• Navidrome server to store music

And if you want to support an artist, buying a single song for $0.99 on Bandcamp will give them more money than your total streams on Spotify ever would, even if you pirate the rest

Remember it’s not just ads. This info is sent to insurance companies too

Most people wish that game could be erased from the timeline IRL too

Use your browser’s reader mode, it usually bypasses any popups like this

Japan also has 2 incompatible power grids, with the north running on 50Hz and the south running on 60Hz

Ah yes, the vagina nostrils

As far as I’m aware, alpine isn’t designed for regular use, but as a minimal distro for container environments. Of course there’s technically nothing stopping you from using it on a desktop but you’re likely to be on your own in terms of support

The server should still support mods fine. You’ll need to find a launcher that supports your OS, your mods and drasl-based authentication.

Texture packs will be fine, you can change them in game

Something that may influence your decision: Minecraft by default requires a Microsoft account.

Look into Drasl if you want to set up a Minecraft server without needing one

Does this mean they’ll finally be adding calls to the web version?

Yes, because if you can figure out which part of the procedure broke down leading to that switch being flipped, you can figure out ways to prevent that from happening again. That’s much harder to do with just audio.

I’m curious where the security theater accusation comes from

Closed source ad-block that allows “unobtrusive” ads by default. They also ran a scheme a few years ago that replaced ads on web pages with their own and paid users tiny amounts of cryptocurrency for viewing them.

All this is marketed by them as browsing securely

Opera, like Edge and Brave is just Chrome in a trenchcoat

I’m no expert, but I read that self hosting your own instance doesn’t actually help with privacy since the search providers still track those requests and if you’re the only one using it, that’s just tracking you with extra steps.

Of course if you use a public instance, you have to then trust that the instance isn’t tracking you

No character growth, no arc, just in one scene he has no trouble murdering an innocent guy WHO HELPED HIM BTW, but later refuses to take out a military target HE WAS SUPPOSED to kill.

Yeah, it’s almost like the target he was about to assassinate could be the only person in the galaxy who knows how to take out the weapon he just witnessed level a city.

To say nothing of crapping all over the iconic opening of Star Wars by having Vader watch the Death Star plans fly away, personally, with his own eyes.

Those two scenes line up perfectly and imo are quite satisfying when watching the two films back to back. In what way does Rogue One’s ending “crap all over” A New Hope’s opening?

Either that or Danish. They love that stuff over there for some reason

Remember Microsoft Tay? Remember how it got turned off in minutes for saying stuff like this? This is the timeline we live in.

At the start of the year, we were having to kill 50 or more a day, some of them were huge, prehistoric era looking things. By the end of the year, we were only finding 1-2 a day and they were much smaller so we were definitely putting a lot of pressure on the population. Not sure if we would have wiped them out completely if we’d had to stay longer but I certainly wasn’t gonna stay in that place any longer than I had to.

Third year in University - when we moved in, it hadn’t been cleaned from the previous tenants, my parents were kind enough to come and help us clean and it took the five of us (during covid too so we were trying to social distance as much as we could) 3 days to get it into a livable state.

That was only the start though, over the course of those days cleaning, we started noticing these weird bugs everywhere. Yup. Massive silverfish infestation. Huge ones, small ones, every room, coming in through the floor, the walls, the ceiling, behind furnature, anywhere there was a gap, they’d slither out of. We had to spray insecticide all over the place which gave me bad headaches if there wasn’t enough ventilation.

Sometimes still, out of the corner of my eye, I’ll think I see one and kind of panic for a fraction of a second, I’m not sure if I’ll ever get over that.
