  • I mean, finding ways around that is the whole point of Posts like this one?

    Personally, I use different browsers for different purposes on a rando Android phone(+vpn for torrents). I watch this community to try to stay abreast of current privacy/security issues, but I don't make much effort to live it, as I'll go dark long before I'll really have anything to hide.

    Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go bitch at the librarians again, for disposing of the microfiche after they digitized it.

  • burner SMS. Burner dummy Google account strictly for age-restricted content. I don't really see what's to lose?

    Also, you can turn off 2FA, so the number is only "needed" if you forget your password and/or lose access to the backup e-mail.

  • The woman doing the suing did so on behalf of the estate of a man. Women disenfranchising women via patriarchy isn't "women having the rights they should".

    I despise id-pol in general, but this is basic stuff, and historical disenfranchisement NOT being used to distract from the failures of Capitalism, for once. Yes, Gloria Steinem was a CIA psyop, but that doesn't invalidate the points feminism makes.

  • Shiiit ... I'm just over hear in the midwest US, slightly relieved to learn that Crypo.com is based in Singapore.

    That said, how the hell is Europe still guzzling this cloud kool-aide? Is a Jelly-fin, LDAP/etc, and/or Database server really so much more than cities of millions' infrastructure peeps can wrap their minds around?

    Oh right, ars is US-centric. The point of the article is to make the EU sound like helpless morons. Guess I might have to edit this comment after I read the article ... nevermind, any additional nuance is down to the number of words they spent saying little of consequence. The myopia is more big-tech and cloud-centric than anything along national lines.

  • Sadly, in most mythos, ridiculously good looks are a pre-requisite. I'm glad you have your own ideas, but I doubt the fiction is thoroughly saturated with that concept in a world where vampires exist and would have contributed no-small-part to the zeitgeist on purpose or accident, simply by nature of their long lives. On the other hand, I didn't call myself ugly or anything.

  • *Yawn. * Attacking Trumps character does nothing to convince anyone to vote for the other guy. It's a distraction from those fascist policies which the Democratic party doesn't really want to change, which is basically all of them.

    Guatanamo was supposed to be closed TWO Democratic presidents ago, Student loans forgiven four years ago, and neither of them did much of anything for the Israeli/Palestine two-state solution backed by George W BUSH, of all people.

    HOW THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BACK ONE PARTY THAT’S BEEN GLADHANDING GENOCIDE OVER ANOTHER? Not Happening

  • ... and that's what the non-leftist "leftists" don't get. There's no point emphasising a talking point from a conversation that's already been had.

    There's no point addressing Trump from the angle of "Well i would never vote for him because..." That's great, but see, the rest of us asked why we should vote for the OTHER guy/gal when their party is gonna change fuck-all.

    Not Happening

  • Whatever, my ass. My fatherly advice is to keep parenting-adjacent things and that kinda shit seperate.

    I have nothing against sugar-babies, bimbos, kept men, what-have-you, but combining it with asking how to use serious tools or navigate painful life decisions? Fuck off. Bad enough that so much porn out there is incest-themed.

  • The Executive Branch's (ie, the President's) capacity to felonize anyone is precisely why we can't keep felons out of public office. Meanwhile, millions of felons who have paid their debt to society, and more, remain unable to vote.

    I hate the fact that so-called leftists are still using the felon thing as a talking point. At least it gives you neo-liberals/neo-cons a way to out yourselves I guess.

  • Hey now, one of my worst nightmares would be encountering a Vampire who wasn't offended/didn't notice me enough to end me or turn me. Sadly, I'm not catching their attention with my good looks.

  • JFC, I just finished up-grading my daughter's desktop and setting up all her games. The only things I've downloaded from the Microsoft store were so I could retrieve her Xbox game-saves and import them to Steam or GOG-versions of those games.

    Shit like this is gonna drive us to Bazzite sooner rather than later, and no, I do NOT mean "SteamOS".
