- Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope 2 weeks ago:
-
sometimes they just add too much by mistake. They don’t want to kill their customers but they don’t know enough to safely spike their product every time, partially because:
-
different people react to the same drugs dfferently too. A fentanyl dose that won’t harm Jack at all can be deadly for Jill, even if all the other variables like what it’s mixed with and in whah ratio are the same.

Sure you do. It’s not at all a transparent attempt to prolong the bubble.
- Comment on Watchtower replacement recommendations 3 weeks ago:
Good to know. Personally I prefer to review the changelogs before updating, though.
- Comment on Watchtower replacement recommendations 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t tried Arcane. I prefer Komodo’s interface over Portainer but Portainer worked better for me. I was running Portainer and Dockpeek for updates but Dockhand has replaced both, and IMO the interface is even better than Komodo’s. I’m still learning, there are features I don’t know much about like stack management, which I still do manually.
- Comment on Watchtower replacement recommendations 3 weeks ago:
Dockhand can search for updates but you have to install them manually. Which I prefer anyway, plus Dockhand also replaced Portainer/Komodo for me.

You must be so much fun to hang out with IRL.
- Comment on Google Search referrals to the web have plummeted, AI links are 'less than 1%' of traffic 3 weeks ago:
I use DDG and SearXNG several times per day. It’s better at finding information in StackOverflow and Reddit threads than directly searching in those sites and it’s the only way I know how to actively seek out websites I haven’t been referred to by anyone.
- Comment on It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology 3 weeks ago:
Speaking as someone who isn’t a juggalo, it’s clear that the subculture represents a lot more people than just the ones who identify with it. Like with Punk, a lot of outsiders don’t look past the aesthetic to realize that they’re trying to convey an important social message and be a voice for disenfranchised groups. They aren’t just people in clown make-up, they’re people who were fucked over by society and this is the outlet they found. Sadly it’s easier to laugh at memes about magnets than to confront their reality.
I’d include the rap subculture as well but sadly their message became diluted when they achieved mainstream success and were co-opted by the marketing amd propaganda machine as another tool to perpetuate the Spectacle.

Every day I thank the Gods for having met my partner, and no longer needing to use dating apps is a huge part of it.
Anyway, does the word “enshittification” even make sense when the service was already shit to begin with? How do we even refer to a move like this? “Shittiness diversification”?

I use Jellyfin for video but it doesn’t strike me as the best for audio…

Thanks a lot for the tips!

It’s a self-hosted music streaming server. Basically a build-your-own-Spotify.

Haven’t Amazon and Netflix been doing that for a long time already?
- Comment on Spotify playing ads for paid subscribers 3 weeks ago:
Likewise. I’ve been putting off satting up a Soulseek+Navidrome stack on my home server. I’m sure there’s a way to integrate ListenBrainz suggestions too. First ad I hear, I’m doing it.

Native Portuguese and English, fluent Spanish, absolutely terrible German, and the one semester of French I took just made me determined to never speak it. “Quatre-vingt-douze” isn’t a number, it’s an algebra problem.

Interesting, thanks.

How do you mean about India? Please pardon my ignorance.
- Comment on MidnightBSD Bans Users in Brazil and California, Warns More Regions Could Follow 4 weeks ago:
Great analysis. But I’ve never heard of an OS that comes pre-loaded with porn, or with any media content other than the wallpapers and a few stock samples. Though I suppose there’s nothing stopping anyone from creating Bukkake Linux and shipping it.
- Comment on MidnightBSD Bans Users in Brazil and California, Warns More Regions Could Follow 4 weeks ago:
You’re right to give that warning, but Brazil isn’t a surveillance state like China or the USA. Our demons are different.
Of course, that could change in the future so a law like this shouldn’t stand regardless.
- Comment on MidnightBSD Bans Users in Brazil and California, Warns More Regions Could Follow 4 weeks ago:
Not the Brazilian government, is what I’m saying. At most they’ll tell ISPs to block a few websites, and they won’t comply without a judicial order. Our Supreme Court, STF, is actually sane unlike our legislators, so no such order will be given.
- Comment on MidnightBSD Bans Users in Brazil and California, Warns More Regions Could Follow 4 weeks ago:
Speaking as a brazilian resident, the law will not be enforced. No such laws are ever enforced here. Everybody openly pirates everything, people sell retro gaming systems preloaded with thousands of ROMs openly online and in physical shops, and the government doesn’t even have 1% of the surveillance infrastructure needed to make enforcement attractive. The law is just electoral posturing and lip service to please evangelical idiots… but I repeat myself.

Have a nice day.

When you acted exasperated at having to explain something, for example. Or now, asking for proof that you were mad. These things are not done in normal, polite conversation.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 1 month ago:
So you literally got mad at a made-up scenario in your head?
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 1 month ago:
And why would this particular law exempt Azure Linux only and specifically?
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 1 month ago:
I meant that the law is easily bypassed, for example by not implementing what you described. Good point nonetheless.

What does that have to do with anything?
