God I can feel that Charizard Pokémon Red cover in my soul.

Definitely.

Also, I stand corrected: the “e.g.” was preceded by a dot and capitalized, so my picks indeed seem silly haha. Those are two of my favourite artists so my choice was primed. 🙃

While you made me laugh out loud, those belong to the “and…against our whole corrupt system” part of the sentence, not the “many artists do not have plenty of money”.

Feel free to append the list ;)

Buy merch from your favourite artists/bands instead and be vocal about taxing the rich. Also stop using Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, et cetera. The EU Parliament has plenty of money, many artists do not, yet the latter have way more reach than wearing an EU t-shirt, and plenty of artists are vehemently against our whole corrupt system. E.g., Massive Attack, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, et cetera.

Vivaldi mail requires you to be an “active community member” in the Vivaldi community

Shit, didn’t know. Thanks for pointing that out.

Vivaldi Mail beats Proton and Tuta because Vivaldi strongly opposes cryptocurrencies / pyramid schemes, the others support it.

I wish I could ride my bike like a Scythed Chariot and destroy all these death machines that have the gall to ride on the bike path.

I mean fuck! I hate cars and pretentious drivers so goddamn much. The only thing they have to do to accelerate is push a pedal once with less effort than moving a feather of a newborn chick, yet they for some reason consistently claim the right of way, or get it by law even. Topsy-turvy society.

“I reduced the insolent crowd of carriages which cumber our streets, for this luxury of speed destroys its own aim; a pedestrian makes more headway than a hundred conveyances jammed end to end along the twists and turns of the Sacred Way.” ―Memoirs of Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar (1903–1987)

S💔rry, scr🦆w Proton:

1. They support greed-inducing society-eroding pyramid schemes.

2. They’re pro Trump: https://fosstodon.org/deck/@Xavier@infosec.exchange/113835722660973690
3. They consolidated their Mastodon account due to a “lack of resources”, yet they’re staying on GestapoX, yet they’ve the resources to build spreadsheet software. Bollocks. They consolidated because they couldn’t take the heat of not being surrounded by sycophants.

Stop supporting greed-stricken spineless bastards.

I love you. That’s my opinion.

As for actual feedback, when saving/converting images I always require a preview or I’m just not going to use it; I find great satisfaction in carefully trial-and-erroring my way into the nicest image quality with the lowest file size.
