Or at least helps you strengthen your own views

I don't think that lemmygrad should appear automatically in the feed because of the strong political inclination without counterbalance, but I'm still glad there is a space for more niche areas because you often find some truth in alternative perspectives.

i dislike Spotify's monopolisation to such an extent that I spotify-dl'ed all my music and stopped my subscription.

the digital renmibi is not crypto, but that's indeed what i'm making reference to.

you truly are mistaken in calling crypto decentralised, for it follows the same chi-squared pattern of distribution we loathe true capitalism for. nonetheless, i appreciate some of your ideas.

I'd like to say a couple of unpopular things here, though I hope you all appreciate the diversity of thought and engage in discussion with me.

Firstly, it only makes sense that the Chinese government is banning bitcoin, though I'd highlight the wastage of electricity is a secondary goal. Case in point, China still fervently engages and expands its production of electricity via coal. Instead, the goal is to better balance the gridlines where most crypto mines are; more importantly, nurturing the right environment to disrupt USD throughout the New Belt Road necessitates their crypto usage be tamed. Don't get it confused.

though i appreciate the work of minetest team and other foss games, i think minecraft is on another level.

IMO, it is your judgement whether to allow a microsoft-owned game onto your otherwise FAANG-free phone, but you cant even make a consented choice on ios or gAndroid.

i believe you can sideload minecraft from outside the play store. its just installing another apk from an online website, though you have to trust the source.

it can be ethically questionable to start doing this for apps you havent paid for. additionally, if you do this, you will have to check manually for updates.

free as in freedom, not free as in free beer --clearly undermining the definition of free software here, freeware is rarely OSS
