Honestly, I don’t even code much, and I didn’t at all when I downloaded emacs, but it’s so damn useful that it stays open any time my PC is on. Only time I close it is to make sure that my files stay synced when I leave my laptop on, and do something on my desktop.

Not anymore, but when collars were first added to clothing it was for comfort. It was in the mid 1400s, and clergy wore really stiff tunics with high necks, so they started wearing collared shirts underneath them for comfort. Shirts were also exclusively undergarments at the time.

After those came the big ruffly Elizabethan collars for wealth/status symbols, then detachable collars (shirts were still underwear!), and then WWI happened, and soldiers were issued soft shirts instead of stiff outer clothes as outerwear since it was more practical. That then leads us to the collared shirts of today because that preference came to civilian life from the war.

This, though if you start it start kinda slow. 1tbsp per day for a week, up it to 2, then 3. I tried starting at 3 and it had some wild symptoms (most people just get gassy/bloated though)

I’m not sure if bluetooth hacking is enough of a concern to be a problem? I’ve never heard of any major cases of it, and of all things, I doubt a music player would be a high enough value target for them to bother with? Could do something meant to spread to other devices, sure, but… I doubt the risk is high enough to be a primary concern.

Semi-related, but I did learn something: The modern name for MP3 players is DAP (Digital Audio Player), which can help with searching for them.

It’s opt-out. The default experience of DDG is with AI. They have a subdomain without AI, and you can disable it on the main domain.

Opt-in would be if it were disabled by default on the main domain, and they had a subdomain for AI.

Yeah, with the way activity pub works it doesn’t pull the old info, it just gets new posts. I know you can usually take a link to a post and search it and it’ll pull, but Friendica didn’t get anything from one of the trail links, though friendica is picky

Poked around, there’s a demo instance with a demo account. Plugged it into Friendica, and it seems to pull the info.

Not sure where you are in the world, but 4tb drives are $80? Which like. $80 is a lot when you ain’t got it, but in computer terms it’s probably the cheapest part in the box

RAM’s expensive, storage has gotten pretty cheap, at least for HDDs.

Honestly I assumed it was the people you’d share your bomb shelter with for a while.

Given your sunny disposition, I’ll politely decline.

Two word horror story: Webdings mono

Most countries. The bigger concern is typically whether they can compell them to keep logs, which not all can. Sweden (I believe) is one where they can compell a company to share logs, but not keep logs

I like it! Bookmarking for future reference, since it seems helpful. Only thing I’d noticed that I think would be a good addition: Some kind of XMPP client, at least one of them. I use Dino on desktop primarily (fairly modern UI, has the core features in, but is made for GNOME so looks a bit funky on anything else), but Kaidan, Pidgin, and a few others exist.

I was gonna make a comment about how it’s only base 60 up to a certain point because I was going to make a comment about how it’s only base 60 math, but since you can only go up to 99 minutes, it is just base 60 math but formatted in base 10 because fuck us I guess.

Whoever invented how we measure time was an asshole

Given how they eat now, probably olive oil mixed with herbs. Hell they still eat that, and it’s delicious tbh

I both love, and hate this. Thanks.

I switched off of KDE, and now I miss being able to do it

This is what I do. I use strawberry on desktop, and all of it is linked to ListenBrainz for recommendations

For comparability with each other, this table from Hagezi’s block list on github is a good reference

Honestly the difference mostly comes down to the software you use, from what I can tell. Generally if you use an extension it will be more comprehensive in the blocking, since some sites (like YouTube) serve ads from their own domains.

Also, the Adblock format is what’s used by a lot of the software that blocks ads at a DNS level, at least that consumers will use. Per the table it supports Pi-hole, AdGuard, AdGuard Home, eBlocker, uBlock Origin, Brave (only in aggressive mode), AdNauseam, and Little Snitch Mini, which is pretty comprehensive.

Aside that there’s hosts if you want to do it on a Linux desktop. I don’t recommend that, as you need to manually update the list every so often, though I’m sure it could be automated if you really want to.

Personally I just shoved one of Hagezi’s into AdGuard Home and called it a day. I check it about once a week to see what domains are getting pinged most, and block any suspicious ones.

Edit: No idea why the table condensed that much in the picture, removing it since it’s not really useful if you can’t see the whole table

Here’s hoping they put their money where their mouth is.
