Aren’t we all?

The browser project dedicated to open web standards steered by a compromised non-profit or the browser project dedicated to undermining the traditional web browsing experience steered by the largest advertising company on Earth … Let me think …

NYTimes is the quintessential epitome of the sort of middling liberal apologetics that funnel a society toward fascism. They aren’t friends, they’re a mouthpiece for money.

“Genius kid”? I really dislike the unnecessary and unqualified exoticization. He’s a smart kid, with access to time and resources. The sort of time and resources that any kid - Any person, really - With an interest should have access to. We’d have a lot more “geniuses” in the world if that were the case.

Outside of one-in-a-billion shots like Mangione, we’re still at the discomfort level of unreliable whackadoos being the only ones to try violent direct action. Which means that instead of picking targets that would actually make an impact, they’re picking personally symbolic targets that they have easy, ready access to. And they’re not even hitting those targets with real success / possibly creating innocent collateral in the process.

We aren’t there yet.

I’m gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were referring to self-hosted Gitlab.

But really anything that lessens reliance on and centralization at Github is an improvement.

Well there you go kids, he just explicitly named exactly all the things you should be doing.

I’ve always pronounced it “In-jen-iks”. I blame Jurassic Park and it’s fictional biotech company InGen, but it does kinda also sound like “eugenics”. But I dunno man, if you want everyone to pronounce your software a specific way maybe spell it in a manner where the pronunciation is more obvious? Just a thought.

Good cop steps back and lets bad cop have a turn.

Yup. If there was an encrypted, federated solution that provided all of the services that proton does, even if half as polished, I’d absolutely consider switching. I’d even consider running my own node. All centralized solutions that see success also become over time the thing you want to flee.

I’m not on the exit proton bandwagon. All CEOs are awful and I don’t have the energy to do the vote-with-your-dollars ethical consumption dance every time we’re freshly reminded of that fact. Especially not with the only service out there that packages data integrity, privacy, and ease of use in a complete suite at the level that proton does.

Tofu scramble is pretty good. Firm or extra firm tofu block, slice and crumble into a bowl. 1 tbsp turmeric, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp garlic powder, mix. Cook in a pan on medium stirring occasionally, will turn yellow as it heats up. Then add key ingredient black salt (kala namak, a salt with a strong sulfur flavor) to taste. Mix in with your pan fry mix of choice, I like onion/garlic/serrano/mushroom/smoked paprika/chili powder/spinach/tomato and green pepper/cilantro added at the end. Serve with fruit and toast.

Sounds more like a Capcom problem than a Valve problem. Don’t build mobile optimization into your games, don’t make mobile sales.

I missed that phase because I was using Netscape.

MOST humans are not gonna ever be vegan/vegetarian unless forced.

Maybe. What about you, though?

Vegan here. Sticking to the two questions you asked before you got lost in scope creep and logical fallacy: I get my food from the supermarket, mostly. And it scales way better than animal ag because farming plants requires radically less resources per calorie than farming animals.

Just like most other positive decisions in the world, it’s not revolutionary on it’s own. Nor is it aiming to be, nor does it need to be.

I don’t think any of the proxies or frontends have a good way around it yet, and google is clearly using it as a way to fuck with said frontends. Best practice suggestion: Every time you get cockblocked by something like this, you must send at least one friendly DM or message to the content creator suggesting they at least put a second copy of their content on a decentralized platform.

Percentage population increases since 1961:

Humans: 161.85%
Farmed chickens: 1,071.43%
Farmed pigs: 375%
Farmed sheep and goats: 275%
Cows: 178.61%

God dammit jesus fucking christ I was looking for an optimistic take where I showed you guys that farmed animal populations haven’t gone up as fast as the human population but I was WRONG, not only are there many more of us but on average each one of us is also having radically more animals tortured on our behalves. Shit. Everyone wants to be middle class and here we are in our western post middle class phase going “No please, it’s not what you think it is, we beg you” looking like absolute hypocrites. How do you convince the world to go vegan without looking like you’re merely asking them to forego the luxury that your own liberal society has been dumping on you your entire life?

It’s important to maintaining my self-image as a cool and aloof guy that you know I’m not doing the nice thing out of the goodness of my heart.

I do this, not because I’m courteous but because if I take one from the outdoor corrals I don’t have to wait behind three grannies slowly selecting carts from the inside corral.
