I think we don’t really appreciate time until we know it ends. Unfortunately, we outlive some animals, but we get to enjoy time with them and doing everything possible to make their life better.

I lost my dog last year, it was rough. My family wasn’t there, I had to go by myself and the vet couldn’t do more to save her, but I was there, she wasn’t alone, she never was. I always watched her, played with her, even danced with her because she was very tall. I remember the first time I saw that she couldn’t peek at the window anymore, she was getting old and fragile and she couldn’t get up, I realized that I could only give her all the love I could, but I distanced myself some days from her because I didn’t wanna suffer her loss, I was afraid of what was going to come in the next months.

After some time, I realized I was being very selfish because I would remember all the love I had for her, but she would remember how in her last months I abandoned her, and I couldn’t let that happen. My love for her, my time with her; our time together was what make some parts of my life great! She made me feel better a lot of times and I always reciprocated.

I think one of the points of life, at least mine, is to make other lives better, that includes to help all the animals I can, even if I’ll have to suffer when they’re gone, because they will be happy all the time they lived.

I guess prices may have changed since the last time I checked, but I think some Raspberries still cost more than $60USD, plus the rest of the hardware.

I’ll check again when there’s money to afford it lol, thx for the suggestion btw

Oh, of course! I was referring only to Google and Amazon because I’d need to invest a lot more if I want an independent and open smart home, which is unnecessary and expensive for me right now.

Alexa and Google Assistant are the default option in México, shipping alternatives is both expensive and hard :)

I’d only like smart windows and lights, since I like low yellow light at night and to open the windows in the morning and to close them later. But I don’t like the idea of Amazon or Google having my house (and conversations, internet traffic, etc.) even more at their disposal, that’s why I avoid to invest on IoT devices right now.

Also, there’s the getting locked out of your own house: https://medium.com/@bjax_/a-tale-of-unwanted-disruption-my-week-without-amazon-df1074e3818b

“Can I see the moments when I made other people feel good/better?” or to know what people i helped and how

I don’t like to have to press a button, then search for an emoji. Emoticons are faster to write, I mostly use the :), :/, etc.

I changed that in Mastodon, for example. Someone told me that screen readers have trouble reading emoticons, so I mostly use stickers or emojis there.

Yes! I still question myself because I adopt when I can just so they don’t stay in the streets, but I don’t call my family of dogs pets. I treat them with respect and don’t judge them based on human prejudices, but the rest of the people expects me to treat them as inferior and disrespect them ;:/

And guess what?: those people are usually the ones that are abusive to the dogs/cats that live with them.

I don’t think they try to be a social media platform, but it is definitely a bad substitute for forums and I dislike anyone who tries to use Discord as a forum alternative.

At least I heard that Framasoft is working in an official app :D

I only enter to reddit to check information I can’t find in other places or because of communities there. I mostly enter for KDE reports and Stellaris lol

I have a Twitter account because my friend are there and they’ve abandoned Facebook almost completely, but I enter one in a month or so. I’ve been using Mastodon daily because I found a lot of people that also have my interests and hobbies, even in my language.

I only enter to Discord for casual gaming with friends, like one or two times a month.

And I’ve been trying to use PeerTube more, but a lot of content creators I like are still on YouTube, and PeerTube doesn’t have an official app yet. I’m currently using Piped and NewPipe for watching videos (I use the YT app only when I want to support some creators).

It’s kind of weird, but it can be way more specific in Spanish. I mostly use English for programming or tech related questions; Spanish for research and when its response in English isn’t relevant or it’s less informative than I expected.

I stopped buying plastic bottles and packaged foods, except ramens.

Since I bought a thermo, I don’t buy soda anymore and I’ve managed to save good money every week, especially good because I’m a student lol

And we only pay for cheap streaming services, I don’t care if something isn’t there, I can easily find it 🏴‍☠️

Pacific Rim: Uprising. I HATE MOVIES THAT USE “QUANTUM WHATEVER” TO EXPLAIN THINGS.

It doesn’t make sense, it has bad effects and a horrible plot.

I don’t know why they even bother making it, it’s stupid. And really, saying that something is a quantum device doesn’t mean anything.

Not all vegans are white people, which is very important because there are indigenous people who are vegan, Latinamerican, African and from many other places of origin, and many other non-white people who are vegan.

It looks like you haven’t even researched about this, since many vegans in Europe have been protesting and asking to end meat and dairy subsidies.

Please research before spreading hate towards a philosophy you don’t know anything about.

I’d say:

• Flow Launcher
• Kate
• Espanso

I use it with Flow Launcher, which is open source (MIT License) and actually maintained. I abandoned Keypirinha a couple years ago.

I’ve always wanted to do that, ngl

CoD: Black Ops 1 is a freaking masterpiece. It made me expect more from videogames and appreciate the little details. Then Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Fallout 4 were the first games that made me realize that an open world with such content was possible and the RPGs world. I know they are not massive, but I had only played in an Xbox and I had to be picky because I’m no rich. But yeah, I only have good anecdotes with those games and how impressive it was for me, mostly Fallout 4 because of secondary missions that had an impact on me, and then the other Fallouts which I’m playing in order right now and every one has its own impact, I love the franchise.

Extra: I love R6 and it was one of my favorites of all time, then I was introduced to the enshittifcation concept without knowing it lol. I kept playing Battlefield 4 rather than returning to R6.

Note: I used Community of Earth in case we discover other species, but I’d suggest changing the name according to the interplanetary travel and expeditions

And i don’t know, I’m a Free Software advocate so that too has to be considered. Any way, I have more ideas, but not the time
