My discord group had discussions about stopping discord use for weeks. I kept saying "if no one comes up with a better idea, I'll go back to IRC." The discussion didn't move anywhere, I told them that by the end of February, I'll go to IRC and delete my account. End of February came, I said "alright, IRC installed, I'll be at X network, I made a channel called Y, see you there." Then I deleted my account.

Three people followed me but they also stayed in discord. They tell me that everyone over there is surprised that I did what I told them for weeks that I would do lol.

But anyway, I've experienced this before. I left facebook in 2011, I lost contact with about 80% of the people I knew, because apparently calling, Whatsapp/SMS is not good enough. Then I left Whatsapp for Signal. I have 2 contacts there...

I've come to the conclusion that most people just don't care about privacy and big corporations controlling shit. I wont be a part of that silly bollocks.

I've found a bunch by accident when browsing online auctions, second hand etc websites

That and the fact that we have infinite stubbornness.

And thats why I keep accounts separate. I don't link anything to anything, I have different usernames on different services and whatnot. Even if someone somehow figures out my (now deleted) Discord and reddit usernames and starts spamming them to someone, I can just say "well thats not me lol" In that hypothetical scenario, I'd hope they people I spent time chatting with, would believe me and not the weirdo who started spamming someones reddit history.

But also, I don't care. I try to be myself all the time, so at worst, the creeps will just be spamming stuff that I normally do/say.

Buy a thing, it stops working, throw the thing away, buy a new thing.

Seems like nobody fixes shit anymore. And yes, I know, companies make things as unfixable as possible. But I'm a weirdo who would rather pay a lot to fix a thing than throw it into the ocean and buy a new thing.

In Finland we say "tulta munille!" - "fire at the balls!"

Well that's too bad.

Anyways.. Anyone have a suggestions what to have for dinner?

I was on Ubuntu for like 3 years, a few days ago switched to Debian. I installed Ubuntu because I thought it would "easy" and "just works" and all that. I'm not very computery person, I know some basics but I'm mostly confused about everything.

What I've learned from using Debian is I should have just gone for that from the beginning. Its not that different and somehow it feels nicer and more capable. If your Ubuntu keeps giving you grief, try Debian or whatever you think looks nice.

I vote for listening to full albums as well.

As a youngster I used to have a massive playlist, only my favorite songs on it... These days I only listen to full albums, bad/weak songs and all. Its so much better. I've realised that a lot of the "bad" songs that I didn't want to listen to as a youth, are not that bad actually.

I couldn't read any of that

Jolla?

Oh yeah I just read how AI keeps suggesting nuking everyone. That sounds like a great success. (I get what you mean, I just wanted to be a wiseass)
