Except they live by that same playbook, so it's not bad for them and opposing 60+ million people, to please a few hundred seems stupidly brave, rather than feeble.

Stop seeing them as corrupted and see the truth, they are the corruption!

Only once their use had expired for a data medium, as that's repurposing.

It was more common for them to be table/chair levelling devices though.

Heh.
I did look it up after I posted. It may have been 6.22, but could also have been 6.0. Dunno, was a long time ago and I'd not even hit puberty.

I suspect x.11 was a crossed neuron from Windows for workgroups (3.11).

It was a bunch of floppies, I'm certain of that much ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's something I have done (including @ 68% of a networking course, 20 years ago).
I've just always found tech easy to understand, probably helped by having an old computer nerd as a friendly neighbour when I was pre-teen. He's who I got DOS 6.11 from to upgrade my first (proper) PC, IIRC.

I've loved the O.G film since I first saw it.
Can't remember anything about the second at all.
I think I remember my Mum teasing me for getting upset when I saw Dennehy in something else, not playing a nice guy and crying, the impression from this film had been so impactful. ๐Ÿ˜„

I do intend to try F-Droid one day, but wanna be hosting my own cloud by that point, so I can fully de-google (probably aside from YouTube)

I have very little, as under/unemployed for too damn long to afford anything besides a poorly PC and phone.
But you're right, blocking on phone would be sweet (especially as possible to use it whilst on cell network, to have ad-block on the move).

Sod manually updating HOSTS all the time.

Also exposes a critical problem with mail-in votes (namely households with a single controlling person, disenfranchising the submissive/overpowered voters in the household).

Due to the expansion of the "sunshine laws" in the 70s-80s, it empowered the ultra rich and special interest groups, as it provided access to how every vote went, in particular, amendments to bills.

Less transparency in critical areas is a key solution. It only benefits those with influence.

That's a Linux thing!
I appreciate you spreading the message, but I've been aware of that for ~3 decades ๐Ÿคญ

I hope to set up a PiHole one day, so it works across all network devices.

And, for the meme. I use Arch [based], BTW.

Why I uninstalled ublock origin, this is WAY better!
YouTube video by Louis Rossmann Why I uninstalled ublock origin, this is WAY better!

I like the idea of this, but only when using 2+ browsers.

1 using this extension, for normal use.

1 using ad-block for visiting the sites that must be visited, where an alternative isn't possible, but hate to visit and don't want to be a revenue stream for them.

Swindler: Person who says what others want to hear, rather than being consistent.
Let's see:-

"I stayed still, the Democrats rushed to the left" ... Goes on to give 2x Sieg Heils.

"Twitter must be politically neutral" ... Goes on to ban anyone not to the right of Hitler.

Being "Not American" this is all so weird to me.
Employers should be doing all that stuff for their employees. With scale comes efficiency gains. So much time is wasted by Americans filling out tax forms, a country that apparently cares bigly about being productive with time.

That's good n all, but did you see how high the percentage of people who vote to, not only turn down improvements to their lives and of their neighbours, but to actually worsen their lives.
America's soooo boned.

Throwing in a bunch A.I generated footage is more likely to hurt, rather than help the cause.
Those who accept it's a massive issue that needs addressing, are already convinced.
Those who deny, will add this to their "it's fake" stack to reinforce the cognitive dissonance.

The Debunked Idea Holding Nuclear Back
YouTube video by Kyle Hill The Debunked Idea Holding Nuclear Back

This piece puts forward the argument that "low-dose" radiation can be dealt with by the body just fine (as life started on "high" radiation planet).
It goes against conventional belief, but could substantially lower the cost of rolling out more nuclear plants.

It's called Neoliberalism.
favouring business interests over societal interests means everything collapses, but that chapter got left out of the playbook they all read from.
