I know this, but it’s a barrier for anyone who doesn’t.

Here’s an interesting point. I just went to an nsfw sub to see if I’d get that prompt, and it gives me two ways to verify - selfie or photo ID. The photo ID has to be “government issued”, and maybe I don’t have one of those. The selfie is a link for a phone, using a QR code and I don’t have a phone that can scan QR codes.

This means that in order to access said sub, I’d need to buy a new phone or wait 30 days or whatever to buy some kind of ID. Even with all the other reasons this sucks, that seems discriminatory.

My feed is now full of cocaine slop.

Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life.

Any more so than vanilla Chrome?

Doesn’t Firefox still have brand recognition though? I’d have thought even people who answer “google” to “what browser do you use” would have heard of firefox, and therefore looked it up rather than using the neurons to ask, “what alternative browsers are there?”

I’m embarrassed my country is as low as 75% here.

Fermented omelet

You’re right, you know.

Yeah, I just had to search for this because I thought, I missed that too!

A unibody phone can’t be missing parts

I went to a lot of different primary schools (UK here, that’s up-to-11-years-old) and there absolutely were ones where this happened. There were also good ones.

My parents got called to school more than once because i was “disruptive” and kept doing things like wandering around class talking to people or not turning up after breaks. I was bored. My parents said, if I’ve done the work and it’s all correct can’t they give me something else to do? So they made me answer the same set of questions again once I finished them.

I don’t understand the language used in this article. It skirts around the details, which are obviously, “tell the user to run a command and hope they do it”, and it talks about a “hardcoded BAT file”. Wat.

I spent a lot of time on computers (shocker, right?) and that was seen as nerdy and weird when I was at school. Even after I got my first real job, I remember my girlfriend dismissing things I’d say because “nobody cares about your stupid internet”. Predictable rest of comment is predictable.

Punk was big in the late 70s - mid 80s, though? I thought the big boom was early 80s. It was buried under things like nu-metal and emo in the late 90s (I’m fuzzy on this because of reasons).

A few years ago I played a game called Spelltower, but it stopped working. I also played about 15 minutes of Carmageddon before losing interest one time.

Haven’t played a game on my phone since, though. I think it’s a frustrating experience trying to play anything on a device like a phone.

Isn’t that the Pacific ocean?

Don’t skip sandwich day.

Sure.

But someone offered it $100 for a six pack of Bru and it declined, and they’re taking this as a hilarious failure, because a real human would be a real scumbag and take the cash pretending it was the right amount. So it’s not capitalist-level evil yet.
