People with careers are getting cancelled because of their opinions published online. Nudging people to identify themselves online is inviting them to dig a grave
Can’t you sideload applications like a hacker?
Servants or assistants might not provide you with the kind of connection that you long.
Or they could, if they care about you, respectfully attend to your needs and listen to you.
>Loneliness is the state of distress or discomfort that results when one perceives a gap between one’s desires for social connection and actual experiences of it. Even some people who are surrounded by others throughout the day—or are in a long-lasting marriage—still experience a deep and pervasive loneliness.

“for a better home” that’s a bold assumption, though
8 GB max of RAM is a software limitation not present in the more expensive tier. I suspect it is not a technical limitation, just greed.
Parallels is an overpriced rubbish with stupid limitations. I’m switching to WMWare or VMWare as of right now
HDMI port? That’ll be $500. Cash or card?
It’s pre-recorded so they don’t have to censor the audience’s boo

removable batteries was to allowed the laptop to run without a battery pack for as long as needed
I don’t get why software needs a blank check to report and constantly send surveillance about you
The military budget both in absolute and relative terms is ludicrous.
The nations with a more irresponsible budget than the US are mostly state-terror organisations. Which doesn’t mean that the US isn’t one
Ditch credit cards, save money
and none of those were funded by Britain in 1948 on foreign soil
GrapheneOS has profiles, maybe that's the key. Google refuses to sell me a Pixel, though and I got tired
>I had to give up any passwords to my devices. It was a criminal offence not to do this.
It is a real atrocity that most devices are unable to lie for us when a wrong password is typed and create a mock profile to waste time
Victims are getting scanned twice. I always book hotels by phone without providing bank details because you can’t be charged for a service you finally don’t use, like airlines are doing
Freshly printed money goes directly into the pockets of the mega-rich
In alternativeto.net you can find FOSS alternatives for Aldente
