I want to ask why I should consider that but then I realize this must be your most specific hobby and I'm afraid of the answer

I went through the ISOs myself rather than going to a technician and paying for the service + the OS

pro tip

I'm not in the US

even if I was it's my right to find political debate in the internet something not worth getting into

How do you find communities for this thing? I only hit a lot of erotica and japanese-chinese groups.

Also, a lot of poetry/music. Unfortunately the spirit gets a bit lot in translation. I'm of the popular opinion that romance languages are the best for them, but the unpopular one that french sucks to hear and brazilian portuguese-spanish-italian are so much better.

As for books, Senhora. It's about a rich woman who "buys" a man in a marriage contract and makes him jump loops as her whims. Written in 1875, 50+ years before women could even vote.

The tomboy phase, mom. I'm a fucking man now.

A cheap pendrive I already used to install four ISOs, two of them pirated.

It sounds very good not to have any Unemployed people, but the more you think about it the more dystopian it gets.

Wireless headphones. The original goal was working out and I didn't want to carry my cellphone on the hand. I never went to work out, but it turns out to be very convenient when my neighbors are being loud, since it has noise cancelling, and also for chores.

Also, some better clothes. For context, I'm FtM. My sister and mother are vain and buy chic clothes like every month, so I always had a surplus of hand-me-downs. I didn't want to buy more clothes because I already have perfectly serviceable unisex clothes on my closet, but when I donated out all my feminine-cut clothes and shoes I found myself lacking clothes so, yeah, I went and bought the stupid clothes. I fucking love them and wear them on every opportunity I get. They make me feel so much better :)

Honestly I still discuss online but it's very rare. Mostly with teenagers since they are usually more open.

There is a problem of even where to confront with reason. Most of the time you hinder more than you help on mainstream social media, because more comments on a post will boost it on the algorithm and distribute the original poster's message further while they remain wilfully ignorant.

I did that for years. Many years. It burned me out and made me much more of a thin-skinned and intolerant person with those around me in real life.

I love places where they willingly come to redeem themselves (like r/IncelExit) but otherwise I just stray very, very far. It took a heavy toll on my mind.

It is a noble thing but one that shouldn't be required of most users.

Help me with an email provider! (lemmy.nerdcore.social)

Hello, I've been looking into email providers. I'm not an activist, just a regular user concerned over privacy.

I used CTemplar in the past until it shut down. Had a cockli email and although it isn't Google the privacy isn't stellar either. I tried to get into Proton, but being unable to use Thunderbird on he free plan was a massive turn-off for me since I like switching easily between different accounts.

After a bit of searching the following came across for me as the best services: [free] Autistici, PARANOID, Disroot. [paid] Posteo, Elude.

Assuming I theoretically got invites for all the free services (they're all reliant on manual approvation), which one would you recommend?

@edit: After reading a bit on the free services, I decided that I will choose them in a Disroot > Autisci > PARANOID order of priority,

This is so awful it's funny. You've truly mastered the spirit of a dad joke.
