Could you possibly get around a Reddit ban without VPN?

use a VPN for the creation, build up enough karma to get past the automated systems
They are banning VPNs as well if I am not wrong, I created multiple accounts on reddit and all of them were banned after a while and I hadn't even done anything except try and stay anon :(
The key is, you need to create your new account on a separate computer
Is it possible to just hide the computer or to try and mask it as something else?

automation & scripting. The more advanced the android, the less liberties I have over my own device in terms of customization.

And you never mention what problems this solves…

ah... problems like v4l2loopback not found. I used to face it a lot, and I never found the reason why it was not working in the same place (I might get one thing here and another thing there) so I tried to aggregate everything and create this post, so that people who face that issue would get this post and they won't stay confused for a long amount of time like I did.

With every new version, I lost some liberty to do something I like in the name of security. I am not exactly excited over newer versions of android :(

ohh... thanks! I will look into it!

hey, what ya mean? Droidcam is actually perfect for me, I use it for Zoom, video calls, meets, you name it!

The only issue was reliability and I apparently just had to have v4l2loopback running in the background, and I solved that by creating a script and running that script to open Droidcam

How do you deal with the poor and desperate around you? (Homeless or some stranger who is in an utterly helpless position)

But I’m generally not very trustful

Does it say anything about the German culture or is it just you?

We have a newspaper (Real Change)

of all things you say, that's the most surprising. Local news papers are becoming a thing of the past for some reason. Next time maybe buy that newspaper, I mean, Local news papers, the remaining ones, are on life support.

Easing someone’s misery for an hour IS EASING SOMEONE’S MISERY

You are right! I must not think like that.

Has there ever been a compilation of suicide notes, if so, where can one get it? And is it a good idea to get it?

Jump

Outlive your enemies is as simple as that. You will encounter many villainous people who may or may not have influence over your life at some point, the intention of the quoted saying is that you “win” over those dickheads by living as good a life as you can.

Thank you! A life well-lived is the best revenge! haha... I like that!

Thank you very much for the explanation :) It helped!

People here set up donation boxes, swap shops, create food banks, organize markets, create safe spaces for minority groups, community gardens … mostly volunteering time

In India, we chain the jugs we use in toilets of rails and I have seen banks tie their pens to walls, so, we can't have nice things when we're so goddamn poor and have 0 civic sense or a bad culture :(

But it sounds pretty nice! I have heard of Swiss honest boxes where people self-checkout and pay for the items they are taking away from the shelves, there are no cameras, there is no one keeping watch, but the whole system depends on trust! When I told my rich well-to-do Indian friend about this and how it would never work over here, she said "yeah, I would just take away stuff and not pay for it" (kinda made my blood boil, this is why we can't have nice things lol)

PS: Thank you very much for your well-wishes! Means a lot! :)

I generally don’t give to individuals, hoping our donations, aggregated with others, will reach more people in need.

I think that's a good rule, but it's not for everyone, i.e., People actually would like to see their money do good, (it's easier to see a thankful smile on someone than get a digital message on a website) and let's not forget, people would have to do their own research before donating, because let's be honest, there so many scammy non-profits made to make money for their corporate overlords (not to mention the conversion rate), if a non-profit is separately pooling money for administration expenses, I would be more likely to trust them. Also, rest of the comment is pretty nice, thanks for the comment!

It adds up. Especially if you are in a populated city.

I am not saying most homeless people dupe you into giving them money which they later use for exotic stuff, but many do. I really am not blaming them, maybe drugs are the only relief they have in their lives, I don't know, but I can't refute the argument that that money would do more damage than good.
