I think I get the point you’re making but climate change will fuck over the same people who end up getting fucked over by war.

As is often the case, the wealthiest can deal with the side effects of climate change. The ones who will be most affected by famines and natural disasters are the poorest, most marginalised, most deprived.

I suspect it’ll make conflict more likely, not less.

I was quite active. But less and less as time goes on, sadly.

The content is drying up, the only really active communities are either tech or political, and my main interests either never left reddit or have a home elsewhere. The nail in the coffin for me will be when my instance dies, which is looking increasingly likely given that the admin is AWOL.

It’s ok here, but it’s too fragmented to be a full replacement for anything else.

I know Google is a big corpo but its hardly the only reason behind the state of the internet. It is a major factor, but to single out Google when Microsoft and others have played just as significant of a role is odd.

It went offline, as do all of those platforms that only cater to one subreddit’s worth of users (especially the edgy ones). But it wouldn’t surprise me if the admin had three letter agencies breathing down their neck and just packed it in.

While you’re correct that he owns Twitter and can do what he wants with it, your analogy doesn’t work. Nobody else uses your Toyota and the colour provides no functionality. Twitter has been the platform for breaking news and political discussion for years now.

A better version of your analogy would be if you replaced the exhaust on your Toyota with one that pumped out visible smog. You let people hire it for a drive, as you did before. But they drive around our homes.

Originally, we could say “You can’t drive here anymore!” but now you let them drive anywhere regardless. Oh, and some of these drivers now play Hitler speeches through the sound system while they do donuts on our driveways.

You can. I’m not by my desktop but I’m sure I use ublacklist in Firefox.

LTT is one of the biggest YouTube channels and commands a lot of influence in the PC gaming community. The parent organisation actually has a lot of channels on youtube and they pump out a ton of videos under a few different names so even if you don’t recognise the LTT name you might have seen some of their other videos just in passing.

Why is it a big deal? Because the accusations are big, given their influence on peoples’ purchasing decisions.

I am going to continue not having an account and not having to deal with this.

Relative to desktop, it is comparatively few.

Best on mobile, yes. The few they allow in FFfA stable is a tiny amount considering how many actually can work, but Mozilla arbitrarily decided they won’t allow.

It’s long overdue. I’ve been running Nightly to get around the shockingly limited number of addons available on Firefox for Android. Hopefully Mozzila don’t fumble the bag with this as its a great opportunity to steal users from Chrome.

Honestly, it’s as if they don’t really want you using it. It’s a legitimate feature but hidden away and quite difficult to use. Here’s a guide on getting it set up. I’ve been using it since it came out and haven’t had too many issues, but a lot of addons just don’t work as intended.

Reaper is great. Fantastic dev team and great forums for support. And, most importantly, the license is affordable for bedroom shredders like me.

I’ve tried with open source DAWs but audio software is still decades behind in the open source world. I’m on Reaper and Ableton but I would love to ditch them. Toontrack products on linux is a pipe dream too. I’ve had nothing but issues over the years so still need to dual boot.

You can also use the Nightly app and load addon collections. It’s an absolute pain in the arse, and a lot of extensions don’t work, but it’s one way to get them.

Genuinely, what motivation does any professional content creator have for using peertube? It’s just crypto shit and conspiracy theorists and doesn’t pay content creators

We’re best friends

New languages deal with challenges the old languages faced differently, with hindsight of how those languages dealt with those challenges and how they could have done things better.

We don’t even have a universal language for communication. That may not be a bad thing, either. There’s a theory that the language you speak changes the way you perceive the world - I believe that’s true with programming as well. If we only had Java, we’d only get Java-style solutions.

The UK and… in fact, no. I’m glad it’s not us this time. Lets roast France some more.

I like noodles

This is how you end up with no browsers except Opera and Edge.

I’m just glad it isn’t the UK proposing something this dumb. We’re doing enough stupid shit as it is.
