It is not, as government agencies are not for profit profit organisations de iure. On top of that it’s violating law, and debfacto stealing from both the citizen and potentially from the state itself. You can’t just throw ‘capitalism bad’ on any observation of shitty socio-economic behaviour.

That’s not business, that’s corruption. They’re not generating any added value like business does, they’re parasiting on it.

There was never really a single game. First game: Grand Prix on Atari 2600 Then The Settlers, Desert Strike, Another World and Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 on Amiga. Age of Empires 2, GTA, Stronghold, SHOGO, Morrowind, BG2 on PC After these titles I can try just about anything. That made me consider really wide variety of genres, styles and publishing formats (from indie to AAA).

My family lost everything in a flood when I was 8. My parents lower working class. I left home/moved 1st time at 18. I had nothing to inherit and nothing to lose. The ticket was 3$. While textbooks were not free, attending school was. I accept excuses from people that got caught in a natural disaster or a war only.

I moved 4 times, over 1k kilometers total for work, while all my peers where sitting on their asses and crying that there’s no future in the shithole we were born in. I do not have sympathy for such people. So answering your question: first: I don’t care. If you have two hands there’s nothing justifying you. Second: If you brake the law, you face the consequences.

Can’t imagine working without PyCharm Pro. Some may say I’m a shitty dev, but it just makes thing so much easier for a lone developer.

I’m ok with paying taxes for universal healthcare and infrastructure. Welfare for anyone who isn’t mentally/phisically disabled (on various levels) can go to hell. No unemployment benefits, no state-funded child support.

Seep paralisys is helluva thing. I’ve experienced lots of freaky stuff with it. Some of these include early 1900s looking shadowy figures walking through my room as if it would be a train station. Or a huge, black creature with very long claws (kinda like slender version of fallout’s Deathclaw) standing over me not letting me sleep (interestingly, I could see through both mine and its eyes. My first TPP experience) or just shadow black figures standing there at the end of my bed.

Only place where I’m not using Firefox exclusively is mobile, where I also use Brave to watch youtube. Please make uBO for Firefox mobile happen.

Same goes for local authorities. Munich even had its own Linux distro, then M$ opened a big office in the city and suddenly whole FOSS project was abandoned and everything runs on Windows.

I get these almost every time when behind mullvad.

Oh man, literally me. Stopped playing Fallout: BoS standing with the nuke in front of vault door. Didn’t learn the finale until years later when I watched it on YouTube. I just always assumed I just don’t want the story to end.

I gave up on Airbnb after the hosts cancelling the booking with my guests halfway there. Just booked a hotel and never looked back since then. To all the Airbnb hosts: professionals have standards.

In many chain hotels it’s just like 15€ per night fee.

FTL. Theme song triggers ptsd in my wife.

Scabs, dregs… its like I’m in Warhammer 40k. You guys play Darktide? If not: a question from non-native speaker: are scabs and dregs a, more or less, common expression/term in English? I’m just trying to escape the trap when you notice something, you start seeing it all around.

As much as i love driving my tanks, I couldn’t handle the wot gameplay. I just realised I get stressed instead of satisfied. Switched to PvE games, much better.

My favourite part was AMAs by scientists and authors or even ppl like Gov Schwarzenegger. I hope fediverse develops to that point one day.

As much as I’m interested in crypto I hate the bizarre idea of nfts. I’m glad they all but died out already.

My favourite is:

● Sound card: sure, why not.
