For fun, I booted up a old 2005 laptop with windows xp on it. The bookmarks were all dead. And most weren’t archived in any way.

There’s were many browser games I used to play that is completely lost in time.

Huggingchat for image generation is beautiful beautiful nightmare fuel.

I seriously love it.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Those plastic blades are ridiculously sharp.

Broke a chair just like that and as a test, touched it with my hand. Immediately had to bring it outside because my idiot furry children or my real human children would hurt themselves.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Absolutely this!

My two closest friends were scenarios where I met them outside the activity. Usually walking to the car and noticing something to spark a convo, or someone making a recommendation for a “after-hours social event”.

Fun trick I do with my children is to way things like “Oh yeah you don’t want that. It’s forbidden” if I want them to read more about it.

The app I use to write notes needs access to everyone in my Contacts. For “reasons”.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I was confused because yeah… Why is this gif using a GUI?

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Maybe it’s making fun of windows users who go through a 3-100 step install wizard?

It’s not making fun of Macs, which IMO has the slickest installs of just dragging.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Only way I know how.

Potatos_are_not_friends, (edited )

Installing on a Mac looks like this.

  1. Click on the app package you downloaded
  2. Then verify that you do want to install it by dragging it

Imo it’s very intuitive, clean and clever. No wrong way to do it.

The listings are at times preposterously detailed, often containing additional names and numbers for people’s emergency contacts, their parents, their siblings, their friends, even their children, all alongside hundreds of car phones, yacht phones, guest houses, and private office lines. Some individuals have dozens of numbers and addresses listed, while others list just a single number and first name. Epstein collected people, and if you ever had any interaction with him or Ghislaine Maxwell, his onetime girlfriend and alleged accomplice, you more than likely ended up in this book, and then several years later you received a call from me.

And

The worst call by far was with a woman who told me she’d been groped by Epstein, an incident she said she didn’t report at the time out of fear of retribution from Epstein. (I have been aggressively counseled to remind the readers of Mother Jones that an appearance in the address book is not evidence of any crime, or of complicity in any crime, or of knowledge of any crime.)

Key things to remember about this list.

Comments like this reminded me of how dark of a world it used to be.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

That’s a pretty sweet deal.

Just gotta spray it with chemicals and seal up any potential loose compartments before I bring it inside.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Not really. It’s not magical money that just appears.

It’s redistributed money.

Things may increase in price, not because of greed, but because supply and demand jumped dramatically. Think of all the people who now have money to buy random things like treats or toys.

That’s not a bad thing! Suddenly, companies need to hire more people to increase supply, because people have resources to spend.

Expensive stuff still exists. No matter what. But the bare minimum quality of life increases dramatically.

I think the comic could use a touch up if so many people are missing the joke.

It took me a moment. But it shouldn’t.

Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

I have a few Linux servers at home that I regularly remote into in order to manage, usually logged into KDE Plasma as root. Usually they just have several command line windows and a file manager open (I personally just find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the...

Your frame of mind is “dangerous”. If you are browsing on your servers as root, you need to not manage servers anymore. If that sounded harsh, learn about attack surface area first and then I might let you back in the server room.

You sir/ma’am hit it right on the head.

The “run root on Firefox” isn’t the issue, it’s the red flag. Security is a mindset. Failure to understand the core philosophy of why we have roles and permissions means you’re untrusted. It really isn’t personal. It’s security.

NGL, Im kinda afraid of creating new communities out of fracturing the already tight knit front page.

I love seeing familiar faces.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Yeah. You’re missing bots regurgitating old posts into new ones, and ai bots responding to that. You’re missing the thousands of samesies “What [movie/video game/song] do you like but everyone hates” You’re missing obvious troll posts like “AITA for defending my 6yo from nearly being a rape victim?”

Fun fact - presidents pay out of pocket to host these dinners. It’s not a write off or anything, it’s straight cash.

Other fun fact - Trump absolutely loves McDonald’s.

So this trashy guy hosted a fancy dinner with McDonald’s, and paid about $1000 for it.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Back in the 90s, saying the earth was flat meant you were open to talking through hypothetical science and creating wild theories. You knew the truth, but you never wanted to break kafabe. The sheer sillyness was part of the fun.

Today, saying the earth is flat means youre a flat out moron who lacks other critical thinking skills. It’s a warning sign that you also have other troubling thoughts.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

It still works now.

100% of people drowned are absolutely not witches!

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Hell yeah C’s get degrees while perfect A students tend to burn up in the world
