I loves me some udon noodles. Drain the water and add hot sauce. Mmmmmmm…

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles…

Yeah, looks like a nighttime image of the island with some smoke added to it.

Considering how easy it is to set up a screen reader or to set an overriding font on most browsers, this seems like an exercise in futility. That said, something like mssystem ought to do it – standardized, block-style typeface, with little to differentiate the individual letters.

Better yet, use a hidden partition.

That’d be my suggestion. I can’t imagine that the average airport security goon is going to check the reported size of the drive against the hardware specs as part of a normal inspection.

Always play stupid in these instances: I forgot the password; I got it second-hand and didn’t know about that; Encrypt-a-what, now?

Well, it depends on your instance. Some of them aren’t popular, and some of them don’t allow downvotes at all. But, over here, it’s apparently hip to just click into a profile and downvote everything they’ve posted because they said something you disagree with. I won’t name names, because that’d be just as bad, but you can look through my profile if you’re really interested.

Typically, yes, but the brigaders have found their way here, so don’t expect it to last long.

I can’t imagine why. As much as I love the fediverse and what it stands for, it’s barely a blip on anyone’s radar at this point.

At some point, maybe. Back when I was running my own Mastodon instance, things were pretty much in this same state, but lots of other things have improved.

I mean, in Russia, anything is possible, but in any country that respects the rule of law, you’re a citizen if you pay taxes.

Ah, the old “contrails/chemtrails didn’t exist when I was young” argument. Yes, they did; you didn’t look up when you were a kid.

The Telegraph is probably one of the blandest news sources on the web. I’ve never once heard them described as “extreme,” in any sense.

Name checks out.

Pretty much just this. Well, and LinkedIn, but I don’t post personal stuff over there. I moved from Facebook to Reddit about eight or nine years ago, and with Reddit circling the drain, am currently rudderless. Tried this Mastodon thing when it first got popular a few years ago and had no good experiences with it; this time around seems to be different with all the fresh blood. Just hope it keeps on keepin’ on .

I’ve been all about these things since we first started talking about them, but whatever that is is bullshit. It doesn’t have nearly enough connection points, and the ones it does have are secured by velcro. If the workers are feeling anything, and that’s a big “if,” then it’s purely placebo.

Edit: Clearly @Hellsadvocate thinks tricking folks is the way of the future.

If their sale to Microsoft goes through, you can bet on it. I give M$ a lot of shit, and deservedly so, but their history of buying game companies and turning them into professional outfits is established.

I wish they’d do a graphics refresh on LotRO. That was a great game in its day.

If I had to take a guess, its probably from folks running over it and breaking it off.

If I’m doing a drive-by of Reddit, I might nab a few stories, but for the most part I don’t even load it anymore.
