That's his dedicated staircase and you're just jealous you're not allowed to use it.

He said his boss ordered him to stop investigating Giuliani and the Trump White House.

Someone is covering their ass in case Trump is reelected and that person needs to be named. Now.

I'm absolutely loving it. I love that I can pace the game myself thanks to the turn based design, that my actions have consequences, that it's a proper role playing game.

I'm about 30 hours in and it's fantastic.

That's good to hear. I'm still suspicious of anything that sounds like room temperature superconductivity but it's nice to know the jury's still out and there's maybe hope.

Whoever made that needs to go play in traffic. Pretentious ass shit.

I'm someone that would be Republican if the GOP hadn't lost their fucking minds. You could call me a conservative.

Presumably you can already tell what I think. Those fucking idiots, I hope the contingent of that party dies off quickly enough that reasonable conservatives can salvage what's left.

One of my favorites that seems to get overlooked a lot lately is Contact.

At this point I'd back up your photos, etc, and factory reset the phone. Then use a different passcode. Don't forget to back up MFA credentials so you can get into your Google account after the reset.

Given a direct URL to a `thing` in the fediverse, is there a way to plug that URL into kbin and open it through my kbin lens?

Suppose I was sent a link to this video explaining the fediverse. Is there a way to open that in kbin's pwa so I'm logged in and can interact with it? If not, what would be the right URL format to view it "via kbin"?

The Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, and Fourteenth Amendments: "yeah go fuck yourself"

Texas judge who doesn’t want to perform gay marriage ceremonies hopes web designer’s Supreme Court case helps her fight (www.texastribune.org)

McLennan County Justice of the Peace Dianne Hensley filed a lawsuit after a state agency warned her about refusing to marry gay couples. She hopes a recent U.S. Supreme Court case about religious freedom helps her cause.

I'm always on the side of a clergy who doesn't want to perform a marriage for any reason, but this isn't that. This person is a public office and their personal opinions don't enter into it, full stop.

I'm with you. This judge should be impeached and have their law credentials revoked. They're failing to perform the duties of their office, they get fired.

We need the absolute ridiculous amount of niche communities we used to have.

There are exactly 0 companies that are going to make their lives harder for 0.0001% of their customer base. You're the one with the niche hobby, you figure out how to make it work. Find the original discs or something. That's not Steam's problem.

Just saying.. if you take that variable into account it probably gets a lot closer to that 0/12

Those stats don't take into account the number of women that would want to work for Elon Musk.

Imgur links suck

Most Fediverse software supports image uploads, so there's no reason to use Imgur for image hosting. Hell, even on my small single-user server (atomicpoet.org), image hosting is easy peasy. Not only is Imgur not needed, they're an annoyance for those of us who are used to seeing images natively on the Fediverse....

Image hosting is always easy, it's never cheap. That's the difference between an instance with tens of thousands of users and your server with 1.

I swear to god if they put this shit in Starfield I'm going to pay Empress for the crack instead of giving my money to BSG. It's not about the money at that point, nobody can say I'll just be a cheap ass.

It doesn't mean you have to give them the platform, though. If they want to create their own Nazi federation that's entirely on them, but you don't have to integrate their content.

Ads are common attack vectors. Blocking them is a matter of security.

The problem with something like gfycat isn't the source code, it's the storage and bandwidth. That shit is expensive and there's no way to do it for free without showing ads and not go broke.

Could you describe what "webrings" were?

Oh god I feel old
