Hum sadly on my client that option isn’t there. I can only block communities or users. Can’t block whole instances. :(

Might consider changing client :)

You can block specific instances on an account level? Tell me more please.

Yeah, I’m honestly concerned since my parents’ political views changed radically the last 5~10 years or so. They were super loving and caring. Now they’re very “paranoid” about things that shouldn’t really leave them that stressed and xenophobic bordering full on racism. Overall gender related topics topics, random news on Facebook, immigrants…

I think that, if my parents that were so understanding and caring about everything and everyone, can somehow have their opinion change drastically in 5-10 years, what’s preventing that from happening to me, or my generation, down the road? I’m not trying to say that every gen X or boomer thinks that same way though. But a lot of them have grown more “resentful” I guess…

Yeah, computers and Internet aren’t their expertise so maybe they’re more likely to fall for fake news and clickbaity titles designed to infuriate them and generate views.

But who knows what’s coming? Maybe there’s something else coming up that my generation will be too “boomer” to understand. Maybe we’ll fuck up everything without even noticing we’re doing it until it’s too late. Maybe I’m just being too paranoid myself.

My parents are (early) Gen X. In general I don’t think you are transparent or ignored. I’m not saying this isn’t your case though.

I appreciate my parents and even though they are “outdated” on some stuff, I value them immensely. For instance, if it wasn’t for my dad I likely would never have gotten into omputers. And that would’ve led me not have my current job (probably). I owe everything to them.

In fact, in my country at least (not US), I’m pretty sure Boomers + Gen X make up the majority of the voting power due to declining birth/death rates. (These stats are 100% pulled out of my ass, so they can very well be wrong.)

So, if anything you’re the ones who hold more power (again, in my country at least).

What I’m trying to say is, things aren’t as black and white as this stupid memes make them seem. We’re all collectively messed up somehow. :)

I wonder if in the future, millennials and gen z will become the new boomers and gen X.

That will make me kinda sad. I just hope we don’t go down the same path…

Please don’t fuck toothbrushes :(

I’ve read an article that they were about to get a lot more common outside of the US. Apparently they can better “tune” emissions that way and since there are heavy fines and a lot of control going forward that’s the argument they are using.

Also apparently manual gears are more expensive to manufacture, I think. Again I read this on an article sometime ago so it could just be BS, I can’t seem to find which it was.

Imo, they just want to greenwash this change. In reality they can save money and improve scalability and just standardize everything.

Yeah, I’ve noticed I do feel more at ease on my living room now. But the only console I own is a Nintendo switch and I games that aren’t multiplayer bore me faster, and switch’s multiplayer games don’t really speak to me too much…

Well you could in theory, use XPadder or something like that to play with a remote controller on PC. It’s not ideal by any means though…

With that + steam streaming to the TV App (just add the game as non steam) you could play WoW. Not anything competitive though lol. Just questing simple stuff or easier dungeon content.

Same. I can’t even be in the same room anymore. Somehow made gaming there feel like a chore as well…

So bored of games, that I’ll go work on some other stuff (home servers) and just taking care of day to day life stuff. Maybe I’m just growing up, but I never thought I’d be bored of games… Ever…

I still prefer working remotely though!

Next time use the cross post feature please.

This is what I’ve seen them used for! My FIL scares the crows away from his figs like that. But crows being smart as fuck, I think they know now and just ignore them. Other birds might still be scared though

Yeah, that’s my bad. I absolutely didn’t word that right. I was half asleep already ahaha

Twitch does work, but I can’t login. It says my browser is incompatible. The only reason I watch twitch is for twitch drops (I’m not really into live streams tbh) so that defeats the whole purpose.

I will try doing like someone else said and “spoof” my browser version and such. That would be great if it worked.

Maybe I that was a wrong choice of words on my end.

Twitch doesn’t let me login. I can watch still. But if I want to earn drops or something I can’t, because I can’t login. It says my browser is incompatible.

I just use edge/chrome for twitch.tv… It’s no longer compatible with Firefox for some reason… :(

Edit: twitch does work, I meant the login doesn’t. Sorry I was too sleepy to word it correctly. After pressing login even though user and password are correct I get an error message saying my browser is not compatible.

Do you use metric? :)

My personal preference is DD-MM-AAAA, but as someone that works with lots of data from different formats and timezones… I have to agree with you…

YYYYMMDD and UTC should be the global default.
