Personally, I don't really go out socially. Like ever.

So once a week or so when my friends go out to the bars and spend $50 on food and beers, I might spend a $20 on a game that's on sale and get the same or better return on my time and money for it. If I buy a game for $20 and spend five hours on it and never touch it again, that's about equivalent to a night out with the boys, both in dollars spent and in hours enjoyed.

I've built up a collection of indie games on this mindset and I don't see any of it as wasted. If I get a lower return than $5 per hour enjoyed then I'll refund the game or not recommend it for others. But I have a ton of games that have kept me well entertained for 3-6 days for the price of a beer and a kebab. I consider that good value.

According to Adblock Plus' own blog post about the matter:

With Manifest V3, Adblock Plus is required to limit how many filter lists we have available to users. We’ll have the ability to offer up to 100 pre-installed filter lists that you can turn on and off depending on your preferences. From these available filter lists, users will be able to choose 50 that they can keep turned on at any given time. We’re working to ensure that popular filter lists our users love are supported by us, and that any updates to these lists are brought to you by frequent new releases of the extension. This does mean that initially, our users will no longer be able to subscribe to any filter lists outside of what is provided in the extension.

Re: Element Blocker:

The Block element feature will continue to exist even after the Manifest V3 version of Adblock Plus officially launches. Manifest V3 does require us to adhere to limits with filter lists and user created blocking rules, so there’s a chance things may change in the future. However, we don’t have details quite yet! If you have any more questions about this or anything else, our support team are the best people to ask at support@adblockplus.org.

So this says to me that baked in filter lists are now required, custom lists will not work, and Block Element is probably functioning illegally if it is indeed still functioning though that may change in the future in either direction.

Changing blocker behavior on specific sites is the only thing in that list that I see UBO disallow and ABP not mention at all. Not sure why that was changed.

Then you have bad opsec and security holes.

This matters more for some industries than others. But this attitude lets a malicious employee install basically whatever they want in service of "the job" and you won't even know you're being breached until after it's all over.

There is not a single piece of profanity in this entire post, get the fuck out of here with that bullshit

This speech stayed on topic for an entire seven sentences, Trump hasn't been this coherent since 2014.

Death by potassium overdose causes runaway cell death. When a cell dies and ruptures it releases potassium which then ruptures and kills other cells.

Essentially, melting your flesh off your body from the inside.

I'll take getting shot, thanks.

I don't have a whole network setup like the rest of you guys, but I've been naming my desktop pc's SHODAN ever since I built my first one. Secondary/partner's pc is named XERXES. I'll probably never change them.

It is pointless, it was always pointless and always will be. That's the point. Before the internet kids were stealing their dad's or brother's Hustlers and Playboys. For most of the internet's time so far you just click a button that says "yes I'm over 18 I pinky promise". In the future of the internet any effort to seriously implement age verification short of submitting a DNA sample is going to be bypassed. Trying to find porn is one of only like four things that teenage boys think about, you're not going to stop that signal. Ask anyone born before 2000 about forest porn and they'll probably have a story about finding a couple magazines or a VHS stashed in the woods somewhere near where they lived as a kid.

Best case, you just drive them off the mainstream sites that verify age and onto shadier websites that don't. Or the kid that steals his dad's ID to watch porn starts downloading and distributing them on USBs to everyone in his school, makes like $800, and then gets arrested, now this kid has an unnecessary sex crime on his record because the government really wants to know when you're jerking off. It's all just pointless performatism that causes more problems than it solves. And that's not even getting into the fact that a nefarious government, which we definitely have here in America, can use that information to pinpoint especially LGBT folks via their porn viewing habits.

So at best it's stupid and useless and at worst it's going to get people killed.

Is it? Is it really? Please, elaborate on how that is the case. We're listening.

In a better timeline this is one of the many things a Neuralink could be good for

From all the information I've been able to gather, all signs seem to point toward "being born"

Based still has the innate connotation of doing your own thing without caring how others perceive you, which can still be a crackhead kind of trait.

The fact that they're not even good at being evil somehow pisses me off even more at the whole situation

Agreed. But we're in the shit now, and the only way out is through. We can't afford to only have the country mostly break down but continue to limp along for another few decades. If we want to make a real difference we are going to have to change some fundamental assumptions about American society. The only way that happens is to have enough people care to make the change, and the only way that happens is by having a majority of Americans become personally hurt by this situation. We have proven time and again that we have a remarkable talent for ignoring anything that doesn't affect us personally. So now I'm in favor of big, horrible things that personally hurt everyone in the country because that's what is required to make people wake up and open their eyes to the reality that exists around them.

I do not wish any suffering on anyone beyond what is required to make them see. I find it upsetting and immoral that this suffering is what is required to make them see. But this has been a problem for a very long time and we are now at a crossroads where this all comes to a head and explodes. If people won't pay attention to anything that doesn't hurt them personally then you're going to need to hurt them personally to make them pay attention. Simple as.

The world of Morrowind, in aggregate, is beautiful and sometimes genuinely breathtaking.

Individual models may look like deep fried asshole, but they come together to form an aesthetic that I personally like quite a lot.

No, no, you just deport the battery so it explodes in someone else's country.

Then why are you trying to say that Nazi Germany was directly created by communism if they never practiced communism?

Never expected this to be so relevant
