  • This is likely the most asinine thing I hear on a regular basis. Speed limits exist for a reason. If driving the speed limit actually created a hazard, rather than simply creating an annoyance for someone who is willing to drive recklessly to shave a few seconds off their trip, you might have a point, but you don’t.

    The only circumstance where it creates a hazard is if everyone else around them is speeding, in which case, the people who are speeding are creating the hazard, not the person following the laws, you know, the ones that are there to enforce safety on the roads.

    Think the world might collapse? Maybe NOW you’ll consider buying into the crypto grift! I swear it’s definiely a good idea this time. I super-pinky swear it’s a good investment.

    Just ignore the countless times crypto has shown it’s really only useful for scams, and money laundering.

    I know this post “addressed” this point, but not to the extent that anyone with a partially functional ability to reason will be convinced. Here’s my problem… I find it excessively hard to believe that in a collapse scenario anyone would be interested in trading goods for crypto.


  • Cool! Are you talking about something like pi-hole or something else? In what way is it going to lead to better outcomes? I already have a pretty much flawless experience with my adblockers (especially when it comes to easily creating custom rules, using the element zapper, and testing new blocklists).

    I find that my suite of browser extensions serves me really well, and it keeps working even when I enable my VPN, but something like pi-hole stops working if you do that.

    How does the solution you’re talking about differ? How does it provide a better experience?







  • Tangentially related. Does anybody know if there’s a browser extension or database that collects the obviously LLM generated websites?

    I run into lots of websites where all I think is “this can’t possibly be a human writing this, right?” All I can do is show it to my friends and family for validation.


  • What you said about YaST, I 100% agree with.

    I distro hopped a lot.

    Mained Manjaro for a while… but now that I’ve found OpenSUSE, I’m not going anywhere. The convenience and polish YaST has is unbelievable.

    Tumbleweed has been on my main machine for 3 years now? I also have OpenSUSE “Kalpa” installed on my TV box, and Leap on a laptop.

    I dabble in NixOS, but Tumbleweed is my true love.







  • I haven’t played the new one, but I’m also a heretic who enjoyed Agents of Mayhem quite a lot. I’ve almost 100%'d it.

    I also played SR:4 and Gat Outta Hell. Loved 4, never quite finished Gat Outta Hell.

    My main gripe with the new Saints Row? It was a FortniteLauncher™ exclusive. I won’t buy it until it’s on a deep deep sale on Steam. I chose Linux, and they support my choice. Exclusives aren’t good for an open market, and I hate what Epic has done so brazenly to young audiences with predatory monetization, intentionally addictive systems, and dark patterns.
