This is the way.

Of course there’s no easy answers, but your post reminded me of the following:

Hannah Arendt’s essay ‘On Violence’. Power stems from people collectively working towards change, strength etc. is violence. Anarchism requires a collective desire which is anti-coercion and anti-violence. Arendt was partly inspired by Rosa Luxemburg’s views on spontaneous revolution.

Graeber’s ‘Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology’ and le Guin’s fictional novel ‘The Dispossessed’ give some insight into what is required for maintaining anarchist ways of organizing. In brief: you leave, divorce yourself from oppressive systems and start over elsewhere.

Which is of course difficult if not impossible on a planet which has been near entirely colonized. Somewhat more philosophical, anarchism requires the dissolution of notions of property. Agamben writes on monastic forms of life, which seem rather anarchist to me, in ‘The Highest Poverty’. Graeber and Wengrow mention the ‘sacredness’ of objects in ‘The Dawn of Everything’, which is a terribly deep anthropological and philosophical rabbit hole, but there’s some interesting connections between sacred objects and possession.

All books mentioned are worth the read of course, imo.

I played like 2 games, Stray and Fran Bow. Fran Bow was fantastic.

‘The Women’, about women in the Vietnamese war or something.

Straighten your damn horizon ffs.

“Yes, we could be paying our drivers an extra 5 dollars, we just choose not to, lol.”

And those girls at the party in Harold & Kumar 2.

To counter some of the other comments, them being based in Panama is a huge plus imo, if you’re inclined to do things deemed illegal by local authorities. They have no incentive to comply with government issued search warrants or the like. Most western country-based companies are legally obligated to comply with those requests, or even store information for a number of years. With quantum-based decryption there’s no saying how long even encrypted data will be safe.

Yeah the moment Proton developed a password manager I switched. Very convenient and the price ain’t bad if you use all their services.

I had the same thought watching the movie.

You can also just block element with uBlock to get rid of it, no need for an additional extension.

Nah, watches are for timekeeping, everything else may live in my phone so I can easily place it out of reach and ignore it.

Just forget about rectangles altogether, circular video is where it’s at!

Yeah, the rage seems to usually stem from two misunderstandings:

1. It forces you to use Bluetooth headphones.
2. A 3.5mm jack is cheap and trivial to build into a phone, so there’s little or no reason to not include it.

You already pointed out why neither of those are legitimate reasons. For 1 you just need a simple dongle, not new headphones. For 2, because the Fairphone is modular and repairable, it’s not just the 3.5mm jack but also a custom replaceable daughterboard they’d have to develop and keep in stock.

Not having a 3.5mm jack is a minor inconvenience at most, I don’t get the rage either.

Proton includes cloud storage and recently started supporting automatic backup of pictures on your phone.

Isn’t rayon just cellulose? Maybe it’s just labeled differently.

Or, here’s a crazy idea, for the one week each year where you actually need the range you rent a Honda Civic and leave your EV at home.

This idea that nobody on the internet is willing to pay for anything is outdated. Most people know that if it’s not money, they’re paying in data, time and/or attention. I much prefer paying with money, as do most people that use Proton, Kagi and other paid alternatives to free Google products.
