FreeBSD! It's so simple, and so reliable

Reading the whole Bible (not just the feel-good parts) is what did it for me!

The only reason I can think of is to send a message

That reminds me of the striking Japenese bus drivers: https://japantoday.com/category/national/okayama-buses-strike-by-continuing-to-run-and-refusing-to-take-anyone%E2%80%99s-money

But that seems like a terrible strategy...

I mean.... we are talking about the Democrats. That's almost their motto.

I like supporting my creators. I don't pirate music, because Bandcamp is a thing, and I don't pirate video games because GoG is a thing. I also subscribe to Patreon and the like.

What I don't like is giving my money to shitty companies that try to tell me how I am allowed to manage/retain/consume that media.

lol, I used to do this to my cats all the time when they yawned.

Angry looks followed. Totally worth it.

I actually love email. While yes, this post is accurate, email is the most filterable communication system that I have. Since I have my own email-server, and I know how procmail rules work, I can tightly control who is allowed to contact me, and what folders their messages go into. It also has great crowd-sourcing of known spammers, that I can pull from to help me filter out spammy IP addresses.

Every other message system only has a "report spam" button, that is dependent on the service admins, and doesn't actually stop people from sending me annoying junk-mail.

No, I don't. In fact, their wikipedia page shows activity up to 2022

I wish this was true. I live in a fairly blue area, and I see them IRL all the time. I've been called a "mindless Trump drone" for saying that the Democrats should stop running unpopular candidates and unpopular policies. I've been told I was a monster for thinking that the Democrats shouldn't put up rapists as presidents, and that they shouldn't bomb children.

While I do think the blue cult is amplified online, I think it is, unfortunately, very real as well.

The Twilight Zone episode was Shatner, the Twilight Zone movie was Lithgow. Both are great and worth a watch

Not usually. I don't typically look too much at the instances I'm interacting on to know if they care about reports or not.

Did he say that? I remember him saying the opposite: "Nothing would fundamentally change"

I generally tag people who are being shitty. It's totally fine if they disagree with me about things, or downvote me or whatever. But if they just insult others, or openly lie/mislead, or yell at others without bringing an actual argument, then they start getting tags. After enough tags, they get blocked.

The good news is, you have no tags! :)

I've heard it's where all of the Reddit exiles signed up. I have no idea if it's true or not, but it sounds plausible. I remember when people pointed out factually inconvenient things about Biden on Reddit, they'd get downvote-bombed.

Remember when they got mad after Trump said "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters"? They said it was cult-like behavior by his followers.

But when Biden bombs children, or backs a genocide, it's somehow not cult-like behavior to keep supporting him.

awesome, I'll check that out

Chris Crawford was talking about this problem in 1992 and we still haven't learned anything

The Dragon Speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBrj4S24074

I couldn't find a transcription, and it covers a lot more than education, but it's a good speech. The relevant part starts at ~12:45

I forget where I heard the quote, but:

Stack Overflow is a great place to find answers. Stack Overflow is a terrible place to ask questions.
