Stormtrooper. Stormtrooper. Stormtrooper… ugh. Stormtrooper. sigh.

Thanks for saving us a click!

That’s China’s regulation at this point, it’s how their governing body rules the country. Nothing we can do. Meta is harmful to society but this is above board.

You can turn it off for a device to connect to that site, or add it globally. You can also choose which block lists you use (they’re available from a list), some are too much. If a certain request from a specific device is being blocked when the site breaks, you can tap to add it to a whitelist. I also manipulate a local Home Assistant installation to host a whitelist that can be switched on/off as requested. I just hit app -> filters -> whitelist -> en/disable

Also it can moderate all traffic. You can block or add anything, with presets for porn if you’re not about that

I have a few dozen mobile games

Third person, not first: It Takes Two is adorable. The developers, Hazelight Studios, also made A Way Out. They specialise in co-op and they’re working on a new game, Split Fiction. It Takes Two, as of May 29th, is DRM-free on Steam and Steam Deck, and hopefully the new one will follow

I got one recently by B&H Photo Video, may have got lucky but the drive was brand new and untampered, and was in plastic cushioning, in a fitted box, inside 6" of airbags, inside another box. Delivered by DHL Express.

Sometimes DuckDNS goes down partially, their servers breaking for about a week is why I purchased a domain and now host via Cloudflare.

Edit: One of my DuckDNS domains works internally, so at least it’s not a systemwide issue. Perhaps one of their relays…

Apparently some places call a paper fortune-teller (below) a ‘cootie catcher’. Still unclear as to how it relates. Closest I got was that it’s some kind of LLM script to give users defined answers based on their questions. Maybe that mean OpenAI gave hardcoded responses, therefore lying about intelligent generation?

… You need that bar to navigate between settings, inbox and feeds etc.

Amazing scavenge! I’ve got a server for my partner and I, vanilla+. One mod we have pauses the entire server if nobody is online, it works fantastically and only RAM is held, minimal CPU usage. Vanilla server runs perfectly fine for my case.

Apple’s datacenters have been untrustworthy for a long time, at this point any breaches or data sales of user data is as much the user’s fault. But yeah, from what I’ve seen, corporations never make moves to primarily benefit the consumer, society, state law or otherwise. Only self profit. Sometimes aligning with demand improves profit.

Do you know if they have any online sites? It’s a shame not having a working connection to them for Jackett

Holy shit, firstly I have to say I am incredibly proud of you for staying true to yourself. Secondly, for surviving horrible conditions.

I would really recommend the UK for asylum, we are the US’s little brother copying everything but we aren’t about to mass murder folk based on their identity. We get between 0 and 1 trans murder a year, US gets over 30 with a population just x5 of ours. Medication is automatically given to refugees, as well.

You might have to try it and report back aha. It would add ‘Unknown Year’ but I don’t believe it would throw any issues

Awesome - I tried to convert to bash but took the easy way out once I learned I could install node aha.

I learned Java and a bit of py just to make my renaming easier lol - took the task down from weeks to seconds!

YSK that Google Photos will not work unless you give it access to all your media. The privacy-respecting ‘Allow access to some photos’ results in an immediate rerequest for all media.

Isn’t a slur a term used in a derogatory sense? Intentions mean everything. If the intention is to try and define, they can be corrected. If the intention is to shame or ridicule one’s existence, it is a slur.

Anyone that uses ‘futa’ to describe a trans woman is very poorly informed.

Speaking of war crimes…

I dislike US rule because it self-imposes itself over the entire world, trying to insert its media in every facet of everyone’s life, its military in impoverished countries, effectively forcing them to stay poor and “not a threat to US democracy” under the guise of rescue, etc… One state’s terrorist is a people’s freedom fighter. I looked back at 9/11 for example, the event they’re still sensitive about. The US, through oppression and infestation, turned men into the ‘terrorists’ that became Al Qaeda. This narrative is retold in media, the morals and messages are retold but the public seemingly ignores it.
