I absolutely agree with not passing a judgment on a class of people because of variability of how they respond to help. I've never heard of any reason that all 'schizophrenic meth addicts' as in GP's example will not re

If you just want a DNSCrypt and DoH proxy for Windows you can use Simple DNSCrypt. It also has over 60 DNS providers included and has data on which ones use filters to block requests, which ones log requests, and which ones support DNSSEC.

Simply making my elders accounts non-administrator worked really well for me.

There are many times the number of people that can sustainably live on earth at the moment (something like an order of magnitude). You can see consequences of this by looking at much more overpopulated areas in the middle east, Africa, or

Yeah there is a saying that goes something like: "If you think some organizations are bad, wait until you see some of the customers."

I'd avoid introducing Eucalypts to places they aren't already prevalent. Fires don't kill them, but do kill a lot of their competition, they drop very flammable leaf and branch litter, have oily explosive sap, so naturally t

Strangely after Quantum, Firefox worked worse for me. It is still the case, with Firefox regularly pausing all network activity for a few seconds or even a minute, so I am stuck with websites stuck loading or video stuck loading for a dece

This is probably too late for anybody to notice but I got FF memory usage down significantly by: 1) Not using the recommended performance settings. Setting 'Content Process Limit' to 2 removed more than half the memory usage IIRC

Doesn't a UBI get rid of actually prevent a government from dictating who gets what? With current social support programs the government does get to choose who gets what. But with a UBI, every adult would get the same amount, effectiv

I didn't mention anything specific, so I am not sure what you are replying to. Your example can be dealt with better in other ways, such as putting a prominent statement with a brief description of why something is untrue and a link t

Same here. That's why I changed a couple of subscribed channels to send me notifications, it puts updates of these channels in the notifications area and sends me an email for every update. The June 2019 change of algorithm was that

Have the recommendation system mix it up, put niches that are somewhat similar in the recommendations not quite as often, put things a bit further away less often, etc. This should have the algorithm recommend counterpoints which are clear

Yeah, completely agree. This year, for a site I knew existed, I had to use a very obscure search engine to find content on that site, for the other search engines it was omitted from the results. This only happened a couple of months ago,

You can easily add a button to do that with something like Greasemonkey. I added a script that adds a button to GitHub that shows the file sizes in an extra column when clicked. Adding a button that adds !g to the front of a DDG query and

Haven't played it myself but Viscera Cleanup Detail seems like good game to just goof around in and not worry about being competitive.

Here's a thought: What if there is a one or two categories missing from attributing or not attributing? For a piece of work you could have: 1) Attributes the sources of works that comprise it. Honest, cannot think of a situation that

Thanks for making me realise the most obvious thing, that it doesn't stop click fraud if it is on the ADTech customers network as they can connect to the device and pretend to be any device on the internet.

This may be tremendously ignorant but... What is to stop ad tech companies creating a cryptographically secured reverse proxy device[1] that clients can install in their network between the web server and requests from the internet? The ad

Another benefit that needs to be mentioned is it provides an unconditional safety blanket for anyone who has a job. People who now feel they are stuck in a job for fear of being broke wouldn't feel as stuck under a UBI. This is a hug

Don't even need VR to feel that. I distinctly remember playing Tribes or Tribes 2 and using the jetpack until the juice ran out; free falling from a large height gave me butterfies in my stomach, if that's the correct phrase for

That statement just excuses any authority to do what they want. A despotic dictatorship would be absolutely fine for people to repeat 'accepting the consequences of your actions' so that if anything horrible happens to someone it

Kind of amusing that it is named after Alan Turing when one of its major features is not being Turing complete by default. This effort for very high level code for building applications reminds me of Eve[1] as a non-traditional programming

From memory help for the MS Office products was actually really good. You had sections that showed their object model in a very nice hierarchical manner and you could easily drill down to the individual methods of the objects mentioned. T

Text files or Excel for the game data? Pardon my ignorance, but why aren't they using some sort of database for the data? Or at least storing the data in some sort of master database and exporting it to text files for the game to read?

DDG has been working well enough for me that I haven't had a good reason to compare on technical or other topics. However, DDG is worse looking for local information for things like store opening hours, Google knowing your location is

Being a reasonable person, I don't see any reason I would care if someone has nude photos of myself, even if I was a child at the time the photos was taken. The photos are not harming me, nor will they be harmful to me in any sense ot

Thanks very much for the info that Excel may offer least friction in a lot of circumstances, especially when ad-hoc things need to be done with data.
