The amount of changes I’ve made and things I’ve installed. If I move to another distro, it’s gonna be at least a week before I have everything back up to where I want it.

Wow. I hate that. It’s positively terrible but it explains so much. And worst of all, I am in far too deep to switch distros at this point.

Okay. Firefox Focus is a totally different thing.

I’m on mobile, Firefox Focus. It has a basic adblocker, but doesn’t do anything about shitty design.

Oh my God fuck this site. Ya get to the bottom of the article and a pop-up appears and when you close the damn pop-up you’re automatically taken back to the top of the article WHY

In both instances, they relegated Sanders to the background. Don’t get me wrong, his ideals are more extreme for sure. Better without a doubt, but extreme enough to potentially split the vote with uninformed voters. The other candidate was generally a safer choice, and so they were the candidate everyone heard about, while Sanders was largely kept out of the public eye.

That said, a leftist with a braincell would understand that even the worst Dem is better than Trump, and that the destruction Trump could cause far outweighs the need for the Dems to learn a lesson. Keep things at least fucking livable until Trump’s ancient, clogged up heart gives in, and then make a fucking point, don’t burn the whole world down.

Some further important context, the ‘comparison’ Judicial Watch made to come to this conclusion was based on, on one side, ‘the most recent voter registration data for counties’ and on the other, a math-based population estimate collected over the course of five years.

It’s kind of like claiming that Johnny, age eighteen, is a different person from Johnny, age thirteen, based on height difference.

Edit: A better analogy might be standing in front of Johnny, taking off your glasses, and then demanding the blurry blob tell you what it did with Johnny.

Make no mistake, what Google is doing is absolutely dangerous. Malvertisements are definitely a thing. Back in 2010, I got a virus from an ad on a meme site that just went through and trashed my hard drive.

It’s unfortunate that there are use cases out there where Chrome is absolutely required. Firefox can’t display large directories, for instance. It’ll lock up while chromium browsers work fine.

Me when I lie.

The headline is slimy

Are you referring to the use of the word “killshot”? Otherwise, the headline says exactly the same thing.

Its offline installers ‘cannot be taken away from you’

No implication of outright ownership, just that they can’t take away the offline installers. I mean, I guess it doesn’t outright say “that you’ve already downloaded,” but given the length, I’d say that’s a passable omission.

I would personally recommend not purchasing it. Not saying don’t play it, but there’s no one who will profit from it who should.

This is happening because the site is shitty so don’t use the shitty site. Sounds pretty f’n on-point to me.

Yep, looked it up again today and some proper information has been posted publicly in the interim since I last tried. I was able to strip the drm from a handful of my books today using it and an older version of the Kindle PC app.

I looked in to the whole DRM removal thing. From what I could tell, everything was majorly out of date, required a really old version of Calibre, and didn’t work with newer books.

Edit: So, this is out of date info. There’s a fork and it works with a fairly recent version of the PC app. Basically no fuss.

ITT: Wicked coping with some terrifyingly invasive practices from people none of us know.

Wonder if 3.0 will finally fix alpha levels.
