That’s a nice custom, good to know

What about mine turtles?

Most humans live above ground level, you sound like your live in your mother’s basement. Doesn’t make you a different species, does it?

“off” is one my favourites. The alarm went OFF so we had to turn it OFF. It means the opposite of itself.

“Sanction” is another example. Your actions were not sanctioned by us, so as retaliation we’re introducing sanctions against you.

I feel like it’s unfair that only learner drivers get a standardised signal for warning other road users of their incompetence. People who already got their license but are still shit at driving need one to. I’m thinking something like that blue “L” cube with a “D” instead short for “dumbfuck”.

moss cow hehe

No I’m a primate it’s totally different

“Advanced Privacy” app on /e/-os (opensource android ROM) sends me occasional notifications about apps with most trackers haha. Also has a “wall of shame” (it’s literally called that) where you can browse the worst offending apps

This is just the standard mac os experience to be honest

The original headline is “‘No Way to Prevent This’ says only country where this regularly happens”. If you look closely at OP’s meme, you can actually see the font changes after the “only” (baseline is slightly lower; uses lighter color; kerning of eve in “Prevent” is completely different )

But yeah shit take anyway, just because the US is famous for shootings doesn’t mean that it’s any more dangerous than other country

I personally pronounce it with a hard G even when talking about the mythical creature because that’s how it’s pronounced in most other languages that have a similar word. Anglos can go fuck themselves with their needlessly complicated phonetics.

It depends on the phase. Sometimes you get constructive interference and they add up instead.

I sadly can’t recommend any communities for this, but what I do know is that search engines have been basically useless for finding software alternatives for a while. Search results are just full of for-profit bullshit trying to sell you their stupid app or low-effort list sites like alternativeto.net. If I need to find an offline alternative to some specific tool, as ironic as it is, I usually just ask an LLM. They work pretty well as a sort of reverse-search engine for finding software based on a description of the features.

I personally like to listen to both sides of the story so that I can absorb 2x the disinformation

Sounds like a very elegant way to fuck over screenreader users

During my quantum mechanics course in year one of uni the lecturer spent the entirety of first lecture essentially ranting about how all of these “interpretations” of quantum mechanics are a complete waste of time with zero practical application. So you’re not alone on this one.

EDIT wait no lmao the course wasn’t even on quantum mechanics it was on electromagnetism, the lecturer just had a personal gripe against all this quantum bullshit lol.

IDK what you mean by “domain host” but the thing about cloudflare ('s most prominent service) is that it’s essentially a voluntary MITM between you and your clients. They see ALL traffic going between your server and your clients. This is not normal. Normally traffic between server and client is encrypted with HTTPS. By using cloudflare’s proxy your are adding a backdoor to that encryption. Your registrar cannot normally see this traffic. Your certificate authority cannot normally see this traffic without issuing a malicious cert. But cloudflare can. And, if they wanted to, they could even inject malware to deanonymize users, spy on journalists, steal data, etc. As a matter of fact, they already do, but instead of calling it “malware” they call it “analytics”, so it’s okay 👍

Cloudflare is harmful. Sure, maybe they’re doing a Good Thing™ today, but who stops them from turning around and selling all of the data they proxy to AI companies tomorrow? There is rarely a good reason to use cloudflare. If you care about blocking bots, there are self-hostable tools like Anubis. If you care about hiding your server’s IP, you can use a VPN that allows port forwarding or rent a VPS. Do not use cloudflare. Cloudflare should not be used. By using cloudflare, you surrender your digital sovereignty for a mirage of convenience and safety.

(Yes, I understand the irony of posting this from a instance that uses cloudflare)

Yes indeed. It seems so far that the best defence is to join utterly unhinged communities and participate in degeneracy so severe that no publicly traded company would want to scrape you. Something something become ungovernable.
