Battles never end, they just get hushed up. Dystopian tactics; throw a blanket over it and pretend it doesn't exist because society is perfect for the rich and the powerful.

Before you own cats: "Oh no, cat claws are scary!"
After you own cats: "Yes, this is day 4 of my baby giving me clawed arm hugs and gnawing on my fingers. Yes, I know I'm bleeding."
Ever since my early Demonoid days I've made sure to seed at least 2.0 ratio. I think when I left, I was at 2.6. Now I just make sure to seed a week minimum, and two if the torrent is hurting for seeders. I'll remember this. What I'll do is stream via realdebrid on my TV while I seed the same on my PC.
Basically, I was downloading and seeding then using a USB to watch on TV, but my TV and Bluray player are super picky about the codec formatting. Realdebrid was my solution. When it comes to just watching by myself on PC, I still grab the torrents anyway.
If I can recall the vid I watched on GIMP 3, the whole UI is now customizable with CSS. You could dive a bit into it and see if you can change out or recolor the icons (recoloring should be doable if they're SVG, but you might need to decode base64, change the color and recode it into base64).
However, it shouldn't be too long before custom UIs start pouring out. So if CSS isn't your thing, keep checking back and see if someone has made something that ticks all your boxes!
It really all boils down to "live how you want as long as you're not bothering others". If you believe heavily in it, then live by it, but stop slamming it into the heads of people who believe the opposite or just don't care.
It's part of the reason why younger gens cringe at religion. "Do this or you will go to hell, but do it through us because you'll go to hell if you do it through another religion." It's enough to make anyone balk, and rightfully so. The ground is always shaky, it just doesn't feel as shaky if you shake with it.
...Now I want a shake.
Yeah, eventually it was. The last leader of the Trade Federation was a co-conspirator of Darth Sidious' (they had no idea it was Palpatine). Eventually they just got used and eaten up by the Empire.
Now the real question is... do you use fish shell?
Yeah, I usually go down this same thought process every time I re-read the books. I usually end up at, "Yup, she went out of her way to avoid Quidditch by using feebler and feebler excuses every book." It's a shame, because it really could have wound up an exciting part of the series if it was more thought out.
I'm in the same spot, tbh. I want to do something, but I just can't figure out what yet. I'm not giving up though. We can definitely do this.
I'm not with you; I'm way ahead of you.
I missed it too, at first. Probably because I look for the lowercase dbzer0 with the numeric on the end.
Don't forget "guy" and "chief".
