My issue is that Spotify has sort of locked me in by knowing my tastes pretty well. My discover weekly and release radar as essential listening every week and I'm not convinced I'll be able to transfer my fingerprint in a satisfactory way.
I'm not saying that we shouldn't acknowledge that the system is at fault, but we should also be able to acknowledge that change requires us to change our own habits to shift the status quo. Where I live there used to practically be no vegetarian meals other than salads and fries and now (in cities at least) you'll be hard pressed to find a restaurant that doesn't offer realistic vegan options on the menu.
That didn't happen because the system decided "wow, animal rights" but because people, with their wallet, were the voice of change. Same goes for other mentioned issues. We have a system in place in Germany that allows unlimited regional travel for a flat price of 49 euro a month (or 39 for people getting social help or even 29 euro for students). That's one thing that's trying to provide a more environmentally friendly alternative for everyone. Change is possible and your actions to contribute.
I just deteste when people act like there isn't anything we could do and that that somehow excuses their lack of effort or interest.
Look the important thing is always that it's someone else's fault and if I were to change my ways it wouldn't make a difference anyway so let's just all keep doing what we're doing.
My problem is that I enjoy specific multiplayer games. League, Val, Finals. Those are the three right now and riot specifically seems a tad disinterested in Linux. Sadge.
Renshuu is Japanese specific and has been really enjoyable for me. Has a community of people contributing fun mnemonics (eg. "WArio's big fat dumpy" for the hiragana of Wa) and a clearly caring developer.
Meat consumption contributes to the climate crisis and a lot of land is wasted on feeding farm animals. You don't have to care about animals to reduce or give up your meat consumption :shrug:
It's an exchange where you can exchange a token of the same name (their token). The primary purpose is not for that token, it's mainly known for being an exchange.
Are they still a victim if they've been yelled at for close to a decade that these kinds of things are the standard for Facebook/Meta? I've tried telling friends and family so damn often but they just don't care.
It's like giving someone you pass on the street your ID, walking away and thinking "man, I can't believe that guy has my ID". I'm with you if they really don't know, I'm sure many don't. But so many know fully well and just don't care.
If you ask me both are to blame. Meta is only in a position where they get away with this stuff because people are practically encouraging it.
