Is it because, like me, you’d often type out full replies on Reddit, then decide at the last moment to not post it out of fear of becoming troll food?

An evil like this can only be destroyed in the heart of a volcano.

And chrome is repeating history with that browser share too. I have to use chrome at work and it used to be that I used Firefox at home because of tab containers and a couple other extensions. Now I use it because it’s better.

Sometime over the pandemic it shifted. Now chrome is the thing bogging down and Firefox is snappy with a smaller memory footprint.

If this is IE all over again we’ve got a good 5+ years of slow attrition to look forward to.

This is like a protomeme

It’s horrifying what data harvesting engines most OSs have become. I remember being so outraged when I learned that Ubuntu’s default MOTD phones home with a couple of pieces of hardware info that I switched distros (the ever growing use of snaps was also a factor). Windows seems like it needs a complete medical history just to “offer” a sign in prompt.

I’m pretty sure the only of those companies Musk actually started were Zip2 and The Boring Co.

There are relatively few steps that would go a long way toward stopping the accumulation of obscene amounts of wealth.

• Make tax rates similar to what we had in the 50s (conservatives love the 50s), with the brackets adjusted for inflation.
• Make all types of income tax at those rates.
• Eliminate taxable income caps including social security withholding.
• Make inheritance and gift taxes equivalent.
• End Citizens United through congressional action.
• Use that tax money on social programs, small business development programs, and infrastructure.

If you want to really jump start things we should also make all campaigns publicly funded.

YSK, Social Security is predicted to become insolvent in 2034.

I’d like to think it was intentional, but if that were the case I think it would be “Cafè Coffè”

If there are they are never enforced in the US. Court case after court case has sided with the scraper rather than the site. Though usually Facebook is the scrapee in these cases, not the scraper.

I used to work in real estate tech so I know a lot of efforts the US’s National Association of Realtors has made to stop scrapers of RE data. Some where via the legal system, some tried to push the onus on us as paying consumers of their data. Not a single thing worked - if anything they may have invoked the Streisand effect once or twice and gotten more of their data scraped.

Personally, I try to avoid reminders that my McNuggets were once a vat of pink flesh goo. The breading is an important factor in that.

Add a hawk or eagle feeder into the mix, then let it run empty /s

Wayne Enterprises maintains a cloud machine so their spoiled, good-for-nothing, CEO can always see at least 1 cloud when he looks out the windows of his manner house. Batman should really do something about that guy.

I mostly lost interest in fireworks a long time ago, but if you want to do fireworks American style just think “November 5th + 20% pointless danger.” E.g. As a kid we used to wrap “whistling pete” fireworks in electrical tape then smash them with a hammer before we set them off. They usually just explode, but sometimes they shoot off in a random direction first.

What I do these days if assume most stuff is closed so I stay home during the day, Then in the evening I might go to one of the parks doing “official” fireworks to people watch.

The poop post still bubbles up. It’s got some cling-ons.

This was me back when I disto hopped. Screwing something up was really just an excuse to try something new.

Now I’m I’m in a comfortable rut, but after recently having to set up a new machine from scratch NixOS is starting to look tempting.

Yeah, I’ve been an RSS user for 20ish years now. I’ve used feedly since GReader, but I’m considering going with a local docker solution soon.

There’s a map of subredits and their new homes, seb.rehab. Many are official others are just copies. You can filter the list to just lemmy communities and kbin magazine.

The classic way I know of is a large black coffee and a bran muffin. If you can manage to get stuck in traffic about an hour after you eat, it increases the odds of it working.
