Pluralistic: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing"
  • Biggest personal examples are Minecraft and FL Studio. I asked my parents to buy Minecraft for me after a week of pirating it, and I bought an FL Studio license when I could afford to, nearly a decade after I first used it. I don't use it much, but it felt right.

  • Chinese Boarding Schools and the Indoctrination of a Generation
  • "teach them Chinese because they live in china"

    1. Chinese isn't a language

    2. Oh, let's just go and force all Indians to speak Hindi, I'm sure the entire south of the country would be okay with giving up their mother tongues for Hindi.

    This "one language, one country" thing is deranged white thought

  • Well that was great. Let's see what people on the internet think!
  • Not a movie, but for me this is Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2. The music, locations, voice acting and UI (visual and audio) are fantastic, while the gameplay and story were okay enough to not drag it all down. I still listen to the soundtrack and think about how smooth the menus were.

    Meanwhile to the FF fandom these games are Satan shitting down your neck

  • Immune to marketing
  • I can't say if I'm autistic or not but I hate reading news from sources I know to be untrustworthy because I still find myself thinking "this sounds correct" until I finish reading and remember it's 99% bs

  • there goes another afternoon
  • I installed Ubuntu on my desktop I wasn't using for a while, then had to wipe it again a couple hours later after I seemingly bricked my OS installing a package necessary to run AppImages, except it uninstalled some pretty critical shit

  • Why does lemmy make me have to make these images so pixilated
  • Yep. I installed Linux on my desktop. Worked great until I let it go to sleep, and it refused to connect back to my monitor. Then when I restarted it, it wouldn't get past some terminal "can't find video mode" screen or some shit

    I'm going to have to spend a couple hours at least today after work to sort it out.
