Don't leave us hanging. Was the wolf hybrid on Christmas Eve too?

Fixing that bug where if you do something like upvote someone while typing a comment, your comment gets deleted.

Stop making "Undetermined" the default language for posts and comments, so my feed stops getting spammed by foreign language posts that didn't bother to correctly tag themselves.

Allow blocking entire instances (I think this might be in the latest update which my instance hasn't yet migrated to?).

Beyond that, the only thing I really miss from reddit is being able to open the comment thread for a post and read literally hundreds of comments. Gets a bit underwhelming seeing so many front-page posts with 1 or 2 comments.

Which SNES emulator do you use?

Kinda funny that William Henry Harrison managed 41st place, considering he was only president for a few weeks in 1841. Considering the rankings were voted on by "self-styled experts", part of me wonders if they did that on purpose.

Also took me a moment to realize why the list includes 46 presidents (up to Biden) but only has 45 rankings. For anyone else who's wondering, it's because of Grover Cleveland's non-consecutive terms making him both the 22nd and 24th president.

The word incel has evolved beyond its literal meaning to refer to a specific subset of people.

Also I may be wrong here - but I think the term originated as a self-designation by a group of openly misogynist men? So even when the term originated it would have had that connotation.

Either way, there's a big difference between someone who can't get laid an an incel, even if the terms don't reflect that difference.

I mean, literally anyone who's used a bidet before will know from daily experience that your comments are just wrong. It's not difficult to dry off, in fact it's pretty simple, and it uses much less toilet paper than the old way. The primary purpose of a bidet for most people also isn't TP conservation - that's just one of several nice side-effects.

I'm gonna duck out of any further replies here though because, frankly, you seem more interested in pushing this weird narrative you've settled on (in an old / dead thread, no less) than actually discussing it, and I can think of about a hundred things I'd rather be doing with my time. You do you, clean your butt whichever way makes the most sense to you.

Virtually all of us use both. Bidet will clean you and TP will dry you.

The caption opened off-screen for me and I was convinced it was a mummified mouse or baby squirrel before I read it.

Is this actually true? Rowling herself aside, I don't think I've ever seen an openly transphobic Harry Potter fan - granted I also don't spend a huge amount of time in Harry Potter forums and stuff.

I played both. Both are excellent games, and both also have flaws.

I think Zelda was by far the better game - HL isn't really on the same level as it at all, design-wise, story-wise, or or in terms of things to do.

HL's strength is definitely the world itself - the Hogwarts and Hogsmeade areas in particular are both incredibly well done and very faithful to the source material. The other areas are just alright.

I'd say HL's weaknesses become most apparent if you're a completionist. Things can get very repetitive if you're going for 100%. I did, and I honestly think you'll like it a lot more if you just don't.

It's still lots of fun though. Zelda was my most played game in 2023 and HL was kind of far behind, and everything else combined would still probably be a distant third.

I absolutely agree with the other people saying HL is generic and propped up by the IP. But for me that was enough.

Bidet / washlet. Your life will forever be divided into a time before you had one, and a time after you had one. You may no longer enjoy vacations because of the lack of one.

This seems like a strict improvement over the old situation, in a way that should be directly felt by lots and lots of people every single day.

I don't get the urge to take a needlessly cynical take on news like this. Yes, the system is still flawed, but yes, it's better than it was before. Take the win and move on to the next reform.

I'm a 65% user and it's great. The only keys right of the main block that I ever really use are delete, PrtSc, and the arrow keys - so all a full size keyboard does for me is force me to awkwardly bend my arms to the left as I type. I especially dislike numpads on laptop keyboards for that reason.

And I work with numbers a lot. I just prefer the number row. I have remapped the rightmost column of keys to more useful functions as well.

I like the idea of this (and it's been in stable for over a month) but in practice I never use it. It leaves way too many things in.

One easy example is discord images. Go to discord, find an image you or someone else posted, and open it in firefox. After the extension they add a bunch of extra stuff on. Firefox will leave it all on even if you select "Copy without site tracking", while you can easily just manually copy up to the extension and no further.

I get that they have to strike a balance between removing parts of the link and preserving functionality, and that they can't always know what extra data in the link is being used for - but I think that just means this is something that'll always be better done manually.

Was it even still around? I can think of a few times in the past few months where I've tried to find the cached link to a google result and failed. Most recently just two days ago, when a site I wanted to use was down for maintenance.

Thanks for the speculation. It still seems a bit odd, especially considering he's asked the board to give him a 25% stake in the company recently.

I wonder if he did anything like back loans with those options, and if he did, what the consequences would be now that he's not going to have them anymore?

Thanks. Do you happen to know why he wouldn't have executed the options before this suit? Like you mention they expire - surely he never had any intention of letting them expire though? Was there some benefit to waiting them out?

I saw the Youtube banner telling me it detected an ad blocker and wouldn't let me watch a lot for about a week. Now it's been over two months with nothing but smooth sailing on μBlock Origin. I'm even back to being able to block Shorts from appearing on my sub feed, where before it seemed like any YT-specific filters would let them detect the blocker.

So since he hasn't executed on the options, there's nothing he has to actually pay back, but he also won't be allowed to exercise those options and purchase what would have been $56 billion worth of dirt cheap stocks?

I also assume that calculations of his net worth did take the options into account, so assuming the order stands, it's effectively an immediate $56 billion hit to those calculations?
