Aye

Aw, I was just trying to make a joke. I am aware that blocking instances is popular outside of these little spats. :(

It is a very popular feature request. Not generally being able to block instances. Specifically blocking hexbear.

NewPipe lets you listen to youtube videos without the screen on (and also download them or just the audio).

Probably the main thing I use

I am bad at coding and it is a skill that I do not think everyone can achieve to a professional level, thus telling people to “learn to code” is similar to telling them to “just hustle”, “hit the bricks and hand out resumes”, and other flippant stories that mean you stop having to think about poverty.

That said, I do believe the narrative actually was true for some people at some time. Maybe in the 90s and early 2000s if you were able to cobble together a computer from bits your university was throwing out and you had internet access, you could punch well above your weight. But that certainly was never true for everyone.

(I like to be optimistic about people’s ability to learn things, mostly hampered by access, time, and lack of interest, but I went to a boilermaker’s course recently to learn how to weld and none of those kids were going to learn how to code even if they were interested, whatever their other skills were.)

Foreign powers have interests in the region? Heavens to betsy!

Ah well, we know what you meant 👍

I am a data hoarder and endorse this message.

Oh, so they’ve given back all the stolen wealth and labour? I’m glad that’s over

Bleh, had an argument with someone about switching to signal or something other than FB messenger and he flat out refused on the basis that it would require him to have another app on his phone.

Three months later, he had signal installed on his phone. No idea what happened there, probably someone with more social clout than I had got him to install it. No mention of the prior argument.

Currently learning, it’s useful for a lot of the light industrial jobs here

I definitely try to aim for more durable clothing. A lot of my friends are into op-shopping, but that only suits particular demographics and body types. I have a few friends that get flow hippy-wear which is apparently sustainably sourced material (whatever that means), but those clothes tend to be both more expensive and less durable. Also, more durable clothing tends to be warmer because of the heavier weave, which is making me dread summer (Perth). idk what do as an individual. (my shirt that I have 10 of says it is 100% cotton)

I’m pretty sure the PM is getting about half the amount the VC at my university gets for a more important more stressful job, there’s just the cynicism of people voting to increase their own income (which I’m sure my VC does too). I always feel like politician pay should be based on the median income (like, starting at 80% going up to 250%) adjusted yearly or something. Not much reasoning, just idle thought on that though.

Yeah, life support being off or at reduced power would mean carbon dioxide build up and it would probably get a bit sweaty, but you can survive for quite a long time in a sealed room, especially with how much spare space is in Star Trek rooms.

Unless life support includes something like “shields that keep all the air in” or something.

I agree with the theme of the post, but some of the examples need more work, possibly at the expense of being less quippy

Me, reading the news: “I wonder if its that same aircraft”

If I had one and was unbothered by energy, probably around 18-21 C. As it stands, I’m planning on storing a couple of spray bottles full of water in the fridge and having a fan pointed at me at all times when summer comes around.

Where’s the toilet paper?

W… Why would you apologise for that?

Not just because you disagree with the politics of it; people freely showed Julio 26 flags to say they were anti-Cuban-Communist shamelessly. Who is going “I disagree with this AND ALSO I am aware enough of the Internationale as the song to complain about it”?
