I ran into this as well. I think I got around it with a custom uBlock filter. I can’t blame you for ditching the site completely though, that’s totally understandable.

Same here. A local store had a Black Friday sale that Echoes of Wisdom qualified for, despite only being released within the last couple months, so I snagged it. But I still haven’t gotten around to playing it yet.

I looked into it a while back, but it seemed more complicated than I needed it to be, and was oriented around notes being written on certain dates. What I wanted to set up was something more like a simple markdown wiki, with interlinked pages.

I use Markor on my phone and Notepad++ on my computer.

I also have Obsidian, which isn’t FOSS and is built to save files with every change which I don’t like, but has some nice display features. I mostly use that one for viewing Markdown files, and the other two for writing them.

If they just stop watching, they’re not wielding power over people they hate.

All of the conservative handwringing over “cancel culture” for the better part of the past decade was them wishing they could do all the canceling themselves.

I ran across the term “social murder” a while back, which seems to describe the type of murder that Brian Thompson was guilty of.

Might be a UK thing. Here in the US I don’t think I’ve ever been to a theater that allowed any outside food or drink. I doubt it’s because of safety, I’m pretty sure it’s because it would cut into their profits from concession stand sales.

“I used to commit treason. I still do, but I used to, too”

To be fair, a lot of movie theaters ban bringing in outside food. At least in my experience. I agree with just not eating though. It would certainly be healthier to decouple moviegoing from snacking.

Because that would entail extra effort and cost in order to benefit humanity in general, and why do that when they can just keep more profit for themselves?

I still have my old phone since it has at least one paid app on it that was removed from the Play store. I can’t download the app I paid money for to my new phone, but I can still use the copy installed on my old phone.

Realizing this has completely dissuaded me from spending money on apps, but that’s a whole other thing…

Is it possible to convert an existing Home installation to a Pro installation without completely wiping the system and reinstalling everything?

Can those services and registry keys be disabled on Home editions as well?

To follow on from that: I wonder to what degree this is a deliberate effort to impoverish people. The more American citizens (Trump supporters or not) living in precarity, the more cheap unskilled labor will be available to replace deported migrant labor…

I’m in one of the states that does all mail-in paper ballots. The idea of going to a centralized location to vote on an electronic touch screen ironically seems antiquated to me. Using screen feels like barely a step away from the punch hole ballots my parents voted with when I was a kid.

I remember hearing this on the radio back in the day. It was the first time I heard a rock song I really strongly liked, and the album it was from was the first CD I ever purchased.

I’ve since gone on to be much more of a metal guy than a punk rock guy, but I’ll always remember Fuck Authority.

I don’t go for soft drinks often, but when I want one there’s a few brands of root beer that come in glass bottles that stores near me keep stocked.

Every single point of fact made in the declaration is not just paralleled, it is Mirrored with exactness.

I dunno about every single point, I feel like the “merciless Indian savages” bit was uncalled for…

Guessing that LLM will be named Comrade

If he dies in office, we get President Vance, which could be a worse prospect for democracy than Trump.
