You severely overestimate how much the average person cares about their own privacy.

If you reverse your order, the carton will feel more stable in your hands as you use up your eggs. This is because the carton's mass density moves towards the outer edges, increasing the moment of inertia.

I'm fun at parties, I swear.

I'm a fan of the 01JUN2025 format. It's unambiguous and uses about the same space as other traditional formats.

 

I really like its format over Dolphin's, I find it much more intuitive. It shows the whole filetree from root and double clicking a folder just expands the it further. This is different than how Dolphin works, which only shows one folder at once like how Windows does in the main windows of File Explorer.

I think I might be autistic.

Specifically qBittorrent used with Debian and KDE. Not sure of it looks different elsewhere.

Not sure. Anyone want to start some shit so we can find out?

I figure the ads are just cached from earlier. I took this picture a few hours after I finished setting up my pfBlockerNG feeds and changing my DNS to AdGuard's public one.

If nothing else, this ad certainly reaffirmed my decision to update our network.

Oh, and if anyone knows why pfBlockerNG might fail to update some DNSBL AND IPv4 feeds during cron events, I'd be forever grateful. I'm getting tired of my router crashing every hour.

Hisense. Name and shame baby

It's absolutely no different! The TV is doing something weird to get around it, or these ads are just cached from earlier. I'm not sure yet. Good news is that the ad blockers definitely works, we're getting 96/100 on https://adblock-tester.com/

Yeah I guess the superbowl is soon, there's another row of football ads one or two rows up. I'll remind myself that I paid for the TV, the electricity to run it, and the bandwidth to connect it, yet I'm still shown full screen ads first thing when I turn my TV on. And I don't even watch football. And I can't disable it.

Corporate America and gargle my balls

 

I just finished setting up a custom router with dns ad blocking. Next comes a media player so I can purge this smart TV filth from my household.

Huge shout out to Louis Rossmann and the FUTO communuty contributors, check out the wiki on self-hosted software if you haven't already.

Reading this literally made me feel a little queasy.

Awfully reminiscent of the trouble the NASDAP had trying to draw the line between Jews and non-Jews. It made them look like fucking idiots, and I hope to hell history treats the GOP the same way.

That's what we said about COVID and absolutely nothing improved fundamentally.
