I think the reason I switched back was because my computer was underused - a lot of the memory was free and the fans hardly ever came on, except when gaming.

But now windows uses every bit of my ram, filled up my hard disk and the fans are humming along.

Thanks Microsoft!!

This is early days; I have a feeling in a few short years there will be ownership and simplicity of distributed services and whatever evolves from them.

That’s why the standard dick was introduced

A lot of people turn off js to avoid tracking, or for performance, or they are calling the search in scripts, or they are doing illegal deals in their browser. There are dozens of reasons to do this.

I’m USA based and this will impact future protests : not just the search but all google services must be avoided in the future.

This will also break tens of thousands of scripts

Twitter ( X run by the twit) and Facebook do the very same but worse . I wonder why they were not banned?

Yes, not having all eggs in same basket is good

I have my domains at namecheap. No drama. Sometimes they live up to their name, would not use their hosting services.

When I use the domains elsewhere , I just enter the name server URL’s in their web gui from the 1990s.

Over the years I have heard bad stuff about them too

I would pay billions to make this timeline to happen

There are dozens of us; but I am scared to use go daddy now , not just for all the horror and cut back tech support, or for it’s shady business practices, or deceptive marketing.

But because I heard that they keep stealing valuable ip and domains

Wildly depressing!

I guess all the corruption and moral collapse allows me, who has absolutely no clue about law, to actually have educated guesses how important cases are voted.

I simply ask myself “how would a bad person decide?”

And it sounds like in your case you need new and fancy, if I had to start over I would do arch

I have to use some programming tools and languages to code; installing them side by side and updating was a major hassle. Now I just have some aliases in command prompt.

Docket desktop was a major religious experience for me; much easier than before

Ever since docker became available, along with flatpak; the Linux running these became less of an issue for me

Debian was good enough for my grandfather and it’s good enough for me. Seriously, running cinnamon desktop in Debian is my best option.

I don’t need fancy, just no breaking

Plot twist: am grandfather myself

I program a lot with both wp and laravel over the last years. Not sure what I want to say other than they are cool but different vibes and skills.

Wp can be used out in the box by almost anyone who is web savvy; laravel is always needing some assembly, at the least, so the entry there is programming or deep pockets to pay that.

Wp community and sites is probably a thousand times larger than laravel?

Bleach?

Nothing stopping meta from adjusting or hiding the vote count later. Hundreds of ways to fiddle with that thing, some really subtle and would not generate drama.

I’m pretty sure the current reason to remove the fact checking is so the company is not put on a collision course with government, a government that will lie so much daily it will break all records.

So, just because they can alter the community notes does not mean they will

I can’t count that high

I’m not well versed in the saints, but I think this is a better origin story than most.

All we need is a tearful prayer, with a vow towards some further action: even if it’s just in a cell for the rest of his life.

And then he is on the same level, in my opinion, of some medieval saints I know a little about.

Could easily be a saint for denied claims and other obstacles in healing.
