That is probably already implemented in the algorithm, currently disabled, but the control knob will start turning up as needed

Yes?

I did not say otherwise?

I am serious

These days I have seen people being completely serious when talking like this.

You forget the need for good PR from time to time.

They gotta release a treatment every once in a while to keep public oppinion up to acceptable levels.

Me being OK with a specific nation as superpower had zero impact on weather or not that nation becomes a superpower or not.

Please don’t be like DenverCoder9:

Since you provide zero additional context to your question as to your current transport situation or geographical area, I have to believe that you are doing fine as is, and therefore conclude that there is no need for it.

My recommendation is thus:

“No, you shouldn’t”

The corporate leaders will work to keep their profits up.

If that means keeping us healthy and telling the truth, then that is what they will do.

Bankers thrive off of loans and weapon manufacturers do thrive off of war though.

A sick person want to get healthy, and if a drug can’t do that, most people won’t buy it.

The media needs trust for people to consume news, truth is a hugely important commodity.

My nickname was originally “Stoy On” but over time it got shortend to “Stoy”.

“Stoy On” comes from a small Swedish comedy film by “Galenskaparna och After Shave”, a fantastic group of theatre actors who has had a very long and successfull carreer of comedy theatre, television and film. They specialized in musicals, with plenty of amazing wordplay and some fantastic songs.

Anyway, the film I am talking about this time is the TV film “The Castle Tour”, the summary of it is that a group of Swedish tourists are going on a tour of a castle in Sweden, the guide has them confused with an English tour, and the joke is that the guide just speaks a nonsense language.

Now, one of the nonsense pharses the guide used was “Stoy on!”, which is meant to mean “Se upp!” in Swedish, and that experssion has two meanings in Sweden, the normal one “Look out!”, and the litteral one “Look up!”

At the same time I was getting annoyed at not having a standard nickname online and when gaming.

And since I thought it was fun to have a nickname that meant “Look out!” in some ways, and I liked the sound of it, I adopted “Stoy On” as my standard nickname, and since it got shortend I mainly go by “Stoy” online, or, if it is taken, “Stoy On”.

You can block them (:

The only times I cared about boot times was:

1. When BIOS/UEFI goes by too fast and I can’t hit the boot menu key fast enough.
2. When I got my current computer back in 2022, I went from booting from HDD, to NVMe SSD over PCI-E 4.

Why is the wordpress logo in the Fediverse?

Yesterday I revived my old Pixelfed account, and I have set myself a challenge, upload one photo every day for a month.

I have plenty of photos from the last decade to pick from

I don’t know if this will mean that my account will be active in the long run, but I’ll give it an honest try.

I posted this earlier in the thread:

A year or two ago I got pissed off with how slow to navigate deviantArt had become, I had had an account there for almost twenty years, and posting images for 10, I had thousands of photos there, but as the site developed over the later years it just got worse and worse.

Finally, one day I had had enough.

I borrowed space on my dad’s webhost, and built a simple HTML/CSS page with links to galleries exported from digiKam.

The page has no ads, no tracking (other than what the webhost does) and no user interaction, it requires no database, every page loads in less than a second.

It makes zero accommodation for mobile users, I only view it on my desktop and use it to show my photos to people nearby or friends/family.

The galleries does have some more advanced features, you can navigate through them with the arrow keys, they also have some pre fetch stuff, but that’s it.

I am no expert in web design, but the page looks good, I played with some :hover in CSS but didn’t go completely mad with it.

I won’t link it since it has my real name on it.

I’ll probably move the site to my own webhost some day.

That might have been me:

Yeah, there are just so many terrible people that I limit myself to one bottle each, makes it easier when I find a real bastard to dedicate another bottle to.

Affinity Photo used to be a European product, but the developer was recently bought by Canva, a multi national software company based in Australia.

You can however still buy a perpetual license for a one time fee.

“What would I be appologizing for?”

Just one thing, lying and claiming that you accomplished the progress in the games yourself.

Do what I do, get three bottles of cheap champagne, label them “Trump”, “Putin” and “Musk” respectively, and when one of these dickheads die you pop the respective bottle and have a toast.

Get more bottles as needed.
