As a man who was descending to a dark place when I was a teen, I can say this with confidence:

This kind of content, like CP or r*pe-y stuff, even if clearly not real and only a fantasy, feeds these desires, and makes them grow. In time, if you continue to foster it, they will bleed into real life, and then it becomes a real problem. That’s why this kind of stuff is scary.

Thankfully, I was able to spot this pattern before it became a problem, that is a dangerous slippery slope

I’ve used Zorin for a time, it is really good

I tried DDG and Brave Search. Currently I’m using Brave Search, but it really annoys me that more often than not I have to fallback to Google to find what I want

Afaik, Quintessence in medieval alchemy was a very pure alcohol (although they believed that by distilling it many times, they were in fact isolating this pure, heavenly element), so not something that can be put in the periodic table.

I can confirm, it works just fine on brave search. I set the time limit to yesterday and it still gave me results

I run ulit on every new terminal. I tried doing it with neofetch at first, but it added too much startup time, that’s how I discovered fastfetch

Took me a while to figure out that it’s only the USA, I was trying to understand where’s the other countries

this art is annoying to look at

I don’t know, I find it to be kind of hot

Totally agree. The content may be good, but title and thumbnail are marketing only. A silly thumbnail doesn’t make the content worse, so nothing wrong in the creator trying to use it as a way to increase their reach

“I an Lithuanian”

I can’t read fsck as anything other than “fs check”

Protestants, maybe. Protestantism is a wide group, some against birth control (like Adventists), some don’t

Birth control was always prohibited im Christianity (at least Catholics, the ones I know the most about), from condom to pills to IUD, this won’t change it.

Any christian that is against one kind of birth control but in ok with other is just freestyling dogmas

I think people here are misunderstanding reality evaluation with judgement of value.

Every time you sign up for something without understanding what it is exactly, they are setting themselves up for failure. This doesn’t mean that the company is right, or what they are doing is fair and just. Microsoft is clearly morally dubious, but they did technically get you agreement with it. The one who signed up is wrong, not in valuing privacy, but in expecting, even for a single moment, that a corporation would have their best interest in mind. They only have revenue growth in mind, and that’s bu the very nature of how their business is organized.

That’s why zero trust systems are important, and FOSS is a way of getting it. Being open source allows for anyone with enough technical knowledge to audit every part of the system, so you don’t need to trust a businessman

Your point of view makes sense. In my opinion though, when you agree without reading the terms, you’re basically saying “you’re allowed to do whatever you want”

You are consenting, not with this or that, but with anything regarding that product, probably because you trust the company, or you don’t care enough

I know nothing about the topic, but I like funny images

Users explicitly and willingly click on “I agree” to the Terms and Conditions. It might be undesirable, but it is consented
