The Uncanny Observer

It’s not that hard at all. Twitch does this already, and they managed to make adblockers for that service.

The ads google shows have been consistently proven to still often contain malware or scams, to the point the federal government recommends you use an adblocker to protect yourself. Google refuses to do anything to stop this. Don’t bitch about how hard artists have it when they demand you support criminal enterprise and subject yourself to online stalking or identity theft in order to prop up their hopes and dreams. That ain’t solidarity, you numbfuck, that’s capitalist exploitation of the masses.

Use Jellyfin to stream it. The TV should have an app for it. You can also use Plex, if you want, but I find Jellyfin better in every way.

I’m playing Wildermyth. A longtime friend recommended it to me last night, and so I booted it up at work this morning and ended up playing for six hours straight till I finished the first campaign. Personally, I think the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam are well deserved. It’s definitely one of the best player-driven storytelling games I’ve ever played, and I can’t wait to see what the next campaign has in store for me.

Uh, I hate to be that guy, but if you can’t use Windows 11 due to hardware requirements, Microsoft put a “Try Ubuntu” button in the system settings page next to the message telling you that you are ineligible for a Windows upgrade. And if you go to their help forums, the Microsoft support reps will recommend Ubuntu LTS to you. So it’s not like the GIMP forums at all.

Yeah, if you do any sort of work with art or photography, and you use Linux, you run into them at some point. To be fair, it’s not GIMPs fault that they rally around that software, it’s just a subset of Linux users who like to stick their noses in the air that consider GIMP the only valid choice since it’s FOSS. You also see it sometimes when a Linux newbie asks for opinions on a good starter distro to get their feet wet.

Fortunately, with the increased popularity of Linux with desktop users, and of course the golden age of Linux gaming being upon us, those sort of people are becoming a tiny minority. I have faith there will be a point when they’re so few that they get ostracized from communities unless they stop being fucknozzles.

Ah, the elitist GIMP crowd. The most toxic OSS community. Those are the same people who won’t do any gaming on Linux because they refuse to install proprietary software. They’re all sweaty middle-aged men with unwashed asses, neck hair thicker than their chest hair, and an allergy to women who are allowed to speak.

Because Democrats aren’t progressives, and maintaining the status quo is good for them. They get easy paychecks from lobby groups, and don’t have to fight too hard for anything. And if something bad happens, like Roe v. Wade, they can use it as fodder to get reelected. It’s not really in their best interests to work on making things better, at least from a personal financial standpoint.

A certain anonymous mouse community has a torrent with 35 seeders. They also have it in ebook format as well. I highly recommend them, they have everything I’ve ever searched for.

Right, which is why most jobs use SSH to access remote data, especially any jobs in the tech sector. VPNs hide your geolocation, they don’t make your data private. This idea that VPNs are some kind of privacy tool is propaganda by VPN companies. You don’t need a VPN except in very specific situations, and any other time you’re just slowing down your connection.

Why would I have any desire to be nice to somebody tossing around insults? Especially some random idiot on the internet? When I talk to people, they get one chance to not be a dick. After that, fuck them, and I’ll piss in their bean curd all I want. And if that bothers you, then fuck off?

You will likely never run into any circumstances where the only option you have is to use public WiFi. You don’t even need to use WiFi at all to tether your phone to a PC, the charging cable will allow you to share your mobile data.

I suppose you have a degree in it, then? What was your major, what qualifications do you have that make you more than an “armchair netsec quarterback”? Obviously you must have years of experience in the field, no?

Many people who travel for work are explicitly banned from using public networks to connect in the first place. I know every corporation I’ve worked at has expressly forbidden it if we are accessing confidential data. With the ability of all modern phones to share their internet connection with PCs they are connected to through USB, there shouldn’t be many circumstances where you are forced to use public WiFi unless you specifically want to use an unsecured network for some reason.

Of course, many people accessing corporate data on the go will be using SSH, and a bad actor using TunnelVision can’t read that encrypted data any easier than anyone else, as the exploit breaks only the VPN encapsulation, according to the CVE.

You did read the CVE, correct? You are, after all, not an armchair netsec quarterback.

Your local network is compromised?

You monster.

Don’t be scared? I mean, even if there’s a full on civil war, which isn’t likely, why would it spill into Canada unless your nation picks a side?

What’s more likely is that democrats would do what they always do and back down, cementing our slide into facism while preventing a civil war.

What you should really be worried about is having a violent monarchy forming on your southern border, because you’ve got some socialist tendencies, and conservatives hate that.

What’s the context here? As aid, or as an attack? Need to know before answering.

Could also just be internal biases, on the side of either or both of you. Don’t rule out the possibility that you are the problem.

Well to be fair, we don’t know that you aren’t. You could be a murderer. Or even worse, somebody who doesn’t mind wearing their socks after they get wet.

Well too fucking bad for the auto industry? Just because it’s an American industry doesn’t mean we should give a fuck about it. If they want our loyalty, make fucking better cars.
