A few times a year I watch the documentary The Internet's Own Boy: the Story of Aaron Swartz. I don't know, but it always makes me feel motivated and encouraged when I watch it.

I understand it. Look, this answer may clarify your concerns.

While you wait for someone to invite you to Riseup, use tuta.

FOSS and focused on privacy.

nano is very simple, so it wasn't efficient for projects with lots of files. I used vim for a short time, but then I gave micro a try and I was faster at it, so I stuck with it.

I use micro. Customizable and lightweight.

I try to keep everything minimalistic, so I don't have to customize it too much. For example, this is my terminal:

The most important thing for me is the font, since I also use a terminal-based editor for programming. The color palette is also minimal (I made it), I don't like things that are too colorful. I use bash as my shell, and st as my terminal.

No, not even a little bit. They only care about defending their employers' capital, nothing else. Personally I don't bother having a conversation with a liberal, honestly they are extremely idiotic and ignorantly evil people. How is it possible that they see a video of a mangled baby and the first thing they think is that the baby was used as a shield? How is it possible that they have such distorted judgement? They are defenders of fascism, and fascism is not tolerated, it is destroyed.

It's like the one responding were Jordan Peterson.

Same here. I have a dummy cell phone that I use exclusively to receive calls or some text from my relatives (I prefer calls). It's worrying how you can become a ghost if you're not on any social network. People are usually like "give me your WhatsApp", "tell me your Instagram user", what? If you need me, here's my number, that's it, haha.

and maybe like marcus aurelius or something

And they misinterpret what they read to fit their ideals. They use stoicism to try to be rich (they will never be).

These are consequences of living in a system that rewards your individualism.

I am in that age bracket, and when I was in college I found it quite difficult to get friends just because of that. Young men are easily influenced by capitalist propaganda, and not only are they manipulable, but they like to feel that way. So, most commonly, they feel like they're in a competition all the time. If they read philosophy, they read about individualism and idealism (if they read philosophy at all). If they read fiction, they read only the misogynistic and crass author, and so on.

Of course, today we live in the society of spectacle, so these people do not usually read, but are merely educated by images. This, coupled with zero critical thinking, simply generates a wave of stupid, misogynistic and individualistic people.

I feel like you're destined to use Windows for the rest of your life. You want to replicate your Windows workflow to GNU/Linux, and I think that's the main problem and the reason why people change their minds and go back to Windows.

Be perceived? Never.

In case I have a date with someone, I cook something for them. If someone else will cook for me, it's because they want to and are not forced to.

Since I stopped going to restaurants, I started having picnics (I had never had one before). The food is healthier, the atmosphere is calmer, everything is better.

Agoraphobic person.

now I have concussion

All proprietary software.
And, in case you install open source software, look at who is behind the project. I wouldn't want to install open source software sponsored by Microsoft, for example.

Embrace sobriety and thinking.

I like that the person doesn't go to restaurants and hates them as much as I do, since years ago I decided to stop going to restaurants, so I understand that it can be a problem in a relationship.
