Kill it all with fire

We should do more than block them, they need to be teergrubed.

So they should switch to element.io, or host their own forum thingie on a VPS somewhere. Why is Discord essential? (Hint: it’s not)

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,

Thy micturations are to me

As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.

I have used Krita to edit 1-2 page PDFs, but it’s clunky as each page is its own layer. If you’re looking for something that lets you add notes to an entire book or something… probably not useful.

Greetings, Programs!

I’ve spent the last 4 months living this. Thank you I hate it.

EDIT: Actually my entire career, but most painfully the last 4 months. I hate it. And, yet, I must eat, so I endure.

It’s good to be paranoid, but for years I have had periodic sign-ups for lists I never wanted, services I never asked for, medical appointments and plane ticket reservations(!) I didn’t make … you name it.

All because I was an early gmail invitee, so my account is just ‘firstinitiallastname@gmail.com’ (with no ‘123’, or other decorations) – I was the FIRST. And I’ll be damned if I give it up!

So, so many people with my first initial and surname forget to add whatever crap they added to their signup after they must have gotten the error message at sign-up that told them ‘sorry, but firstname.lastname@gmail.com is already taken’ and they then forget whatever they added, and keep using my email address when they register for whatever crap they do. So bloody annoying.

I’ve taken to just logging into the numerous sites they helpfully send me registration links for, and if there’s a profile section I may (if I’m feeling cranky) set their profile photo and bio to unsavoury things, before locking the account. If I’m not feeling cranky I just unsubscribe/delete the account.

Hmm, if you could find a SCSI3->2 adapter, and then a SCSI->CompactFlash drive, you might be able to cobble a working solution together?

Oh I hadn’t thought of how I’d installed Vivaldi. I always just choose the basic install – no Vivaldi mail, ad-block, etc. Just their core browser. Then I install uBlock Origin on top of that. And, so far, I’ve never hit the new Youtube adblock-block.

I’m waiting to see Youtube block me using Vivaldi w/uBlock Origin on Linux so far. It hasn’t happened, am I accidentally doing something awesome to evade their traps so far?

Vivaldi’s Chrome-based, so I would presume the same tricks to detect uBlock Origin on Chrome itself would work, or is Vivaldi doing something sneaky?

I have no problem jumping to Firefox the moment they do it – I just haven’t had an issue yet. I should add I’m in Canada, perhaps that is a factor.

I sincerely hope it turns out to be the case. I don’t pretend I haven’t torn out my hair on multiple occasions fighting with xorg.conf… that’s for sure.

Just being provocative for the lulz on a memepost, mostly :)

:) I’ll try it again, promise. I just didn’t have a good experience around two years ago. I do hear it’s much better now.

I’ll confess I’ve avoided systemd to this day however. Devuan/Funtoo are fine, and I don’t miss any of the supposed improvements systemd brings. So I’ll probably be rocking Wayland/open-rc or Wayland/sysv-init until I drop dead.

I’m starting to think Wayland is the systemd of desktop graphic environments. Might be amazing eventually, but pushed onto the community too soon by opinionated devs who have fallen victim to the second-system effect.

Mod me down, don’t care.

Edit: Woohoo, into the ground! Mod me down further, and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine :p

I don’t troll often, but when I do… it’s about Wayland and systemd. Nyah nyah.

Honestly if Wayland will work 100% on my next setup and apps appear as expected, I won’t give a damn what system I’m using.

Ah :). Hmm, well someone else had a similar situation as you, perhaps xmms with those tweaks would work?

Really? Wow I haven’t tried… but there are lots of skins at least, here

Myth: The Fallen Lords could use a good successor using modern tech. But keep the mechanics and storyline essentials the same, it was amazing.

EDIT: And Thief: The Dark Project too. (Styx: Master of Shadows felt a bit like a spiritual successor, but not quite…)

QMMP is good enough for me on Linux, feels like basic WinAMP which is all I need.

What dream? A domain’s quite practical for self-hosting one’s own server for all sorts of things. Doesn’t have to be the “next big thing”. This is the way the internet used to be.
