Overall gaming share is 4%? I think you mean linux useragents account for about 4% of website traffic at measured points- which is not indicative of anything because my crawler also pretends to be things it isn’t.

Boss calls me (the sole on-site IT person) on a sickday and tells me something important broke and I need to come and fix it (45 minute bus ride one-way). I know exactly what broke and I tell her if she goes into my office and turn my computer on then I can remote in and fix it in literally 5 seconds. She nearly screams at me saying that my contract doesn’t allow remote work and I don’t remember what exactly was said after this point but it was something along the lines of:

“It won’t be fixed for another 5 days then because I’m not coming in today (Thursday, and I don’t work Fridays or Mondays).”

“Ok bye”

“bye”

Guess it wasn’t important

Good riddance.

You might consider me an independent thinker (I shit in the woods)

I am convinced that the bidet shills on reddit are bots. There’s just no way that hundreds of thousands of people are suddenly interested in shitting appliances.

In a incredible stroke of irony, you just described the European Union

Clearly taken with a better camera than mine, haha

I was really surprised how visible it was. What latitude was this taken at?

“noticing patterns” is a right-wing dog whistle about jews because they think jews orchestrate society and that they are ‘noticing this’.

The usual meme is “stop noticing things” because they have pointed out something they think is the fault of jews, like chemtrails or whatever. In this example, there could be a jewish board member of a plane company and they also believe chemtrails are real so they are ‘noticing’ the supposed connection.

It is similar to the (((( )))) dog whistle, if you are familiar.

Examples can be found on the ‘noticing’ tag on ifunny https://ifunny.co/tags/noticing

This has nothing to do with dark patterns.

Maybe it’s because of what I listen to but I can generally find it on on Bandcamp, Soulseek or torrent trackers.

Yes, but on Linux I get to choose not to use Gnome

Why do you think you have to go through a checkout?

They could just pool your owed money and then charge you that at the end of the month, or let you maintain a pool that you throw money into that they take from as you use it.

I run all my dockers in LXCs on Proxmox and there hasn’t been a single problem.

I understand your point but I reiterate that I don’t connect to unsafe networks. If someone has remote code execution on a device on my side of the network then they are also inside my apartment and I’d be more worried about that.

you are brave to use your laptop that way

why? I don’t connect it to untrusted networks

You shouldn’t be touching it, honestly. There’s a firewall at your router. It should be responsible for blocking incoming traffic. Firewalls on individual machines are for servers where you know exactly what’s going in and out. I don’t have a firewall on my desktop or laptop.

You will spend the best years of your life chasing random network connections if you block everything by default.

Your ISP doesn’t give a fuck, it’s not legal trouble. It’s just overzealous sysadmins blocking anything that seems sus. I am permanently banned from most SoMe, for example, for having abnormal network activity but none of it is illegal.

You do face issues running a regular middle/guard relay. My IP is tainted from overzealous sysadmins looking up Tor related IPs and seeing mine because middle relays are public knowledge. I am banned from a lot of places for simply being a middle relay.

Oh damn true I forgot about adding a repo
