As everyone said, FOSS is the way to go for all of your concerns, and most likely won’t be paying a dime.

A non-FOSS alternative for video edits is Davinci Resolve; there’s a free version that is absolutely amazing. Discovered it when looking for an industry standard platform that runs natively on Linux.

Its pretty much just like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro. The non-free functions have so far not felt necessary because of the multitude of free plugins that could be used for the rare occasion I definitely need something that’s otherwise behind a paywall.

Low life groyper trash here folks; nothing to see here.

A public display to the world, say like the Nuremberg Trials 2.0 for the Trump admin would be helpful.

Ebbs and flows of how life dictates how it wants you to consume things has always been there, but you still have choice. For new stuff, you can dig for what’s quality to you. You don’t have to give it to the AI sloptubers.

And yes, getting older objectively makes it more difficult to get into new things, but it’s okay to embrace that. Have your backlog of stuff you KNOW you enjoy.

Replying to your shit take as soap box to answer your question and remind everyone that one the things we should be organizing is a GENERAL STRIKE

Congratulations to Portugal for committing to a GENERAL STRIKE and gaining massive leverage: https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/sustainable-finance-reporting/portugal-general-strike-stalls-transport-closes-schools-labour-reform-protest-2025-12-11/

Mike Patton also wrote a variety of better and more creatively ambitious music than that sex pest Kiedis anyway.

And his take on the Russian invasion of Ukraine is pretty shit.

His influence in modern leftism stops at Manufactured Consent anyway in my opinion
