Oh, okay. Well in that case then the answer is no, I don't support any of this. Of course I'm happy to talk about my positions but there is little nuance to my position tbh: I remain entirely unconvinced by the justification for p

1. Because it isn't what you are saying it is. You are suggesting it's simply a matter of adults verifying their ages to access adult content. But it isn't! We're being asked to either scan our faces or provide our gover

No, forcing everyone to verify their age is a terrible thing. That's not the same thing as keeping kids away from potentially harmful websites or people. That is positive, but it's awfully weird to enforce it by doing this terri

I would prefer a pseudo-anonymous account if possible. Obviously if this is a marketing stunt the very not anonymous feedback is called into question immediately. That said: I already was aware of Mozilla's account and despite what you

That's someone who is confident enough to have an evidently successful enough career to be able to access Mythos in its currently-limited rollout and yet not take themselves terribly seriously online. Realistically their opinion deserv

No doubt KDirStat was based on SequoiaView, but WinDirStat was based directly on KDirStat, as in it was a port of it to Windows. I don't think it is incorrect to mention SequoiaView as the original, but it nonetheless feels weird to

Did you mean to reply to me? I evidently do not support the age verification regime, so no...

The main nice thing about the environment in systemd is that it is standard and mostly a blank slate, whereas at least for me I was always getting bit by the fact that the environment in Crontab was completely different from say, the enviro

Okay, I stand corrected, but I also stand by that it is interesting that it is pointed out that "The project was inspired by SequoiaView" in the lead section, but not that it was a direct port of KDirStat. It feels odd but also in

Not absolutely everything I've ever contributed was kept, but definitely a lot of it. I genuinely get the feeling that the modern Wikipedia hatred comes from somewhere other than a few unfortunate edit wars, but I'm not in-tune en

The internet has explicitly R-18 chats. Random IRC channels are not nightclubs. I am moving the goal posts back, if you touch them again we're escorting you off of the field.

There is something amusing about the fact that WinDirStat, as far as I know, was based on KDirStat (now QDirStat), yet this doesn't even get mentioned on their Wikipedia page, and by and large a lot of people don't even know QDirS

JA3 fingerprinting is really not a serious deterrent, there are many ways to get around that. curl-impersonate works. You can even just use an actual Chrome instance with the devtools protocol, seems to pass as long as you don't use he

VC++6 was the first IDE I ever used: as a kid, I was gifted a CD that had a version of it included. What a great tool to have for the time. I would go on to use Bloodshed Dev-C++ next. Which was also quite great for the time.

Like I said, I still participate. I just have absolutely zero hope this will get solved peacefully. Feel free to spread naivity, but do not tell me to shut up, that is an endeavor less useful than any activism.

Locally over here our city councils are overran with people who are anti Flock. Flock's strategy is to sneak their way in as if it is an "emergency". They've got a whole playbook. Normal activists don't stand a chan

I don't believe that activism actually generally works, and I am skeptical that voting works either. Don't get me wrong. I do vote, and I believe that voting and activism can work, and even still does for a variety of things

I see. So I escaped the experience of the nasty drink, then. I thought it was just "the standard" because it was also word for word what I saw when I googled it at the time. (Gatorade + Miralax.)

I didn't actually mind the prepping too much personally. Just to be safe I started early to go on the long end of what they suggested with the diet and basically just ate baked, unseasoned chicken for 10 days. Then did the bowel prep;

In addition to the other benefits, it's very lightweight. There is an anti-SPAM redirect but no huge JS bundles, just basic HTML.

Every single thing about this site is AI generated: the hero images, the text, and even all of the author personas and profile pictures. Think I'm joking? See for yourself. Looks like someone recently bought the techjournal.org domain

For the past 3 decades, it really has been normal for companies to remain very unprofitable even up until their IPO, but I don't think it's actually normal in general . In fact, if AI investment really is a bubble and it pops, I

I am truly, deeply sorry for revealing my true feelings on how much I value some of the employees that helped me become utterly, filthy rich. It will not happen again.

Okay. So if I copy and paste an AI response written by Claude and you can't actually find a specific problem with it, are you still fine with that? If so, please start your own damn website and enjoy talking to AI and reading AI text a

Sorry, but due to age assurance laws we can no longer provide ELI5 explanations. Best we can do is explain it to you like it's your 18th birthday.

When I was at Google, I'd periodically test our (internal-only) app with Chromevox with the display off. It's not that it sounded like it would be easy, but it really is a challenge, and I can only imagine the muscle memory built
