Some of the boards use a system called tripcodes, which are essentially a username and password in one that are used when writing individual posts. It allows people to prove that they’re the same person across multiple posts, without anything as identifying as a user profile attached.

That’s so much grosser and arguably just as carcinogenic.

Their other channel, Boy Boy, is doing some of the most aggressive leftist propagandizing on YouTube.

*Volt, but I like your safe-themed version

Reddit, at least the corporation and increasingly the userbase, is definitely in the process of shifting to the right. Lemmy is the kind of alternative social media the person you’re replying to is advocating.

God damn it, did you create the Torment Nexus?

I just can’t imagine begrudging the people trying to make money from it. Blame the platforms, sure, but conferring that blame onto individual users seems misguided.

RIP Autohide. Never used full screen again after Firefox version 4.

Look, I just liked the tax part, that’s why I voted for it. More housing would be fantastic, but for now I take solace in the fact that it passing made a lot of people unhappy.

Technology is one of the most politically charged topics possible. Even leaving aside big tech and AI stuff, you have the ideologues behind the open source movement, or the fact that a lot of our modern tech infrastructure is built on conflict resources and manufactured by forced labor. Politics ripple through every aspect of our lives.

Everything is political. The sooner you get over this “I’m tired of politics, let me enjoy my doomscrolling” attitude, the more respectable you’ll be.

Ew

If he’s been at it long enough to paint a wooden sign about it, I think the authorities are aware.

That is a wild leap to make. Just mind boggling. Dogs are not people, and people are not dogs. If that were not the case, a lot of the behavior and culture around dogs would be alarming, at best.

It’s sad that the guy attempting to correct your joke got more upvotes than you.

My favorite “theory” about this is based on the fact that they shot a reaction cut of Obi-Wan looking suspicious, implying that Han thought they were a couple rubes that wouldn’t know what a parsec was. That would mean it wasn’t a mistake, and you don’t need to come up with the convoluted shit other people have to justify it.

You cannot be a serious leftist and pretend to be offended by a little “anti-white” rhetoric.

Their comment was a joke, in case you missed it.
