To be fair the Model S came out in like, 2012, and the 3 on 2017.

Incredible game. If you ever get the chance I 10000% recommend playing it.

It was intentional. It’s a tribute to Apollo

Google gets to control the source code, what additions are added, and what features don’t get into it.

Yes technically some organization could fork it and then maintain a fork themselves. But it’s a huge undertaking that almost nobody has the money to fund. Browsers are free so there’s really not a lot of monetization schemes for browsers.

So nobody as far as I know has really been able to maintain a hard fork of chromium for very long. Remember, every change you make then has to be maintained by you and then you have to keep it up to date with the chromium master tree while also keeping all of your changes compatible. It is a big undertaking almost as big as modern operating systems. Browsers are just too complicated so Google in this position does still have a monopoly that’s very hard to fight.

Almost all browsers other than Safari and Firefox are based on Chromium, which gives Google a ton of control.

Bluey would be much better than what it’d really be:

YouTube Kids on autoplay.

I feel like you’d be massively disappointed. There is/was very little “unhinged” stuff and what there was had zero comments or interaction.

I’ve definitely had to do that with Windows so is it not ready?

Yes of course.

But scrolling through their history I hesitate to throw that label so strongly. Would you ban them? Actually, you haven’t done so despite having the capability. Nor their communities.

I think my problem is more that they’re such a prolific poster on my small instance that it reflects more on my instance. Like if I had a few other communities that were larger than theirs I probably wouldn’t worry about it so much.

thelemmy.club admin here

Their communities are small and generally most conservative posts get clowned on if they get any attention at all. And it’s mostly self-contained. Any instance admin could just ban those few communities or that user there’s really no reason to defederate the entire instance.

I’m not at all a fan of their content but I also don’t want to ban people or comms that I personally disagree with (to a limit, of course) who don’t otherwise break rules.

But I definitely don’t want to run a right wing site. I’ve only left it alone this long because it seems like they’ve mostly failed at creating any kind of community. I may have to do something, I dunno. It’s hard to get a read on them, if you look they also post bbc, msnbc, etc articles. They post articles about Trump and Musks failures too. It’s kinda all over the place. To do it would force me to foray into a more active, ideological based moderation which I’d really like to avoid. Right now I’m at “if instances don’t like that user, they can ban them”.

No. Typically the “straight” guy in this kind of thing is the one penetrating.

I’m sure it exists but having the straight guy be the bottom is not the norm in that genre.

What? Communists, at least Marxists, ARE anarchists in a way. The main difference between them and what we usually call Anarchists is that communists believe we need to create a transitional system of socialist government that will slowly “wither away” into a communistic society - a moneyless, stateless society. i.e. a form of anarchy. Anarchists believe that no state can ever be trusted and we should overthrow the current system directly to a anarchic system. Of course there are many types of anarchists but the ones most people think of are “Anarcho-Communists”. There are other types like Anarcho-Capitalists which are like even more extreme libertarians, but that’s even more niche. The biggest, most typical group that use red/black flags are Anarcho-Communists.

They’re communists, basically. Some are anarchist. That sort of thing.

…it’s an American propaganda outlet

IIRC they basically never send anyone to Laos - it’s “uncooperative” with deportations. So it wasn’t that insane.

You can typically replace the battery inside the UPS (and should every few years). Looking at $40-50USD for “official” replacements, less for questionable third party ones.

Because as a headless server it’s likely to sit hidden for a long time. This and the always being plugged in is not good for lithium-ion batteries. If/when it starts ballooning will you notice? It’s a fire risk.

UPSes use typically lead-acid batteries like a car.

Modern Android TV box with a custom launcher. Apparently Projectivity launcher is decent.

But if you already have a Shield that’s cool keep it until it stops working. I’m just not gonna tell anyone to go buy one.

Because it’s end of lifespan and you should spend your money on something that will at least get a few years of support and updates

Yeah but I wouldn’t recommend anyone go and buy one at this point.

Heck yeah. Not always the best for power efficiency though.

Old laptops also a great choice but I really recommend removing the battery first.
