Voters didn't reject women, they rejected Kamala Harris
  • My original comment was:

    I tend to think they rejected reason.

    That’s obviously an opinion; and my opinion as to why is that the voters were ignorant.

    I’m a web developer, not an analyst, mind reader or Trump supporter with firsthand knowledge of their way of thinking.

  • Voters didn't reject women, they rejected Kamala Harris
  • Honestly? Ignorance. On all the issues the media says voters votes on the most (immigration, the economy) it seems the voters had no clue what the Biden administration (and more generally, the government) has been doing.

    I said it elsewhere but it’s like everyone watched Fox News for 30 minutes and/or scrolled their algorithm-based feed to base their vote on.

  • How many users can Mastodon take per instance in a single day?
  • This is what keeps me from rolling my own instance for personal use. I would need to buy a domain (linked to me) to communicate with anyone else.

    It would be nice to be able to spin up an instance on i2p or Tor without still needing access to the “normal” web, but I don’t think everyone’s going to hop onto pure i2p unless it comes built in to apps.

  • Microsoft Edge is trying to forcefully get your Chrome tabs again / Microsoft has a history of tricks to get you to use Edge, and the latest one targets Chrome users once again
  • For me, having it locked down is the selling point. I used to be big into jailbreaking but for 90% of users it’s better this way.

    For development work though obviously having it not so locked down is kind of necessary. Luckily I don’t write apps from iOS or tvOS so it’s a nonissue for me.

  • Who was the biggest Karen you have encountered in Public?
  • I’ve seen this a lot in fast food. Their order (for the exact same thing) would be impossible to make that fast fresh, so they lose their shit if you use your brain and give them the existing one that was made minutes (seconds?) ago.

    Such simple-minded thinking.

    We had another customer come in for like three days in a row ordering fries without salt, thinking they’re soooo smart (always during rush too when fries were super fresh). I watched them add salt to them after sitting down every time. On day four I got sick of them so I made fries without salt at the very start of rush and put them aside just so that when they did it again they got the shittiest, oldest fries.

    Definitely not a professional move but I got my revenge.

  • SpyingOS
  • Well I MITM myself quite often to confirm it. I’m also smashing together hundreds of blocklists, and I always check the network tab of my browser’s developer tools and very rarely see anything coming from third-party domains.

    Sure, sometimes assets are on the actual domain I’m visiting (or its CDN) but most of the time, even tracking scripts there are broken because they still call the blocked scripts.

    By the way, it’s hilarious that everyone wants to fight so hard about this yet when someone says “use an adblocker” nobody says anything as if it’s the end-all solution.

    I didn’t say “I have a bulletproof, surefire way to fix this.” I said “use network-based blocking.” However effective that is is up to the person implementing it; you have no idea how effective my setup is because you don’t have access to its configuration.

  • Who was the biggest Karen you have encountered in Public?
  • Another McDonald’s drive-thru story but probably the guy that wouldn’t pull forward for 30 fucking seconds for fresh fries.

    I was a shift manager at the time and had my staff all hyped up during a busy lunch rush. We were kicking ass — no mistakes, drive-thru times were insanely low and everything was moving. I told some guy “could you please pull forward for just 30 seconds, I have the next five cars’ orders right here and we’re just waiting for fresh fries.”

    The guy lost it, started screaming “I won’t fucking pull forward,” “this is bullshit,” all the typical douchebag stuff.

    I closed the window and told my staff not to hand him anything. I ran outside with five bags, walked around his car and handed them all to the next cars. I told them “he didn’t want to pull forward” and made sure to point so the guy could see me ratting him out. They all took off fast and right as I walked inside the damn fries were ready so I bagged them up, opened that window and told him to have a “wonderful day.”I loved seeing his stupid face turn beet red with embarrassment.

    My second worst Karen was the woman who complained that we were too fast and called corporate to complain.
