I game, I hack my electronicles with dodgy firmware, and I read books digital and papyrus.

This should have been on CSPAN.

How is less evil better than no evil?

I vote guillotine.

No thank you, I'll use Firefox instead. Brendan Eich the CEO of Brave is a POS, he donates to shitty causes and then pretends that those donations don't define him as a bigot.

"In other words, because he silently donated to causes seeking to strip rights from minority groups instead of directly harassing them, the outrage was unjustified."

I am also 55. And every time I get spanked in Destiny 2 pvp I am reminded that my reflexes are now shit, and my days of pvp glory in UT and CS are decades behind me. I'm officially a pve player now.

Yep I just finished setting up Feeder for the websites I read most and a few subreddits.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one but they think each others stink.

I agree with the EFF's argument. I also have no problem with the actions taken by that ISP.

It's not. The Sync dev wants you to pay $20 to remove ads from the app. I'm sticking with Connect and Voyager.

If it can be used to divert lightning strikes, then it can probably be weaponized.

You just admitted that English isn't your native language, and you probably aren't an African American. So this is one of those things you are just not going to get. It comes down to more than just the language, it's the shared history that gives those words the weight they carry. And you can choose to privately be insensitive to that history, but publicly you don't have to say everything you think.

He bought it to destroy it for his Saudi backers. Billionaires like Musk and the Saudis make more money with Republicans in charge. Twitter and Reddit were too good at educating voters that would keep Republicans out of power, and hold murderous Saudi princes accountable, so they had to be destroyed.

I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3 with Wyll as my mage, and two custom hirelings that I brought in to replace Shadowheart the cleric, and the vampire thief guy who I was really liking up until he tried to bite me. So I killed him. Also thinking about letting Gale starve to death because I'd rather sell surplus magic items. The heroic characters talked too fucking much, and I didn't appreciate all their drama. Hirelings are quiet and they kill who I want them to kill without complaing about it.

I'm playing a half-drow elemental monk who somehow learned to play the lute and lyre. He's black because I'm black, which is also why I wanted Wyll. I found a cowboy hat somewhere. Cowboy monk

Also because the political leanings of the lemmy.ml mods offended a lot of former redditors, including myself.

I stand behind AntennaPod, it does what I need.

No, and they never have to.

I'm 55 and I will probably be playing right up until I die. You do whatever makes you feel comfortable, I am too old to give a fuck what other people think.

I've been saying the same thing in multiple Lemmy posts and on Mastodon. Twitter and Reddit were both used by progressives to organize.

The federated alternative is BookWyrm.

Is it weird that I think of an ouroboros every time I see the Threads logo?

That comment seems to be an attempt at disinformation. I have not detected any of those trackers. You should also run your own checks just to be sure.

No. They were posting reviews for a book that hadn't even been released.

I keep seeing this nonsense in my socials. No a self sustaining dictatorship is not going to suddenly appear in America. It would probably work in almost every other country on Earth, but in the USA it's impossible because of the individualist delusions all Americans are raised on.

No you need strong oversight. I saw from the inside how the Philadelphia school district squandered their funds on bullshit Apple laptops and computers that were never used, instead of the Linux desktops and kids were actually using daily. Chromebooks are just leasable ewaste.

If was always about limiting the ability to organize using Twitter and Reddit. They want things to go differently in 2024, not because of any conservative political ideology even though most of them skew that way. But because they make more money when the monsters are in charge.

Content discovery is really easy for me on Mastodon, I can search for what I want via hashtag or a post, plus the people I follow and my followers always have nice suggestions. But if your instance has low federation, you might not see much.

They also lifted chunks of Star Citizen.

Same. I prefer it to Jerboa. But I am disquieted by the currently unverified post stating that it might be full of trackers.

Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.

I agree.

I grew up in New York city, and lived in the Bronx. Most of the people living there are literate in their mother tongue, less so in English. Is that what you were trying to say?

I've logged into Discord a grand total of five times in three years, and nothing I ever saw there convinced me to stay.

I am a 55 year old gamer, and I'll probably be gaming until I die. It's entirely up to you.

Giant Bomb's Deadly Premonition Endurance Run series with Vinnie and Ryan. Also their Persona 4 Endurance Run.

Nope.

I am 1,735,668,000 seconds old, and so I have seen some shit. Donald Trump is just an unseemly hiccup in an insignificant span of time. There were ghastly horrors before him and there will be ghastly horrors after him. These nuisances seem important because this is your now, you'll realize how little they meant when this is your then. As in, it seemed so important then, while you look back at the Land of Then from the clear hilltops of After.

Tested Connect using three different privacy apps and none of them found any trackers. I don't know if I can trust the source of that post. Instead of blindly taking my word for it you should also conduct your own tests.

I've never had an issue with this. And no, I don't know how to help you. Contacting the devs would be your best hope.

Nothing naive about it "your vote, your choice" is still valid even today. You may not like the fact that progressives and independents don't toe the party line but you need to learn to accept differing viewpoints. No one attacked you, they just stated their opinions and you immediately went on the offensive.

Thanks for the heads up!

How did they break into your cat? Was it a Being John Malkovich thing? Or was it a Ray Palmer in the Amazon jungle, Sword of the Atom, yellow aliens thing?
