How about last week?

Why yes this comic made me think of our users, why do you ask?

The fact that usenet has still hung on all this time as more than just a place for people to share pirated files is honestly impressive, and also is a pretty decent endorsement. Unfortunately it has a fair number of weaknesses, especially in terms of moderation tools and access these days, but ultimately a lot of what people want in a social media platform can be found on usenet. An effort to update it for modern sensibilities might actually create something pretty cool.

In fact we'll provide you with a handy list of all of the places you should absolutely avoid. Indexed by interest and type even!

We always just hung plants from them.

That or a Sky Chair, though ironically they kinda look like sex swings on their own.

Just throw someone else's phone into the ocean. Then you get to experience the thrill without the consequences. I mean unless you get caught.

Aided by the stain-fighting power of OXY CLEAN! (snorts massive line of coke)

Gosh I love scrolling through 7 pages just to read two paragraphs!

Counterpoint: Riker.

Look, I know the Federation doesn't have money, but they probably brought it back just to charge Riker for all the extra cleanup required every time he visited the holodeck.

Communists? Nah, not a problem. I mean I'm a Star Trek fan, and while it's not played up that much the Federation is a post-scarcity socialist-adjacent society. I'm all for everyone having their basic needs met without condition or obligation, and money being obsolete.

Tankies though can fuck right off. North Korea is not a bastion of democracy. China is not more free than the US. This is not difficult to see.

Personally I've had some issues with ads getting through 5 on a few devices. Version 4 always works in those cases, even though it's a bit less efficient (apparently).

Separate of that it also works with VPN Tunnel, which is great for getting around cell providers that block tethering.

From what I understand, that's difficult to do, and even if done it prevents the inline loading of images from those other instances at all.

Hopefully it'll be academic before long anyway. The CSAM attack lit a fire under the devs and changing this is now one of their highest priorities.

My dude, just today we had Neo-Nazis berating people outside Disney World about the supremacy of the white race and the need to eliminate all LGBTQ people. "Literal Nazi" isn't some coded terminology that takes a PhD in Cryptography to decipher. There are no hidden meanings here.
