Steve-O is still alive; humanity will be fine.

15 downvotes, 0 proper counter-arguments. If someone’s missing something so obvious, it should be equally trivial to explain.

Honestly I think ID verification on the Web isn’t a bad thing. I know a professional (highly paid) propagandist in real life which made me fear trolling and masquerading as someone else is way more prevalent than assumed, because trolling on the Web is part of what he does. I’d love to see a forum where I didn’t have to second guess whether users are bots/trolls and there are no people using tens if not hundreds of accounts to skew votes.

Obviously it shouldn’t be for-profit unethical corporations that handle this, but well-run governments.

Cold - The Cure

As this is a female-only community, quoting a female coworker I coincidentally discussed this with today:

“I used to change my behaviour sometimes because I was told it could be interpreted as fancying the male I’m talking to. Now I realize that’s not a my problem but a they problem. I talk to whoever, however, and if they ask me out I just say no.”

“Voila, it’s all about communication.”

“Exactly.”

The decreased brightness is a subtle nice touch.

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

Sorry, I thought we were spitballing Harry Potter names 🧙.

Thank you. Yeah, no adjustments whatsoever. Except for an occasional crop I stopped doing that half a decade ago because I dislike embellishing what my eyes saw.

Humanity is an organism. Humans are its cells. Some cells are malignant cancer. In absence of a cure, cancer gets chemotherapy.

For fuck sake, what isn’t a scam nowadays?

God I fucking hate his goddamn smirk.

I’m hyped as long as Ladybird supports uBlock Origin; hoping it’s technically feasible.

That analogy is spot on. Everyone knows how light one feels after the first post-coffee morning dump.

I needed the following CSS copied 51 times with a 0.05 s increment, because CSS can’t for-loop and didn’t want JavaScript:

#butterfly span:nth-child(1) {
  animation-delay: 0s;
}

I know I could’ve just for-looped it somewhere else and copy-paste the output, but I was curious if DeepSeek could do it.

I like the sociable aspect of webrings, literally paying it forward and backward to two arbitrary websites on your own website. However, I don’t see how it helps searching for and finding a specific website as one would have to traverse the whole ring. A search engine incorporating the whole ring resolves this though.

As for OP’s specific question, synced bookmarks go a long way. I’ve also got quick terminal commands so I can immediately search on a website without having to open the browser and going to that website first.

A Secret Web by Benjamin Hollon [found on lobste.rs] is a great read; there I discovered nifty little search engines that specifically search the Small Web, such as Marginalia Search.

“People should go into smoking areas just to tell people to stop smoking.”

People will find their way out once the decent non-smoker content dries out and Lemmy links become shared more.

I come from Vivaldi, and Zen was the only customizable powerhouse that equaled the former. Next to Zen I also use LibreWolf, and Waterfox on Android.

Hate Microsoft et al., dislike software.

1 MB file size limit. That’s officially worse than email. Ridiculous.
And 100 MB if I pay? Wtf, what year is this, 2002?

It’s reality. They’re not using ads or any other unethical means of profit seeking. Imagine if everyone started using Matrix and no one paid, where do you suppose the money should come from to pay for the servers? It’s like going to the grocery store and being outraged that fruit has a price tag; “what the fuck, I can’t just take this?”

Also, I can’t remember ever sending files nearing 100 ㎆ via chat. Just use a cloud service and send the URL.

All these free services have made us spoiled, lazy, and greedy. I’ve written some related essay about it:

What if I paid for all my free software?
I’ve always felt guilty by taking for granted the rare breed of virtuous humans that provide free excellent software without relying on advertising. Let’s change that and pay, how much would I “lose” anyway? —https://www.arscyni.cc/file/take_my_money.html
