Vendors concerned about the long term outlook are generally discouraged by the possible jailtime. The ones we are left with tend to not give a shit about tomorrow.

I'm not going to go as far as blaming some corporation for my shitty life, but some nuance is in order. Some people are just more prone to certain types of addictions compared to others. In some cases, we KNOW for a fact it's genetics. In others we can only suspect.
Personally, I've won the lottery nicotine-wise. I could smoke a cigarette one day and not have another for months or years. But put a good cheesecake in front of me and I'll eat until I'm physically not able to continue.
Perfect. Now we're gatekeeping diseases. It's not like the obesity is one of the greatest killers of our generation. Co-OpTeD bY tHe MaRkEt !1
I was under the impression that attenuated live vaccines are only used in poor countries due to lower cost.
One could argue the vests are like seat belts in a car. You don't need them 99.9% of the time.
The Lust series is pretty good. It's a horror game similar to Amnesia or Penumbra, except you're infiltrating a sex cult.

edit: ... and yes, after I bought these, steam has bombarded me with the most ridiculous erotic game suggestions for months!
It's just that I rarely see a real person be so confidently wrong.
We've already established that language models just make shit up. There is no need to demonstrate. Bad bot!
I host 2 ejabberd servers. One casual, federated, the other one standalone, for work.
- Conversations is a decent android client that supports modern XMPP standards
- Dino on the desktop. It just happen to support the same subset of standards as Conversations, so they work pretty well together.
For Mastodon, I'm using an Akkoma instance hosted by a frind of mine
- Tusky works pretty well with it. There were certain annoying bugs when I combined the official Mastodon app with Akkoma.
Every once in a while I try Matrix, but each time I try to log in, Synapse is is fucked in a different way. I have to scrap it up and start from the ground up some day.
- Only the element based clients so far, because every alternative lack certain features.
I'm a big fan of Nostr, because of one particular feature - You control your identity without having to selfhost a server. The network seems to be occupied by the christian-carnivore-bitcoin-conservatives so far, therefor it's pretty bland when it comes to content.
- Amethyst on Android
- Gossip on the desktop. This one requires a certain knowledge of the protocol. Each action needs to be manually triggered.
For some special use cases I have Signal, but most of the time, Telegram is the best the average person can do to meet me in the middle.
We hate the AI and proof of work, yet DEMAND someone to moderate our inboxes. For free.

That's not a slow laptop. I've been daily driving worse for years.
To protect the data from random thief just browsing through the files I still use ecryptfs. It only encrypts the home directory, and the keys are derived from my accounts password, so no extra hassle.
The encryption is weak by the current standards, and wouldn't stop a determined attacker, but it's 100% better than nothing, and I've never noticed any performance problems.
Disappointment? Only if you mean the person that came up with FoomaticRIP.
For those who did not read the entire thing, it's a so called "filter" that converts the document before it's sent to certain nasty types of printers. Except it's not executed on the print server. The unauthenticated print server can just ask a client to run it on their side. And it's designed to be able to execute ANY command.
