I don't understand how giving a statistic of the average age of juvenile sex offenders supports your point.

Words for clothing tend to shift their reference to the wearers of the clothing over time. Perhaps it was so ordinary that it never made it into literary record.

Yeah he installed a webserver on his router and walks up to the BSD port maintainer and complains about security LOL, he even archived it.

You're still wrong. Here are 2 uses.

brown shirt (plural brown shirts)

1. Alternative form of Brownshirt

2. A worker whose role is identified by a uniform with a brown or khaki shirt.

> We really could use a brown shirt in the Park. 2007, Dana Stabenow, A Deeper Sleep, page 36

digital brownshirt (plural digital brownshirts)

1. (slang, US, derogatory) A right-wing blogger.

> "They paid actors to make make phony video press releases and paid cash to some reporters who were willing to take it in return for positive stories. And every day they unleash squadrons of digital brownshirts to harass and hector any journalist who is critical of the President." Al Gore (October 2005), “Al Gore Addresses We Media”

This game is so silly it makes me laugh. It works great on Windows 10. I don't have that fancy trimmed chrome titlebar just the regular box style.

It reminds me of a program my brother wrote in high school that would spawn invading spaceships (Java Triangles) onto your desktop and they would bonk your mouse around.

Meanwhile, I was in the corner of the lab playing Starcraft.

It surprises me that people think their common $CLOUD_STORAGE_PROVIDER doesn't already scan files for child exploitation material.

I just switched back to "never combine" on my Windows 10 taskbar after a lawyer complained on Reddit about this feature being removed in Windows 11. Said he has like 15 word or pdf files open at a time. He can see the title of all of them without navigation. I know that feeling.

Never combine seems nicer than navigating a stack of 20 browser windows (the browser icon) on my stack of 20 programs on the taskbar that I have to swing my mouse pointer around like a neanderthal just to look for where I need to swing it to next.

If it's a browser specifically, I have to look for the right tab of the 20 non-merged tabs too. That's 3 neanderthal grunts with the mouse to find where I was 15 min ago.

Idea: Why not stack the browser tabs too so it's all in one place.

When the windows aren't combined, I like that I notice when the taskbar starts looking like sardines. Otherwise I don't notice. Hours later, I have 40 browser windows open when my computer chugs upon clicking the browser icon. I don't realize until it's too late because I use alt-tab most of the time.

I think UI design is getting worse in almost every way and this is just a symptom of it.

Wayland brought back some interest in window managers[1]. On Windows, holding Windows key + arrow keys to snap windows is one of my favorite features. They stole that idea from the tiling managers. It's useful! I'm surprised Microsoft didn't remove it in Windows 11 to make their UI all floaty like a Mac.

On any Apple device, I have to drag my aging neanderthal hand over a touchpad with the delicacy of a butterfly to go "warp speed" between two windows.

Anyways thanks for reading my impromptu ted talk rambling on navigating the electric box under cognitive load.

It's not perfect. I've gotten accounts suspended from phone verification services. I don't want to share numbers with spammers and drug dealers for this reason.

OpenMW is one of my favorite open source projects. The upcoming 0.48 apparently fixes the Lady birthsign bug. Someone must have bit the bullet and reworked the magic effect system. Thanks guys!

It's not some secret when more kids know this happens than parents. It's been full speed ahead for quite some time.

I shredded all of my comments before I left.

> It is easier, less stressful and arguably more dignified buy illegal drugs on the black market.

LOL I can only dream of ordering my meds to my door from a site that looks like Amazon.

I stopped using dropbox after finding it quarantines files. You won't know about this until you try to migrate off Dropbox. It just gives me the creeps now.

I just drag my Windows XML script driver into SYSTEM32 folder (for my HP indigo 7000 series ink press) then I press the rest.

Is it just me or did the unencrypted URL column thing fly right under the news in December?

It's a tutorial to build a Chrome extension. Like, a project template. He links source code, found a privacy issue in Chrome, and the Grinch-plundering Whoville character made me laugh. That's already asking a lot for a Substack post.

They're just citing their source LOL!

First I got a treadmill, then I got a barbell, then I got a squat rack (and bench). This was over the course of a year or two. I am lucky to have a good basement floor for this. If your house can handle equipment, I say invest in equipment.

I let the equipment "marinate" for awhile (I didn't use it the first year). I guess it took awhile for me to start using it. One day I did a 10 minute walk, I didn't even change clothes. I kept doing it, and increasing duration and intensity and adding lifting days. These days, I workout 3-5 times a week, 90-120 minutes per workout. Mostly treadmill. I feel a lot better than before.

I personally couldn't be happier not going to a gross gym, or relying the weather. Probably one of the better decisions I've made for my health, but to each their own.

If you somehow find how to contact Google Support, I'd pass along the url with the ID. Maybe you have a rogue SMTP client putting the message into an unlabeled folder. Or your account is cursed, I like some of my gmail accounts more than others. It's hard to say. Sorry about that though. I've looked into recording all of my HTTP/HTTPS (decrypted) packets because losing important documents like this drives me crazy.

How else do I get the dinosaur mouse cursor onto my nuclear centrifuge device?

Lots of layoffs happening right now. Not that I agree but it might have been low hanging fruit.

Yes, there is a federal yearly quota of Schedule II ADHD drug product that each manufacturer is allotted. I don't know the exact process but can read more in detail at these links.

I think it violates private information policy. The last thing I want is my work name in a screenshot from an internal conversation posted on Twitter, reported by the news like I am a dissenter after getting terminated. I would want to be left completely alone.

Extreme cases i.e. leaked passwords are under hacked materials policy.

The 5% that fool themselves: '1/5 stars - This stupid modem doesn't have wifi. The $20 a month modem from Comcast has wifi.'

My Tweets are edgy and don't look great for advertisers lmao. Why should Twitter keep me?

My replies to Tweets aren't even in the always-dead bin at the bottom. The bin where you have to click to "Show additional replies, including those that may contain offensive content".

Literally it has penis pics, OnlyFans referrals, and an occasional sliver of humanity which has me question what they did to be flagged as always dead. But not my replies.

My replies only appear on my profile under the Tweets and replies tab.

In some cases, I would rather be in the click for more 'penis bin' than be shadowbanned.

People should Tweet directly at the person instead of hogging the reply space with OT insults.

It had zero affect on you 15 years ago. Is α > 0.05 comment on ADD in thread on ADHD diagnoses (2018) considered flame bait?

I didn't stop drinking until it felt like a hot knife was stuck in my liver. My peers didn't understand. So I ended up on /r/cripplingalcoholism, the happiest place on earth.

Between the pain and the um... high turnover on the subreddit, it just kind of ruined it for me. I stopped going to the liquor store. If I didn't buy it, I didn't have a problem.

I guess the only tip I have is you'd be surprised the amount of extra time you'll have by squeezing out an extra day or two of sobriety.

Why stop at grapefruit juice? I've heard citrus juice can have unpredictable effects on any drug.

Imagine you have a peanut allergy and have to check the labels on everything to see if it contains peanut or processed in a plant with peanuts.

Then you walk into the drinks aisle and see grapefruit juice box with a big red banner WARNING THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS GRAPEFRUIT JUICE.

I used to set the group policies by hand. The tweak tools take me 5 mins and cover 95% of what I want. It's easy to footgun if you don't know what each option (sort of) does.

These days I leave programs like OneDrive, app store, edge, the xbox ones unless it's like a VM.

My computer runs how I want it to.
