Yep that’s right :) Intentionally blocked so I can never go there either accidentally or on purpose, and so any embeds or cross site tracking doesn’t work.
Same for Facebook, X, and a bunch of others, also using pihole the same as yourself.
Simply better for my wellbeing to cut some of this out of my life.
I literally can’t, because I’ve got tiktok DNS-blocked

Fair :) But on that basis why are you wanting to block things off if neither you nor anyone else is living there?
Well you said those words, but then followed on by saying what seems to be an excuse for exactly that - effectively they are rich so they can afford it
So what are we saying? Destruction of people’s property is cool if it passes some arbitrary threshold that seems like they must be “well off” to own that property?
Does that also mean it’s cool to rob anyone who owns a macbook, on the assumption they’d have a cheaper laptop if they weren’t loaded?
Where I live, the taxi drivers primarily are driving Teslas and other electric cars because they do crazy mileage for their job and so over time the Tesla is actually the most economical choice for them. And that’s just a regular working class job.
I don’t understand what you mean when you say you “don’t live there” ?
Regardless, if you consider mold in general then the room which most typically gets mild growing is the bathroom, because it’s moist and warm which is perfect condition.
It doesn’t take much to get mild growing in other places too though. If you have moisture in the air then mould could happen.
Good ventilation helps prevent mould because it lets the humid air created from normal activities like cooking and washing escape and be replaced with drier air from outside - assuming you live in a climate that doesn’t have crazy humidity.
But then, there is one heck of a lot of marine traffic out there.
When you turn up the volumes, eventually even really improbable things can happen.
I’m not making any judgements either way.
I’ve only seen Season 1 so far, waiting patiently for S2 to finish airing so I can watch it at my own pace.
I personally found it a very enjoyable watch. It’s quite slow moving, but in a good way where every little thing feels deliberate. It has a lot of intrigue, and I like that in a show.
A lot of the tension in Severance comes from the interaction between characters. Whole conversations happen where the surface conversation is ‘ordinary’ but the subtext is doing all the heavy lifting. It’s a show you can’t really enjoy just by watching in the background while you scroll on your phone. You will only enjoy Severance if you are the sort of person who likes to actually watch with your full attention.
On top of that, the set and prop design is brilliant, and that’s just the icing on to cake that makes the show a visually interesting experience.
That, or hanging subtle dong on second hand listings is their kink
Very kind and polite of you
I don’t think I can stomach watching any Black Mirror, to be honest, given how messed up actual reality is.
To play the role of the annoying five year old, “And why is that bad?”
Fair :)
Finally, some good fucking algorithm
As well as the pure cost saving there was also the notion that it was a futuristic look that would sell, and so boost profits that way, too.
And probably it did sell and market well - for a while.
I feel that consumers had become too trusting of carmakers - after all, cars have been getting better and better in terms of their usability for decades, so when carmakers went touchscreen everything, the first instinct of the average consumer would be to trust it and assume it represented an improvement.“They wouldn’t do it if it was worse, right?”
And so people buy the fancy futuristic car with no buttons, and only after driving it for a month does it sink in how much they truly hate it, and that they got sold a lie.
So there was always going to be that one generation of touchscreen-everything, before the people who got burnt by it are now the ones thinking “I won’t buy anything again that doesn’t have some buttons!”
This may in part be motivated by new guidance from NCAP, which will from next year require that all new cars have physical controls to earn the highest safety ratings.
Whatever the motivation though, I’m glad for it. Getting rid of buttons was always a dumb idea and I’m happy to see pushback.
The one I self-host shares nothing with nobody :)
