Groceries in Japan are extremely expensive, which might lead you to assume that Japanese seniors receive decent pensions. However, this 80-year-old woman, who was caught stealing a large amount of groceries from a supermarket, lives on just 10万円 a month — roughly 55,000 RUB. It's no wonder she's forced to steal food just to get by. #japan#theft
A former employee of Mitsubishi UFJ Bank was arrested on suspicion of stealing gold bars from a safe deposit box. The woman stole approximately 20 kg of gold bars. #japan#theft
@Suiseiseki @nyanide That's hilarious. You can't install Linux on Android because it already comes with Linux preinstalled. That switch in Options just lets you run commandline programs made by GNU.
@hakui@Suiseiseki@deadheat@nakamura@feld@coolboymew@sun@takao the creators made it impossible to enjoy without running nonfree software. It's basically trash unless you pick out the good stuff. And honestly I wouldn't bother doing that myself, trash should belong in the trash can. I'd rather enjoy something that doesn't force me to run nonfree software.
@deadheat@Suiseiseki@takao@coolboymew@feld@hakui@sun VNs may seem appealing, but it's best to avoid them due to the fact that most VNs are proprietary. It's fine to run a free(libre) VN if you like, but the one you mentioned is not free. Proprietary software by design doesn't respect the users' freedom and community. You are not allowed to run such a program as you wish, you can't study how it works and what it does, you can't change it, you can't make and distribute copies of it. There's no way to find out what the program is doing while it's running. Proprietary software can compromise your privacy and security. Sometimes we can detect malicious functionalities by observing their consequences, but it's also possible that a program does something malicious without leaving traces.
If you run a proprietary program, you put its developer in a position of power over you and your computer. You give them the power to abuse you. Don't allow them to commit injustice.
Tempted by the power to do anything they want on the users' computers, developers of proprietary programs tend to include malicious functionalities. In practice almost all proprietary software is malware.
In contrast, alternatives like manga, anime, and light novels can be enjoyed using free software such as MPV for anime, NSxiv for manga, and crqt-ng for books.
Stick to media that respects your freedom and privacy. Remember, most visual novels should be avoided since they are proprietary!
