@dwarf@borg.social What's a Bluesky?

@pipivovott@post.ebin.club @hj@shigusegubu.club You've always had the option to use actually free stuff, such as #mumble, but people clearly care not about things actually being free. They just want a fancy shell and pay no money. No matter how often the company fucks them over, they won't care because having to expend effort is apparently the work of Satan himself.

I'm shitting on them because they're pretty pathetic people, continuing to unconditionally support those who are fucking them over every chance they get. And they never care to learn.

@pipivovott@post.ebin.club @hj@shigusegubu.club Imagine doing free work for a proprietary company, and then they fuck you over.

And you still support said company...

@thor@berserker.town @thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club @icedquinn@blob.cat We've had some initiatives to sell the "ugly" veggies for cheap here, and I used to always buy those when I could. But after I moved, I couldn't find any stores nearby doing this, so now I am occasionally required to buy individually plastic wrapped veggies even though it's fucking stupid to package them in the first place.

@thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club @icedquinn@blob.cat @thor@berserker.town Americans shooting themselves in the foot over and over is kind of the norm, though. It would be more amusing if it didn't cause so much shit all across the rest of the world.

@icedquinn@blob.cat @thor@berserker.town iirc correctly, they are required by law to "clean" the eggs, and this cleaning process makes the shell porous, allowing the egg inside to become a breeding grounds for all sorts of bacteria, including salmonella.

@icedquinn@blob.cat @Hyolobrika@gleasonator.com At the very least, get upset that this is allowed to happen.

I know it's a long stretch, but just a little reconsideration on the idea that the media might have a certain agenda at times could go a long way as well.

@cjd@pkteerium.xyz You could also not use a inherently expensive and badly-designed cryptoscams.

@cjd@pkteerium.xyz Any currency backed by gold.

@cjd@pkteerium.xyz #Bitcoin's only impressive monetary property is how unregulated it is, with all the downsides you can imagine.

Bitcoin transfers are all but cheap, it's possibly the least efficient means of handling currency we've ever known. The existing fiat currency systems are bad, but they're nowhere near as horrid when it comes to efficiency as Bitcoin.

As for currency exchanges, yes, it does happen frequently that cryptocurrency exchanges fail in comically astronomical ways. I guess that's what you get in an unregulated system which promotes heavy abuse of everything you can get for a scrap of money.
