she/her 🔨 🏳️⚧️ Marxist Leninist
Transmission has been my goto torrenting program since uTorrent went to shit years and years ago.
It’s dead simple, no extra frills, runs on pretty much anything, and has a web server interface that you can bind to so whenever I click a magnet link it’ll start downloading to my home server.
I have the same issue, like even ramens that aren’t meat flavored still shove some beef extract or bonito flakes in.
When I can find it, Ramen Express brand noodles are certified vegan and vegetarian (on the packaging it only says vegetarian), and when I’ve gone to my small local asian market I’ve found some good noodles without animal products.
Cringy theming and allegedly less system use (but it’s Chromium so kind of a losing battle). God I hate gamer shit.
Same but they asked someone with my deadname for $27.
My homescreen is just black with Lemmy, Signal, my homelab, Discord, web browser, music, texting, and my smart lighting.
I’ve tried to simplify down my mobile device as I have an addictive personality and have struggled in the past with social media on my phone. Half the time my phone is in greyscale as well.
It isn’t enough to live but 40 hours a week is 160 hours a month which comes out to 3200 USD before taxes. I don’t know what taxes are like in Colorado but after that, Federal, Medicare, and Social Security you’re looking at probably mid 2,000s per month. Then you have expenses like groceries, transportation, medical insurance, etc to wipe out whats left.
Unless running a hardened and privacy focused OS like GrapheneOS or CalyxOS I wouldn’t consider really any android to be private. Between Google’s own apps and 3rd party manufacturers like Samsung having their own spyware, standard Android is just as diseased as Apple products.
And unfortunately nowadays there’s only a few phones that can even securely unlock their bootloader, install a safer OS, and relocking it to precent tampering.
Usually 2 or 5 A and love 5B but I ran out of CO2 so it’s been 6B.
I haven’t had Worcestershire sauce is forever since becoming a vegetarian but I’ve heard there’s vegan variants out there. I should look for some or make some…
Raised with a very politically charged father, I just mimicked his beliefs, not understanding anything other than democrats bad. Once I reached my early teenage years I started to consider myself a classic libertarian because queer people should be allowed to live their lives and we should be allowed to smoke weed, but ‘the government’ shouldn’t bother people.
Fast forward to moving out with my at the time partner and immediately hit with rent, work, bills, etc while not making much. I started questioning there and as the effects of the ‘real world’ started crunching down harder and harder I was sure that ‘people’ can’t be trusted to not abuse others so might as well do something about it. Then Bernie Sanders started his campaign and I got sucked right in to being a demsoc.
Few years pass, still jaded from the DNC’s actions in the 2016 elections, people are starting ironically/unironically joke about communism. And at this point I had been considering myself as a ‘socialist’ so it really didn’t carry the scary vibes that alot of American conservatives and liberals accossiate it with. So I started looking into Marxism, reading about events, listening to reading podcasts such as Marx Madness, finally realizing that its not ‘people’ that was the problem before (see paragraph 2) but that it was Capitalism. And well… A few years later I’m here on Lemmy.
