• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ad blocking is alive and well, despite Chrome's attempts to make it harder⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I can only speak for myself, but when I first looked into ad blocking I was only looking into it because of animated ads/ads with audio. Static ads were easy enough to ignore 95% of the time, which of course is why they escalated them to be more obnoxious. So now they’re all blocked of course, they overreached and it cost them any ad views from me. I imagine I’m probably not alone in that.

  Well that certainly wasn’t on my bingo card

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What actually happens in a DDOS attack?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I could be wrong but I believe the “breaking” you’re talking about is the fact that requests need to be responded to within a certain amount of time, so if you slow things down to the point that requests timeout before they can be responded to, it fully “breaks” instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the United States of America was renamed, what should it be?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we’ve got it the wrong way around, someone should flip us over and see if that fixes things

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the United States of America was renamed, what should it be?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can get behind that if we pretend we did it because of the Tom Hanks movie

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big AI has PC users furious. Nvidia and Micron's weird emotional appeals make it worse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They ain’t gonna optimize shit, they’ll tell us to turn on DLSS/FSR/XeSS or enjoy 30 FPS, or for just $59.99 a month here’s time limited access to a streaming computer that can run at decent framerate (no games included)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm about to get fired. How do I make sure my next job is a better place to work?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  idk, but if you aren’t already, make sure you’re documenting everything you can, saving any communications you can, you never know when you might need that kind of stuff

  Apparently they don’t even bother with that now, they’ll go after anyone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have two questions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry about that, it was more of an expression than being directed at you specifically if that makes it better.

  And idk, if being in favor of worker owned collectives is all it takes, then yes. The more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know. Could be a shit idea actually, but it seems good to me for now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have two questions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Yes, and all the other companies that aren’t monopolies should also be worker owned collectives.

  2. I don’t fucking know man, I don’t know any animators.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I publish my memoir and wrote about every bad thing people did to hurt me while the people mentioned are still alive, how much trouble could I get in?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Instead of a memoir, why not make it “fictional”? Change the names, slap on a boilerplate “any resemblance to actual persons or events is coincidental” disclaimer, call it a day.

  IANAL, not legal advice, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a chance to look through?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Threw a bunch of Youtube tabs into a bookmark folder with the month and the year, then closed them all. Did the same about 6 months ago, haven’t really touched any of those and probably won’t touch any of the new ones either. But they’re out of the way now.
