I’d counter that this is common enough and not notable if human does it to an extent that there is no way to quantify cat death rates to driverless cars vs human driven cars. Like when electric car fires were all the news rage, they were so rare it made the news when any other car fire would not.

Happy cake day!

A car running over a cat is newsworthy?

daft enough to use a free one

C’mon, it’s 4chan we’re talking about here. The gambit runs from “yes, that daft” to “good luck, I’m behind 7 proxies”.

they will be blocked in the UK

This is the only real solution, and it’s a inconvenient one at best to surfers thanks to solutions like VPN.

Can’t stop the signal

Apple also sells a physical product in the UK. Microsoft and Apple both sell a virtual service/product in the UK. 4chan only gets revenue from you looking at posters and clicking those posters on their website.

UK can get fucking bent. Come and take it.

Does the UK think they have jurisdiction over my server just because some twat from the UK visits my site? If so, there’s a reason why we fought a war nearly 250 years ago that said that a stupid fucking idea. Colonialism is a dead ideology

Yeah, I don’t think you really understand how the internet works. Their presence is in the country where their servers are. People from the UK essentially go to another country to visit 4chan. If the UK doesn’t like that the onus should be on them to block that access, but that is also a stupid idea thanks to VPNs.

RIP in peace yellow dog linux

I bought Detroit become human on the steam sale. Gonna finally give it a go

It’s what I did. I bought a used pixel 8 and only regretted it after the recent strong of Google shenanigans. I’m still looking for a proper Linux phone solution in the meantime. I’d rather not have to be reliant on anything Google does in the future.

We need details please

This sounds like the income tax in the USA. They won’t tell you how much you owe in tax, but if you’re wrong then they’ll bring the hammer down.

Is meta the official term for that key? I always called it the super key. Just curious

Tongue in cheek probably because Sony shipped rootkits on their music CDs

Before Trump, the “traditional” social media was likely pushing the Democrats’ agenda (like the Twitter files under the guise of more moderation. Now the tactic is being used by the Trump administration just more in the open and in more traditional media (Jimmy Kimmel). Big media is such an easy target for govt influence when it’s all ad supported.

I’d bet they see the writing on the wall that the government has too much influence in social media. So this time they don’t want to be caught with their pants down when Democrats come back into power. The other thing I feel is on the horizon is the end of the ad supported internet. I’ve said it before, be prepared to do it yourself or pay for it. I guarantee the guys behind this instance is in the do it yourself camp.

Disclaimer: I am libertarian and view both DNC and GOP as different sides of the same authoritarian coin. Right wing flavored, left wing flavored, both are disgusting when it’s authoritarianism.

So long as you can still have GrapheneOS and others. Google’s handling of pushing updates and device tree shows how fragile that actually is. Linux phone is going to be the best solution so long as Google runs Android

There was a time when you could have a platform that ran with components from all 3. Intel CPU, AMD GPU, and nvidia’s nForce chipset on the mobo.

Where does sadistic curiosity about Slackware fit on this graph after daily driving OpenSuSE Tumbleweed?

I’d say more effort went into the software which sets us up for where we are now where a great deal of PC games is already compatible making this a must buy for playing the massive libraries that everyone has been amassing since 2003. If it can boot Plasma Bigscreen or if Steam Big Picture gets more entertainment apps like Netflix, it will be a home entertainment juggernaut.

I already am running GrapheneOS and at this point I’m ready to just be done with Android. The way Google has been fucking over the GrapheneOS guys makes me realize that so long as Google controls the upstream, they can fuck us all over.
