Radical Dog

Our customer support is full of (older) people buying stuff from us. Not everyone likes using websites when a phone will work!

Cheers for the citation

I guess it’s the one I care least about that I listed. Substitute in the overtly racist subreddits, if you wish, as they surely didn’t deserve a platform.

The myth of Aaron Swartz continues…

He was a big proponent of free speech absolutism. He’d have been more than happy with the jailbait subs, watchpeopledie, fatpeoplehate etc. I really don’t think he deserves a free pass just because Reddit wasn’t enshittifying while he was around, as it was in a growth phase. It had other problems which needed resolution.

Not really, except for where they re-take your biometrics to confirm. More often, biometrics get turned into digital info which can’t be changed. If a scammer gets your DNA biometric, tough shit, you’re now unable to change it and deny the scammer access. It is a huge boon for some forms of fraud.

I’m enjoying it so far :)

Someone spent a while telling me Nier Automata was great, and it took a couple years before I got independently interested. My punishment is the same fate, of telling others it’s great, and no-one trying it.

Same with Return of the Obra Dinn, which has a niche art style but a captivating set of mysteries.

If I’m taking one thing from this thread, it’s that I’m most likely to click on something called “Desiny Potato”.

Kind of nice to see NFTs breaking through the floor at the trough of disillusionment, never to return.

Kinda crap advice for novices, as shorting means uncapped losses if you’re wrong. You’d have to be very confident other people are making a mistake, as other investors may not worry that power users no longer like Reddit, and stock could still go up.

Lanterns are a plague on farmers unfortunately. We’ve picked out quite a few from hedges over the years, it’s just littering with extra steps.

I know exactly what I’d do with it.

Get into gunpla, of course.

Whistleblower laws need strengthening. Snowden’s leaks, for example, were clearly in the public interest and needed to be leaked. It’s an unjust country that can’t see that and spare him.

I totally get it. I love the extras like directors’ commentaries, and streaming feels like it has lost so much. But I don’t want the hassle/space of dvds, I just want to buy complete digital versions that have all the extra bits. And until they will sell me it…

Yeah, very annoying to be told a word is “new” when I know it well, and vice-versa be expected to have done whole lessons on other words that I’ve never seen before. That said, not many options for Hungarian, I’ve only seen Drops as an alternative daily app.

It doesn’t, we know from their Apple lawsuit that publishers are given pre-negotiated fees for the whole giveaway.

Honestly, buying a disc for a new game and selling it a month later is still the cheapest way to play new things without being constrained by a subscription’s library. PC is excellent for old/indie stuff going cheap, but discs are awesome.

I cannot fathom why Plex is so dominant while Jellyfin, for my taste, is better. And Jellyfin is explicitly free, contributors cannot be paid, because they are funded by their intense hatred of capitalism.

The Steam Deck has helped bring it to light. I loved the Hitman games, for example, but I won’t buy the studio’s 007 game if that has the same always-online-singleplayer shite.

Audible is fine with Libation to strip the DRM. Then I use “Smart Audiobook Player” on android which crashes far less and is quicker to load than the official Audible app.
