  • why do you want to make the switch?

  • if I was billionaire rich, I would buy companies that provide essential services and make them non profits.

    buy useful tech services and convert them to non profits without advertising. e. g. YouTube etc.

    lobby to ensure environment protection laws are made to protect the environment and not profits.

    stop government subsidies on anything that's bad for the environment. meat. fossil fuels.

  • just leave them. i thought I would miss some of my communities. but I don't at all... and the toxic right wing propaganda doesn't make the front page ever.

  • i went abroad as an immigrant too. some of the best friends I made were fellow immigrants from various countries. I got to know the Russian ones best and we are still in touch 20y later

  • api changes breaking my ad free client (reddit is fun) got me to leave. never going back

  • oof. so the only thing I can think of are:

    1. he relates with this form of abuse because of some previous experience
    2. he was bribed

    I'm not sure what to tell you. if you tell him this is a deal breaker, and he doesn't address it to your satisfaction, then you have your answer.

  • from what you laid out it sounds like textbook abuse and rape. can you get more facts about the case? or ask him why he classified it as sex with a minor?

    if it was indeed textbook abuse and rape which he classified as a lesser offense, that's something I might not be able to look past.

  • for instance alpine has a small footprint. its designed for containers ... but I think it has a DE as well

  • oh lol. been there done that. finally learnt it's never worth your time to try and change someone's beliefs.

  • if you're planning to leave because trump got elected, then be warned. the UK has similar problems

  • lol you're underestimating the power of spin. goo policies have made things harder for the working class for decades. but they spin it so artfully that the working class strongly backs the GOP.

    if things become worse for voters, trump will blame the left. and some far right nutjob will get elected by a landslide again.

  • I know one of those people. they are now angry the left lost... 🙄

  • why hardware kill switch? with Linux u can disable them and unload the associated kernel modules. is that not good enough for u?

  • I used seafile in the past. but I abandoned it for syncing. might help your use case ...

  • please mirror to codeberg. (or move completely to codeberg). they are more in line with your mission.

  • so one thing I never got when. I was watching robocop was the danger of having mega corporations owning public services. I never gave it a second thought, and liked robocop cause hey robot cop action 😃

    now we are living in a reality where billionaires and mega corporations own public services. it's scary

  • I use syncthing for this purpose all the time. I seemlessly move from my work PC, home PC or laptop. I sync my data directories and most of my config settings. some are different per system (monitors, etc). 10/10 highly recommend

  • check where your retirement and savings are invested. buy a low cost index fund (fidelity and vanguard have great ones).

    do not invest in any funds that have high fees. (there are plenty of good funds with fees around 0.1%)

    I split my savings between:

    • total domestic stock index
    • total international stock index
    • cash/money market/bonds
    • a small amount in a sector fund with higher growth potential (e. g. tech) or risky investments
  • if they'll cheat with you, they'll cheat on you
