“Here’s my angry, unpopular, barely coherent diatribe apropos of nothing about this large and diverse group of people definitely being angry and hostile.”

I wish they would put the official app on F-Droid. I use PixelDroid, but it’d still be nice to try.

before I ever install their unnecessary and untrustworthy data-miner

You’re about [current year minus year you installed Win10] years too late for that. That said, if you intend to come over to Linux, it’s probably best to set time-bounded goals for yourself instead of vaguely putting it off until MS does something that crosses some poorly defined line, else you risk having to chaotically abandon ship at the last minute and making the transition much harder.

And yet Amaze on F-Droid is probably a better product.

Chicken and fish might be an exception (although in the case of the latter, you’re destroying the world’s oceans via depletion and plastic pollution, and in the case of the former, you’re helping incubate what’s probably going to become another worldwide pandemic).

If you’re eating beef, you’re doing much more damage to the trees than reading books can ever realistically do.

And more expensive while you’re at it, thanks.

Nah, monopolies like Luxottica can suck shit (although there are plenty of brands not owned by them that you can just as easily buy). Doesn’t change that 3D-printed anything is made of cheap, relatively brittle material compared to easily affordable monel, titanium, and other metal frames. I can’t speak to the durability of plastics manufacturers use versus what you would use DIY, but the metals have to be much more durable, and they consistently look much nicer than the 3D-printed ones I’m seeing online. Also, unless OP’s are somehow way above the ones I’m seeing online in terms of quality, they’re probably more comfortable as well; you can cope all you want that you painstakingly designed it to the contours of your face as much as I can cope that the t-shirt I weaved out of corn husks is better than that mass-produced crap because I tailored it to the contours of my torso.

It’s cool, don’t get me wrong, but this seems like one of the last ways I would try to cut corners financially.

Also, given I wear these almost every waking hour of my life and I’ll be shit-out-of-luck if these break while I’m out and about, they’re one of the last things I’d want to cheap out this badly on. Assuming you aren’t getting high-end designer frames, you’ve saved $40–$60 at the cost of spending the next two years wearing a dinky piece of brittle, probably uncomfortable plastic on your face. Yay…?

Luigi did the unambiguously correct thing.

Lmfao, no clue why you’re being downvoted so much. It’s absolutely true that the camel-case here looks like a clusterfuck, even when it’s easily explained.

You recognize that Mastodon, the software, is developed by a non-profit called Mastodon gGmbH?

(Adjusting for inflation in the US, $550 in 2014 would be $730 today. Thus, approximately the 5070 Ti price.)

Fandom is gross anyway. Contributing to independent wikis is a much better use of your time. https://getindie.wiki/

“Confound your lousy toll, troll! hisssss”

I’m not sure what LGBTQ Nation is on about separating 10 people from 50, but the SCMP is pretty clear that dozens were arrested for publishing danmei. They do also mention that publishing erotic materials in general is prohibited, though.

I’ve been using Amaze for quite a long time and found it works well.

And specifically milkweed flowers for the monarchs if you’re in the US.

Who in their right mind would use this bootleg piece of shit when uBO exists?
