The more I interact with this comm the more I understand the depth of what anarchism really means. I’ve been sour on my current reality for decades, and until joining this instance, my perception of anarchism has felt appropriate yet surface level. Not enough time to dig deeper due to life, the universe, and everything.

I love being here.

This new experiment will be exciting to watch unfold. While I hope it works as intended (which I think it will), I look forward to experiencing the struggle of growth for this comm.

Cheers, and congratulations to our new admins. db0 I hope this move lightens your workload

E: by comm I mean instance

I’m late, but happy birthday! Finally made that donation that I said I would. I love this place.

Way to go, turning a legitimate question with legitimate answers into an opportunity to insult an unrelated group of people 👍🏽

You’d be surprised how little money it takes to influence a US politician

UGH thank you! And also thank you!

I don’t know how I missed that chapter. It’s so freaking important. But then again I checked it out from the library and, being 48 hours long with a 14 day pending period, I’ve fallen asleep listening a few times. It’s hard fighting time against these massive novels.

I’m really loving this series. I read the Mistborn trilogy when those were first released and never thought to follow Sanderson further

Is Sharon Apple somehow involved? Can we get a list of virtual idols with suspicious behavior?

I choose to believe French is just ugly Catalan

To be honest I have no idea. I saw the Plugins option but no explanation as to what it’s for

TrackerControl will let you block ads system wide. It’s kinda touchy and takes some finagling, though.

What sort of finagling are we talking? Also, I’ve been using AdAway for the past few weeks with mixed results. Could these tools be used in tandem or is that just silly?

I’m a big fan of Kvaesitso. It does nearly everything I’d like it to do. Quick question though. I never figured out what plugins I can use or where to look. Any pointers?

The purpose of these corporate white papers is to inform (impress) potential customers of actual issues. It demonstrates knowledge and implies that the company has the ability to leverage their product or service to meet whatever the challenge is.

I wouldn’t say boulder-sized because the meat of the article is true, but yes a bit of skepticism is always useful.

I didn’t see it on droid-ify for some reason so I took the 5 minutes to finally figure out how obtainium works. Not sure why it wasn’t listed though

If you’re ever looking for a portable sound machine that is small and good for travel but also not on a smart device, I highly recommend this one. I got one of these for my first kid and it lasted for 4 years and many trips. The battery died after that due to overcharging but it was very useful for one setting. Got another when the second was born and they both still listen to theirs.

This post got me to figure out how to use obtainium. Now I’m legally smarter and enjoying some brown/pink noise

I thought maybe the hidden wiki would be something cool and interesting so I googled it. Interesting but not cool.

Could it be Sharkronomicon: Dawn of the Divine Invocation?

I’ll admit it was incredibly jarring (for me) to experience Frieren outright say demons are 100% evil, cannot be trusted, and must be exterminated with prejudice. But what you say really is what makes it interesting. We’re so used to media humanizing villains in fiction that we just expect it at this point.

Flipping the trope and trend makes it novel again.

My friend has a cat named Dumb Bitch. She found her in the road after getting hit by a car. Apparently after the cat recovered and made her house it’s home, it ran out of a window and got hit by a car again. So she lovingly gave it that name after that

Maybe it’s my client but no auto complete happens as I type a username or community. I was hoping for a more reddit-like function where it drops down with suggestions as I type. I browse exclusively on mobile so it’s a minor hassle to save a draft, search for the user, and then go back to my comment to finish typing.

Like I said- a minor hassle.

I roast my veggies in mine and it’s great. Less time, gas, and overall heat than my gas one. Don’t cook fish in it, though.
