Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • Good.

    Shitty cyclists suck. I ride my own bike every day, and I can’t get over how often I see someone riding among pedestrians, (often along a road clear of cars, or worse yet, along an actual bike lane right there).

    I must have shouted “the bike lane is literally right here” as I go past people like this over a hundred times in my life.

    It’s obvius to me that hitting someone with my bike would be horrible, yet I see people riding them all the time like it’s the same as lightly jogging.










  • The universe doesn’t care, so we have to. If you want humanity to be something that’s worthy of existing, then it’s not optional.

    Fine, you don’t have the stamina to care about this because you can’t personally do something about it. That’s ok.

    But care about something. Care about not running the water while brushing your teeth for no reason, or about repairing some things you’d normally throw away. Care about being good company for the people you know. Care about doing things better when you spot an opportunity for improvement. Care about not making the lives of your colleagues harder if you can help it. Care about answering the questions of a child with mindfulness and consideration.

    You don’t have to care about everything. Everything matters, everything needs improving, but no-one can fix everything so that it’s perfect.

    But improve something. Take pleasure in doing it. Not everyone will do the same, but you’ll be one more among millions making the world a little better, instead of worse.



  • That’s not really how the comments on alternativeto work. They are relative.

    If you got to spotifys page, it will list similar services, each with their own comments, and the comments under youtube music, for example, will be about how it compares to spotify.

    So, to leave useful comments, you only have to know how a given piece of software compares to what you used before. You don’t comment on how a given thing compares to everything else, only to one thing at a time.

    Then, as other people browse the alternatives, they can use those individual comparisons to navigate their way to what they need. Stuff like “this can’t replace that for this use-case, because reason, but it does this other stuff” is extremely useful when looking for something that does what you’re looking for.
