  I once met a girl who could relax her asshole, suck in air and fart on command. It was her party trick. I was impressed.

  1998. I need help with Final Fantasy 7.

  Buddy recommends this site I’ve not heard about, Game Facks.

  It did not contain game FAQ’s.

  Also, whitehouse.com, as was the style of the time.

  That’s not how it works, at least not in my experience…

  What you consider to be civil, thoughtful and graceful I might consider barbaric, thoughtless and brutish.

  This goes for every statement of yours that entails some sort of objective threshold beyond the argument that those who speaks the loudest are often the ones that are heard the most.

  I’m sure we have opposing views on some subjects and I maintain that I might have spent more time reflecting on them than you. Does that mean that you are wrong and I am right? Or perhaps that we reflect on things in different light, inevetably ending up with different conclusions - Both equally valid?

  After reflecting on the topic of subjective world views for quite some time, I feel I can confidently hold the latter opinion.

  maybe its just me, but directly opposes human conscience, I am not exactly sure how can you cheer genocide when you actively see people suffering who are trapped in such situations

  Considering the amounts of war and genocides, both in the current era with “modern” sensibility, not to mention historical atrocities…

  You’re in the minority for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are platforms like reddit just "internet noise" and bots or just genuinely the darkest parts of humanity?⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  you have a belief system and from that belief system, they look insane to you, but also vice versa.

  Everybody is somebody else’s fucking idiot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmit.online⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the admin has to host all that content, which I imagine contains 0.01% interesting stuff for less than 1% of the users.

  Last time I ran a Lemmy instance I used like 300GB in a few weeks and that was just by firehosing ALL Lemmy posts. Storage gets bloated fast unless the admin actively implements hacks, like not caching media content. But that kind of defeats the purpose of federation IMO.

  No but they can buy tickets to Airbuses. Low price carrier where I’m at has both. When booking I simply ask for an Airbus flight and decline any offer of hopping aboard a Boeing.

  If nothing is available I’ll either wait for a later flight, not go at all or book a regular priced flight at a competitor offering Airbus.

  Only exception is in emergencies.

  That’s fair, though my experience is almost directly the opposite of you when it comes to page rendering and fingerprinting. I do miss the video player pop-out though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Under the hood: How Firefox suggests tab groups with local AI | The Mozilla Blog⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not satisfied with merely disabling, I want it gone. I’m not satisfied with having to edit flags to disable it.

  I have not seen a single case of FF outperforming or providing a better experience on desktop compared to other browsers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Under the hood: How Firefox suggests tab groups with local AI | The Mozilla Blog⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What a nightmare Firefox has become, my experience going to a bog-standard de-googled chromium browser has shown me truly how much I’ve given up all in the name of open standards and free software. After roughly 20 years with Firefox I don’t think I’m ever coming back. The decline is accelerating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Server notifications on fedi⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fedi doesn’t support secure communication, that’s why (the last time I dove into the subject) lemmy has a profile field for yer Matrix account. Encrypted communication. Mails are usually hosted on “reputable” services and has some sort of privacy agreement, something I’ve yet to see on a fedi site.

  And if you think of lemmy or mastodon as a communication service rather than a publishing platform, you’re probably being spied on more than you expect.

  Fedi logins would require an account backend, which is quite a way aways from the fediverse as far as I know. Not to mention it would require a stable, permanent fedi provider with absolute trust.

  For a simple e-mail server you could use a server management suite like YunoHost, comes with a working mail server right out of the box. For only recieving registration mails and notification you wouldn’t even have to mess with online spam filters due to not being GAFAM.

  Someone mentioned UnifiedPUSH, which is nice but has very limited platform support at the moment as it has to be added to every single site and app. As far as I know it also sends notifications only using transport encryption so the server admin would have access to your notifications. Better to self-host, best to self-host at home on your own hardware.
