My family decided to cancel Prime and stop ordering from Amazon after all the union busting they've been doing. I want to try my best to buy from companies that treat their employees fairly. It's really difficult to find reputable companies these days but avoiding Amazon is a no-brainer.

I like the small instance I belong to. It's represented by one or two of those buildings in that picture and that's okay.

I run Windows on the main family computer for simplicity and Linux on my personal (slightly older) laptop. I'm trying to teach my kids about it in hopes that they will have the same level of curiosity that I did back in the early 2000s. Plus I'd love to not run Windows at all.

This is why I'm here. Thank you.

Careful. They could be listening.

I only play Destiny 2 (always online) and Civilization 5 and 6 (only online for multiplayer). If a game is a live game like Destiny or Fortnite then I can understand it but not having an offline mode in a game like Diablo seems really dumb.

It will sound better than streaming directly from your phone but it's not worth it to most people. The cable conversation is a whole other subject. There are still audiophiles that claim that cables costing upwards of $1000 are worth it and sound better. It blows my mind.

I won't pay for anything that discord offers. I understand that companies are there to make money but they do not have anything of actual value to sell me. I don't care about emojis or Nitro or whatever. I just want a chat client that allows me to communicate with people I play certain games with. In-game chat can do this as well and I will simply go back to that if the monetization of discord gets to be too big of a problem. It's less convenient and sometimes sucks when folks are on different platforms but it's free.

I've noticed a lot of users on here actually really like the lack of recommendations. My use hasn't gone down but I do miss having videos on the YouTube main page, particularly on my PC.

He's referring to Mint gum. He choked on it.

A whole bag of them!

I am not in London (US actually) but maybe you would know if there's a Premier League or Football community to subscribe too. The two things I miss from Reddit are Premier League news and a subreddit for a particular game I play.

I mean it's on a laptop that's plugged into my stereo and streams Spotify and my music collection. On my main system I don't use snaps but for that particular one I wanted kubuntu and Spotify and that was basically it. But I guess you are right about them wearing me down.

By the way I use Slackware doesn't really roll off the tongue.

I really hope they can find it within themselves to be more accepting of the lifestyles of others. Most people in my family are like that. I don't spend a lot of time associating with them because of it.

It kinda looks like Sanjay from Sanjay and Craig.

I lost my username. It sucked but I don't feel screwed. I do feel like the username change was not necessary.

I use snaps for Spotify and Firefox. I know that it's "forcing" something on users in an ecosystem where things should never be forced on you but as long as they work, I just don't want to fight them anymore.
