Don’t forget the beige box that protects you from the magic happening:

Not the ‘c’ word I would have used, but still accurate.

Look, I’m not saying it was Skynet, but I’m also not saying it wasn’t.

I find it highly interesting how in the replies to your message people are proving you right:-).

Lol, what replies? I guess I’ve already blocked most/all the people I was referring to (or they’re on .ml which I don’t federate with for pretty much this exact reason)

[The rest of it]

When, out of nowhere, people put other people into boxes, ascribe a political label to them, and put words in their mouths without knowing anything about them, it is a HUGE turn off to me as far as interactions go.

e.g. A comment that’s taken out of context and the reply is basically, “Hurr, durr, that’s such an enlightened centrist thing to say. Guess you’re okay with a little fascism, huh, lib?”. That’s pretty fucking cringe and going to make me immediately block the person saying it (and I have and will continue to do so). Like, if that’s how their mind works, taking things out of context, jumping to conclusions, and projecting labels out of nowhere: I got nothing for them.

I’m not here with an agenda, I’m not trying to spread my beliefs, I’m not trying to convert anyone to anything (except maybe Linux lol), etc. I just wanna share and talk about cool shit.

And you know there’s someone reading this thinking (and possibly commenting) that the fact I haven’t announced myself to the room as a raging leftie means I must be a nazi in disguise. (Nope. Just someone who’s not here for political shit). My political beliefs and leanings are my own, and if they’re not apparent from my post/comment history, then whoever’s judging me just hasn’t paid attention.

As for how I treat people, as long as they’re clearly operating in good faith and with a good attitude, I welcome them until such time they’ve veered outside of civility or proven to be a troll, actual Nazi, or otherwise.

And non-Republicans will sit out or protest vote for the same reason 🤦‍♂️

Not sure / not that I’m aware of. I was going to see if anyone was working on crowdsourcing an archive via scraping or some similar method. Does Wayback Machine let you download archives, maybe?

One of the best things I ever did when I still used Pandora was make a station with John Williams as the seed artist.

I’ve been basically on this journey over the last 2-3 years. The meat alternatives helped with the transition for sure since my old diet was mostly different forms of red meat and potatoes. I’m probably close to 95% vegetarian now (I make a few exceptions when splitting meals with others which is the 5%).

Gotta say, it’s been pretty nice. My blood pressure and cholesterol are down, and I’m BM-ing like a rock star (not Elvis lol).

MALILA!

Should we be making efforts to preserve guidance pages from cdc.gov, or do we trust that Internet Archive will survive through this administration to provide archived copies via wayback machine?

Yep, I subbed to that one when it moved from .world

For sure. I was like “That…looks like T’Pol” and then he introduced her. I was like “surely they wouldn’t bring back that character just to recast her” and was ecstatic when, yep, it was T’Pol.

I don’t care what she goes by, lol, I’m just shocked, amazed, and grateful they got her to reprise T’Pol (I just finished an ENT rewatch). She retired and hasn’t acted since 2017. She’s also Mrs. Ticketmaster so she definitely doesn’t need to work. Glad she’s a Trekkie otherwise it probably wouldn’t have happened.

Subbed

Da fuq is wrong with you?

Thanks. I just had the main domain blocked, but I think I needed all of the subdomains as well. From the looks of those worker domains, it may be a cat-mouse game trying to keep them blocked.

I’m unfamiliar with Clubsall. Is it pulling them via federation or fetching via API? Would defederating work? I appear to have already defederated, likely in response to your earlier post, but not sure if that does anything. And that only stops them from pulling content from my instance, not what I posted to any other.

I just started this one and have to keep pausing it to calm down every time he introduces a member of his crew.
