Americans are such a passive people. Their state can commit the worst atrocities, no peep from them. If this was any EU country, heads would be flying.

EDIT: After writing this, I thought and I disagree with my own statement. People suck. All people, generally. Some are a bit more passive than others, but generally, humanity sucks, people suck. We value comfort way too much and are not up to give up 0.1% of it, even in the face of atrocities. Principled people are very rare.

I find that "money" and "cash" should be the same community, if any. I just don't see enough content for each of them separately. I don't even see enough content overall. This splitting of communities into 100s different ones is, to me, the death by a thousand cuts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Mangione

Allegedly, killed a bad person. The "allegedly" refers to the idea that Luigi was the killer, not that the dead guy was a bad person.

The only way for society to improve, is for people to be willing to sacrifice their comfort with the goal of improving society. Luigi was willing to sacrifice his comfort for the better of everyone else. The opposite makes a bad person. The dead guy was willing to sacrifice everyone's comfort for improving his own life. One minimizes suffering. The other maximizes it.

What?

I don't think you know what centralization/decentralization means.

On matrix, you scan spin up a server/instance and communicate with any other matrix server/instance. On Fluxer, if you self-host, and your friend also self-hosts, your instance/server cannot communicate with your friend's instance/server. You would have to create an account on your friend's instance/server and vice-versa. You would also, probably, have to be running two clients in order to chat in both servers/instances.

What the fuck.

Hey! That is great!

What sort of apps/software do you use to update OpenStreetMap? I would also love to do something like that. Can you do a brief explanation on how you do it, please?

This is a good way way to put it, and I hadn't though of that. Switching "apolitical" with "fine with the status quo" is elucidating. I will be doing that from now on.

Thank you for being on lemmy!

Ya, I plan to do it that way. But spotify quality is enough for me, and if one could get songs easily by just searching/downloading from that hack, it would make my life much easier. I suppose the spotify hack also has more songs than soulseek.

Sorry for asking a question?

If they WERE in Anna's Archive, the answer would be "yes". That is, one can get the songs, and one can do it by going to Anna's Archive. However, the fact that the songs are NOT in Anna's Archive, does not prove that the songs from that hack cannot be obtained, which was my question. They could be elsewhere. In some specific site made for that hack. Or some torrent, or something like that. Someplace I don't know about.

Thank you for replying, regardless.

I am right there with you. And I see some people referring to him as "charismatic". A point that is often made is "JD Vance won't be able to do anything since he is not charismatic". And I think to myself "What the fuck? Anyone is more charismatic than that fat ugly pedophile piece of shit Trump".

I think people are confusing terms. In my opinion, Trump is not in his position because he is charismatic. He is in his position because he is stupid as fuck. Almost to the point of being retarded (sorry for the term, but fuck that). People of power see Trump as POTUS and think "wait, he is so stupid, I can use him for my own gains". And they do so. Trump is a marioinette.

Trump is an ugly evil person. But worse than that, he is showing how ugly and evil other people are. And those other people seem to be a significant portion of the population!! Everyone who is taking advantage of him is equally ugly and evil. This is the most scary thing to me. Not that Trump is evil, but that the number of people that are equally evil is larger than 30%.
