Why, a hexvex of course!

HexesofVexes,

I honestly just don’t use these services, and never recommend them, entirely because they are subscription-based.

As a model, it is largely focused on trapping the user who forgets to cancel. Many also use sneaky ways to avoid a user cancelling in time, and give no warnings.

HexesofVexes,

Honestly, why ruin something already raking in money hand over fist? Valve is profitable, sustainable, and all around well executed.

Messing with it would cut profits!

HexesofVexes,

Poor Mauro: they weren’t good at what they loved, they blamed others for their failings, and their community leader was nuts.

Jokes aside, we’ve already got toxic right there. Linus isn’t right, but someone like that would be fired with good cause. It’s one thing to make a mistake, it’s quite another to blame your co-workers for your own shoddy work.

What’s that Reddit phrase? ESH!

HexesofVexes,

Just remember, the argument relies on not just getting rid of cars, but drastically improving public transport.

World peace is more likely given government attitudes towards public services!

HexesofVexes,

It’s a tricky one because of the nature of the net. Let’s say we have three kids: Timmy, Jimmy and Harry.

Timmy starts looking up “tits”, because Timmy loves titties. He’s curious, and you probably want to have a talk about acting and how porn isn’t reality.

Jimmy, well, Jimmy saw a videogame character tied up and it made him feel good, so he starts looking for that online. He’s about to explore the BDSM scene. He’s going to need the “safe sane consensual” talk, otherwise his explorations might get him, or someone else, hurt. He’ll need more of a talk than Timmy!

Harry loves hentai; he found some when looking for pictures of his favourite cartoon character. Harry is going to need a long talk about fantasy Vs reality, otherwise he’s going to disappoint a lot of women! Wait a moment, most of the things he’s looking at involve animals and women… Might be time to get some therapy!

In all three of these cases a different style and level of parental intervention was required. You watch your kids because they’re kids, and kids are experts at getting themselves (and others) hurt. Parents need to watch their kids because it’s their job to intervene, and to decide the method of intervention.

However, we’ve not gone over the case of Lizzy, a girl cursed with religious fundamentalist parents. When they find out she’s more interested in girls than boys, she’ll be subjected to inhumane treatment to “fix” her. So there is a grey area here - not all parents should be parents.

HexesofVexes,

Y’see, back in the day parents were not technically literate because the world was mid-societal shift. “Protect the children” (because parents are unable to) had some justification.

Today, basic computer literacy is a survival skill in the UK. The level of literacy needed to track your own kid is not that high (or expensive to rent).

If you are letting kids use tech you don’t understand, and are not willing to invest the time/money to track yourself, that’s a you problem. It shouldn’t become a me problem.

As for “yeah but what about smart kids”, I’ve got some bad news for you. They will always find a way around ANYTHING you set up.

HexesofVexes,

“Equivalent of a DVD player OS” is now my go-to insult for a bad OS.

HexesofVexes,

You can hate the actions of something without hating the entity itself.

Gmail is ok for engaging with the commercial world, but it’s not great for emails between researchers as there is a privacy concern. Google search us great if you want to buy something or find a shop nearby, but not so great if you want I formation on repairing something.

Google’s current actions (trying to normalise as viewing, and the internet as a premium service) are both things I do hate though. I think whatever part of Google thought that up as a viable direction needs to have EVERY aspect of their lives content-bombed by Raid Shadow Legends ads (a company so predatory that gambling industry slot designers use them for inspiration).

HexesofVexes,

Classic fuck_cars - never change you guys.

HexesofVexes,

I can smell that photograph. Anyone got some oust handy?

Much better than body spray…

HexesofVexes,

Back in my day, we went with “giving it riz”.

HexesofVexes,

Quite simple really, every speed camera you put up usually ties in with a lowered speed limit.

HexesofVexes,

30mph - 30 miles in 1 hour 20mph - 20 miles in 1 hour, or 30 miles in 1.5 hours

However, you do have a point about the hell that is stop-start traffic.

HexesofVexes,

Damn right op, going at 30 rather than 20 is a terrible thing to do. Driving at 20 is the moral choice. Yes it means your commute will be 50% longer than if you’d driven at 30, but that’s a sacrifice we should all be willing to make, said no-one with a 2 hour daily commute.

HexesofVexes,

I wonder if I could put this up on my office wall and get away with it…

HexesofVexes,

Yup, and not just because of Reddit’s CEO.

The culture here is better - people read and reply rather than just upvoting. It’s a good place to help folks out, and be helped out.

HexesofVexes,

This is the kind of quality logical paradox I love!

I might move again. (Or not) (lemy.lol)

I moved from Lemmy.ml because I liked the name of Lemmy.world and it ran a newer Lemmy version which meant I could make communities. I moved from Lemmy.world because they defederated from piracy communities they didn’t even host (but for some reason still kept the small piracy community they DID host) From thelemmy.club...

HexesofVexes,

What we really need is an app with an ordered account list that allows you to view all the content from those accounts and when responding/contributing uses that order and picks the top one that is able to.

HexesofVexes,

mocp - For when you want to listen to music in terminal.

HexesofVexes,

Will give it a try!

Thanks for the recommend.
