  The singer of Chthonic, a Taiwanese metal band, explained this briefly in an acoustic libe recording. You do have to watch out which tone you choose exactly, otherwise the meaning can change drastically. I also think this is part of the “sound” that you get in these cultures.

  Do more! Do more! :D

  We do call it that in German as well, I mean, not colloquially, but it’s used in literature or poetry.

  Literally dodged a bullet there either way.

  Does that do anything beyond disabling DuckDuckGo’s own AI answering box at the top? Because I still get AI generated results on sites.

  You’re spinning in circles. I already admitted to understanding your point.

  Since you like writing in proverbs, sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. Give them a taste of their own medicine. Let them feel what it’s like to be on the reciving end.

  Those rich fucks tend to only pick fights with underpowered opponents, which is not that difficult due to their vast financial advantage. It’s only fair to level the playfield by such measures and one of the few things we can do.

  The paradox of tolerance.

  It’s a fine idea, but you can not equate the right to privacy of an innocent person and a perpetrator. (I know courts see this differently.)

  The only point I would agree on is leave out the kids, they had no choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to be able to shut your nose from within?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you, by any chance, have slight trouble breathing with a light cold, get a clogged nose easily or even have reduced sense of smell?

  Because I do and I can also do what you describe.

  Imagine living in a country with 900+ billionaires, with growing tendency, where regular people are discussing about the vest ways not to starve.

  Not thar it’s much better where I live, but damn, what the hell is wrong with this world?

  Self-help singh would disagree.

  Flash was always broken, as any Adobe software…

  Ok. I guess I’m more of a purist, meaning I prefer to view content as neutral and close to what it essentially is, as possible.

  It’s fair to prefer a more saturated or subjectively better-looking image, but I guess this is just not on many people’s list of top priorities.

  I have no solution here, except maybe use that display solely for media consumption and do serious work on a more traditional display. That’s at least what I do, except with a projector in that case.

  How do you “convert” content to HDR? You have to generate something that doesn’t exist.

  Did you pay 2 grand for a high-contrast mode?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is the enemy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean, not safe? I always thought “do not use in your ear canal” was just a joke they wrote on the packaging. Like, actually good one, what else are you gonna do with it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like a cheap excuse, the law doesn’t say specifically that.

  But, of course, manufacturers like to lick down their devices as much as possible. And such laws play into their hands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Since when is this the case?
