. I stopped torrenting for a long time and now I’m back to torrenting again

Communism is the original bootlicking

Tbh it seems like there are no good alternatives to protonmail. You just have to host your own

How’s that boot taste

Yeah just had to genocide a few million Ukrainians to get there!

Yeah that’s why the Soviet union outcompeted capitalism in the 1980s lmao

Can’t imagine wanting to work for big tech these days lol. These companies had insane reputation in the 2010s. People thought working for Google was like working in willy wonka’s chocolate factory. They really squandered their brand.

Feel bad for his mom, not him

I had a bitwarden premium family plan

I recently moved my digital life away from google and microsoft. I previously had the following subscriptions:

• ExpressVPN
• Onedrive
• Bitwarden
• Office 365

And I had a gmail account, which I often used for SSO. I realized that, the total monthly cost of these subscriptions together was more expensive than a single Protonmail *family * subscription, so I cancelled them all, got the family subscription, and now my wife and her sister all have protonmail accounts as well as storage, a password manager, and VPN access. In the process of moving my logins to my protonmail account, so that I don’t have to keep my ancient Facebook account around for signing into things like spotify anymore. Coupled this with moving to the federated internet from reddit and instagram

I also dropped office for libreoffice. MS Office provides dubious value over the free competition, especially with a SAAS model.

Finland. Coffee, cigarette, and vodka. Called blöro

Neither is tiktok. It’s just media

I’ll take “dad’s who die alone in retirement homes” for 3000, Alex

At my company I start all new projects without a framework. I try to write things in templated backend frameworks with no javascript on the frontend. If I need javascript, I try to use web components, styled with modular css in the shadow dom.

However, this sometimes requires an absurd amount of build tool configuration with webpack in order to get static asset and typescript loading working just perfectly. I end up kind of just writing my own framework instead

Hoping this results in more people writing 3D games from scratch

It’s like a better version of npm. monorepos work better with yarn

I like planet money from NPR

Need to reorganize liberal politics from the ground up. Liberals need to justify their existence and the value of their policies at the city and state level and use that to build a national brand. Democrats in federal government seem to be totally unwilling to push their agenda in deference to political norms, but in my state they get quite a lot done when they’re in power

Twitter has always been the red headed step child of social media. It had outsized cultural importance because most people consumed it via screenshot, not actually browsing the site. The reach of an individual twitter user is greatly augmented by their reach on other social platforms via screenshot
