Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some common things people buy that you would never buy?
3·2 days agoYeah me neither. I found a charity that refurbished oldish desktops for students and pensioners, for around $35 USD. It was a 2017 lenovo with 8gb ddr4, decent inbuilt graphics, and it came with a monitor, screen, keyboard and mouse. I just put linuxmint on it, and it is working well for some low end games

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Out of ten, how would you rate your ability to empathize with people with opposing viewpoints?
1·2 days agoOne time I had a conversation with a friend who said they would vote for Trump. We don’t even live in America, I asked him why and he said “well he seems more honest and real.” Other times I try and talk to Zionists, and the genuine hatred for Palestinian people is insane, and intolerable, and they got loud and angry when I made reasonable, good points.
Out of 10, if they don’t get angry and loud, like a 6 on average, if they are just uneducated, like an 8?

10·3 days agoAny paid subscription which doesn’t either
a) Save me money, eg Amazon prime (although someone else in my family has Prime so if I need something from Amazon I just use their account) b) Do something I can’t setup myself
And especially no subscriptions which give me the licenses to digital media, without hardware, eg xbox or netlfix

42·3 days agoYes, buy a secondhand google pixel, it’s better for privacy/security etc with grapheneOS installed. But if you like apple hardware, nothing wrong with a secondhand iphone

4·3 days agoI get the stocks one totally, I try and boycott companies/countries/policies I don’t like by investing my money in certain ways, but stocks generally are necessary to stop you from losing money to inflation

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you brush your teeth in the shower or the sink?
1·4 days agoPersonally I brush my teeth in the shower after pewiepie mentioned it one time. A bad habit from trying one time.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Linux QT apps/packages for YouTube alternatives?
1·4 days agoGrayJay is a youtube, twitch, peertube etc frontend that has subscription syncing across platforms! Although it’s buggy on MacOS, and I don’t trust it’s privacy as much as freetube/newpipe, it’s a good compromise for some convenience.

But have humans have never had a non-hierarchical large scaled society?
