@toiletpaper I've successfully used the plain Android dev environment in the past. Maybe it will be easier for you to get things to run on that one?

It is a huge java monster, but at least it installed painlessly on a modern linux distribution.

@toiletpaper Might work if the banks programmers are not very security conscious. I used the same method to print boardingcars at ryanair, when they stopped offering them to people without smartphones.

There are apps though, that detect that you do not run them on a phone, and then they refuse to cooperate.

I'll keep my fingers crossed!

@toiletpaper produced the odd, fake invoice in my own business. It is not a perfect solution, and it has severe limitations, but small stuff (depending on the size of the business and benevolence of the owner) should work.

@toiletpaper Sorry to hear that, but I fully support you and hope you'll find a solution!

Maybe you could get a kind of lawyerly "client account" if you know a small town layer? That way, for a modest fee, they could help with any transactions you might need.

Or are there any credit unions around?

The last easy solution I can think of is if you know someone with a small business who could just sit on your money justifying it by having you as their customer.

I've bought stuff, and

@hopland @hopland Another victory for me. Remember this next time you want to play in the big league! 😎

@victoriasvan Det är sant. Jag känner massor av unga vita män som är väldigt nedbrutna av samhällets inbyggda rasism och diskriminering av vita män. Det är djupt tragiskt och en av vår tids största orättvisor.

Därför brukar jag själv alltid prioritera unga vita män när jag anställer personer.

I wonder if merovingian is blocked at the instance level from the more woke instances? I have a lot less homo-propaganda coming through here, which is actually very pleasant!

@nice-nigger @toiletpaper Hmm... could you expand on that?

@toiletpaper People sure love to complicate their lives!

@freepatriot This is the truth!

@joho This is very interesting and I looked at it myself in the past. I think the idea of a small, sqlite (?) backed mastodon "light" platform is excellent!

If I would not be worried about fine and the lack of freedom of speech in europe, I would probably run my own instance.

@Dan_Ramos Ahh... so is gaming decreasing on windows? I thought gaming and office work were their last 2 strongholds. Very good if at least one of those is decreasing!

schools of philosophy that interest you yourself.

Collection of essays about the philosophy of life that various academics choose for themselves and why. Covers aristotle, stoics, epicureans, various religions, and modern isms such as existentialism and pragmaticism.

2 ouf of 5. The essays are too short and lacking philosophical rigor and argumentation.

The book comes across as a collection of commercials, and lots of wokeness from about 70% of the essayists.

You're much better off just taking the table of contents and researching the

Two quick book reviews:

1. Materialism - A Philosophical Inquiry by Brown and Ladyman.

Short, excellent introduction to materialism. Starting with its ancient roots in india and freece, 2500 years ago, traving its development until todays physicalism.

4 out of 5, and shows beautifully how religion is not the answer to the question of what exists, but science.

2. How to Live a Good Life: A Guide to Choosing Your Personal Philosophy by Massimo Pigliucci , Skye Cleary

I had goat for dinner! It was disappointing, it just tasted like lamb. I thought it would have some weird character or taste, but it was just like lamb.
