Reddit got threatened by a billionaire Nazi. Reddit caved to said billionaire Nazi.

Anyone else get filled with rage when you see Dutton up on TV spouting nothing to the camera? Yes, people are doing it hard. But just saying that they’re doing it hard is worth nothing. What are your policies? You can say you can manage the economy effectively. How mother fucker? HOW?

Utterly vapid gasbagging from an utterly vapid potato.

Under 5 ingredients? Farikal.

3 kg lamb meat 3 kg cabbage 8 tsp whole, black peppercorns 4 tsp salt 600 ml water

That's 5 ingredients. Including salt, pepper and water. As an asian, I was dubious about this, but it packs and amazing amount of flavour from so few ingredients. Serve with baked/boiled/mashed potatoes, or bread, and a cold beer.

Guess i'm adding Sony Pictures America (as part of the MPAA) to the boycott list. Forgot about them since I thought they were Japanese.

And we've got NordVPN, Mozilla, Rakuten, and Samsung as part of the CCIA. So they're out too.

And then everyone in the CTA. https://members.cta.tech/cta-member-directory

Tired inner gamer. The original AC got boring for me. Just lots of repetitive uncreative climbing to complete collections. They they came out with Uplay with AC2 and i keep going back to “is this game worth creating an account and giving up my personal information to play, when there are multiple other games available with a better value proposition for my time, money, and privacy?”

The answer (for ubisoft) is invariably no. So i’ve effectively been on an unintentional Ubisoft boycott since 2008 since i refuse to create an account.

In the words of the Liberal party... "If you don't know. Vote No!" So kindly f-off Mr Potato-head.

It’s a stupid reason. Historically, if you were a peasant and had been granted access to land, you grew food or herbs. If however you were a lord, you got your food from your peasants. You had no need to grow your own food. So they could afford to grow lawns as a sign of wealth.

This has transferred across into the modern psyche. Lawns are a way of saying “i’m so rich, i don’t have to worry about sustenance. In fact i’ll throw money at it to maintain this slab of green rather than have it provide food, or shade.”

I’ll put my vote in for LibreWolf. Happy to help anyone with a ‘i can’t get librewolf to…’ or ‘this site is broken on librewolf’, etc to help you tweak it.

But i keep both installed. Libre for my daily driver. FF if there’s a site that i absolutely need to be identifiable for.

My issue is that while i am concerned about privacy, i’m more concerned with security patching. And none of these smaller browsers have the resources to turn around security fixes as quickly as firefox or chrome.

Firefox is the least of the concerns as long as we have the config options to disable anything deemed not privacy-respecting.

Helix. I hate tweaking my ide. I just want to launch it and get to work. Setting up my LSP/formatter/theme is the most i’m willing to put up with and that’s all Helix asks for to be an IDE.
