  • It's a firewall access prompt. In true MS fashion it won't tell you what ports it is opening.

    So by accepting you're not giving the app any permissions like say read-write permission or administrative access, but if the app should have access to a port on the network.

    Standard ports for the web are 443 (HTTPS, TCP) and 80 (HTTP, TCP). Torrents use other ports and a combination of TCP and UDP packets.

    Search for "firewall" in the start menu. The firewall manager shows you all the ports an IPs that are allowed or blocked, along with ports and protocols.

  • No, that's not it. You don't need all the gunk I wrote about to have commerce. In fact, you can still have commerce without it.

    You strike me as one of those guys who thinks capitalism defines the concept of money and markets.

  • What's that? Somebody thinks that a different president is going to stop the drones and bombings!? Like they're not tied up in deals?! Like if a third party candidate won the process would just magically stop?!?!

    Bush made the bombs drop, Obama made the bombs drop, Trump made the bombs drop, Biden made the bombs drop... wtf do you think the next president will do? The CIA tells them what's what and that's it.

    Vote Biden, or get a republican president. Your call.

  • Step 1) open up the emergency case

    Step 2) take out the bottle

    Step 3) take off the safety cap (careful: very corrosive)

    Step 4) Tilt head backwards

    Step 5) pour and apply the solution liberally to your eyeballs

  • Assuming you've gotten LibreWolf from a proper, verified source (GitHub, package manager like chocolatey), then there shouldn't be any issues.

    But, to be on the safe side, check out your extensions and also plugins to verify nothing untowards has snuck it's way on to your system.

    You could of course go into the Windows firewall, note what permissions LibreWolf has, then allow it and check again to see what was added.

    But, chances are, LibreWolf (don't use it myself) asked to access either magnet links or other ports other than 443 or 80. If LibreWolf has built-in torrent support or you've installed an extension that does, it will require some other ports to function.

  • It's clearly a bag of farts with cum stains suspended in the air for a photo.

    As in it's Silvio Berlusconi.

  • Listen, if you could throw a rock at all people with daddy issues, the new TikTok trend would be having a bruised and swollen face.

    Star Trek in general is stuffed with daddy and mommy issues.

  • Uh oh, spaghetti-o's! Vendor lock-in.

  • This is the neuance. Could there be a fair form of capitalism? It depends upon the systems and the people that run them. Centralisation of ownership is the next step beyond the centralisation of power, because after a while they become intrinsically the same. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, absolute wealth corrupts absolutely.

    But also, the stock markets which can be beneficial are also forms of glorified gambling where the house always wins, the commodification of the housing market, the silly notion of shell and shelf companies (easiest, most effective way of side stepping regulations and laundering money), debt slavery, the price gouging of life saving medicine, the race to the bottom where costs, quality of product and salaries need to be cut, where the line between product and service becomes thinner for every day to the point where you retain less and less ownership by each year, which you can't really blame anyone for, because all of these systems are designed to be a constant, churning, soul killing rat race, turning the pace of life to a literally unlivable speeds, which also reveals that even the ones up in the hierarchy become degenerate with greed, mostly because they live so far up that their human brains can't fathom the effect they have down the chain, because it goes against their interests.

    Instead of then going on another witch hunt, we need to look at these systems and the effects they have on the human psyche.

    But hey, that's just my take.

  • Biden sucks... but vote for him. I mean the two party system sucks, first passed the post sucks, gerrymandering sucks... but the republican party sucks even more. I'd rather have a dottering old liberal than an outright fascist, and at the same time the system won't be reformed because of an election cycle. People need to organise, get off their lazy butts. But since you ain't doing that, there's only one thing to do.

    Vote Biden. Don't be dumb. It's like the only sane alternative, no matter how insane that sounds.

  • TBF Europeans just went wild with SMS. Omg. Nowadays it's all WhatsApp, which I am not happy with.

  • So you have two low-quality mics that can distort your discord call twice as effective.

    Innovation!

  • This, right here. As long as Xi and his government pines for the return to the "central kingdom", Europeans are going to continue having flashbacks.

    Don't touch those borders.

  • haha the catholics appropriated juletide, a festival of fattening, because they thought pagans were so gross they needed to appropriate the festivities and set the pagans on fire.

  • Listen, I'm never even putting my Jeffrey boner away.

  • It wasn't me.

  • Physical attraction is a tingling of the spine. It's basically relying on the animal in all of us. Not that it's inherently a bad or good thing, it's just a fact. I believe "young, dumb and full of cum" is the phrase, that or the misnomer: "you can't fuck a great personality", exclaimed by probably many a young boy who want to "spread their seed". All of these terms speak to a time when hormones were raging and the cup filleth over, when self discipline needs to be taught so that the young minds don't run amok.

    But the fact is, you can fuck a great personality. Emotional attraction, intellectual attraction, or even spiritual attraction, often gets overlooked - especially in the younger years. It's something that becomes more important as your grown older.

    The act of physical intimacy however is exactly that, intimate. It's a matter of trust, communication, a melding of minds and bodies, something that knows no age. Attraction can be based on several factors, physical attractiveness being only one of them, and can be the way you focus on cultivating your emotions to not prioritize physical attractiveness as much. This is hard in the world we live in, as beauty standards and vanity run rampant.

    After all this I'd have to say yes, your grandparents might be fucking - like right now. Give your grandad a cockblock call, and I think his fist might be attracted to your face. At least that never changes.

  • Here's the repo for xserver. It's basically a collective effort between developers who represent certain companies, among them Oracle - and RedHat.

  • Omg yes, I hate those. I'm sitting here thinking it's probably one of those simple things that scares people away from Linux.."Oh god, I see black text on white background. Abort, abort, ABORT!!"
