    Don’t know the situation in america so what you say may be true, but on some countries (developing ones where the power of the state is diminished) water is not free for everybody else, but multinational corporations get almost unlimited use concessions for their bottlers for a laughably low fee if any, drying out the area and sometimes literally leaving towns or regions with no public water left for other uses, forcing the people to have to pay for other sources. I don’t live in a place in that situation yet, but some other regions in my country are going exactly through that. In some cases, those beverages are for the american market.


  • I wouldn’t use a complete macos theme with the logo and everything, but the mac design language does have some pretty nice details that even help usability.

    For example, I love the double outline that macos windows have, the normal darker line and another lighter inside. To me, it really separates windows when I am working with several, and they overlap (I use mac at work), in addition to looking nice and giving some depth. That’s just a little detail, but there are many like that one that is easy to see why someone could appreciate them.

    Obviously it varies from person to person, there’s also stuff that I don’t like, but I do can see why someone would use a theme like that.



  • I’m in the same situation. What has worked for me to make me engage more is the opposite, I subscribed to a bunch of smaller communities about my interests and then I feel more compelled to comment something on a post that I know about.

    Sometimes there’s not much conversation happening but at least I’m providing what I know or my opinion, and ‘rewarding’ the poster for providing interesting content, even if that has not much quantifiable value for them.

    I also switched my default feed to my subscriptions instead of All, that way I see less active posts instead of the super popular ones where everything has already been said hours ago.

    Im approaching the point of a new phone, and I’ve been wondering about what would be the equivalent of an iPhone durability-wise (I’m still seeing iPhones 7 being used daily) but for android. I was actually considering a used pixel but now you left me very confused lmao. It seems the good build quality is not a constant.




  • no clothes in his name

    uh? what does that mean? maybe that’s an ultrarich thing when your clothes are actually worth some amount? do people actually have some way of legal ownership of clothes other than ‘yeah I paid for them, no I don’t have any receipts but they are inside my house and nobody will claim otherwise therefore they are mine’?






  • Amazing how every single part of your comment is so wrong.

    It’s actually a really good analogy,

    Not an analogy, an example. Those two are different things.

    because it can only run on

    No, it can run on many things, including open source collaborative hardware that exists.

    fully-capitalist hardware.

    What the hell even is that? Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary. And now that a lot of effort is being made to get that production out of there, those efforts are being sponsored by public money to an incredible degree. Billions of dollars of taxes (you know, community resources) are being poured into that because big corporations are the biggest lovers of government handouts.
