I'm not participating in any agenda

If my agenda is for you to not participate in the vote, then by abstaining you end up participating in my agenda whether you want to or not. If I can disappoint you to the point of not bothering the next time, then that's 1 less person affecting the outcome of the vote, making it incrementally easier to forecast and manipulate the results.

I'm basically anti-political now, it's [conservatives' and progressives'] world, not mine.

Others have said it better than I, but I worry this just plays into the hands of authoritarians who rely on apathy such as this to seize more power. I implore you to find your own terms on which you can engage with politics, but do (re) engage with them.

Just because some of us stop paying attention to "politics" doesn't mean politicians lose any power - it generally goes the other way.

Having never played a battlefield game, having last played COD when MW2 released: good! Not every game in the same genre needs to play the same way, and I suspect it's healthier this way for the "soldier shooter" genre to propose different kinds of experiences.

Sure, but again these aren't exclusive. Dimming your phone screen takes 3 seconds of tap-and-drag on most versions of android and iOS, it's hardly an effort, let alone a sacrifice. In no way does it prevent you from doing more/other things as well.

Sure, it's not a lot of power, but how is not using your phone burning a dime to save a penny?

Not who you're asking, but I assume you find either an instance that is slow to federate, or one that doesn't honor deletion requests.

Haven't gotten through the entire protocol description yet, but so far it seems closer to DMs on a social network than digital letters.

Neat, but maybe we should just do email-over-activitypub then...

I'm not sure if you explicitly want an RFC-style description (i.e. follows https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2119 for MUST vs SHOULD vs etc) or if you are using RFC as a colloquial term for the technical details of the protocol.

In case of the latter, the "protocol" link at the top resolves to this GitHub repo: https://github.com/Open-Email/MailHTTPS-Protocol

Dimming your phone screen's brightness saves a ton more energy than cutting off wifi, especially the newer the phone is.

So, in a way, they're not wrong about "screen time" just wrong about almost everything else.

Damn, thanks for linking that report. I have appreciated devault's work for almost a decade, this is a good reminder that just because someone's public actions align with my values does not automatically mean they are infallible nor should they be canonized.

Recent research paper that I assume this is based off of: https://arxiv.org/html/2507.12869v1

Same, it's impressive how much it irks people.

My own hasty judgement is that [those upset] only speak English, have a prescriptivist take on language (albeit unconsciously), and have no idea how damaging hegemony and uniformity for their own sake can be.

Also they're lazy and would rather shame someone than take on a little bit of discomfort to adapt to them.

I guess that makes it "judgements", plural.
