Don’t get dry on your own supply

Yeah but the more layers you use, the less chance you have of deflowering yourself.

Found the Amazon warehouse worker

My point wasn’t that single people can’t be bad, or do bad things, but ultimately to perform terrible acts at scale it requires buy-in from other people. Without support, whether it be through fear, coercion, or otherwise, it’s nothing more than intrusive thoughts.

Hitler was a bad dude but it took a concerted effort by who knows how many people in order to make the sick stuff that happened a reality.

All the names he listed were indeed bad dudes, but I feel saying Kissinger stands out because he had the support of the government while the others just killed millions by themselves is not a fair assessment of what transpired.

You think because the names you listed were leaders of their countries doesn’t make them part of a greater evil? No one person commits atrocities alone; there must be some backing.

One single name doesn’t get to make decisions… There must be a greater body at play. There has to be support of some sort, otherwise the people would have just said no, and killed that person.

Stardate 49678.4. We will never forget.

Unlimited Data on the Cellular Peptide network.

My buddy reported that he started getting blocked using uBlock starting today.

I’ve never had any of the problems, but I have some caveats that may be helpful:

1. I live in Korea
2. I use brave browser with no uBlock as it’s unnecessary
3. I also use NextDNS at the router level.

#3 seems to be of no consequence as I tried using vanilla Chrome and ads played while randomly testing videos

That leads me to believe #2 or #1 is preventing ads.

I didn’t disable NextDNS since it failed at #3, and I haven’t tried VPNing into a U.S. endpoint out of laziness.

Either #1, or #2 is preventing ads … I’m inclined to believe it is #2, Brave browser, that is successfully blocking ads; even without VPN, with NextDNS, I was still getting ads in vanilla Chrome.

I think there is something in Brave browser that is currently overlooked.

I hope it helps someone

Then comes the black-market.

Or strange, non-standard settings / configuration. It’s weird. Sometimes it’s fine, other times it’s like they have some preconfigured package that works with snap.

Merde

Yup

Regular pants aren’t?

I think it has something to do with a built-in defense mechanism. When you feel dizzy like that, one of your body’s reactions is “oh snap, I think I ate something bad. Get rid of it”.

Go dig up some worms, throw em in a bowl, grab a weird looking fork, and let us know.

Same. Users who click on links get signed up for remedial training courses lol

Yeah well said.

I see it here on Lemmy all the time, and you can just see it in this whole comment thread too.

I’ve been a software engineer for decades. I know my way around Windows, OSX, and Linux systems. I’m not a casual computer user. I AM a gamer though, and jumping through hoops to play games on Linux is not worth my time. Unless there is a native Linux distribution of the game, you’re jumping through hoops trying to get it to run through Proton, or whatever other means. Driver support is another thing… Yeah it’s gotten better, but sometimes it just like forcing a square peg through a circle hole.

No thanks, I’m very happy with my native gaming experience.

And sure, for dev systems, or servers, Linux is great. All of my professional work is interacting with Linux based systems, containers, etc. I also work on a MacBook Pro, so I understand the tooling for Unix systems is great for that work.

My personal life though, I’m not fighting Linux just to game.

BTW Starfield is great… Check it out lol. I just did a quick search for “Starfield on Linux”. First results are something like “Runs on Proton after some tweaks”. I’m good.

I’m curious… How does one even test such a thing before distributing it without having offending files to test against.

Like during the development process of this project, how on earth can you test it properly? 😂

Forbidden pudding

Sometimes Microsoft is such a turd… I’ve seen this thing posted several times, however I didn’t see the fix in this thread, so I’ll post it here. Sorry, I couldn’t find the Lemmy post that had the information on how to remove it, but I found one on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/computerviruses/comments/149x25h/bgaupsell_what_is_this_bing_popup/jp896s0

It’s basically a combination registry changes, and also directory modifications to prevent writing to the directory where BGAUpsell.exe resides.

It’s pretty shitty we have to do this. Please, hold all your “switch to Linux” comments, because they are stupid, and superfluous; I see that dumb shit all the time since I came to Lemmy.
