Ya, I'd honestly rather an automated system that accepts and hangs up on the caller just so I don't need that stupid "YOU HAVE A VOICEMAIL" notification that I can only remove for 2 hours at a time.
Mine is simply a more specific example of the “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” argument that has been repeated here many times.
You mean the argument saying we cannot fix the system without abolishing the system? You're using it to instead justify the inequities of the system and henceforth ignoring them because you completely missed the point of the phrase?
1337 should be used with extreme caution. The fact that admins are removing negative comments even makes that a useless method of gauging file safety.
But of course, any tracker can have malware in their software bundles, and you should treat all with caution, especially public-facing ones. But I personally will be avoiding 1337 from hereon, for sure.
Fuck all these organizations who exist to exploit our data like a resource, and turn us into a profit.
I'm still on Discord, but everything else I use is FOSS where I can help it. I do not want to make a single 'nother tech billionaire to come into existence through my participation, and I'm pretty determined to abandon anything that threatens to thwart my ambition.
I'm so tired of being made a product, a client, or a customer.
I have no religion. I have no real spiritual belief. The little bit of "supernatural" I ""believe in"" is conjecture beyond the bounds of the universe, and are more like "ya I think this is my best answer for things" or "what if?" rather than an actual belief.
Within the bounds of the universe, I generally subscribe to scientific consensus, I'm not nearly smart enough to really argue against people who've spent their careers building upon the theories of those before them.
This is a bad parallel to draw, and I think you're aware of that.
