I disable it wherever native dark mode is supported but damn if I’m gonna blast my eyes with a white background awhen I’m browsing after 10pm

If you want to see dark mode everywhere: DarkReader

Note that it will slow down page render times

Valid criticisms tbh (I even could say the same as a day 0 account lol)

Moderation isn’t going to “improve” because they generally are fine with everyone being goofballs, so I wouldn’t expect that.

Some people have the cascade of shitposting and useless emojis coming with their crappy views, but I don’t think our instance is great at propaganda or ROE, which is unfortunate. Would love to see what we could do with a little discipline.

Also the emojis on every other instance and all mobile apps look more obnoxious because they don’t downscale to their intended resolution.

My opinion has always been that NSFW instances should be quarantined entirely to their own “porniverse” or whatever.

And yeah this type of content (underage or pseudo-underage) should be banned entirely in all cases imo.

No, also which instance is that hosted on? .ml?

Me too

you can’t try before you buy.

Most mail order mattresses come with a generous trial period. Not ideal though

One guy was so paranoid that he had a camera in his yard (out in a well-off suburban neighborhood) pointing at a public path that strobed and vocally warned you that you were being recorded. Totally unhinged

I think they said that they specifically don’t want to tank the local economy, just the tourism sector.

A large tourism sector can be a detriment to a smaller city or town if the local people don’t have enough control or investment in the sector themselves.

It’s definitely good to organize, but if they are in the US, building publicly housing (an obvious solution) is illegal, so things aren’t straightforward even if you obtain some power.

We are talking local level. It’s actually possible to get things done, especially if you lay the groundwork and get some help. It doesn’t need to be OP getting in the door, just start small and eventually their org can get someone to step up and take a position of power.

It’s only smuglord-worthy if we are at the federal level imo

It’s just a messenger app. Whatsapp is probably used by more criminals on the whole, but there’s no reason for that to make the news

I think the model that you’re referring to is generally more applicable to hardware, but since you can make free copies of an app, Uber for instance can keep things low cost till they eat the competition

I mean it was nonsense to think it would solve your costs, but streaming is superior to cable TV from a tech standpoint for sure.

People should expect that yeah, new software is cheap when it’s rolled out, but it’s gonna get more expensive as time goes on, but I can understand why that wasn’t quite as apparent to people 10 years ago as it will be 10 years from now

Somebody post the wkuk press conference sketch

You can get ones with heated water and warm air drying capability (they are more than $30 though)

thunderbolt

Heh 😏

I guess some people just want it all done for them or something.
