  • Huh… FileFlows does a lot more than video and music though… interesting.

    Eh there are a couple of things I dislike, though the UI is very nice looking and there are lots of features. Closed source, no lifetime option and tiered subs… that all puts me off a tool pretty quickly these days. I’ve lost the ability to trust anything that does not have open code due to the never ending and constant corporate enshittification and underhanded tracking.




  • I mean, to be fair these guys are paid the lowest dollar and subcontracted at this point. They literally aren’t paid enough to make ends meet, they are too distracted worrying about their lives and family to bother worrying about some poor design that involved having movable panels crossing a pattern forcing an unnecessarily specific alignment.








  • A large portion scientists, doctors, engineers, staticians and mathematicians are on the spectrum.

    Eradicate autism and you eradicate many of our more intelligent members of society.

    Autism is a side of the coin in human genetics, not a disease. It is a gift of our diversity that not all of us think the same way or conform. It gives us an evolutionary advantage even if it makes you seem at a disadvantage due to the rigid, cookie cutter expectations of the modern world. Autism has always been part of us, it just didn’t become a “problem” until billionaires needed wage slaves that were efficient little drones who fell in line.



  • Unfortunately rich and developed countries with an iron grip on the markets by a few billionaires that control them you see. They ensure our options are limited.

    Canadians have very limited choices in terms of services. Even our grocery store shelves are bought out by major corps and local options struggle to get their products on the shelves.

    As another example, our banks have no interpayment systems outside the interac system, and they have no standard apis for payment services. So things like apps for managing budgets involve downloading a csv after our billing date passes and a lot of manual work. Most banks offer their own budget apps and they only work with their services.

    We have effectively have 3 phone and internet providers… or little guys that resell access to the big 3.

    The monopoly man won the game in Canada.


  • Getting money to organizations outside Canada and the US, once you remove credit cards and paypal, is exclusive to wire transfer from within Canada. If i want to get my money to any entity outside of Canada those are my options. None of these alt payment providers exist in Canada, and we are barred from buying crypto from our accounts.

    JCB seems like the Interac system here in Canada, which I doubt Steam would take payment from. Its essentially a bank transfer. Nope, apparently JCB is a Credit Card company like Visa et al.

    Yeah, JCB is not available in the Americas
