Steve Bannon says this? Sorry for being cynical, but I don't by anything that Trump's goons say.

What most people need to understand is that a lot of politicians don't believe in anything, except serving the interests of their donors.

Just like they didn't do anything about the "deep state" or the prices of eggs, they will never even consider doing anything that threatens Nvidia or OpenAI.

It's nice that the political discourse is shifting, but don't expect anyone who is currently in power to help you in this fight

Also, if you didn't want to know the answer, then why did you even ask?

How? I actually do the stuff I say, which would defeat my cliche of a communist online.

If you mean by that, that I am a communist and spend some of my time online, then you are correct.

It's not about not doing something, it's more about learning to do something.

I would personally recommend you start educating yourself about anticapitalism / anarchism and communism. Here is a good video to give you an overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrTzjaXskUU.
After that, maybe start with joining some leftist protests in your area or joining a local leftist group. Then talk to the people there and learn how to do even more.

It's hard, but it shure as hell is better than just giving up.

Nope, if people stopped buying lootboxes, they would just find something else.

The problem is not peoples behaviour, it is the fundamental incentive structures, that incentivize exploiting your customers.

If we really want to fix this problem, we need to abolish capitalism.

I am a huge believer in free software and researched a bit if there was any open source social media.

I found out the Fediverse was a pretty successful attempt at this and now I am active mostly on piefed and Mastodon.

Contrary to most people here, I don't have a huge gripe with Reddit, that I wouldn't have with any other corporate owned social media. I am here mostly because I believe in this project and want to see it evolve. I don't simply see it as a Reddit / Twitter alternative.

You could also consider donating it to the projects you are hosting. Because developing that software still takes a lot of labour and these devs really need it

Why does that need to be a gendered thing? Doesn't that apply to all people?

I have a used ThinkPad T460, I found a really nice deal for on eBay (90€).

It serverves me pretty well I mostly watch videos on it (works pretty well up to 1080p on Youtube), but it's fine for most things, web browsing, editing documents and even coding.

I used it during a game jam with my friends, we were making a 2d game in Godot and it was good enough for that. I am running Linux Mint on it, it is a miracle what Linux can do for your old machines.

Other than that, old surface pros are pretty good nowadays and the 5th/ 6th generation can be found for 150€ if you are lucky. They also have excellent Linux support if you get the right kernel patches .

But I would probably recommend you try out Linux on your existing Laptop and see how it works for you. M2 support is pretty good nowadays for Asahi Linux. Maybe get an external drive for that money.

I think both statements are true at the same time

I don't think it's an insult to be honest
