It’s how useful scales work.

But well done on the Herculean effort you’ve put forth in demonstrating your general ignorance.

Dear god, is Fahrenheit the reason behind meaningless movie ratings? Another reason to hate it…

I dunno, man. You’ve been driving home this idea that Fahrenheit is a scale and therefore great for intuiting ambient temperature, you can’t just turn around and be all ‘Well OBVIOUSLY 50% isn’t the neutral point.’

In any scale where 0 is dangerously low and 10 is dangerously high, 5 would be a happy medium.

That’s a number you just made up.

Either way, use a blacklist then. If you really care about what sites they access, use a whitelist.

Yeah just caught that after I posted it. Ah well; you’re right: at least it’s there for posterity.

Exactly. It’s like a tacit admission that the only reason to have this stuff is for people like Joe.

This fight is actually easy once you have a click moment, as there are only two steps. Simply:

  1. Block all of his attacks.
  2. Exploit all of his openings.

Good luck, I hope this helps.

This is what I did. If you generally know what you’re doing around computers it just requires patience and a willingness to “Read the (Friendly) Manual.”

If you’re running intel, nVidia, dual GPU setup, and some other things, your installation will be more involved.

But the great part is that once you’ve set all that up, things just generally work and the Arch wiki is an amazing resource.

Nah, I’m happy to hear there are still some thriving out there. Gives me hope for the future. I’ve just noticed that I’m corralled towards Reddit any time I seek out the sorts of discussions that used to happen on forums.

AI means Reddit will always look alive at a glance.

Like you still get some people complaining that lemmy isn’t active enough for them to leave Reddit, even though they’re just hanging out with bots all day.

None of the small tight knit ones I used have survived outside of VI Control. But even the remaining ones are barely turned up by search engines.

How does anything Hamas are doing have any bearing on this guy openly broadcasting his genocidal fantasy?
