voted blue like a chump. At the time I thought it was just a meaningless red state vote but now i feel like it was than worthless, it was actively harmful... anything that legitimizes demonrats as a party is just feeding into the same mechanisms that let them snuff out any hope for change over the last 40 years

and even then they would still punish people like me for being too far left and not buying into third-way-ism so fuck em. fuck em all and never let anyone tell you otherwise

it's been said before but electoralism really is a fuck

The real question is how many people who sat out of the election will start voting for Democrats again.

good question, honestly after the biden administration i feel like their remaining goodwill is rapidly dwindling. Beyond being completely ineffectual to begin with theyre now an opposition party with zero power, so theyre worse than useless... people are really mad rn and theyre not doing anything, whether that's because they won't or can't doesn't really matter I think

in retrospect i think that was always going to be the case. can't reason with the great satan

will do my best to logout find an org and actually do something worthwhile

but damn if it isnt scary rn

and you are right the violence has always been here

 

the speed at which the US is falling apart is astounding

complete subversion of the organs of government by corporate forces

the almost immediate erasure of anything trans-related

families being ripped apart, people being deported and dehumanized in general

it feels like a prelude to the violence

the tech freak fascists have the reins now

the thiels, musks, and yarvins of the world get to see their vision carried out in amerikkka

the world burns

the cost of convenience

A forgone conclusion in retrospect. Particularly with a company like Apple who has a vested interested in no longer supporting 3.5mm alternatives to begin with. Companies want you in their ecosystem to keep selling you their products. Although simply not supporting it for cost related and technical reasons is also a factor i'm sure

cursed prediction: proprietary headphones get sound quality privileges on their manufacturer's devices... users pay a subscription fee for "compatibility" with non-proprietary headphones

 

yeah sure not having a wire is nice, but two generations of earbuds from my phones own manufacturer and both pairs i get regularly dogshit audio quality, and half the time one of the buds doesn't even work or produces barely any audio. There is no way to remedy this even after resetting the buds and the bluetooth connection. and you have to shell out 3x as much money for these things. also it's yet another device whose charge you have to keep track of

 

I really don't want to be on the mainstream internet as it exists today anymore. God it's such a time sink especially for someone with unmedicated ADHD, i lose entire days to webnovels/reddit(ugh)/youtube everytime i open one of them. even this post took me an entire day to write because I kept getting distracted. even hexbear sometimes can be bad for this but there's not as much content

how to i reduce browser usage? especially on phone, and maybe phone usage - i'm considering deleting my browser entirely but i'm concerned about whether i need to retain it for signing into things. But maybe this wouldn't be a problem if I delete as many apps as humanly possible and only use my phone for texts and calls

Reddit is also a very tricky one because of just how much information is on it these days (sidenote I actually fucking hate this, destroy reddit and bring back niche forums). I'm wondering if there's a way to handle this with ublock filters s.t. I can view posts individually but not subreddit feeds or the main page.

a more general question is - how do you throw off the shackles of the Algorithm
