  • Sounds like you’re not in capitalist USA.

  • using e-codes

    What’s an e-code?

  • The VPN problem sounds strange to me because from what I’ve seen WireGuard has essentially become the de facto standard (which is native to Linux).

  • Yeah, I used to be a typical Apple fanboy circa 2010, always watching the WWDC like I’m going to church.

    Keeping up with Apple over the past several years has been very hit or miss, and watching it yesterday just kind of pissed me off.

  • I feel the fuck out of this, don’t give a shit if carnists want to get upset that I’m upset at companies promoting killing, raping and stealing from animals.

    There’s a grocer here that sends coupons that are only for their meat department—animal welfare aside it’s astounding to me just how tone deaf promoting choking our dying planet with animal agriculture is in 2025.

    Edit: Downvoted by the hypocrites and the hive mind, big shocker

  • What industry are you in that summer becomes so easy to work in?

  • I’m like you: I don’t care if no one is around. People act like it’s some force of nature to muster the strength to signal.

  • I think not knowing how roundabouts work is all over the US. Here is my part of the country they put up stop signs at the roundabouts—does it not occur to them that it defeats the entire purpose of having it?

    If you ever go to Tijuana though they can be a lot of fun.

  • Oh it’s just a waste product so let’s create more demand for it by creating a bunch of products around it. Is it considered a waste product if you’re literally selling it as a product? Leather is “just a waste product” too, let’s encourage people to buy more of it because that makes sense.

  • Oh wow, I feel like a moron now. I never could figure out why it would be “for wind.”

  • Because for whatever reason people need to find more ways to fuck with animals. Despite animal agriculture completely destroying the environment, causing deforestation not to mention an array of health problems people feel the need to find more uses for dead animals.

  • What? I was watching the protests live and the Waymo vehicles catching fire wasn’t caused by smoke canisters, lol.

  • What the fuck is a parasol?

    Edit: I looked it up and now I understand. Does the word happen to come from Spanish? Parasol would mean “for the sun” much like other words like parabrisas.

  • I always get stuck with the cursed cart but I roll with it. In a crowded store on the weekend nothing is more fun than power walking and doing extreme maneuvers with a loud as fuck cart.

  • I spent the entire day on the Citizen app.

  • This is one of those things that if you really want to do it, you’ll have to live with the consequences.

    I’m an American that VPNs everything first to my VPS then down a double hop commercial VPN tunnel that finally exits in Switzerland. DNS traffic also travels over that VPN tunnel so you’ll rightly guess that my DNS is rather slow too.

    What I do is I run a resolver on the VPS (physically near me) that aggressively prefetches commonly queried DNS records. After years of using Unbound I found Blocky to be much, much faster (especially with huge blocklists). It’s to the point now where sure, it’s slower than a “normal” internet connection but it doesn’t feel slow to me anymore.

  • Oh yeah, forgot about this. Each time I rotate accounts I’ve got to go on an anime blocking spree. Nothing against anime but the fans are creeps.

  • trying to start something

    Frankly their entire agenda is trying to start something.

  • That’s true and that all makes sense. I guess I kind of forget because generally the IP address is physically very near to where I’m testing from.

    I just switched to a Swiss DNS resolver regardless. I like Quad9’s malware blocking but it’s more important to me to keep the DNS server in Switzerland (despite it needing to query outside the country regardless).

  • Everyone’s so fucking obese here that most people don’t notice.
