What struck me as weird is that it’s not a smooth curve like you would expect from lens distortion or whatever, it’s straight for 6 windows, then angled from #7 on, which is what made me wonder if the building was subtly angled or something.

Reddit decided to get a lil fashy and start banning people even for just upvoting shit.

As good as can be expected after getting perma-banned on reddit for violating rules with multiple accounts just hours before my 7-day temp ban for ‘encouraging violence’ was lifted on appeal, despite only ever having had 1 account in my entire 14 years of using reddit.

That headline should read ‘Capitalist enterprise unsurprisingly open to the idea of making shitloads of money, but we like money too so we wrote an article about something that shouldn’t be news even to small children.’

Is… is that building bent? Look at the very top row, the first 6 windows all extend a uniform distance below the top edge of the image, so the camera is straight-on to them (horizontally anyway), but from #7 on they get progressively lower indicating that section of the building is at an angle to the camera.

I know, it’s a weird thing to fixate on, but… ADHD brain is ADHD. :P

You know, I’m 52 years old and I don’t think I’ve ever seen an up-close picture of yak that gave a good sense of scale. Those things are just cold-weather banthas.

I mean, if you believe Camus, yes?

Wow, I haven’t heard anything from those guys in a hot minute.

I used Brave for a while and found I still needed to use ublock to cover some things, especially stuff like Youtube ads.

Windows user who turned that shit on within an hour of installing the OS:

Yeah, I got a 7-day ban for ‘encouraging violence’, when all I said was that Luigi didn’t deserve to go to jail for what he did. I appealed, my account was restored, but not before being (as of now, I literally just noticed this) permanently-banned for ‘multiple, repeated violations of Reddit’s Content Policy on your other account(s).’ I have had only one account on Reddit for 14 years, I don’t even make throwaways, so it seems like they’re really scraping for excuses. What’s hilarious is that my account was reinstated 3 hours ago from the appeal for teh temp-ban, but the perma-ban came 11 hours ago, so they perma-banned me then lifted the temp-ban. Thanks, guys. :P I’m going to appeal it just to see what their response is, but fuck 'em.

I didn’t realize there were firefox forks, are any of them significantly better than firefox?

Yeah, I switched to Firefox when this whole Manifest V3 thing was announced, I only still have Chrome installed because it’s better for PDFs than Firefox and once in a great while i run into a site that doesn’t work right on Firefox.

Yeah, I heard someone say a week or so ago that they straight disabled it in the browser, and now only the gimped version that works with Manifest V3 works now. Thankfully I switched to Firefox when all this Manifest V3 stuff was announced. As far as I know it’s the only browser out there that isn’t based on Chromium (which Google also controls, so browsers like Brave will likely be affected by this soon as well, unless a bunch of those smaller browsers get together and fork Chromium and maintain it themselves, which I’m not very hopeful about) and so doesn’t have to worry about these shenanigans.

I’m kinda weird in that I’m very text-oriented rather than visual-oriented, and this even results in a preference for keyboard over mouse, if I can’t hotkey a thing by god I will go get a tool that will let me hotkey it, etc. As such, I type everything up in a notes app that syncs between my phone and PC. Also, while I do sometimes bookmark things, I often forget that I have so most things I find again just by remembering what I searched for last time when I find it.
