That’s an interesting thought excercise.

I’m not sure patriarchy has much to do with biology, I think it was just luck of the draw.

I thought it was a play on those sigma male grindset bs tips to become a millionaire, if you enjoy life you’re doing it wrong

I thought the exact same thing. As far as disney princess’ go, she’s pretty cool.

Why is it either or? I can see a world where computer enthusiasts tend to be a bit more physically inactive than the median

I feel like the idea that women are otherworldly creatures instead of people and seeing someone being nice to their partner as “the man having tamed a female and convinced her to treat him well” has a lot to do with his problem.

I hate how much that is preserved socially, there’s no good reason why that hasn’t gone away at least a decade or two ago.

Dafuq is this meme? civilians are civilians, regardless of the country religion or whatever the duck they’re born in.

I support this point of view, but at the same time I want the status quo to be disrupted and the internet to change, I’m not a fan of allowing corporations to fall into complacency when they hold so much power.

That’s amazing and encouraging, I want to hear more stories like this because when my kid grows up I plan on trying to guide him into not being tech illiterate, so far my plan is (more or less, but not exactly) to start him with a crappy but usable computer and give him upgrades he has to work for or tinker for, I feel like I learned the most by trying to squeeze performance and usability out of outdated hardware.

I don’t intend to make him have my passion for computers, my intention is that he’ll have the initiative to Google problems and the curiosity to solve them when it’s not that easy, just having those two can get you 80%-90% there.

I’m pretty sure that’s either dorcelessness or teluge

It flows

I switched to duckduckgo a while back when I got tired of Google being a shitty search engine.

This one may not be so obvious, but I’ve seen someone lose their marbles over the crazy idea that they get recommended stuff for children when all they watch on YouTube is Minecraft videos and sometimes Roblox. And people in the comments agreed…

The YouTube subreddit wasn’t full of bright people.

Get a tank printer, you can’t DRM liquid (afaik). I have an hp one with tiny tanks, I refill once a year and the branded bottles aren’t too expensive, but you can use generic inks, though I’ve read about people with the same printer having problems with the viscosity of generic inks, so you still need quality ink.

A downside is I have to print something every now and then to keep it from clogging (a month or two).

I don’t necessarily recommend my specific model, but at least that type of printer, I’ve found it’s been great. Software is kinda shit like any printer but I have Linux on my desktop so it doesn’t really matter, shitty proprietary software is only needed for Windows (I have zero experience with Mac)
