I’m fairly certain any publisher could charge advertisers more money if they could prove the ads are being watched or listened to. And the advertisers would be happy with that.
Why are frequent restarts healthy? Do you mean at a hardware level or for the OS?
Why would you need a home server in addition to your day to day desktop computer? I leave my desktop on at all times because it’s a Plex/ErsatzTV server, HomeAssistant server, web server for various utilities I’ve written, etc. It works great.
Postgres is a more robust and better designed and developed product, also it’s not owned by fucking Oracle.
Most of those firearm deaths aren’t school shootings. Sending your kid to play at a friend’s house where the parents have guns is a reasonable concern. Being afraid to send your kid to school every day because of a mass shooter is much less reasonable.
can’t even safely walk alone in public during the night or safely send your kid to school
This isn’t true, the media just makes it look that way. The instances of school shooting are very dramatic, but statistically, your kid is in more danger on the drive to school than from a school shooting.
Spotify will force you to listen to an ad by pausing it if you mute the volume, then resuming it when you unmute.
I quit Spotify long ago so I don’t know if they still do it today, but they do have a way to force ads.

Google sucks, but Apple sucks too. And if you hate them both, Android is the better choice for a smartphone because you can use it with minimal interaction with Google whereas any Apple device firmly has you in the Apple ecosystem.
With a DVR you haven’t had to watch a commercial on TV/cable in over 20 years. Streaming is bringing unskippable ads and surveillance. The internet is making things worse, not better.
I’ll use it for now while it’s good and ditch it if/when it enshittifies just as I ditched Reddit and Twitter. The mistake I won’t repeat is relying on it. If I have to bail, it won’t be difficult this time.
It was 13 years ago but I still can’t forget the typo.
A friend posted a link to something and mentioned me saying “you’re hyper literal brain will like this” and when I got done being annoyed about the typo I realized for the first time I am excessively literal.
Another time at lunch with a friend she mentioned in an offhand way that I have anxiety and that was when I first realized what anxiety is and that it’s not normal to feel the way I do all the time.
Fuck you, I’m not wading through your fuckass prompts when I could toggle one simple switch.
At its core religion is based on fearing people who are different, and modern right wing politics is based on fearing people who are different.
There’s more bad content on reddit than good. Downvotes are the expected consequence of that.
Sure, it will be the new thing I never use.
There are a lot of well-meaning bots that bring posts here from other places, but they do more harm than good because we end up with a lot of low-quality posts that have been vetted by no one, and a low ratio of commenters/comments relative to a big flood of posts. So the result is a ton of posts with 0 or very few comments and low average quality.
If the only posts here were posts that someone decided was worth making, we’d have fewer, higher-quality posts, and more comments per post.
Also, with the quality of Twitter and Reddit deteriorating, it doesn’t help to import those shitty dying cultures here. We should be building new cultures.
