Ah, good ol' Gowron Crazy-Eyes. On more than one occasion I was convinced those suckers were just going to pop right out of his head.

I see lots of app recommendations, but is there any way to do this on desktop? I really don't want to have to click on each post, but I'm tired of getting the same stuff over and over again.

Stargate Atlantis, the thing I would change is to make it as good as I remember it being, cause while it's fine and entertaining and all, I just remember thinking more highly of it when it aired and on previous rewatches.

No, movies and music files are already compressed, so compressing them further won't gain anything. In fact it will actually increase the file size because compressed files require some overhead. So even winrar won't help, though it might be convenient to have one big file with everything in it (you can even break it up into multiple part files.)

Oh, not since 1954, well excuse me! :P

Yeah, but old browser extension has let me block all advertisers (and all of them are equally my most-hated) forever, so reddit is cordially invited to get fucked. And they can construe that as 'encouraging violence' all they like.

That looks more than a little bit like the Mahir Supron FS3 from Cyberpunk 2077.

Inertia, convenience of what you're used to, and all of your friends are over there and have never heard of 'the fediverse'.

You have meek fuckers in leadership because that's who the corporate/wealthy donors want there. If you want to get rid of them you're going to have to get rid of the money and influence that put them there.

Do you play video games? Read books? Play tabletop roleplaying games? Knit? There are public and private discord communities for all of those things and more. Go find one and join it. I lost my two closest friends who I had known for almost 3 decades in a couple of years apart and realized that without those two I didn't really have any other friends that I hung out and spent time with, and I started really feeling lonely, and I'm practically a shut-in and don't make friends easily either. Fortunately I lucked into two things that made a world of difference: a couple of TTRPG discords that I am now decent to good friends with all of the members, and a private gaming community. Between them they have about 350 people in them, and I have made a point of hanging out with them and trying to make friends, and I've met quite a few people I get along with really well, and I always have people to play tabletop or video games with.

Even though this amounts to 'how dare you expect us to moderate, I have to agree: parent your kids or don't have them.

Fetterman is not a democrat, I don't care what letter he puts in front of his name. I'd be curious to see what these folks' reason for voting for this is, because it's been made abundantly clear over the last 20 years or so that neither party gives a shit about shutting down the government to get what they want.

 

So yesterday I received a 7-day ban for 'encouraging violence', for saying that Luigi Mangione did not deserve to go to jail. It was obviously bullshit, somebody got a little hair-trigger on the new directive from ~~Der Fuhrer~~ spez or something, so I appealed. That appeal was reviewed and the temp ban lifted and the 'offending' comment restored, but 11 hours prior to that I got another message that I had been perma-banned for violating Reddit's rules with my 'other account(s)'. Well that's also bullshit because I've had exactly one (1) account in the 14 years I've been on reddit, so I appealed that too, and thus we get to the cherry on top: I am no longer banned, I can post and such again, but they sent me the above message saying that my appeal had been denied and that the perma-ban was staying in place. But rather than linger in reddit limbo, I think I'm gonna switch permanently to lemmy. 14 years worth of curating subs will suck to redo, but oh well, life is change.
