This is why pirating is justified. If you want your shows to last forever, torrent them, and keep them seeded.

It usually involves trying to start some shit with Russia.

Exactly. And you aren’t a terrorist after you win your country back. That’s like the British partnering with America to fight terrorism being ironic because of George Washington. Different era is different era. Whether people like it or not the Taliban run an actual government.

It sounds like everyone but mods should be able to see voters. But of course they will use straw accounts. What if only votes on your own post/comment were revealed to you? Like some pointed out, they are already not anonymous to anyone who wants to try hard enough to get the data because of federation. So the question is who do we want to be able to see that data easily? It’s a GUI modification in any case. Who are we making the gui modification for?

Then I’m super for it. Might as well make what is available to a few try hards available to all easily.

For this user base it is the right answer. So many petty downvoters. On my site I’m considering a rule that would make it so you can’t be the vote that casts a comment into the negative without giving a reason, and then that reason would be turned into a comment. If something is worth downvoting then it is worth explaining why someone is wrong. If you can’t do that maybe you shouldn’t downvote. I don’t think you should have to do that every time. But if a comment is going to go negative someone should step up to the plate and bother to articulate. That way a comment can’t get hidden away from the public just because a petty mob that can’t even present an argument sees it as convenient if certain information disappears.

So in that case the downvoter who crossed it into the negative would not be anonymous.

But even with that margins are tight, so 99.5% of why your flight is expensive is that planes are not cheap to operate and fuel isn’t free. But we can pretend it’s all the other thing to maintain slave morality.

Also when was the last time an airline stock paid a dividend? I’m sure one of them pays dividends but most pay dividends never.

But on the plus side normal people can use air travel now.

Chase the penguins. Cease the day. That’s what I say, because I’m the coked up personality.

This logic breaks down when you realize the laptop is mine, and not HP’s or Windows. And any software that is mine, my copy of windows should also be mine and not microsoft’s, can modify my device if I have selected some of my software to do that.

If you don’t use HP and you don’t use windows you won’t have the problem. You should be boycotting HP as a part of BDS anyway. https://bdsmovement.net/boycott-hp

“But I already bought an HP.” If you had adopted BDS much earlier like you should have you wouldn’t have these problems.

No one would opt-in to having all of their personal files sent to the cloud. But Windows managed to get my father using OneDrive even though he had no idea what it was. He was absolutely pissed when I told him. Somehow that wasn’t enough to get off of windows completely though.

They use dark patterns and cryptic dialog boxes to get old people to opt in.

That’s not what makes websites slow. It’s React.

Retards with React. “I’m optimizing user experience”

You have ignored the possibility that even though there are finite gay people, among those finite gays one of them might be infini-gay.

I think that could be possible. If sexuality were multi-dimensional and “gayness” was just a 1-D collapse of a higher dimensional space then you could pick a vector in the higher dimensional space to represent gayness, such that a few points at the extreme happen to have the same dot-product with that vector.

But then you would be defining gayness around the gymnastics of setting that up instead of something you are actually trying to estimate about people on that spectrum.

Right. And if you depend on them for your logic with cloudflare functions you will never be able to migrate to another CDN.

Never let a vender do anything for you beyond standardized features. That’s why a “selling point” if we go with this guy we can do this… never makes sense. Because if option B can’t do it also you wouldn’t want to do “this”, and you should probably implement it in a more old-school way.

You have infinitely other options. search.brave.com, yandex, bing. And probably a lot of cool ones I don’t know about.

All of them search more accurately your directly requested phrase instead of a blurry interpretation of your sentiment.

It’s the rule of modern engineering. You will always be served the worst possible product that can claim to have some utility. If it’s not on the edge of being useful someone didn’t engineer hard enough.

Besides that one time power goes out more often in California. In Texas you just have a temporary price surge you could treat like a blackout if you wanted to. The difference is it’s less often and you have a choice.
