It's not that complicated to get, some of them have useful features. It's just a personal tradeoff between features, downsides, and risks. Most people don't consider the risks at all (implicitly down-weighting that factor), a

Charitably, I assume they mean it brags about not having an algorithmic feed. Bluesky does actually have an algorithmic feed ("Discover"), but it isn't the default.

I suspect our politics are just too different for my attempts to defend the culture itself to be relevant, but it is super easy to cultivate what you see on Bluesky. You can detach your posts if you get quote-reposted, you can limit who can

I'm not an expert, but that wouldn't really fit with my understanding of ADHD. It's not that we have a lack of attention ("defecit" of attention, as the name suggests), it's an impaired ability to direct it. To

What does "uploading" have to do with using Plex? As far as I was aware, My media is sitting less than a meter from me right now. Does Plex upload my content to a server without asking or something?

To what end? I imagine ad networks have pretty robust bot detection. I'd also be surprised if scrapers didn't have ad block functionality in their headless browsing.

Windows used to be software you bought, and could use with a decent amount of control (obviously not at the level of linux). Windows 11 is a front-end to advertise Microsoft's cloud services. There are ads for them (and also other ads)

HSAs are only available alongside high deductible plans (HDHP), which aren't necessarily ideal in all situations. FSAs are the only option like that if you don't have an HDHP.

Minor point, but I think you've got your signs backwards. Eastern Europe is UTC+2, and PST is UTC-8.

ICE doesn't have legal authority to punish people. Despite that, they are actively doing it all over the country at this very moment. At least if a TSA agent got a bug up his ass and decided to fuck up your day, you'd probably s

Yeah, the GP comment doesn't seem to be their target market. You nailed the appeal though. Non-customizable? That's the point. Ancient Linux kernel? I can't imagine why I'd care for such a device.

This is kinda on the game developer. There are anti-cheat systems which work fine on Steam Deck already, as long as the developer checks the box to allow it (as I understand it, it is just about that simple for EAC, one of the bigger anti-c

Coughlin was an anti-communist antisemite who was sympathetic to Hitler and Mussolini and advocated for government control over industry in the 1930s. I would also read that as fascism, yes.

Okay, so you aren't actually talking about the immigration rate, you're talking about the percent of people who are immigrants. That has nothing to do with the "pace of the last 10 years", it comes down to the pace of th

Do you actually mean "flip"? Because when open, with the screen opened upwards, they have roughly the same dimensions as any modern slab phone. Then it'd come down to whether your hand is big enough to type one-handed on that
