Btw, "cryptobro" is a sexist term that excludes women.

I'm usually that person getting downvoted for insisting on inclusive language so I totally get you, but girl I've never met a cryptobro who wasn't a man.

Higgs and his gang are for sure foaming at the mouth looking at this situation from over in New Brunswick.

Another point: for equivalent models. Car manufacturers over the past two decades have been dropping the more affordable sedans and such from their lineups, favouring their more expensive SUVs.

If you're already using a whole second browser just for YouTube, may I suggest looking into FreeTube? It's a great YouTube desktop client.

I'm a non-binary, vegan, theatre school drop-out. I dye my hair a new colour every couple of weeks, my main means of transportation is a bicycle, and I'm currently unemployed but my last job was as a barista. Oh and I've read some Marx unironically.

I'm basically a right-winger's caricature of "a goddamn librul".

I use it as a frontend for FreshRSS, works great!

Francophones are not prioritized for employment or political opportunities. Do you know which linguistic group is prioritized for such roles?

Bilinguals.

Do you think a unilingual French speaker would have more opportunities in Canada than a unilingual English speaker?

Of course, people whose first language is French have much higher rates of bilingualism than people whose first language is English, for a myriad of reasons. But I find it illuminating that for all the whining I see from (some) Anglophones about "lack of opportunities because they don't speak French", their proposed solutions always focus on stripping Francophones of their rights instead of encouraging French language education for Anglophones. Many countries around the world have huge percentages of their population being able to speak two (or more!) languages, why shouldn't we strive for that? I see no downsides to increased bilingualism.

I live in New Brunswick, the only officially bilingual province in the Canada, where our unilingual Anglophone premier repeats the same talking points you do about how difficult it is for unilingual Anglophones to advance themselves in our province. All while holding the highest elected title in the province without speaking a lick of French.

To the vast majority of society we are not even considered human beings. To businesses and the government we aren’t considered human beings. We’re just a statistic.

I read the news a lot, especially local news. My city has seen unprecedented levels of homelessness in the past few years.

Who does the local media interview the most about this? Homeless people? Non-profits organizations trying to help despite lack of resources? Homeless shelters? Addiction services?

Nope; the local chamber of commerce. The focus is always on "oh no the poor people are affecting our businesses!" and never on the people literally dying on our streets. It's disgusting.

Little Music Player is the smallest I could find, clocking in at a whopping 21.7 KB but it might be a bit barebones even for your taste.

A deeper search uncovered Kure Music Player which has a bit more features but hasn't been updated since 2014. How vital is it that the app be under 1 MB?

Fair enough! Feeder is good too, and what I used before ReadYou. I usually just go to my unread articles, scroll all the down to the bottom and then scroll up from there.

Like the other person who replied to me, I just use it as a frontend for FreshRSS and it works fine for that. But now you kinda have me wondering why I never bothered checking out Nextcloud's RSS, how do you like it?

If you're in the market for an Android RSS app, I've been using ReadYou recently and I'm very pleased with it. Available both from GitHub and F-Droid.

The best Android KeePass client I've used is by far KeePassDX

Where do you keep your TOTP if not on your devices? Or do you own a separate device exclusively for TOTP?

When was conservatism not ignorant? Certainly not in my lifetime. It's been an ideology of anti-intellectualism for at least three decades now.

Oh don't apologize! It's nothing to do with you, I'm just dumb lol

Ah, makes sense! I was worried for your well-being for a second there :P Hope you get some rest soon!

Would be interesting if there was a script that could audit the licenses being used by all the installed applications

This thread is hurting my brain, but if I understand correctly maybe absolutely-proprietary is the kind of thing you're looking for? It checks your installed packages against a list of proprietary packages and suggests libre alternatives if they exist.

Are you joking? That seems ridiculously low to me. That's barely 300 metres per day. I walk more than that just pacing around my apartment on a typical day. I actually can't even envision what a life with so little walking would look like.
