I used to use it solely for sports news updates. Once Elon bought it, kept constantly getting politics news that I didn't want. Kept adding blocked terms hoping to not see it anymore. Nope. Kept getting pushed right wing bullshit. Deleted and never looked back. It helps that people have actually moved to Bluesky. The biggest issue I have is with Reddit and Lemmy not having the sports communities here. Game threads for Orioles games had 0 comments. I'm not going to just sit there and post to myself.

I had tried Plasma 5 in the past and I just don't think I put enough time into figuring out how to customize it. It wasn't as intuitive to set up the desktop layout as Cinnamon was. Wanted to test it out when KDE6 came out and loved it. Switched from Endeavour back to Mint due to some instability on Arch (a couple kernel updates broke bluetooth which my mouse and keyboard are both bluetooth) but wanted to get back with KDE so testing out Tuxedo. It's really nice thus far.

A great use of plastic...

Talk about a gross mischaracterization of what is actually said in that blog post. You made it seem like Firefox is getting rid of ad blocking which is far from the truth of what that post says. It doesn't even mention ad blocking. Maybe don't editorialize a post and present it as fact.

Waterproofing is very difficult with a headphone jack

Something I have heard in the past but is a headphone jack that much harder to waterproof vs a USB-C port? I'm genuinely curious because I don't know. It feels like the two would be of a similar difficulty.

I mean, machine learning and AI does have benefits especially in research in the medical field. The consumer AI products are just stupid though.

But they also seemingly worship grown men like Trump and Musk who have nothing better to do than complain about how they've been wrong on Twitter and Truth Social. Like seriously, if I had the amount of money that Elon does, you'd never hear from me because I'd be busy doing cool shit and not posting on Twitter. Like how lonely is his life?

Yeah but then you gotta change it every 30 days and it can't use any of your last 24 passwords so you can't even cycle through 10 numbers in one spot or even two spots. So you'd have to do like "p0s0w0rd" and then do "p1s0w0rd" and so forth.

Whoops. Forgot a restriction, can't use repeating characters either so that one doesn't work either.

My current employer has the dumbest restrictions for passwords to our core system. It is a large regional bank. Our core system must have a password that is either 7 or 8 characters long (nothing shorter or longer). It cannot have any vowels or special characters. It cannot have any capital letters. It cannot have two numbers in a row.

I just don't understand how these people are so upset at every single little thing and it's not just upset about it, they think that every thing they don't like is a personal affront to them. Like it's gotta be exhausting to constantly be that upset.
