The universe growing souls like flowers, or something

I don't believe in a soul that's separate from the body, or that lives on afterward. But the way that "inanimate" matter can spin up thoughts and feelings and a consistent personal experience that can last for decades... It's almost fair to call that thing a soul. It's fair to talk about nurturing your soul and growing a soul.

Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder.

I also pay content creators for a ton of podcasts and stuff like that.

I forgot about them. I didn't know they were FOSS. Is F-Droid primarily for nerds and programmers? Or do normies also use it? I stopped working on Android apps because I don't want my hobby to be subjected to the whims of Google's acceptance criteria. But maybe I could publish to F-Droid instead.

What kind of FOSS software can you get for your android?

At this point I only pirate media that I can't find through legit means. I think it's honestly hilarious that they don't just make every movie or album available to purchase and download without DRM, since that would be the best way to combat piracy.

I pay for what I can, but I'm also a big Linux user who loves FOSS software. Adobe can get bent. I use Gimp, Krita, and Audacity/Tenacity.

Microsoft can also get bent.

They seem more node.js-friendly than other hosts I've tried. I might have to take the plunge.

Maybe I should figure out DO. I disregarded then because I didn't understand their droplets or whatever they're called.

I'm socially liberal and economically on the left (as in I like democracy, I accept capitalism, but I want a lot more socialist policies). Downtrodden people should be given assistance, but everyone else should be free to live out their power and ambition unless it gets in other people's way. I'm against most right wing political and social positions. But I'm even more against defederation and mass blocking. I don't want a safe space. There are too many things we need to process with conversation.

"Today's pirates are too mean!"

That's a great price for a vps. What host do you use?

I like the idea, but it makes modding a lot more work. I don't think it's feasible for every community to host an instance.
