I hear that term a lot, but what does "middle class" mean to you? When you say you are "middle" what do you mean?

What makes you say that? Most of my friend groups are migrating towards mastodon. I haven't noticed any political connotations.

>Why would I want to switch to this? Because you value free software. That's the only reason. It's a very compelling reason for many people. If it's not compelling for you, that's ok.

As I get closer to 30 without starting my CS education like I thought I would by now, this makes me feel a lot better. It was starting to feel like I "missed the boat" and even if I started to learn now, I'd never get actual

I've noticed that 5G doesn't work as well as LTE when moving, like when on a train or a car on the highway. Has anyone else noticed this?

Work or starve. Plenty of desperate people willing to do whatever jobs they can right now. Not a lot of time to train for more lucrative work, let alone find it.

I'm actually incredibly concerned that the people that make sandwiches for me can't afford rent. I can't speak for everyone, but I"m pretty sure most people do care about those with less than them.

Adam Smith saw most landlording as rent-seeking. He saw landlords as cruel parasites. So do I. “As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed and d

We criticise rent-seeking behaviour in software, I find it interesting that it's different in "real life"

I'm not demanding ethical privacy, I just understand why they were shut down. It's a bummer for humanity, but the people running z-lib should have known what they were getting into by charging for a fast lane.

I don't disagree with this sentiment. Taking money in exchange for priority access to the "stolen" materials makes things feel less like charity, though.

The fact that you can pay and get something in exchange for the payment makes it a commercial enterprise. It's very simple. Libgen isn't facing the same issues because it isn't a commercial enterprise.

I'm on some private trackers. When they get shut down, I won't be surprised. In my anarchist circles, other things are recommended before z-lib, which is a second-to-last resort. There's an ebook piracy scheme that's bee
