Avid PC gamer, Linux convert, SCP fan.
Love Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic settings; Fan of the games of the defunct Arkane Studios. Listening to (Power-, Speed-, Thrash-)Metal, Gothic, Deathrock, EBM, Vaporwave, Lo-Fi; Classic and Musicals are fine too. Can’t stand Hip-Hop.
Owned by two cats, recently divorced, blessed with a personality disorder (AVPD) - pensioned (even the state has the opinion I’m a total wreck lol). This causes me to be unable to keep up personal connections and makes me ghost literally everyone, so if it happens to you, sorry in advance.
Chronically online.
Pro GenAI, but Anti-GenAI-Corpos; this technology should be available to everyone, which would only be fair since we all contributed to it. Datasets and Models should be under the jurisdiction of UNESCO, since they are literally the distilled cultural output of humanity.

That would be the ideal case. - making sure that the obligations that come with providing living space are always equivalent to the rent, while mandating to operate efficiently.
Which actually is simply a non-profit. Prohibit renting out apartments and houses if you aren’t one.
(those bastards at blackstone would shit themselves when confronted with such legislation)
Thats a great kittycat :-)
My 2 cats are bullies to others :-( They terrorized the 3rd cat we had because they were jealous (can’t share their humans with someone else, no sir). They are from Serbia, and i started calling them our serbian mafia when they did this.
When i moved out i took them with me, and since then they are very much better behaved as long as they get all the cuddling and playing they want - but if i dare to refuse because i am occupied with something else, they start misbehaving, throwing things from the couch table and stuff like that to get my attention - as soon as they get pet with my full attention while lounging on me for 10-15 minutes (during the day thats about the time of one cuddling session per cat - they want their pets every 2-3 hours) they start behaving again.
They know what they want and they are NOT willing to compromise lol
My heart bleeds for the poor landlords. they will actually have to fix shit like mold and vermin now, and can’t put surprise charges towards rent! How are those shitstains supposed to get an effortless income now?
The devices themselves aren’t the issue (as it is with most tools), but the environment they exist in leads to societally toxic outcomes.
The existence of smartphones does not imply the lived reality of tracking, privacy violations, ads ads ads, monopoly-like software distribution and shutting out people for not having a smartphone from important services.
The latter is a consequence of unchecked capitalism and authoritarianism - it’s a policy issue.
