I’m curious as to why you’re using a straw at all.

is it that because you’re at a restaurant?

You should know that by giving most restaurants your patronage, you are contributing to a lifestyle that we all cannot participate in.

Warms me heart to see people in this thread thinking for themselves and not doing something just because other people are.

The only person I know who says skibidi is 30.

The problem is twitch and influencer-culture, not necessarily young users.

I’d wager a benefit of having young people on the internet is that they at least have the potential to provide value because their brain hasn’t been rotted to the core like most adults.

It’s shocking how quickly the free world is backsliding into fascism.

I genuinely think this has to do with the next generation of idiots taking their place. My generation has been conditioned to roll over like punk-bitches in the face of conflict so they’re easier to exploit.

It’s literally seen as embarrassing to stand up for yourself.

A rating system like the ESRB would actually be a really good idea for helping parents control what their kids get to see.

It shouldn’t result in any sort of ban or restriction beyond what the parents are able to enforce. The big-name services will have a rating, and it’s up to parents whether or not they’ll let their kids use unrated services.

If you’re doing anything risky, then you can’t rely on a service like cloudflare.

They are 100% in bed with all of the 3 letter agencies.

If, for whatever reason, someone with power deems your website unpleasant, it will be taken down unceremoniously and any information that links it to you will be used to find and punish you.

I miss the days of southparkstudios where you could watch just about every episode of south park for free.

It got enshittified when they made a deal with hulu, of course.

I’d love a distro that combines a debian base and the rolling release model of arch.

Debian Unstable.

Back when I used ubuntu on my server, it kept telling me there were additional security updates locked behind ubuntu pro.

Not sure why a message like that would even exist on a free system that’s supposed to be secure, so I switched to Debian just to avoid the abusive/corporate nonsense altogether.

Couldn’t be happier.

Stuff like that is a major reason why I switched to Debian on my servers.

The abusive bullshit needs to stop.
