To boil it down for you:

I can do a lot, but I can't do everything. I'm reserving what I can do to stuff where I can make the largest impact.

Thanks to voters like you for Brexit then I guess.

Sure we're all stupid, but I'm putting my money and energy into what I want to make better, rather than worse. Sometimes that drive to do better comes from spite.

I vote and tell others to online here and in real life, I attend city council meetings for the stuff I care about (transit), I go out and meet the poor and suffering where they are and donate to my local food bank. When I boycot something I stick to it. When a platform turns too shitty I find ways to get away from it (Lemmy), or at least get it to arms length (Matrix/Beeper).

Issue is, there's only so many things that I can be not complacent about. The Gaza war is terrible and I talk about it often, yet it's just a situation I can't see a way I can convince the US to hold Israel to account no matter what I do. Rents, affordability, climate, there's stuff I care about but when I am back from my full time job there's just no more room to think about how the world is fucked 10 ways from Sunday, and my mental health is better for not focusing on things I can't fix.

A lot of people are shocked and outraged about each. Look at the protests and encampments around universities. Similar to people having a finite amount they can donate, they have a finite amount of energy and focus to pay attention to and change.

One group making up bullshit reasons to kill another isn't going to stop with Ukraine, Gaza, Xinjiang, etc. Even if there were major interventions and a global cooperative effort to ease those specific tensions.

My fight is focused on improving transit for everyone, keeping this planet from warming up too much, and keeping rich people from siphoning up every bit of liberty we have left.

Announce large workforce cuts: line go up?

Announce large investment in workforce (even if it was just cut): line go up more?

I don't really get the logic that's going on the impulsive billionaire imbecile's mind.

Everyone being rehired to Tesla had better be asking for at least double for the trouble Musk put them through.

The open-source solution is affixing your credit card (or an "additional cardholder" card) to the back of your phone.

Google Pay, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay are the ones I know of. My bank's app used to be able to do mobile payments but they stopped unfortunately. Banks bristle at the fact there could be open source solutions to anything in the financial sector, it could take away from their upcharging and parasitism.

As others have said, I'd suggest either:

• enabling a catchall address (which will redirect to [email protected] --> [email protected])
• creating an alias: [email protected] --> [email protected]

Both are done on your server/hosting side.

User blocking of instances became possible in Lemmy v. 0.19, last December, fyi.

Thanks :)

Yeah I don't use prime video but as soon as I saw they were going to add ads, that opens the door for them to make their app shitty as hell.

Unfortunately I'm only rich in memes.

How about 1 month of Lemmy Premium?
