Your filter list is very similar to mine. Makes a hell of a positive change.

Sort of like US Democracy.

Any big dump of money (Manhattan Project, Space Race, Arms Race) brings about great strides in progress. It would have been great to see a big dump of money, on the aforementioned scale, dumped into raw research.

I barely have two nickels to rub together, but I would donate them if it would get these fuckheads to Mars.

I’d imagine it will come around, but not the way people think, and not for many more generations. I mean, unless we just kill this planet before we get there, which is where I’d put my money.

The exact phrasing varies, but in most states, the details of the law are the same: Any “commercial entity” that publishes “material harmful to minors” online can be held liable—meaning, tens of thousands of dollars in fines and/or private lawsuits—if it doesn’t “perform reasonable age verification methods to verify the age of individuals attempting to access the material.”

Sure seems like that would cover a lot of websites, including most news sites.

I don’t know if I’m alone on this, but I just bought the biggest 5400rpm HDD that was in my price range when I set up. Might notice the slower speed when doing a big data dump, but for streaming purposes you can run many 4k streams concurrently and the bottleneck would probably be your network speed before you hit a drive read bottleneck.

I just went for the heavy use of blocking those types, and my experience on here has gotten way better. Otherwise, my user experience was just a fire hose of outrage and performative pearl clutching.

I’m going to go with you being crazy. Although based on your mention of “deja vu” and the number “4”, I did see dfview4. I don’t think that’s what you wanted though.

This comment section gives me hope for this platform.

It seems like every other captcha I get has a picture of a moped and asks to click for a motorcycle. When I don’t click on the moped it says I’m wrong. Pisses me off.

I can’t remember the last time I bought a PC. I just incrementally upgrade over the years. I would be disappointed if they came out with a PC that only ran with their flavor though.

Fantastic pick. Great song, legendary album.

Anyone who wasn’t around then can’t really know what they missed.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m heading off on a kind of long road trip, and I’ll slip it into my rotation.

I really haven’t listened to them since they moved from Touch & Go. I’ll give their new stuff a try.

That was my thought as well. I’m also thinking it might be a challenge to get something to read them in 100 years.

M-Disc?

I really was enjoying Handmaiden’s Tale (the TV series), then I happened to read the lead character is a true blue Scientologist. That fact made the show unwatchable.

My grandmother ran Linux for a couple decades until her death at 101 years old. My 80+ year old mom has been running Linux for at least 2 decades. Yes, I’m tech support, but I don’t really have to do anything. It just works.
