I think it’s because we always imagine artists as being from the olden times.

Literally just get Tor Browser. It’s just a browser like any other.

Natalie Cole’s version of this does this at the end.

The closest thing to DEI I can even begin to think of in Frost punk 1 was that you could manufacture prosthetics for amputees.

Any game that doesn’t make all NPCs “opportunistically bisexual” pisses me off. Quit locking content behind my character’s pronouns.

I find it infuriating that the “free market” doesn’t let me bid on an empty ad slot on my own videos and instead makes me pay a flat rate monthly fee.

I consider browser ab blocking a reasonable accomodation for ADHD and I’m not even joking. I haven’t had to ask for this yet but, seriously. Banner ads are extremely distracting.

No. Brave has a history of modifying links you click on to add affiliate information. The only time to use Brave is if user agent spoofing for “chrome only” websites doesn’t make it work.

Yayyyy, right as Windows 10 is going EOL and Windows 11 doesn’t work on BIOS systems we’re seeing a big increase in prices!

In college I remember there was a building not a lot of stuff was in but still sort of in the middle of campus. A lot of pathways to various areas went through some of the floors but on the highest floor nobody really went through. It was so peaceful and solitary in there. Well, maybe not peaceful. It felt a little eerie because of how abandoned it felt. But that was definitely my go to if I felt unwell and I was nearby.

Wish I could block someone IRL like they do in this episode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Christmas_(Black_Mirror)

This is the conclusion I came to and what has kept me positive. Remembering that, while there was a ton of shit happening, I had plenty of happy memories from that time too. I finally made new friends after moving out of my hometown and I’m still friends with them to this day. I remembered all the great moments and memories I made during that time.

Don’t let the bastards grind you down. Take a beat of you need it. Take it one hour at a time, one day at a time, one week at a time. You can do this.

They told me gullible was on the ceiling. It sounded preposterous so I looked up to show them they must be mistaken. They were! It was not on the ceiling! Yet they all proceeded to laugh at me!

Anytime!

Ohhh, I get you now. Yes, that’s likely a thing most of them would believe.

(Not saying I agree or disagree with it, just trying to explain what Hexbear typically implies to most people in a factual, unbiased way because you said you’re out of the loop.)

Hexbear existed as an instance prior to the Reddit API changes of 2023. They’d been around for a few years. Most instances federate by default with everyone, but Hexbear took a slower opening of it because they already had an established culture. (Think of this similarly to people discussing the pros/cons of federating with Threads. It would be a big change to the way things are now so it’s controversial.) It’s possible they weren’t ever federated with beehaw.org (your instance) so you may have never seen them or interacted with them.

I’m aware, that’s part of the point I’m making.
