Seems a little redundant when the article we’re all commenting on does precisely that.

It’s okay, you don’t have to be that animal, I was asking for myself.

Which animal embodies, “the concept of success is a capitalist mindset that keeps you buying things you don’t need and comparing yourself to others, which robs you of contentment and some happiness”?

Kind of. His target was James VI/I, who seeded the Troubles in Ireland, burned Catholics at the stake, dissolved parliament, and more.

Fawkes was Christian and was a terrorist by conventional measures, and the Catholic monarchs prior were also brutal, but we should be careful not to apotheosise James.

I eyeballed an edit, because the horizon line and lack of squareness bothered me:

Continued the survival of the species, so now I have to sit in meetings and press buttons all day. Thanks for nothing, protopeople.

I’d love to know if my enormous blocklist of instances and communities is unusual or if most people end up curating their global feeds massively to keep them interesting. Anime, porn, US-specific politics, authoritarian-friendly politics, furries, wojak-style barrel-scraping memes - I don’t want to downvote most of these just because they’re not my bag, but I suspect I end up with a tiny fraction of the total Lemmy+Piefed content.

Also addressed in the video! Neither I nor the video creator has any stake in what you choose to do, and I’d prefer not to rehash the whole video for you since it’s right there for you to watch if you’re interested in this topic, but the main points were generally about reducing subscription costs and gaining better control of content (e.g. no surprise removals of music, videos, and ebooks).

Persist with the video! The text-to-speech is only for a couple of quick screens - the rest is very personal, and they cover a bunch of use cases.

If you really don’t want to, the server OS they recommend around two-thirds of the way through is YunoHost, a beginner-friendly way to run services as containers on any capable spare computer. The YunoHost website has a bunch of use cases that are also covered in the video.

Their LinkTree does link to a merch store, but no bat comic merch, indeed.
