  • For those who don't want to click

  • The DNT flag amounted to the equivalent of a digital pinky swear from website operators. Oh they still tracked you? That's too bad.. South Park's rubbing nipples meme

  • If we stop teaching about LGBTQ garbage in school, we will not have any abuse, God will not allow it if we live a life he demands of us.

    Everything was pure and without abuse when the clergy was teaching kids 🙄

  • On the other hand, it makes it easy to find which apps aren't to be trusted with your data.

  • Nowhere, just one of the use-case I think RSS feeds could cover in a more privacy-respecting way.

  • I personally hate newsletters because

    1. my email inbox is already cluttered enough as it is
    2. I need to share my email to subscribe, which puts the balance of power into the hands of the sender at the expense of my privacy

    I'd rather have newsletters made available through RSS feeds, where I can subscribe and unsubscribe anonymously.

  • Now we just need a non-dairy whey-fortified milk alternative to call itself Milky Whey

  • Joe Biden judicial accelerationism speedrun moment

  • Our home isn't small (3 bedrooms, 1200sq ft) but with two kids that's decently sized.

    Getting something bigger would mean more surface to clean, a larger mortgage, more taxes to pay, and would require more stuff to not make it feel empty.

    I like where I am right now, so no need to upscale.

    Even my land isn't very big, it takes me about 45 minutes with a manual push lawnmower and the grass trimmer to cut it all.

    If I was living alone, I'd probably get one of those tiny house and optimize the shit out of it, like one of these (but not on a trailer) and with a bit more space for a washing machine & dryer, then try to make it more eco-friendly by using solar energy for some of the components inside.

  • how people celebrated Bin Laden’s death

    Ouch, some deep introspection is required if you get to a point in life where you, being an insurance CEO and being killed lead to the same kind of mob reactions as Bin Laden's death.

  • VHS tapes, and having to rewind them.

    Although the ability to record almost anything on a cheap VHS tape was nice, now everything has copy protection.

  • It would be safer to use a Linux flavor and run the apps you need using Wine/Proton..

  • I use it for a couple of coins and a tiny box cutter. Silly me.

  • Two games I anticipated came out on Steam only, so I asked the developers if they planned to sell on alternative platforms and they did, but considering the game isn't full done yet (they released it in Early Access) Initially I was annoyed, but after their response (they want to focus their effort on the game before adding the extra burden of managing multiple update channels) I understand why they did, on top of being a small team.

    I decided to wait for one (came out on GOG on v1.0) and for the second one I decided to buy it on Steam right away since there's still a lot of work left.

  • I just wait, not like I don't have a ton of games to play with. Plus I get to buy it for cheap later on.
