wtf is “GeForce NOW”?

Ah, cloud gaming

Well of course they’re going to rake suckers over the coals. Anyone with an ounce of foresight knew years ago that game streaming was going to be toll roaded to hell and back.

To clarify, the term news to me translates to an organization whose purpose is to interpret events that could otherwise be better observed by going to primary sources oneself.

That’s good. It should serve as a reminder that you need to abandon a dinosaur push media. It’s a subtle way to punish normies who haven’t caught on yet.

I don’t pay attention to news sources.

Ask her what her favorite steam locomotive engine is.

Get upset when she gives the wrong answer.

Erupt into a heated diatribe about the necessity of good boiler design and make sure she knows why she isn’t allowed to be friends with you.

Yell something unintelligible at her son on the way out.

If she still comes back to you later, then you know you’ve found a keeper.

I nnn every day!

I meant to, but was rudely interrupted by a skeleton swordsman this morning.

My client is configured to reject all non-encrypted peer connections. It sacrifices some potential seeds but is worth the added defense in depth if ever my VPN fails catastrophically. Openvpn client to an obscure VPN service. All media gets passed through clamAV before being accessed.

While on the hunt for treasure, my browser is configured to send DNS traffic over Tor. All web pages only get to load HTML and images, and they (torrent sites) remain perfectly functional without anything else. DDG search with the old tricks ‘1080p’, ‘full’, ‘HEVC’, ‘x264/x265’, ‘ep0_/se0_’, ‘.mkv’ and so on.

I rotate my treasure chests between ships.

Web browsers are beginning to feel that way these days.

Routers: anything supported by OpenWRT.

Apparently the ISP modem-routers being supplied these days have virtual assistants embedded (you vill use our spyware and you vill be happy!).

Whole home cleansing. They send a guy out quarterly who assesses each room and blows sage around hot spots. My home isn’t very active but I sleep better at night knowing that there aren’t dark energies in risk corridors.

Horses were domesticated some 6000 years ago. I feel so old!

Wow that’s a lot of effort compared to just blocking CSS and javascript with something like uMatrix.

Nazi: When somebody on lemmy says this, they aren’t talking about literal jackboot historical underlings of Adolf Hitler, but instead referring to anyone who isn’t firmly on the progressive side of the political aisle.

Tankie: I’m still trying to figure this one out. Apparently it’s not referring to tank roles in online games. It supposed to be insulting, despite sounding very laudatory.

There, I saved everyone a click. Now thank me for my service.

Product manager for proprietary malware peddler attempts to convince suckers that their malware does anything other than artificially restrict users and further the cause of vendor lock-in.

This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: every male among you shall be circumcised. And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you. And every male among you who is eight days old shall be circumcised throughout your generations, a servant who is born in the house or who is bought with money from any foreigner, who is not of your descendants.

I am not obligated to respect your beliefs.
