The soviet equivalent, AKA the Fingercrusher. Fuck that thing

There’s helvum and carla control that allow you to edit the entire audio graph with all ins and outs for all hardware and software so you can route it however you like. No need for VAC and such. But even if you do, you can load pulseaudio modules i.e. pactl load-module module-null-sink and then route them with qjackctl which is absolutely crazy and awesome how pipewire lets you do that.

Done. Now please let me through, mr. Caflifornia Immigration Officer

R6S doesnt work in windows either (if virtualized).

Since when did GTAO stopped working on linux tho? Did it introduce an anticheat as well?

Think that was a joke playing on the possibility that Moxie could be a trans woman.

Actively hostile relationship with advertising

Describes defensive relationship with advertising.

Smh. Actively hostile relationship is like throwing bricks at their offices, or, at the very least, calling their support and bogging them down with stupid questions with no intention to buy their services. Or… spreading information on why you shouldn’t use their services.

I’ll start: Ground News is a site based on the stupidest idea ever and it’s use is actively dangerous for the society. It steals traffic from real news sources doing actual grunt work, and then has the gall to ask you to pay them for it. It teaches you to turn off your critical thinking and to just trust them on rating news sources biases which they pull from… where, exactly? Ah yeah, straight out of their arses. But worst of all, they put left and right outlets on equal pedestals as if both have the same merit, promoting this weird centrist position of half left ideas and half literal fascism. American fascism, to be precise, because those ratings don’t even make sense outside of USA. For example, they’ve rated Al Jazeera, the news agency wholly owned by an authoritarian monarchy state, as “left leaning”. Like, what?

5/7 8 hours workweek is a maximum

Gig workers and 2-2-3/7-7 shifters that are often forced to work on the off-days:

people before 18 should not have sex with people after 18

It’s mostly “people younger than 16 should not have sex with people 18 or older”, because legal age does not match age of consent. Even then, there are some regions that tend to disagree, most notably China, Central Europe and South American countries that put the lower bound to as low as 14. But it still leaves 18-year olds to be open for grooming by perverts of any age. And that, according to DHS, 8% of women had sex with somebody before reaching the age of 14, 41% had it before age of 16, and 67% before 18, putting any such “dogma” into further questioning.

Disclaimer: Not proposing anything here, just pointing that answers to those questions are far from being settled upon.

How was I supposed to infer the meaning of those?

It’s because is about wealth, not tech, and Lisa isn’t even in the top 1000 richest people.

EDIT: Looked up, and it seems that Cook, Altman and Pichai are also too poor for this circle

Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Enhanced Tracking Protection -> Custom -> All cookies (will cause websites to break)

Open site -> it breaks -> do i really need it? (no) Move on to the next site. (yes) Ctrl+I -> Permissions -> Set Cookies - uncheck “Use Default” - Allow

If the site is GDPR-compliant, they are not allowed to set any cookies until you click the accept button. But, a ton of sites and ad agencies are not. For example, Russians commonly just put a “we tracking you, deal with it. [OK]” banner, thinking they are funny, when it’s clearly illegal even by Russian law, but they are shielded from it by responsible officials incompetence. Same story in the US, I believe.

Have one extra buzz from me as well. Screw RedHat and everything it does.

Solved. Had to run flatpak remove --all followed by flatpak repair to prune caches, then re-install every app again. But configs and logins seem to remain intact.

Probably tens or even hundreds of millions*

I joined shortly before Musk takeover and it was already a dumpster fire, so I made a script that searched for spam and fascist dogwhistles in the background and preemptively blocked them all 24/7 up to the rate limit. Two years later and well over 300k blocked accts later I gave up and deleted the account after seeing it barely even made a dent in the threads I was reading there.

I used to run an LTE-enabled nettop instead of a phone during the app-only craze, can’t get any worse than that. Recently removed bank apps, taxi, delivery, maps, youtube, email and all social media apps off my phone in favour of using websites instead. They’re still a bit of an afterthought compared to apps so the experience is a bit clunky, but the option is available for most things nowadays.

Damn, it looks like everyone whom I told about this just wants to see me suffer. Alrighty then, see ya in… sometime. The journey sure looks rough, given that my hardware is barely supported by linux, nevermind an experimental OS from the 90s…

I am seriously considering switching to either Gentoo or 9front…

This is working as intended, though. In most cases, nobody cares how stoked you are about the product, people mostly care which flaws the product has. With a target average of, say, 4.5, the 5-star system gives you options to give +0.5 stars all the way down to -3.5, giving negative reviews significantly more weight.
