The company that made the Nexdock is planning to make a phone. It will be Android but it can bring up a full Linux desktop that can access the Android storage. I am considering getting it and only using Android for calls, texts, and a couple apps while I install phosh UI in the distro and focus on using that.

Wouldn't you?

There is a self-hosted app you can run to pretend to be a Google bot and bypass paywalls and forced login. https://github.com/wasi-master/13ft

A couple of months ago I installed Yunohost on an old laptop for the same use case as OP and I find it is very easy to use. The hardest part to setup was mostly the dynamic DNS stuff, because I only have a basic understanding of how the internet works. Once I got (sub)domains and dynamic IP setup it has been smooth sailing.

Yunohost even had a patch for the global panic inducing PHP2Shell the same day as the announcement.

More like a world where the humans have less rights than corporations. And we've been living in that world for decades.

That's one way to form class solidarity

I wouldn't be surprised the reason the address wasn't redacted is because he had AI make the post too.

Thanks. I keep lurking in the comments for anything on the merits of the film. I get dunking on Hollywood and its stars but, you know, some actual good stuff gets made from time to time.

This is a shit comment so feel free to skip, but it loosely reminds me of this: https://lemmy.ml/post/42938261

Since you are asking seriously I will answer you: Because we have to.

At the most basic level we have to do work for basic survival. Cooking, cleaning ourselves, cleaning our living space, those are necessary to live and are actual work. This can extend to people we care about, as we are willing to put in work to maintain relationships and make sure they are well.

As for why would anyone work for something other than survival, well that can get a little philosophical. One philosophy is existentialism, where we as humans desire to have meaning in our lives and are willing to put in work to achieve something. Basically, just look back at any hobby you have done.

Now, at the societal level people will not work at the current conditions without being forced to earn a wage to survive. Once you remove money from the equation then that lets people decide for themselves how and when to work. Under those conditions people will still work for society, so long as they see the benefits it brings to that society.

An uncommon but relevant example is at the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine there was a nuclear plant near the border that everyone was worried would have a meltdown either due to bombing or the Ukrainian workers abandoning it. Some of the workers chose to stay all the way until it was captured. Then there was some diplomacy between Ukraine and Russia to figure out what to do about the plant and the workers. Those workers recognized the value of maintaining the plant to protect society, and did it without pay and at the risk of being bombed.

Not to mention the oceans cover 2/3 the surface of Earth, so any precipitation only has a 1/3 chance of being on land. And then of course as others have mentioned that doesn't mean it will rain in an accessible area or where it is most needed.
