For example, I’ve noticed that some websites start throwing captchas at me or even just straight-up refuse to load with 403: unauthorized errors because I have my router set up to load-balance across two Internet connections. (At least, that’s my guess as to why it’s happening.)

I maintain several multi-wan commercial setups and they don’t have this problem. I obviously don’t know what your setup is but I’d guess something is wrong with how its handling flows / connections. Once a connection is established between your edge and an internet resource that flow should remain “stuck” to whatever wan port it started with and it sounds like that isn’t happening.

How do you get “USA” from one neighborhood in one city in one state?

The same tailscale that announced last week that they are going to start charging?

I went over and looked at the peertube FAQ and nope, there’s no monetization plan. Their reasoning for that is consistent with their goals but it is a hurdle to creators moving to the platform.

When are they moving all to freetube or something?

Unless I’m missing something Freetube is a client. So it wouldn’t be Jeff moving to freetube it would be you using freetube to watch his content on YT.

I’m guessing you meant peertube instead of freetube and your answer there is “When they can get paid.” Making content takes time and costs money and YT pays creators like Jeff for doing it.

I dislike YT alot but there’s financial decisions at play here that can’t really be argued with.

Ah yes, the classic “lOOk aT tHE TOlEraNt LEfT” argument.

The person I was replying too didn’t mention Left or Right and neither did I.

It’s a false equivalency.

Silencing your ideological opponents is ethically and morally inferior and I don’t care what your supposed motivation is.

My ideological opponents are already silencing speech.

Uh huh. I can fire up Social Media and find endless content openly discussing the entire spectrum of Political,Cultural, and Economic beliefs. Nearly all of that is openly discussed on Mainstream Media as well. You aren’t being silenced.

As long as fascists exist they must be silenced.

Define “fascist”.

When they seize power, they will not do you the courtesy of allowing you to speak…

Which is precisely what you yourself are proposing. Congratulations, you are rubbing elbows with the very people you claim to despise.

If you do not tolerate dissent then you are ethically and morally inferior.

Censorship of speech is a powerful tool. Why, if you have the true conviction of your beliefs, would you fight with one hand behind your back?

Yes, but have you considered the outcome of everyone doing this?

Moreover, I’ve seen no evidence in my lifetime that letting my ideological opponents speak leads to positive results.

Mmmmm, yes. All ideological opponents should be silenced. This is clearly the way.

Seriously, if this is what you believe then you are clearly stating that you have no interest in a Free Society. You are literally placing yourself in the same group with every other Tyrant, Authoritarian, and Fascists who needs to be resisted.

Free Societies must tolerate dissent, it is a foundational requirement.

It is fun, but it’s much smaller than I imagined.

It’s a product of its time. Oblivion’s game size was right at the 4.7G limit of what would fit on single layer DVD-5.

Oblivion Gates

Ugh, arguably the most boring and repetitive part of the game. Such a wasted opportunity too as they could have made each Oblivion gate be a hellscape mirror of the area that it spawned in (including towns). That would have been a fairly small amount of additional data for a huge gain in game play.

They suck, don’t do any more of them then you have too.

Slackware 3.1.

You’re not the person the meme is targeting. Way to ignore the first 3 panels.

You are correct, this wasn’t targeted at me and I didn’t fully absorb the content before replying to it. I’m going through a rough patch and it clouded me for a bit.

Should we also show “empathy” to Klansmen who joined up because they claim to feel disenfranchised by society?

There’s a chasm of difference between empathizing with a Klansman and empathizing with people who followed a normal, and I use that word loosely, cultural track. The two are so distinctly different that comparing them is absurd.

Your idea of empathy is why the Andrew Tates of this world can thrive.

That guy and the way he lives his life are disgusting, do not associate me with them.

Every lonely man who doesn’t fit the played out internet stereotype of an incel. You likely see several of them a day.

Whew Lad, you must be projecting.

I’m a man, I’m lonely. Why? Because I spent the last 30 years building a career and my social circle is tiny. My personal hobbies and interest took a back seat to building my company, helping my wife through a 2nd and then 3rd Masters Degree, and raising my Son.

Personal Hygiene? Showered at least every day. Dress Well? I’m in collars, slacks, and dress shoes at least 5 days a week. Smell Good? Yeah, got it covered. Smile? Yeah, got it covered. Show Respect? Yeah, got it covered. Practice Good Manners? Pretty rich coming from you.

Go outside and stop blaming women for everything.

You have a child’s understanding of the world around and lack empathy. Go read a book.

This meme is pathetic and offensive.

Tesla employee or not they’re almost certainly correct, the barriers to entry in the automobile market are very high. Tesla made it, barely, through leveraging enormous amounts of Venture Capital. BYD made it by using even more enormous amounts of Government Funding plus Venture Capital and those were both done in areas that already had stupendously high levels of ICE auto manufacturing.

Mexico has none of that and they’re competing with all of the established players. I wish them success but it’s extremely unlikely that they will succeed.

By that logic…

Sure, why not but I’ve been fighting this notion that all libertarians are An-Caps for 20 years and the rise of the MC has turned an uphill battle into a nearly impossible one.

There’s really no question that the MC are owned and operated by the string pullers of the Republican Party. They’re doing it in order to to keep the people who do care about Small Government and Individual Liberty from leaving the Republican Party over the MAGA horseshit.

Eh, arguing is fairly pointless and it’s fair for them to point out that with the MC in charge of the LP the other types of libertarians no longer matter.

May I ask the name of this place? I’d like to pull it up on Google Maps and have a look at the layout.

Yeah, typical Americans - won’t look elsewhere for solutions…

We have those all over the place. Large National Parks like Yosemite are a special corner of hell because you quite literally have hordes of tourists from all over the world visiting on a daily basis. Randos who’ve rarely ever left the city see a can like that and may not know how to use it. In a place like Yosemite that rando could easily be from anywhere in the world.

Meanwhile I know of dozens of these kinds of cans located in some very small parks and camping areas here in Wyoming and no one has any problems with them at all.

Us “Americans” have those cans already and many of us know how to use them. You’ll need to find some other kind of shit to sling around.

Nearly everyone I know is still using SMS, even if they’re also messaging using another app.
