Overall gaming share is 4%? I think you mean useragents account for about 4% of website traffic at measured points- which is not indicative of anything because my crawler also pretends to be things it isn’t.

Boss calls me (the sole on-site IT person) on a sickday and tells me something important broke and I need to come and fix it (45 minute bus ride one-way). I know exactly what broke and I tell her if she goes into my office and turn my computer on then I can remote in and fix it in literally 5 seconds. She nearly screams at me saying that my contract doesn’t allow remote work and I don’t remember what exactly was said after this point but it was something along the lines of:

“It won’t be fixed for another 5 days then because I’m not coming in today (Thursday, and I don’t work Fridays or Mondays).”

“Ok bye”

“bye”

Guess it wasn’t important

there actually is a legitimate service that landlords provide.

one I don’t want to pay for, but also one they don’t actually give me. My apartment is still missing several doors and I’ve been here for a year now. They don’t give a fuck. You’re also setting it up as if I have a choice but to be serviced. I don’t. I don’t earn enough money for my bank to want to give me a loan, even if I wanted to be in debt, to buy even the shittiest house on the market here, so I don’t have a choice but to live under the thumb of a landlord.

You might consider me an independent thinker (I shit in the woods)

I am convinced that the bidet shills on reddit are bots. There’s just no way that hundreds of thousands of people are suddenly interested in shitting appliances.

“noticing patterns” is a right-wing dog whistle about jews because they think jews orchestrate society and that they are ‘noticing this’.

The usual meme is “stop noticing things” because they have pointed out something they think is the fault of jews, like chemtrails or whatever. In this example, there could be a jewish board member of a plane company and they also believe chemtrails are real so they are ‘noticing’ the supposed connection.

It is similar to the (((( )))) dog whistle, if you are familiar.

Examples can be found on the ‘noticing’ tag on ifunny https://ifunny.co/tags/noticing

This has nothing to do with dark patterns.

Is there supposed to be a link here?

You’d have to find it between all the child porn

Yes, but on Linux I get to choose not to use Gnome

I’d still do it. Living a week or two onboard a decommissioned oil rig is a very unique experience.

I understand your point but I reiterate that I don’t connect to unsafe networks. If someone has remote code execution on a device on my side of the network then they are also inside my apartment and I’d be more worried about that.

you are brave to use your laptop that way

why? I don’t connect it to untrusted networks

You shouldn’t be touching it, honestly. There’s a firewall at your router. It should be responsible for blocking incoming traffic. Firewalls on individual machines are for servers where you know exactly what’s going in and out. I don’t have a firewall on my desktop or laptop.

You will spend the best years of your life chasing random network connections if you block everything by default.

Oh damn true I forgot about adding a repo

install debian

apt install flatpak

flatpak install theThingYouWantTheLatestOf

Step away from the water, Comrade Shark Fucker

That’s fair, I don’t live in America. I live in a country where I can vote for “spoiler” parties and it actually does take power away from center parties. The issue seems more generally relevant here.

The fascist says ‘Meet me in the middle!’

You take 1 step forward.

The fascist takes 2 steps backwards and says ‘Meet me in the middle!’.

If the torrenting is moved entirely within Tor, and pirates hosted Relays alongside their seedboxes, then we would have the bandwidth to sustain it and not be constrained by the exit relays.

feralhosting.com gives you a full unix user in your own little jail if that’s your thing. They are for seedboxes, but you can do anything you want with your 1 vcore and unmetered 10gbps.
