@jwz Ah! I meant users of firefox. Like, I have a hard time imagining a single user that wouldn't feel negatively about this.
@jwz I'd love to hear the perspective of someone that actually has positive feelings about this.
@lvk Ty! I was thinking cartoons since I like making really exagerated voices. My partner is an animator so hopefully they can get me a small role some day.
@lvk I looove AppImages. They just work and packaging them is so easy 😭 That's the main way I use Agregore actually.
@brandon Yeah I think it's too late for me to get famous and the road there isn't lucrative enough to take care of my family 😅
@Miaourt that's a cool concept. Do you know of any long form written text that gets really into the weeds on it? I personally enhoy working, but wouldn't mind less pressure to work for specific oegs just to live. I also think UBI could be good for folks that are disabled or near disabled or just low capacity.
@Miaourt this was unconditional livable basic income. https://www.parl.ca/legisinfo/en/bill/44-1/c-223
The book mostly goes over how pilot programs showed savings in gov spending and boosts to local economies and people's quality of life.
@Miaourt Yessss. I kinda like the book [Utopia for realists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia_for_Realists) and UBI adjacent stuff.
The Canadian government (where I'm from) recently struck down an attempt to enstate it federally. It's unfortunate because conservatives and centrists folks hold a lot of power here and seem to passionately dislike stuff like that :P
@Miaourt Yeah I agree fully. A lot of it is probably also "that's how it's done" or "they did it so we should too". 😥
@Miaourt Oh? I don't think I've seen any of those before 💀💀
I wish org leaders had enough pride in their orgs to care about user experience over data harvesting.

@serapath You're like the cliche of "freedom of speech means I should get to be an asshole everywhere" embodied as a person and your post here is a great example of that.
Notice how nobody else gets kicked from places except spam bots or open trolls.
Having boundries is the foundation of social relations and you feeling entitled to break them is one of your biggest flaws and why you cannot be trusted to engage in good faith.

@serapath The way you react to any sort of criticism to not just you but anything related to stuff you have opinions on is like the textbook definition of "male manipulator sociopath". You just gaslight and redirect and pretend like you're a victim. It's like you're following a cliche script but it seems like you are just genuinely so shallow and self centered it's the only way you can operate despite years of room for growth.

@serapath On top of it all your technical knowledge is not great and you often say things that are wrong or uninformed and bring productive discussion to a halt. You focus on just a tiny sliver of what make sense but generate paragraphs of text that mean basically nothing and have no relevance to conversations that others are trying to have.
It's like talking to an LLM with a high temperature setting and a prompt of "be as unhelpful as possible".

@serapath You are a major reason people get further away from the dat ecosystem. Behavior like this is why it's safer to block you than bother sinking energy into having you mindlessly spew hurtful waste in people's face and be in denial at the outcomes of your actions. And why it's safer for folks to avoid spaces you post than to try to engage and be at risk of you spamming at them.
