I did the same thing the other day when I saw “winedlloverrides” (for the program Wine if that helps).

So basically what it all comes down to is competition and not just greed like most people believe. If you don’t make more money than the competition, you will fail. That’s why companies keep getting bought out all the time, they lost this game. Most people have no idea just how many companies they know are owned by bigger ones they may not know. The whole thing is conglomerating like the T-1000 after it had been shattered and melted. So rabid profit chasing is a matter of survival.

Also, they’ve vehemently claimed for many years that it’s impractical to provide backward frame-by-frame stepping, but Celluloid does it just fine.

Ah, so that’s not just me, is it? That’s bugged me for a long time. I was so happy when I discovered SM Player could do it.

I’m reminded of this book I had as a kid. It explained so many things so easily. It explained how an ICE works by using analogous items you’d already know as a kid for every part of the engine. For example, for the fuel injector it showed a perfume spray bottle. It was brilliant, and why it was never required reading in school is a mystery and tragedy.

I prefer "sota !!"

Because discord uses the word differently than the rest of the world. Convenient.

Ditto!

Fun and Interesting ads are actually the worst ones, because they get you to associate pleasant feelings with their product/service/brand, which dilutes your ability to make rational, objective choices about them. That’s one of the ways that they are manipulating you.

Sure I may have used Windows in the past, but now I wash my hands of it.

I wouldn’t know how to get this going, but I very much enjoyed reading it and your comments and think that it looks like a great project. 👍

(I mean, as a fellow autist I might be able to hyperfocus on it for a while, but I’m sure that the ADHD would keep me from finishing to go work on something else. 🙃)

I haven’t because I don’t know if there is even a point, since afaik they don’t actually delete anything, they just keep you from accessing it, and keep adding to it anything other people post about you.

Runaway as well, but without the mall.

…invade everyone’s privacy instead.

That was amazing. Wow. I mean, I knew that google was bad but, damn.

I was surprised to learn recently that people are still making new screen savers for it.

…library… Alexandria…

But yeah, that is the central hub that everything goes thru

Does vpn help with this?

I’m using Vivaldi (Android), and it looks like I’m not getting the mobile site, but the desktop one. I can access all the content, but the pictures are way too big, and the white cloud in the background makes it impossible to read the text over it because it is white too. If I set Vivaldi to “desktop site” mode, I get the same thing, only without the text word-wrapped. I just want to know if this is malicious or just incompetent.

Note 10+ here and same, as soon as I can afford one of those linux phones, or at least a second-hand pixel.
