By percent I bet the amount of people using nitter is miniscule, meaning Twitter spent a lot of time making sure a small amount of people can't access the tweets.

I'm on mint, and just waiting for T-Mobile to come after us. Nothing this beautiful can last.

There are things called routers that...route traffic. A dumbed down version is routers talk to other routers to find out what they know about.

If a game server you connect to matches you with someone in Japan, your computer sends a packet with the address in Japan attached to it. Your home router probably has no clue where that is, so it goes to its upstream router and asks if they know, this process repeats until one figures it out and you get a route.

This all happens very quickly, and it's why people say the Internet routes around damage.

I make $17k more than I did in 2016, but according to the inflation calculator, I make $15k less than I did in 2016.

The underlying health and future prospects of the economy being positive is great, but things are just eye wateringly expensive compared to a few years ago.

The weird nationalist post 9/11 was rough, but How Do You Like Me Now? is a pretty good revenge song.

The multi-billionaire owner with the backing of the Chinese government is claiming that he's the underdog against a popular company/piece of software/GabeN. He's made some poor choices interacting with the community.

Yes, it's probably nice for a publisher to have a guaranteed income, which is why they sell exclusivity. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth, so I choose not to support it.

The rest about the launcher being bad sounds unhinged to me, but some people are really into that.

They bought Rocket League and actively made it worse.

I just don't buy it as a 31 year old dog.

Masterfully done.

The wikipedia article on that piece of land is crazy. Religious zealots have been fighting over it since basically recorded history started.

What kind of maniac uses their teeth on ice cream?

Some of the new stuff looks cool, and for all of these knee-jerk reactionaries... optional.

This one, everyone is winging it, and hopefully you get enough smart people in a room together they can come up with a solution.

Keep your dog away from their dog.

Sweet, no more cross necklaces!

The 30% covers storage, distribution, discovery, and probably more. If you had to implement that yourself you'd wind up with a shittier version for probably more money.

"Your policies caused this"

I'm not an expert, and definitely talking out of my ass, but maybe the people that have a vested interest in Taiwan not being a part of China may try to dissuade the US from their fabrication efforts to maintain their chip production based relevance on the world stage.

Had to buy toilet paper. That shit magically appeared when I was a kid.

Wanting bachelor chow is basically how I ended up eating Soylent every day.

Reddit swallowed any community simply due to inertia. Everyone is already there, why build your own thing?

I think part of it is they only see intense amounts of work pulled out of thin air under pressure, they don't see the internal struggle that led to leaving everything to the last minute

Good, college sports have always profited hugely at the expense of athletes. Now let's see if money in recruiting can make a few super-teams that are a higher quality.

They surely agreed to it, the mixup is that people in general don't realize how much data and how often Tim Horton's wants to collect it.

Tim Horton's should probably just know which Tim Horton's you're closest to when you go to place an order, and that's about it. There's no reason they should even be allowed to ask to track you all day every day, even if you agree.

That's sort of the gist of it.

At least not without pictures of the dog.

I have been using Windows 11 pro since it came out and it's fine. I'm not sure why windows is obsessed with trying to replace their older, functional menus with the new style settings apps (which usually just lead back to the old style ones) but I never get reinstalled bloat, ads, or anything remotely like people are complaining about.

For reference I do powershell for a living and use ArchLinux at work, and have windows 11 and arch machines at home, but use windows the most at home.

You know nobody gets out alive, right?

I saw this headline and immediately thought "ArmouryCrate is the reason"

I certainly avoid ASUS stuff after discovering that piece of nonsense on my new install.

Why, though?

I'm pretty cynical, but this is a new level.

Greedy breeders already "produce" more dogs than there are loving families for and as a result dog shelters are constantly full with sad dogs who donĀ“t have a home. This drug will result in shelters getting even more overcrowded.

My dog lives longer and shelters get more crowded? That's a complete non-sequitor. Much like my choice of lunch doesn't impact your lunch situation.

Perhaps my reading comprehension is poor, but the article seems to indicate that the pill will give a dog more "active years" and not necessarily more years. I guess we'll find out in four years when it's done.

There wasn't anything resembling influencers, and mostly you were talking to other nerds.

People were much more technically savvy, and creating their own homepages with guestbooks and construction gifs.

I don't think steam has any anti-competitive behavior that I'm aware of.

Fortnite has roughly 100 million more monthly active users than steam, to say nothing of every piece of software running Unreal Engine, Epic is huge.

As a counterpoint I've had pihole running in various configurations for 7 or 8 years and the only problem I've had was a log file got too big or something. Works great.

Goochland is not too far from Bumpass

Are they expensive or something? Usually outerwear that has an elevated status is high quality, such as north face or Carhartt.

Do you actually believe this, or are you just trolling? I genuinely can't tell. Poe's Law makes this impossible.

Ghost Ship. The rest of the movie is horrible but the first scene is inspired.

Who cares about the backing if it has no effect on anything?

It's more illustrating that Epic isn't underfunded. I don't know anything about steam in China.

I miss liftoff.

Bereal is great, you get a notification and take a picture, front and rear camera, that's all you get for the day, then you can see what your friends are up to.

By far my favorite social media.

They're going to screw their business customers to claw back value for themselves?

It's also up to $15k in tax credits and lower prices from Tesla, makes a huge difference when they're affordable.
