The last season of Star Trek Disco is pretty disappointing TBH.

Entire season based around the plot of one TNG episode that went nowhere.

Adira is basically the anti-wesley crusher... they have all the skills and none of the confidence but instead of telling them to "shut up" they get constant encoragement.

And then there's the whole, making the one off "jellico" type captain #1 after he gets demoted, only to show him not learning from any of it over and over.

Kids today will never know the feeling of going to a tower records with a notebook and writing down all the albums you want to download off limewire.

Sorry not sorry, but this is what happens when you let these companies sucker you into voting against your own interests for worker protections. If they aren't offering enough before the tip while I'm already paying a 30% "service fee", i'd rather the order get logged in their system as being declined so it actually gets noticed on their bottom line, and I can just cook for myself. 2/2

My new rule is that DoorDash(ETc) TOTAL "service" fee of no more than 30% a tip is part of the service fee... I'm done with this guilt trip on ME for THEM taking more than 50% of what they charge (on top of up to 30% from what they take from restaurants). 1/2

Since I run with mostly hackers and people who are more tech savvy, privacy conscious, I find myself in a situation where about 90% of my (personal) contacts use Signal as their default, but the other 10% prefer matrix but will use signal on specific occasions (ie when we attend events together we have a signal group).

I guess for most people this would be like Whatsapp or normal SMS vs Signal, but I dont touch SMS, and only use whatsapp for scambaiting.

The bribed Supreme Court is ruling on whether or not, for example, Joe Biden, is allowed to order the military to take, for instance, the Supreme Court, and to have them, for example, murdered.

You’d think this would be an easy one but actually it looks like it’s gonna be kind of close.

@JuliusGoat Should be any easy decision for grandpa Joe to order the execution of (most of) the justices then, any justice that says its allowed is pretty clearly committing treason on behalf of trump and should be executed without a trial..

I would assume this immunity extends to anyone ordered to commit such a task as well, hopefully there arent any impressionable mentally ill people who might think they're being told by a dog to eliminate political figures.

My Air Conditioner was seeming like it wasnt clicking the compressor on anymore, i had it cracked up to max but no compressor for like 2 days... it hasnt been that hot so it wasnt a huge deal but realizing that it will soon start to get hot I was on amazon about to order a new one and JUST before i get to choosing the payment method i hear the compressor click on and sure enough she's cooling away again...

I've had to completely stop using both google and bing because the top search results are always, without fail tracking advertiement links.. usually they are to the right site, even show the correct URL but the actual link has tracking garbage that is blocked by both of my adblockers. For now I'm just using DuckDuckGo and searx.

Absolutely BRILLIANT advertising for this company, Im not sure if they just put out a press release or if 404media thought they'd really stumbled onto something big but this is an absolute NOTHING BURGER.

First of all, if you assumed anything you write on discord is private you are a fool. Second, this "spy" company barely has anything useful, at best you can find out what large servers a person uses and maybe a bit of their chat history on those PUBLIC servers.

If you care about an open Internet, contact the creators you enjoy watching and encourage them to move to decentralized platforms like PeerTube. I can promise you, it only gets worse from here with #YouTube

@tilvids Not sure what "third-party" apps they're talking about because they mention API use and the only 3rd party apps I use don't make use of youtube's API... Piped: Unaffected, YTDLP: Unaffected, NewPipe: Unaffected, SmartTube: unaffected.

The only app i've noticed any recent change on was revanced, which is not a third party app, its a mod of their official first party app and the fix was just to patch a newer youtube version.

Was helping a friend with some computer thing today and noticed Brave now has a nice big ad for turbo tax slapped on its start page along with that controversial VPN move they made a whiles back...Advised them its probably time to start moving to @Vivaldi who's business model doesnt require shoving ads in your face or sneaky VPN services into your OS.

Brave was such a cool idea I used to think, but as with pretty much every half decent idea that makes use of "crypto" it went to shit real fast.

@nathan @Vivaldi

Personally I love looking at vivaldi's start page, because as I think you already knew before posting, its completely customizable.

The ad i saw on brave was literally part of the background and not something like a tile you could remove.

My larger point is that brave has been going down hill with their attempts to make money, first it's a VPN, then ads from tubo tax, now they're shoving an AI into it. Vivaldi on the other hand has been constantly improving.

@nathan @Vivaldi

But hey use whatever browser works for you, I just like how customizable Vivaldi is out of the box, if i wanted to have the same kind of setup with firefox or anything else i'd need a bunch of extra extensions and custom user configs, which is what i used to do till i found out about vivaldi.

sapient,

@mndl27 @nathan @Vivaldi

Instead of keeping tabs open or needing an extra plugin/service Vivaldi has a "reading list" option I can use that saves links for me to read later without any third party service like pocket.

There is a completely customizable sidebar, a few of the defaults its has are quick notes and translations, but you can also add any web page.

And overall its just had a general trend of actually quality new features, even ones i don't use i still think are neat.
