Teas contains more psychoactive ingredients than just caffeine, including some with stabilizing effects to knock down that jittery unpleasant part. Broad spectrum stimulants are better than straight caffeine.

I have never received spam on Signal.

Two years, then the drive exploded a couple weeks ago and I rebuilt it just now. Doesn’t work out of the box, X11, does, so I’ve never looked into it.

Every time I build a new box or do an upgrade, I try selecting Plasma on Wayland from the login screen. Every time it doesn’t work, I select X11, and never think of it again for another six months to two years.

Hey, look, all the sites I specifically avoid, plus Pinterest which just happens to get avoided.

It is obviously not the same as manually making all these connections and using different apps for each of them and backing them up with git.

I mean, that’s the whole unix philosophy. Rather than one big monolithic app, we use dozens of tiny ones that can all be scripted and work together. I think I’d just use an org-mode file to create the sort of centralized UI you’re describing.

Look how hard you work to justify your exploitation and violence to yourself. You know you aren’t going to convince me, this is all about bulwarking your own views.

They’re not trying to get attention. They’re trying to express their natural instinctive behaviours, and are being prevented by your violence and cruelty.

I feel like it should be possible to ethically train a model that produces bad art. But still better and faster than I could do myself, and so I would have many practical uses for it.

There are many pros and cons. They are different things. While the main reason is that commercial solutions are selected to be as accessible as possible while piracy solutions require the user to make a lot more decisions (many of which can be made wrong), there area also valid reasons that spring directly from being different mediums. It is not hard to discover these reasons by simply trying it for a week.

Use Librewolf or a plugin that masks your user agent for privacy purposes; hides your OS so you can’t be fingerprinted so easily.

A link to an image and a link to a video, but no link to a website…

There’s no rational reason typefaces shouldn’t enjoy protection.

The yet more obvious reason is that he is now far too old.

The obvious reason of course being that he is wealthy. I can’t imagine any serious, hungry actor would turn down a significant and meaningful role just because it required playing cross gender.

there were so many things in his comment history I could have slapped this on

Because it’s not an issue. This is the system functioning as intended. Changing this behaviour would cause dramatic performance degradation for the 99.999% of the time when the device you are writing to isn’t removable media that you want to eject right away.

The foot bears more than 100% of your weight because it is cantilevered. The greater the cantilever, the greater the multiplier to the weight.

You’re arguing that a small foot has a small contact patch. But we need to be able to shift all our weight to our toes, and that contact patch is more a function of the width of your foot, not the length.

The feet might not change, but shoe sizes are not consistent. Even two shoes of the same make, model, and size can differ. When your feet are very small, the tolerances are also very small.
