Aww that’s disappointing but not surprising. I saw the headline of your third link and I was like “Damn cool move by wildlife conservation police, they’re helping people identify and track ICE agents and raids”. But of course that’s not what “monitoring for ICE” means, it means they’re helping ICE by monitoring the cameras for protestors.

No, if it’s a good blocker it’s blocking all requests and connections to wherever the ads are being served from. There’s usually ALSO a level of cosmetic filtering for things that get past the blocklist or can’t be properly filtered because they’re coming from the same server as stuff you actually want to see, but with ublock origin set to strict and noscript set to allow only whitelisted sites, my page load times are way faster. Sometimes a shitty webpage will still ‘wait around’ for a second to try and get a connection from an ad site but it’s not loading anything into memory.

I mean the headline in your linked article literally calls it the ‘minimum system requirements’ not ‘reccomended’. Games have had two sets of requirements for decades, I don’t see why they couldn’t do the same. Regardless if you need to run Linux on older/less powerful hardware there’s much better choices than Ubuntu, which is designed to be as beginner-friendly as possible at the cost of performance and customizability as is, so in their case I guess it kinda makes sense to dumb it down.

Are you using connect as a client? Because the same thing happened to me, I wonder if it’s a bug with the client or with the server software.

There’s no definitive lethal dose of any medication, but the phrase ‘a lethal dose’ is commonly used and usually understood to mean “a dose that proved lethal for the person that took it”.

But why do they only need to hold it for 3 days, not the whole 5?

Happened a bunch of times to me in cyberpunk. When you’re infiltrating the junkies apartments.

Imagine caring about what people think when they’re obsessed with what software you use to text. I’m just fucking annoyed so much of my family uses iphone, and despite being able to be part of their group chat, there’s no way to use RCS or some other message format better than fucking SMS/MMS.

Either that or he won’t be a good dude for very long

You’re not real, you’re just some text on a screen.

Oh yeah, Deluge, Transmission, qBittorrent, those are just a few of my favourites. Oh and TuxRacer of course.

Since when does steam just give away games just because you bought them from another storefront?

Do like Max Harms? Or: just do, like, max harms.

There are no sex offenders in space, because in space, noone can hear you scream.

I mean idk, mine gets pretty fucking bright. So much so that I keep it on the lowest of like 4 or 5 settings by default. What are you having to illuminate regularly? I guess I might be biased as I like the dark and don’t even really turn on lights if I’m home alone, but seriously why do you need a crazy bright flashlight all the time? I think they’re cool but I actually can’t think of a single use case where my phone wouldn’t be good enough, outside of like actual camping or night hiking or something.
