Pirates now the only ones preserving this culture, yeah

Agreed

This is why we need a Crysis demake

Ok WTF. Unencrypted PII on prem, just out in a hostile public environment???

Or religious sludge

There are ways, yes

Yeah I was being obtuse

Google has a browser now?

Legal plagiarism machine

New rule: programmatic advertising is illegal

As a forum user I agree, but would like to add that many forums do have a kind of “demerit point” system for incivility. Where racking up enough points gets you temporarily muted or banned.

My instance requires that users say a little about why they want to join. Works just fine.

If someone isn’t willing to introduce themselves, why would they even want to register? If they just want to lurk, they can do so anonymously.

EDIT I just noticed we’re from the same instance lol, so you definitely know what I’m talking about 😆

I think you’d work your way in naturally, same as any community throughout all of history.

I suppose an outsider might not be able to tell a web of trust that’s only bots trusting eachother, so you still have to think critically about what you read

This folk doesn’t even grample lmao but seriously amp me on stunkyr

I’m just shocked that there are marketing departments that actually know what they’re doing. Granted I haven’t worked for any huge companies, so that’s probably why I have difficulty picturing it.

I just don’t have time to invest in learning a new operating system.

That’s fair. I got turned on to Linux in college so this is how I feel when confronted with Windows or Mac devices. I just get so frustrated every time I try, and it doesn’t seem like the end result is worth it if I can just stick with what works and not have to worry about some random update radically and inexorably altering how my computer works.

I even got an email out of nowhere right in my inbox from Dell the same day I was talking about Dell laptops with my book club. I would be so shocked if these examples are mere coincidence

Having worked on the tech side of email marketing campaigns I would actually be impressed

Welp, can’t argue with that

I feel like it’s whispering bad advice at me while I’m typing. It’s good for as auto completing the most rudimentary stuff, but I have a hard time imagining it completing even one file without injecting dangerous bugs, let alone a large refactor.
