i want my tech to look either like sci-fi or like magic
I do NOT want it to look like flat, artificial, rounded buttons

Fighting companies who play illegal games against us is nigh impossible.
Unless you have an oppositional nation fighting in your corner.
Ironically (from Western view) it may be China et al who frees us from the tyrannical anticompetitive grip of corporations like Microsoft, Apple, Meta & Google.
You don't actually need to be rich to live a good life.
You can just steal stuff from rich motherfucking hoarders
I envision a new uxui paradigm not too distant from the current, in which no fucking buttons fucking move any fucking where unless something is first pressed
I am SICK of tapping the screen only for whatever I was tapping on to have MOVED
Recently I've observed Windows Explorer hanging unrecoverably when I plug an old HDD in via USB.
Firstly, a faulty storage medium should *never* hang an OS, idc what excuses and explanations you have.

Proton Mail imports my Gmail and notifies me via the Android app yonks before the Gmail app manages to even think about it
To resolve things in this world, we *must* stop viewing them as separate.
Most big issues are underpinned by the same things as small issues.

Unexpected realisation of Friday:
When someone says they're sick, it's *always* true.
"don't fall for their tricks, they're trying to divide you"
idk fam, I'm pretty fine with dividing ourselves away from fascists and genocidaires

oh I pasted the npub and the note uris and they parsed into a single embedded post in nostrmo but in primal it says "mentioned event not found"
is it simply that primal can't display that type of note? that seems odd but may be so
