  • Weird, very weird. Not demure, not mindful.

  • Relevant to your interests: As a straight, male mountain biker, I swear like three quarters of the cute women I meet and get interested in are lesbians. (And the other 25% are out biking with their husband, boyfriend, etc.)

  • Click-bait titling at its best. Apparently their attempt at controversy boils down to this:

    In a short snippet aired Thursday afternoon, however, Harris was shown answering questions about her changing stance on certain policy issues, including immigration and fracking. Harris said that her values haven’t shifted over the years, but sometimes her policy beliefs have shifted as she’s gotten more perspective on issues.

  • Pretty much we are a corporate welfare state at this point. Electing officials you think will pass or enforce laws to bring them to heel is your best bet. (People like AOC are preferred, as she has never accepted contributions from corporations to her campaign.)

  • As an example of this, I believe SexyCyborg got in trouble for reporting on leaks via people's 3rd party Chinese language keyboards. So her theory is that the keyboard apps people had installed leaked data when Hong Kong protesters were communicating with the press, rather than the actual Signal app. But… as stated above, people have to take responsibility for their device and in this case, they had chosen to install apps with leak issues into the communication process.

  • How are you using the internet without uBlock Origin? o_O

    (I also recommend Google Sign-in Popup Blocker on Firefox. And as others have mentioned, Reader mode is nice.)

  • MacOS but it was better about 10.6 or so than now…

  • Cool trailer and all, but they seem to have copied the interiors, the exteriors and even the back story directly from Dredd? o_O

  • Man the one on the right just hunkers down in the middle of the trail, no roosting! And they taste dusty when they fly up and hit you in the face while you're mountain biking at night.

  • Or… trying to tell women what to do with their bodies is weird, like the rest of the Christofascist Project 2025 platform JD is running on.

  • Some meme stuff, hexbear and lemmygrad basically.

  • Probably my yahoo mail account. I've mostly transitioned off it, but a few things still come to it and it predates even my gmail account (which I barely ever use either). Apple ID's Hide My Email ability has basically rendered all the other ones pointless though since I can just generate a new fake email address whenever I want to register for something fishy. I wish phone numbers worked the same way.

  • These are a bit unique from the lists everyone else has, I think:

    • Lemmy Keyboard Navigation (like the kbd shortcuts from RES)
    • Google Popup Blocker (stop the annoying log in with Google popups everywhere on the web)
    • OneTab (this one lets you collapse a whole window of tabs down into a list in the OneTab tab that you can later reexpand into a window again when you re-attack whatever subject all the tabs were about)

    These are the more standard ones that everyone seems to run:

    • UBlock Origin
    • Reddit Enhancement Suite
    • 2FAS Extension
    • BitWarden
  • I hope like hell the sets of questions were randomized, because if they weren't, they were tweaked by the surveyors beforehand to try and force a particular result.

    Like the AI question was paired with some incredibly crappy options like "A browser that runs 2x slower than your current browser". Obviously they want you to click that option as least wanted and leave the AI development alone (if that wasn't a randomized grouping).

    Similarly, it looked like they were trying to decide which feature to sacrifice in support of AI dev in later questions, because all 3 would be things I enjoy much more than AI, but I have to rate one as least wanted.

    EDIT: OK, thanks for all the responses everyone! Looks like my pairing of AI and 2x slower was just a bad random selection inducing extreme paranoia on my part. Very happy to hear that.

  • Why are people still using a site bought and run by a guy supporting the rise of Christian fascism solely for the purposes of getting tax breaks on his ill-gotten billions?

  • Not available on Firefox. Nope!

  • Hopefully, citizen petitions are allowed on the ballot in your state, because it's a fairly easy one to get on the ballot that way—a ton of people want it. Otherwise you'll have to lobby your state congress critters, which unfortunately is not as easy…

  • Let's put it this way, as long as Trump doesn't win, I'm fine with the result. But given that the only viable candidate right now is Biden, or possibly Kamala Harris, who is already on the ticket anyway, I'll be voting Biden simply to insure that Trump doesn't win.

    And if you think there isn't that much difference between the two, read some summaries of what Trump plans to do via Project 2025.
