  • The left-hand side mix of utilitarian architectures is interesting.

  • We had a smaller version of this in our childhood; the contents were somehow halfway between chocolate and chewing gum.

  • 7 years? You're optimistic. I think that already happened years ago.

  • Isn't it important if the surface is reflective or not, regardless of colour?

    And something (vague and uninformed) tells me that emitting bright pictures isn't the same as "being brightly colored". Also that LCD/e-ink displays are significantly different here.

    Good question, I will remember to come back here and see who has the best answer (none satisfy me 100% so far).

  • I can confirm. But a couple years back, there were alternatives to that (none of which privacy-friendly) - if you can find the tiny, easy to overlook link "try something else".

    It doesn't even have to be a long time. Just changing IPs in a way they find suspicious is enough.

    Same for Google btw and probably all large US American platforms.

  • edit: you never logged in in 10+ years? Unless you know there's sensitive stuff in there, leave it. You probably won't even be able to log in without going through major hoops.


    I decided to actively delete my account a couple of years back. I did NOT want to scan my ID, as they demanded, but there were always other options. None of which appealed to me since they were clearly designed to get one last bit of valuable info for my shadow profile, but I went with the option to have 3 friends vouch for me.

    After that I was told that it would take 30 days or so and trying to log in during that time would be interpreted as canceling my deletion. I never did.

  • The Arch Wiki used to have some elaborate tricks on Firefox profile syncing, and some software to support it, maybe you should check that out (but the actual software FF uses is or used to be FOSS as well).

  • As a German who lives in Finland: bravissimo!

  • They expected her to humbly step aside when her uber came, when she saw the regal couple-to-be!

    Yeah I hate that shit too. My guess is it's a variation of "2 people walking side by side on a sidewalk automaticallly have priority over a single" - wtf, no, walk in line if there's people coming.

  • I love the name. Sounds like something edible. Maybe it just reminds me of GNUtella. A Taler, btw, is an old currency (mostly present in fairytales these days) and etymologically related to dollar.

  • The analysis, which has not been peer-reviewed or published in a medical journal ... the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and women's health experts told AFP the findings are based on faulty methodology and do not supplant years of studies indicating the medication is safe when used as prescribed.

    We knew they were idiots since Covid. We knew things like this were going to happen the moment Trump won 2.0. We knew it even more when he started hiring social media influencers as leaders of national institutions. I'm all out of snark.

  • If I squint really really hard I can see how an AI would interpret your post as advice on how to perform an act of cyberterrorism 😁

    Seriously, you're better off here anyhow.

  • Not defending Trump in any way but I could imagine the Saudis did this of their own initiative, to please him.

    Bit difficult to tell if all OP provided is a picture & a headline.

  • I also like shows that follow a story arc that has a beginning and an end. A show that comes to a natural end. Bam, done, that was great entertainment, emotions and attachments have been resolved. Happy end or sad, this is it. Moving on.

    Instead they try to retain viewers with dumb (and I really mean dumb) cliffhangers, never committing to actually killing a character so they can bring them back if need be etc. ...

    There are exceptions of course, but not many shows deliver (lasting) quality beyond two seasons.

  • What good is such dedicated doomerism going to do?

    As the other person said, it's not a question of If but When. Tyrants always accelarate their own fall. Maybe I'm too optimistic demanding that everybody who benefitted should pay, but apart from that it isn't unrealistic, historically, globally. Countries have been known to implode. You are right, even that doesn't make the oligarchs go away, but it shows them that there are limits.
