Not exactly a “life changing experience”, but using blocky instead of pihole or adguard. It’s basically “the same thing” but with way more customization features – and the “cherry on top” of setting it as user nobody instead of root or your current one.

GustavoM , 1 year ago to youshouldknow in YSK: While you're on Lemmy/Kbin/Fediverse, you're not "the product" but you're also not "the customer".

…I’m sorry, but blind positivism won’t get you, Lemmy and nothing else to anywhere. Nothing is perfect neither free of “predatory capitalism” – one day, you will “be the product”. And there is nothing you can do about it, because this world ain’t a fairy tale where we’ve got fairies flying around and giving us anything we want – we need money. And lots of it.

Shout at me, swarm at me with negative downvotes like it’s the best thing you can do (which probably is), but this is the real world, giving it to you at a couple words, fair and square.

GustavoM , 1 year ago to nostupidquestions in What's your solution to end all wars?

It's (theoretically) impossible -- you can't break someone's (ignorant and established) will/ideas/plans with words alone or treats. Most world leaders are megalomaniacs by heart, i.e they won't stop until they are done with what they want.

Imagine you are chilling on the sofa watching netflix with your girl and some random girl knocks at your door and shouts: “WOW! Your filtered piss tastes so GREAT!”

…

Thats an odd way to give someone a blowjob.

…and why exactly are you highlighting his “political preference” as a some sort of problem? This ain’t “Politics.world” as far as I’m concerned.
