this is a PTSD thing right?

My (we’re Russian) mom always said it was because true cowboys know that if you take them off a scorpion could crawl in, so better safe than sorry

might have something to do with being a (former) colonial empire and having a habit of looking down on other cultures. I’m Russian and we have the same problem

Why did they still lose, was it like a gerrymandering thing?

It’ll probably be done with an overlay/prompt for the user to click on (Unless the advertiser is paying for exposure and not direct traffic idk). But such a popup would provide a hook for a patched version of yt-dl to detect the ad and trim it out of the final video.

Also, shouldn’t a forum signature at all should be enough to screw with AI scrapers? No need to link to anything specific

Semantic/licensing quibbles aside, these futo guys seem pretty based (affectionate). They even use the word “normies” in their goals/value statement.

Seriously tho, with power/wealth as lopsided as it is in america, we really need capitalist class traitors to get anything done and I’m glad people like this exist

What’s the difference? Afaict most of the problems with gaming laptops (e.g. the form factor introducing restrictions on power and cooling capacity) are independent of the specific os and hardware. How does the steam deck solve them better?

That entire process still needs lots of cash up front does it not?

industrial landscapes need a base of natural resources and less developed regions with high birth rates (as a source of labor) to support them.

Last spring bud light sent trans influencer Dylan mulvaney a personalized beer can as part of a broad marketing push. This drew criticism/calls for a boycott from various prominent transphobes and caused a slight slump in sales. Bud light responded by laying off/“laying off” various senior marketing execs etc, and did not afaict support support mulvaney after it (no loud anti-transphobia pr statement). Very illustrative story of how corporate support of lgbt people under capitalism works

well good news, the readme implies they are planning on it

dam that’s awesome, is your code open source? I want this for .ee

knowing how government institutions work I’d also assume they can’t get the libraries to switch to a new program

Yeah beehaw is also a separate software implementation that is mostly compatible with lemmy but still distinct. I’d recommend switching to a lemmy instance with permissive federation and curating your blocklist yourself with the instance block feature. That’s why i picked lemm.ee, it has one of the more chill admin teams. In general as an anarchist i dislike the whole “rival fiefdoms” model of federation that lemmy has, would to make my own decisions. But it’s still better than reddit lol

the tech term is website

Shout out to Alexandra elbakyan. She continues part of aaron’s work by running sci-hub and libgen, but lives safely out of reach of the american criminal “justice” system 💔

If you want to read about how we got into this fucked up situation I’d recommend The Hacker Crackdown by Bruce Sterling (a notorious cyberpunk sf writer among other things) https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/101

That’s just the wages of living in a huge postmodernist society that produces a vast amount of media. We no longer have centralized institutions (or rather they’re losing relative importance) so you have to go looking through the depths of either recommendation algorithms or topical forums

I mean the high quality paid games are still around, and I’m reasonably sure new ones are still being made. They’re not a lost art, just not as popular as free games

I’m fairly sure those were paid tho
