  Too much gas eh. Or ice/crispy snow underneath. Then you need something more grippy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Tips for a Winter Storm⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Another thing with getting your car out of snow is to put something with traction underneath the tires. E.g. some gravel if you have it, a blanket, or the car mats under each wheel. That little extra traction can definitely mean the difference.

  It did kind of give that alpha stage vibe, but if it was like a few bucks, it probably buy it. It was a remake after all, with slightly better graphics.

  I’m thinking if that happens, there will be enough reason since a while back to already have taken the gun out 😅

  Does it have its own battery then? What does the fingerprint reader use to draw power?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK the four rules of firearm safety⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Does that come with a backup generator in case they cut off electricity?

  Saw an article recently about this 10 year old who shot his dad in the head while the dad slept next to the mother. Kid found the key to the gun storage when searching for the Nintendo Switch his dad took away from him, and he was angry at the dad, found the gun… Now he has no dad. Mom woke up to a loud bang and the sound of liquid pouring on the floor.

  Devastating read. Really tragic.

  Depends on the car probably, and volume.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, on multiple computers. Linux I feel will just happily hand out memory on loan like a bank rather than from what’s actually available. Then when it runs out, the next request for more memory will just freeze the system. ☠️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s just that the system freezes for me when I used to run out of memory when I had only 32 GB of memory. Then I couldn’t do anything and had to hard reset the computer with its reset button. Then it would be nice to have a little bit of swap to kill some stuff before literally everything just stops working.

  I had a feeling they were talking about polyamory, but I wasn’t sure since it felt a lot like over-sharing. But I guess it’s good to announce any and all use cases for something like this, why not. 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nametag: Self-hostable personal relationships manager⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pardon my ignorance but what is a poly group?

  That makes sense!

  Okay cool, thanks. So then that begs the question, in what way was this replacement ineffective?

  What was this “þ to ‘th’ replacement” movement supposed to accomplish? Prevent LLM-feeding scraping from producing anything useful?

  And what does the change log entry mean practically? People who type þ will have their input changed to “th” before posting?

  More posts than I’ve made in over two years.

  Awful article and post, in that case. Down voting. Thank you! Have my up vote.

  To spark more outrage along your peers and get more people protesting. To show that this is something with dying for.

  That’s my interpretation anyway.

  That thread ender, holy. Well said.

  I’m thinking she could have made mistakes on her brows early in her life. That could also be the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do not get Nazi content lol. Sometimes I’ll see some right wing shit on there but I just go in and press “don’t recommend this channel” on all those before even watching it. It’s been a long time now since I’ve seen a recommendation that doesn’t suit me.

  But yeah, not everyone can control YouTube, or themselves, like I can. All I’m saying is that I like shorts. I do agree that they can be dangerous. 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with everything you said, to some degree. I’m just saying that shorts on my account are great, because I’ve honed my algorithm over many years so that it only gives me relevant stuff. I never see anything I don’t want to see, basically. My Watch Later list overfloweth. 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the fact that no useful information can fit in that short a video.

  Have to disagree with the notion that this is a fact. I watch informative and interesting shorts all the time. Plenty out there if you have the right subscriptions and are careful with how you use the service.

  E.g. you must never scroll shorts. Watch the ones you want to see, then back out, so you never see anything that pollutes your account history.

  If you see something you don’t like, put a negative vote on it, me yve even click “don’t see this account again” or whatever it’s called. And vice versa, upvote and subscribe to stuff you like.

  It requires some effort but for me it’s worth the interesting content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the key. I never scroll shorts. I only click deliberately on the ones I know I want to see. Then back out. This way there is little to no pollution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh. I love shorts. I have a curated YouTube account that shows me very interesting shorts about science, music, gaming, comedy, PC building, web development, tech news, etc etc. I wonder why people don’t like shorts. Using YouTube without being logged in?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t remember seeing any banners before GDPR?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not about making users hate them. It’s about collecting data,

  Making users hate GDPR and revolting against it is a means to that end though, of collecting data.
