Tired8281,

What are your thoughts on communities about drugs? Pretty big topic for me, although the drug subs mostly haven’t moved here yet, is that because you ban them? If so, I’m wasting my time waiting for them here.

Tired8281,

And they said the revolution would not be televised.

Tired8281,

Why do we need laws on this topic at all?

Star Trek executive producer wants more Strange New Worlds episodes, and I’m nervous (screenrant.com)

Strange New Worlds has been my favorite Trek since Next Generation, and if the quality continues, could easily be my favorite Trek ever. But with the e.p. wishing for more episodes per season, there’s a danger of diluting the show by adding weak episodes that would have never made it in a 10 episode season....

Tired8281,

I don’t see the problem. They obviously would hire more people to do double the episode load.

Tired8281,

I’d say I was happy, too, if I thought they might hang me or cane me if I didn’t. Happy as hell, sir!

Tired8281,

I’d send my kid to Lucifer P. Satan Memorial Elementary.

Tired8281,

Just means I’ll have the shittiest Chromebook I can buy used, for access to the sites you just listed, and my Linux laptop for everything else. If their non-financial, non-commerce site won’t let me in with my adblocking Linux machine, I just won’t go there. There will be lots of site still, run by us, that don’t do this shit, and they’ll get my traffic.

Tired8281,

Google has a track record of attack articles written against them, all talking up their intentions to tank adblocking, including this attack article. And yet, my adblocker still works and my ads are still blocked. Strange that we just assume this is what they intend to do, when there’s no evidence they’ve pulled it off, we treat it as if they have.

Tired8281,

Not from them! They don’t make a dime when I buy yours.

Tired8281,

They already do that from my Android phone, and I’m sure as hell not going Apple. Linux phones aren’t there yet, maybe in a few years, but I’ll still need an Android phone for the same reasons I’d need a Chromebok, bank apps will never support Linux phones. And yeah, like everybody said, VLANs. I already have one for untrusted IoT devices, I’ll just spin up another for Chromebooks.

Tired8281,

Threatens, as in, hasn’t happened and may not. Not all threats are true.

idk how well stuff works on Chrome Mobile. I use a different Chrome-based mobile browser that does allow extensions, and Ublock Origin works great on it. Turns out there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Who knew?

I’m well read on Manifest v3. I’m also aware of a Ublock Origin version that is designed to work under it. I have it installed and ready to go, for if and when the old one stops working. But that has only been threatened, too, and not even by Google.

I’m not certain it is just an assumption, but I am also not certain it is a prophecy. Until I get more certain, I’m not going to bust my hump worrying about it. And I’m certainly not going to bellow to the hillsides that we’re all doomed.

Tired8281,

He’s very privileged to have access to the care he has access to. My experience has been more like hearing the stuff his parents said to him, but from doctors. You’re so dramatic. You can’t possibly feel that bad, you look fine. You’re just lazy.

Tired8281,

If you didn’t ban everyone, but just started interpreting things people said with the most uncharitable interpretation you can imagine, then banned them for the things you twisted them to say, you could probably continue that forever. Reddit will always give the mod the most charitable interpretation because that requires the least work, everyone who complains against your capricious bans would just be banned by the admins for harassing you.

Tired8281,

Just a little, light cancer.

I love how Reddit is just coming right out and saying it, they think their users are total dumbshits who can’t read or observe anything that’s going on.

Tired8281,

Janeway, when she was talking about making sense of temporal paradoxes.

Tired8281,

When I decided to switch to Fedora, I wanted a safety net. I had a 500GB SSD, so I bought an additional 2TB SSD, so I could make full disk image backups and be able to store 3 of them (I used full disk encryption, so my disk image backups were the full 500GB). And I dutifully made backups, either monthly, before I made a big change, or before a major update. Been doing this for nearly two years now and I haven’t used a single backup image even once. It’s almost disappointing, in a perverse sort of way. I was looking forward to having to learn stuff by fixing things that break, but nothing ever does!

Tired8281,

I already cancelled my Dashlane, after they did an AMA on Reddit during the blackout. I don’t support companies who cross picket lines.

Tired8281,

Lemmiers.

Tired8281,

Can’t wait to see Reddit Corporate deciding whether or not a particular post is really gonewildgrannies material!

Tired8281,

How is it legal to make up a fee then offer a paid membership to avoid the fee you just made up? How is that different from the mob guys that would collect your “insurance” membership so that you didn’t incur a “business burned down” fee?

Tired8281,

I like how they made helping Reddit improve to be optional. I suspect I’m not the only one who doesn’t feel inclined to help them in any way.

Tired8281,

Wow, way to read into what I said! My point was that you enjoyed that privilege, for your whole life, whether you liked it or not, and that puts you in a better position to handle any shit you might take for it now. Better off than someone might be who didn’t have the advantage of enjoying that privilege. That’s not saying you have to surrender that privilege or that somebody else is gonna come and take it, it just acknowledges that it’s a thing and you benefited from it. All that stuff about taking away your privilege came from you, and tbh it’s a little bit strange of a focus when I was simply acknowledging that it existed and that I benefited from mine. I’d give it up in a second if I could, honestly, because it’s not something I earned.
