Microsoft offers a long-term support version of Windows called LTSC that's stripped down, only receives security updates, and is supported for 10 years from its release.

It's only officially available to business clients, but with a little yar har fiddeldy dee, you too can experience extended support!

It used to be a much more significant decline, it seems to have leveled off mostly at 45k, so those who are left are pretty dedicated. I'm sure we'll get another influx if Reddit messes up badly again.

I had a chuckle imagining your multiple wives at checkout (after having purchased yet more wives) and one tugs at your shirt and asks "honey, will we make it back to the car?"

You respond with a grave look "Some of you, yes. But with my hands full, I can't make any guarantees. You know that." Before stepping outside into the parking lot of a mad max-like world.

I only lived in a walkable city for a few months where I didn't have access to a car, and it was glorious to be able to walk to the grocery store.

But if I was going to the store, I always brought my backpack filled with some reusable bags, since without my backpack I'd be reducing my carrying capacity significantly. It's difficult for me to imagine forgetting to bring my backpack, since I'd have so much time to notice it not being on me on the walk to the store.

With a car it's easier to forget the bags, since they could be out of sight in the trunk, and it's easy not to think about them on the way since driving takes up your focus and attention. But that's just been my experience.

I do like the idea of stores accepting used bags to re-sell (or perhaps a take-a-bag leave-a-bag rack too?) For those who do not have a car and are more forgetful than I.

I'm confused why they keep buying more reusable bags when they forget to bring some. if I forget them, I usually just put the groceries in the cart unbagged and bring em out to the car, where I usually have the bags and can procede to bag, or if I truly have no bags, just put the groceries in the car bagless.

As a second option, my state eliminated plastic grocery bags at checkout, and instead offer paper bags for 10 or 15 cents a bag, which seems like a good option for those who forget sometimes.

Didn't even think of that. Absolute gem of a game too.

Perhaps Privacyguides.org, but I'm not aware of a replacement for the exhausting level of detail and breadth which thatoneprivacysite once provided.

Disco Elysium is pretty heavily socialist, and is hailed for having great writing.

When new information counter to their beliefs is presented, it only further entrenches their beliefs.

They are a cult, as described in when prophecy fails.

Bear in mind that info hasn't been updated since 2019, when the OG thatoneprivacysite sold out to a shady company. The .xyz site is an old backup someone put up of the site before it changed to only recommend a handful of bad VPNs.

I can only assume the english translations are licensed differently? Are you able to watch documentaries from the German DW channel, DW Doku? Unfortunately I don't see the baobab documentary there. :(

 

I changed the title to be a little less clickbaity.

I debated posting this, since, while it says guerilla urbanizing is useful, there are expensive solutions to making cities more friendly to public transit and bicycles that simply require the city itself getting onboard with to fix, and the solution he proposes is to become more involved in your local city council, which on the face of it doesn't sound super Anarchist.

I believe Murray Bookchin advocated for something along these lines, and that got him a lot of flak from the Anarchist community at in the 80's, Though I'm struggling to find where he said that now (please post it if you happen to know!),

I'd like to know your thoughts on the proposal in the video. It does seem like since so few people participate in these areas, it would be possible to overwhelm the NIMBY's if you got enough people involved in your local city council, or ran in local elections for positions that could influence your city's urbanization.
