Android dev here. It does not require 20 gigs of RAM.

Why should different chat programs be used for different purposes?

The whole idea is to… chat.

I guess you’re the kind of guy who has multiple phones when 1 would work perfectly well.

Stop recommending closed-source, paid solutions. It makes you look like a shill.

Matrix is the only suitable replacement for discord, as it is the only federated replacement.

Yes, I’m just highlighting how the rhetoric has changed.

Why don’t you just make your own thread to talk about your specific case instead of trying to hijack my comments?

You clearly can’t understand the words being put in front of you, so why would I continue this discussion?

Goodbye.

Try looking at things on a case-by-case basis then life will start to make more sense.

After that, look into the concepts of “civil disobedience” and the “social contract.”

Come back when you’ve educated yourself more on the subject matter.

You’re part of the problem.

It’s sad watching people like you lower your standards even further just to make someone richer than you even richer.

What bar isn’t run by greedy shitbags?

I hate bar culture. Everyone who frequents bars complains about “needing” more money, then they spend it on $7 shots while the entire bottle is $11.

$4 beers (plus tip) when the entire case is $15.

Just another shining example of useful idiots being taken for a ride without even realizing it.

I totally agree.

It’s fun as a novelty. Not when it’s an excuse for the business to gouge you even harder.

Yes, useful idiots have been trying for decades to get people to shut up about abuse.

Glad some of us are smart enough to rise above that behavior.

Because waiting a few minutes longer for food isn’t the same as waiting 10+ minutes for a ride. People need to get places quickly.

Have you considered that the two businesses may be different? Guess what, electric companies do the same thing!

As it turns out, supplying electricity and taxi services are different than food service.

Because federal law isn’t always just.

Look at the war on drugs.

Civil disobedience is making a comeback, thanks in no small part to this illegitimate supreme court.

They don’t have any power, anyways. States do not have to obey supreme court rulings.

States don’t have to obey the supreme court.

The supreme court is a suggestion body more than anything else.

As soon as we stop taking them seriously, they stop having power.

Good idea.

That’s a pretty interesting scam.

I mean, I used to eat fast food before it became ridiculously expensive.

You have a point about that ‘comfort food’ thing. Some people are legit addicted to this stuff and will never admit they can’t afford it or it’s too expensive.

These are the people the businesses are banking on exploiting.

Bars are scams.

You can get an entire bottle of liquor for $11.

You can get an entire bottle of wine for $3.50.

The funny thing is, businesses already do this.

Prices for ‘digital goods’ tend to vary depending on the country the user is paying for them in.

It’s just another shining example of how businesses charge the most people are willing to pay, not the minimum to keep the lights on.

There’s a reason why the powers that be have been focusing on promoting businesses over people.

People have standards. People have pride. They can feel shame. Businesses can’t. There’s no one to blame when they lower their standards. They’re predictable and easy.

Pretty sure there’s a similar story with the Costco founder being the only thing keeping them from raising the price of their hot dogs.
