@Tante_Neel The usual unknowns that instill fear 🤷‍♂️ Nothing new here 😅

@pasture
Who are you? And for what reason would you be popular?

In season 3 the character Kurt Bunker gets introduced. He has a troubled path and he wears it on his skin, but I get the feeling he is going to play an important role in future episodes. I am curious what this flawed but ultimately interesting character is going to do in the future.

Show thread

I've started watching . The first two seasons can be summarized as: Drink! Fight! Fuck! The story is pulp and it just action for action's sake. Fucking for the imagery (and it makes me moist AF, holyshit its hot). Its all fun and games and its an enjoyable little show if you don't want anything complex.

And then season 3 hits. Shit gets really dark and the cinematographic really ramps up the psychological aspect of it all and it does this really well. The darker undertones become really visible and it does this really well.

I haven't finished season 3 yet, but I am looking forward to watching the remainder of this season.

And with sustained sleep deprivation the world seems pretty bleak.

@freemo Edgy take. I am somewhere in the middle of these positions. Either way, I think spending needs to be cut.

@freemo To be fair, Gab is just whatever and I doubt the people who replied have any issue with such a small platform.

Facebook on the other hand, where to begin? ;-)

I voted Twitter, I think the public discourse and policy stemming from it is just toxic and detrimental to western liberal societies as a hole. There are good things from time to time, but its a net negative at the moment.

I hate this so much. Update your car to the max... and the police went along with you. Because fuck the taxpayer.

Shortly after I uninstalled this piece of shit.

@matrix That's a Saitek X52 Pro throttle. Its a left handed peripheral of a two-handed HOTAS set, and the joker in the clip is holding it wrong.

@freemo I am wondering what getting canceled on the FediVerse looks like... ;-)

Remember a while back when Gab Dissenter got released? Via a browser plugin users would able to comment and discus websites and articles that wouldn't otherwise be possible because the comment section would be turned off or there was no comment section to speak off. This allowed users to discuss sites and articles outside the control of its operators. And this worked, it worked really great even. There was a move to decentralize commenting on the Internet and for a time it worked, and it was great!

However, the biggest flaw in this initiative was Gab. I am not a fan of the average content, so by extent its users and finally the comments and the discourse that followed from it. While I don't have a hate-boner for Torba and Gab, the mainstream media and the apparatchiks did. So pretty swift the plugin got wiped from Mozilla and Chrome stores and I haven't seen anything from them ever since.

Even back then I wanted an OpenSource solution that allowed for a self-hosted instance, possibly even federated. I didn't forget about it, nor did I actively pursue it, but it was somewhere living rent free in the back of my head. It was recently it came back to mind after the whole shitty polarized situation we are currently in and sites were doing their best to please their corporate overlords by censoring the fuck out of people.

So this is what I want to do is the following; Name the suite "Echos" or something. You install the Echo browser plugin. You point this to one or multiple server instances. These server instances are software called/running "echo-chambers" in which you leave your comments. So the whole thing is about leaving your echos on a page are a website.

But this is something I will start in the new year, because for the remainder of this year I will be studying for an exam.

What do you guys think?

@Jdogg247 I have been pretty reckless the past 18 months and I have (AFAIK) yet to catch it.

@matrix I can't get Davinci Resolve to work on my Manjaro box either. 😞
