I'm currently reading Foucault's history of sexuality, and the reason you might want this is because population!

Obviously we are facing a population crisis, and we will need more bodies for the factories and retirement homes. Or at least this was the idea in the 1800s. We might have morally coated it with religion, but biopower is a real thing.

The current hypothesis is that the ever evolving LGBTQ+ is a way to sell niche products to these groups. You can imagine that with every new gender, there is a facebook ad and amazon order to be sold.

I don't really believe this, I'm an anti-realist and I think continental philosophy is BS... but this is a classic. Also, there are sooo many ways our sexual taboos are all about economics. Once you see it, you cant unsee.

I tried doing this with csv files (and for an online solution, Google Sheets)

I ended up just buying a VPS, putting openclaw on it, and letting it Postgres my app.

I feel like this article is outdated since the invention of OpenClaw/Claude Opus level AI Agents. The difficulty is no longer programming.

F-Droid is amazing. I basically wont install anything from the playstore unless its my bank or something.

Video games on F-Droid are how Android games should be. They have the spirt: No ads, no micro transactions, etc..

Kids educational games are the same. I have been using those games only for years and I've had 0 issues. Playstore games, you get an update and now your progress is frozen unless you pay.

Guitar tuner? same

File explorer, image viewer, etc... Same

Everything: same

We need a financial way to reward the resistance. Big corps do not care, as we saw them cave to Apple.

Anyway, I did my part, basically I only use FDroid. I filled this out: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfN3UQeNspQsZCO2ITk...

>Combat astroturfing: when you encounter suspect posts on community forums and social media in support of the policy (“Well, actually…”), challenge them and do not be shy.

Someone contact Dang, because this is now allowed. I have been suspicious HN has actively supported astroturfers over the years for some sort of financial or mutually beneficial gain.

Anyway I basically changed to web apps. They are much easier to deal with and develop.

Yeah I remember that. Very Apple of them.

'Cool demo' -> Doesnt convert to tangible things.

Wont attempt to compete with companies better than them, but go their own route. "oh look it consumes low power!" (Things no one cared about).

They are the Nintendo of tech.

I dont think you should have been downvoted. Processing and memory are the only thing that matters. (Unless we are being so nontechnical now that we just say things like Pixel 9 is great...)

My only issue with AI is that its so verbose.

What we should encourage are people to simplify with AI.

There was that literal 9 page rant by the other day and people had no idea what he was trying to say (too technical language, a poor writer, and seemingly unedited). That could have benefited greatly.
