Shit like this is why I use the most generic yankee cowboy aliases online.

The “first they came for…” quote is probably more damaging than people realize. They don’t systematically make more different people the problem. Everyone is fair game at all times whenever it’s opportune.

They appropriated /u/borat. It was an inactive account which was removed and given to the producers of the film to use for an AMA when it was released.

spez, kn0thin, and reddit the company as a whole have zero scruples. There are no rules but what they say at any given moment. It’s subject to change at any time.

For some reason I memory holed the first distro I used. There’s only vague recollection. I think it was SUSE or something. When Ubuntu came around I tried Linux again. That’s when I started to get the hang of things.

Sounds like peer pressure.

He’s a university professor. That’s their bread and butter. It’s a skill they learn to prevent undergrads from nodding off during their lectures.

I thought that’s gentoo.

Fun times. Always keep a fallback kernel installed. Even if you’re not compiling your own.

I had to learn what chroot is when I borked my own kernel compile and there wasn’t fallback.

• Sublime Text.
• Whatever build toolchain of the current thing I’m using.

I’m still getting the hard lock issue with driver 535 and a laptop running Arch. I’ve did a quick searches for issues and lots of different complaints in the results. I’ve been waiting for nvidia to put out these fires. Whatever they are. Still waiting since the 535 release…

Bluetooth stacks are notorious for being gargantuan spaghetti code base. People have been trying to put out all those little fires because it’s more possible on Linux than Windows.

Technically bad? Doesn’t seem like it to me from an average user perspective.
Ideologically concerning, yes. There are some militant evangelists out there. I’ve encountered devs who are hostile to anything other than systemd operability in their codebase. Immediate denial of pull requests for compatibility with other software suites. That is troublesome.

Very nice. I don’t understand the paradigm where everything is spaced out and there’s useless sidebars wasting space.

I general why does there have to be static sidebars that are rarely used. It causes the content body to be squeezed into tiny space. I will use the left menus when necessary which is not every single page view. In particular the right panel on lemmy and reddit have become cognitive blindspots. I will read the board description and decide to (or not to) click subscribe once. Otherwise it’s like how my brain ignores my own nose.

Why did web design become this way?

I figured sex toys are difficult to service because they have to be waterproof. I before reading through I was sure you’d find a lithium ion battery in there. There’s probably some devices out there with such batteries. It would be dangerous for these to burst into flames mid use.

Also charging in use means extra circuity so more complexity.

Am I the only one that’s noticed how reddit has been fucking with web crawlers? They insert newer comments into older posts so the crawlers pick up false results.

A few years back they started injecting a “related posts” box into pages. What that does is multiply the amount of results a crawler will pick up. But all those are false results. There’s only one true search result which is the original comment/post. Some times I find myself sifting though the search engine results to find the actual original post. The rest are completely worthless, off topic, reddit posts littering the search index.

I know all this blackout stuff hurts now. I see it as necessary for the platform to lose its status as the “front page of the internet”. Reddit turned evil a long time ago. It’s long past time it be deposed of.
