... is someone forcing you to type these comments? use an em-dash if yes, ascii hyphen if no
"but what about proof of stake??!1?” is almost old enough to drive a car at this point
i think you've answered your own question there
"ah, but you see, THIS piece of space garbage came from a totally unrelated space-garbage-launching mission"
If they deal with it using reaction formation (another of Freud’s maladaptive defenses), you get the self-hating nerd, aka the sort of person who joins Sneerclub.
evidently Scott's theory of mind is so malformed he can only conceptualize other men as different (imperfect) clones of himself
i specify men here because we know he considers women closer to viruses or perhaps large parasites
i am continuously reminded of the fact that the only things the slop machine is demonstrably good at -- not just passable, but actively helpful and not routinely fucking up at -- is "generate getters and setters"
if i could find my old copy of The New Way Things Work, i would absolutely go find the seven-segment LCD section and general-purpose computing pages to post here
we demonstrably have a better grasp of consent than the (rest of the) tech industry at large
i'll go against the grain here: Librewolfs's defaults are firmly "meh" for me. still an improvement over the "what the fuck" that's happening in Firefox.
pros: nixs the annoying Pocket / AI / "suggested" nonsense by default. no annoying extras.
neutrals: Firefox Sync is off, but one click and a restart to turn back on. reasonable for a non-Mozilla project. no cookies saved by default might be annoying for some, but you can add exceptions right from the URL bar and i only have a dozen or so of those set for various sites. gods, cohost is still in that list...
cons: ResistFingerprinting is IMHO way overkill and breaks nice things like automatic dark modes just for preserving privacy in the 0.001% of cases where browser fingerprinting matters. same as WebGL being off by default -- i just don't need that kind of protection
i still recommend it. Disable ResistFingerprinting, enable WebGL, enable Firefox Sync, and decide for yourself if you want auto-clearing cookies or not. i also always enable vertical tabs because my horizontal space is a lot less constricted than my vertical. (it's a FF feature!)
i can't believe the media is straw manning me. but actually now that you've said the horrible things i don't wanna say out loud that sounds good actually, let's do that
