Post images you like and/or find meaningful to you.

Took a good picture? Post it.

Took a bad picture, but it’s of your cat? Post it anyway.

What exactly do you need from a Discord replacement?

There’s a LOT of options, with varying features so if you don’t need certain things it gets a lot easier to suggest what might work.

Vance was groomed to lead this movement

If you want some fun tin-foil conspiracy thing, there’s one I heard that I both find entirely plausible AND actually believe.

Basically, when (not an if) Trump dies or is otherwise removed, Vance will come out as the ‘We’ve had a hard time, what with our last president being a batshit insane rot brained moron. I’m going to undo the worst of his decisions, and get MAGA back on Track’.

And presto, we now have moved to the competent dear leader part of this whole play, and everyone from creepy neocons to the bleeding heart-ist liberals will applaud and say what a lovely thing this is, and all this change is good!

Except it’s the same shit, just sane washed, because it’s not hard to be LESS insane than the Tangerine.

Americans tend to buy the most car they think they can afford.

Hell, Americans buy the most car they can finagle a loan for, independent of if they can or can’t actually afford it.

It wouldn’t be surprising to find that a good portion of Tesla buyers are stuck in the trap where they owe so much on it that there’s no way they could afford the hit to replace it, because they can barely make their payments now.

For real: I’m using a 38" ultra wide, and if you had told child me that a 38" monitor would be the smallest display in the house I’d have told you that you’re full of shit.

She works at Google, not Yandex.

Though I’m sure Google could manage something equally mysterious.

If the past few years have taught me ANYTHING, it’s that at least half the “gamers” are cheering the deportations on, so uh, yeah, anyway…

Not that I disagree, but putting it in the hands of a foundation that’s beholden to corporate money isn’t exactly going to be the solution to “eventually messing up stuff”.

Even if he did, how could you tell the difference between the holes dementia has made and the holes a worm would make?

While that’s true, “I’m sorry that you got upset at what I did” is in no way actually an apology or an admission that they might have been wrong, so…

At least: I’m probably at 5x what the guns cost in training, ammo, gear, range fees, gas to and from the range (live in a city, so most local ranges don’t exactly let you shoot 5.56) and so on.

Not the cheapest hobby if you’re planning on actually serious about being able to use your guns if something makes that necessary.

I’m going go assume from your instance you’re not American, but the big flaw in your logic is if you come after me with a pipe, I’m absolutely within my rights to put holes into you until you stop moving.

Vigalante justice is going to get the people who think they’re “doing a good thing” killed, and with zero consequences to the pedos who shoot them.

Perhaps a more adult, informed, nuanced take is of use here?

You have to go at it the other way, now:

As someone of modest means, I fully support and endorse giving billoinaires more money. After all, if they don’t have money, then what will trickle down to me?

Wait no that’s still not funny at all.

Basically, think ChatGPT

lot of people from the US with gas grid (which we don’t really have around here), is it really so that your Joe Average can’t tell the difference between 1kWh of heat produced by gas compared to electricity

Right, because for most people gas is metered and sold by the CCF, and not converted into kW at any point in the chain.

So I know i used 30ccf last month, but there’s zero indication what that is in kW, because we usually don’t convert between the meter (which is volumetric) and the billing, which could be anything but why bother?

Installed yes, but the OOBE that runs (assuming the OEM didn’t fuck it up) is more or less the same as a retail install: you have to add the account, untick the 300 ‘yes, please spy on me’ boxes, and tell it that you do not want office 14 times.

100% this.

If you did a venn diagram of ‘Worst possible implementation’ and ‘What Mastodon Did’ you’d just have a circle.

Don’t let it connect to the wifi/internet?

I mean, sure, you have to do the SD card shuffle, but it’ll guarantee you don’t end up having to deal with this.

If you have a more advanced set of network hardware (which it doesn’t sound like you do) you could add a firewall rule to block traffic from the LAN IP of the printer, or for something like Unifi, simply block internet access entirely. But, even then, if you screw it up now or in the future, surprise software updates will happen.

This is also a royal pain if you’re into retro computers and want anything from like 2001-2004, because damn near every single motherboard from those eras need to be recapped, like, without exception. Either they’re dead, or they will be soon.

Super annoying to get a thing you want to play with and the first thing you have to do is replace 20 caps and spend 3 hours doing it before you can even see if it would otherwise even work, lol.
