I’m getting only a 403 cors error from flipboard even on a fresh firefox profile. This works though: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=DuKtXfuWsuY

Snake oil salesmen never had it so good. Without the layers of abstraction provided by computers, nobody would’ve believed their magic elixirs would protect children from getting interested in sex until their parents approved of it.

I don’t know about your posts, but mine are extremely valuable. Almost as valuable as actual physical graffiti written on the outhouse walls.

Illiteracy. People are addled by the constant barrage of propaganda, most of it in the form of advertising, its characteristic obsessions with superficial appearances, its constant reliance on lazy stereotypes, its overestimation of the worth of stupid jokes dressed up with a clever veneer, and its insipid pandering to the lowest common prejudices. Intellectual laziness and sloppy thinking based on learned heuristics rather than any kind of logic hace come to dominate our politics, our workplaces, our social lives, our whole culture. It has begun to sink in at an unconscious level and undermines the foundations of our socially constructed worldviews. It is the final victory of the Spectacle, the complete divorce of humanity’s understanding of its own situation from the reality of it.

On the other hand, I like memes. They’re funny.

There may be other relevant UK law

Perhaps we need some more specific word than “privacy” for the right to freedom from automated mass surveillance in public spaces.

Whether or not they have it in the back of their greasy little minds somewhere that they’d like to kill of every alternative that can’t be bought out instead, this is also facebook desperately trying to stay relevant. If they don’t federate, it’s all or nothing: Unless they become completely dominant in the field of mastodon-like social media services their product will be quickly forgotten. If they do federate, they have some chance to survive if only by being known as the one, alone among the current billion-user contenders, that does actually federate.

Gone, gone, gone beyond, entirely gone beyond.

welcome to the end of the world!

Assuming that the translation is accurate, the whole thing is so absurdly exaggerated that I wonder if it’s meant to serve as advertising for the thing it purports itself to be attacking.

As people have said in some of the many, many other threads on this subject, if they really wanted to copy someone else’s style of full-screen error message they’d have done much better to go with “Guru Meditation”

Unless there’s bigger news you’ve not mentioned, this has nothing to do with the fediverse.

The only way to avoid having disagreements about which choice of distro is best would be to avoid having any choices.

Remind your friends that end-to-end encrypted messaging is a thing that exists.

If you want examples of games where the situation with mods is much worse than it is for Skyrim, you could look at literally any other game that exists. For one indication of that, if you look at the front page of nexusmods.com right now it appears to list the games it covers in order of mod files downloaded. Skyrim is #1 (SE) and #2 (LE) on the list. The next three are other Bethesda games. Skyrim Special Edition is ahead of the first non-Bethesda game on the list by an order of magnitude. You will not find a game anywhere else offering anything like the quantity, quality, and diversity of mods that Skyrim has, and this is a large part of the reason it ranks among the best-selling games of all time.

They’re mad to try and mess with the model that has proven itself more successful than anything else for more than a decade.

That is working for me (on linux) but the other thing you can do is make a backup of the game files before it updates and then restore the old version afterwards, according to this post on nexus

I probably wouldn’t ban someone for it, but it’s not difficult to see why that comment is a distasteful and callous oversimplification of the reality of what’s happening, and it has nothing to do with the f word. If we’re going to pick one word to single out I’d say it should be “normal.” This situation is not normal by any standard.

Nobody will be able to give you a definitive answer. Google’s ways are unknowable. You are running the risk of losing your Google account by having a Google account.
