  • Hope Valve comes up with something eventually

    That could be interesting. I want to see how SteamOS goes, but the potential is grand.

    In terms of the iPhone being locked down, I’m not sure what you’re looking to do but I personally managed to get ad-free Reddit, YouTube and YouTube music ad-free (+sponsorblock) just using apps from the App Store. All of them free or one-time payment of 3 euros. It was actually easier to do than with Android where I had to “sideload” stuff from GitHub since Android is owned by google and all frontends to their programs are banned.

    As long as you get yourself an email that isn’t iCloud you can also take all your contacts and email with you wherever you want. Then you can install KDE Connect as you would on Android and can send files freely between you phone and Pc.

    This is all to say, I don’t feel more locked down on the iPhone than on Android, which was a surprise for me.





  • despite him pretending to be a lefty tankie, hes part of the bourgeoisie

    I don’t understand this argument. Engels (& by extension Marx), Lenin, Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong of the ones I know of, all were part of the bourgeoisie. They could have just chosen to rest on their unearned laurels but instead chose to leave all that behind to try to uplift the working class, to varying degrees of success. Surely that deserves some merit?

    All known philosophers past present and future came from or lived in bubbles of privilege. Working class people don’t have the time or mental energy to philosophize and present our thoughts to hordes of people, we are too busy working.






  • All I see is a bureaucratic nightmare. No democracy to be seen, starting from the fact all politicians in the EU are bourgeoisie.

    Their servants are all unpaid interns who have a near zero chance of ever staying in Brussels. Those that don’t come from well-off families that can support them will never enter a single EU institution.
