FYI as someone that’s colorblind these captcha’s don’t seem to have anything specially relevant to being colorblind in them.

Now if they start showing me a dozen traffic cones and asking me to pick the green one, we might have a problem.

WebKit based browsers like GNOME Web do still exist and do a reasonable job. That’s funded by Apple though so…

Yes. I donate to various open source projects (e.g., KDE, Sunshine, Dark Reader), the conservation fund, the ACLU, and the EFF.

As for how, I try to do it via their preferred platform on an annual basis instead of monthly (if possible) to minimize fees.

Why? I believe charity is a path towards shaping the world for the better (and I can afford to). Rule #1: take care of yourself before taking care of others.

This song. My freshman year roommate is probably responsible for a million of those plays and he ALWAYS played it at max volume on his laptop.

Either his mom filled out his roommate survey or the university didn’t read them. That was a rough semester.

I echo the suggestion to support local shops, but I do occasionally go with a larger chain… It’s not better pizza than the local shops it’s just a different pizza.

I tend to prefer Domino’s over Pizza Hut and especially over Papa John’s (something about their formulation tends to upset my stomach way more than any other pizza… Plus the former CEO is very active in politics and not in a way I approve of).

To my Domino’s tastes significantly better … Pizza Hut used to be great, but I’ve been thoroughly unimpressed every time I’ve tried it in recent memory.

There’s also local variance in these chains; some towns have a better Pizza Hut than Domino’s 🤷‍♂️

Indeed

For me it’s a mix of what you said and how they treat their employees/where they’re making the product.

I spend extra time trying to find higher priced, higher quality, more fairly manufactured products.

I agree honestly. I’ve gone through the exact process op has described several times now and flew even more before the process started.

I think the lines are worse than they used to be. I have not seen the scan improve anything. The only time I’ve seen things move slower for me is recently the agent hadn’t done an opt out in a while and had to remember how to do it. The TSA precheck line I was in did not have opt out signs posted. I just politely asked anyways (and they did comply).

I had a similar situation happen with customs where the guy was confused by my request and hadn’t done one it the old way in a while but honored it without argument.

ClamAV is mostly for filtering things on mail servers or uploads to a shared resource like a wiki.

You can also use it as a system virus scanner, but most viruses it detects are Windows viruses.

🙄

What companies use Kaspersky?

Isn’t this mostly a consumer level issue?

Yeah, IDK about that. Nobody in Ohio cares about NYC’s layout anyways.

I’d settle for first party repair and a repair window of up to 20 years.

Modification is great and should always be legal… But I’d take the win to get away from so much throwaway technology.

Well those are all historically guys names AFAIK.

Not as complicated, but the parts are bigger. Few would want an even bigger smart watch just to get repairability.

Man, that’s the kind of relationship I dream about… Though swap the climb for a hike because I’m deathly afraid of heights 😂

Just did a refresher per your request… We did not ever to my knowledge use civics tests. We used literacy tests and what made them particularly offensive was they had various exemptions for white people or simplified variants for white people.

I am very icy to the idea of tests in general due to the effects having a “test” to vote could have. However, having a very low bar test of some sort administered without exceptions … it might make sense.

We don’t let people drive whose eyes fail a safety test. Maybe we shouldn’t let people vote if they don’t even have a surface level understanding of what they’re voting for.

I’m not saying do it, but maybe we shouldn’t totally write it off because of some bad behavior without any safeguards to prevent bad behavior.

Deist is IIRC some number of gods probably existed and set the world into motion but do not play a role in day to day life.

Maybe, but also maybe not. A test that’s targeted specifically at “do you understand how the government functions” is actually quite different from a lot of other tests and less likely to be subjective.

Like, if there was a question, what part of the government writes laws:

• Congress
• The President
• The Supreme Court

if you get that wrong, you probably shouldn’t be voting.
