Crypto fanatics flock to Trump, hoping to ‘make bitcoin great again’
Makes sense, considering cryptobros seem to want "get rich easy" and the orange dumpster fire certainly panders to that demographic.

As a man, this makes me feel like you need to be slapped upside the head.

Is there a way to disable the "Restart to Keep Using Firefox" page?
Hamburger menu -> Settings -> General -> "Firefox Updates" -> "check for updates but let you choose to install them"
As for losing open tabs, there're a few different extensions that'll allow you to bookmark all open tabs and throw 'em in a folder. Easy enough to do that before updating, then just delete the folder that's created via the bookmarks manager once you've updated/reopened tabs.

"Even bad publicity is good publicity". People ought to remember this, and simply STFU about the people in the world that really dont deserve a spotlight.

It could soon be illegal to publicly wear a mask for health reasons in NC
"For health reasons" - if that's what they choose to enforce, well then... looks like every day just became Halloween.
"No officer, Im not wearing this Ronald Reagan mask for my health, I'm celebrating Halloween" "Yes, officer, in May".

Why so many men like to play with a female character?
As probably a generic "dude" as one can be, I like playing female characters because it gives me a chance to be someone I'm not. I play games to remove myself from the real world for a bit, and playing a male character feels too much like self-insertion.
It's weird, but being forced into playing from a "self" perspective I find to be less enjoyable. I like being told a story, and getting to participate in it, but I dont like when the story feels like it's supposed to be about myself, rather than a character.

Should the Harris campaign co-opt this t-shirt?
Politicians should focus on why we should elect them rather than why we shouldn't elect the other guy. This middle-school clique politicking has been incredibly detrimental, and the longer it goes on, the worse things will get. The whole "get a message out in 3 seconds" aspect is partly to blame, and we as citizens need to own up to the fact that we collectively are responsible for this crap, as our habits have indicated that we dont want "long form" even when something like that is important to have and to be able to accurately convey information.

Plasma 6.1: The BEST LINUX DESKTOP
At least it's not one of those stupid "reaction face" thumbnails. A clickbait title is easy enough to parse as "not worth my time" but those punchable face thumbnails? Fuck me, the person that started that trend needs to find the nearest running belt sander and start licking.

Linux Gaming PC 2024 (with Coreboot-Support)?
Might want to reconsider the mobo/cpu choice, given the current situation with Intel chips failing at a pretty high rate.

Would you pay to quit TikTok and Instagram? You’d be surprised how many would
Short form content annoys the shit out of me, and Facebook was turned to shit long before instagram was a thing. But I'll gladly say "Yeah, Im addicted please pay me to quit" if the money is right.
-edit- On second glance, the article is actually talking about us paying to avoid those services ... like... a fee to NOT have them. That's pretty fucked up, and whomever thought of the idea of paying for non-service needs to be slapped upside the head with their grandma's sandal.

The Russian state spends $10,000,000 to make the worst RPG of 2024
A 38 minute video... and you can't even tell us the name of the game? For fuck's sake, there used to be ettiquette to link sharing. A one-liner about what it is must be beyond the 3 second attention span these types have...

Americans, how do you feel about being stored in a database by government agencies like the NSA?
Better buckle up Buttercup, because "being in a database" is a reality. Thanks to data breaches such as Equifax, pretty much every US citizen and all their important details are available in numerous databases.
We willingly purchase devices that listen and watch our every move... to be added to private, corporate databases that get sold around like cheap prostitutes. At least with government databases, voting gives at least a teeny, tiny modicum of control.
And even better, while I cant name specific breaches in relation to global populations, it's a safe bet most everyone else is compromised as well.
On the bright side, at least it makes random identity theft occurring to any one particular individual akin to winning the PowerBall.

YSK: You don't need Gmail to create a Google account

No real harm, but it's one more account to manage/worry about.
Flipside is that relying on a singular account is also bad, as now it's a single point of failure in regards to security.

After the Beans sold out to corporatize and join the "cheap shit from overseas" party, their name has lost a lot of meaning. It's good to see the OG family being philanthropic, but that doesn't negate them selling out.

Mozilla Acquires Anonym, Pioneering Privacy in Digital Ads
So how long until our options in dodging the endless waves of shitty ads have completely gone? Sure, there might not be indication of it now, but it's probably a safe bet that Mozilla will try and pull some of the same shit Brave did in regards to ads/adblocking.
Thank fuck the internet as a whole is getting so shitty to the point it encourages us to go do something else. Turns out that avoiding the internet as a whole results in feeling a hell of a lot better about things in general.

Biden gives residency to undocumented spouses of US citizens
While I don't agree with illegal immigration, it's good to see that at least the ones that have kept their head down, contributed to society and community, and have essentially made themselves part of us at least have the option to make it official without having to split up their family in the meantime.

Gladiator II will have some of the biggest action sequences ever put on film, as claimed by Paramount Exec
Ok, but will it have an engaging storyline and characters that develop over time that we care about? Or is it just a money-grabbing, unoriginal garbage sequel like most of everything put out lately?

Blood can also be used as a substitute in baking. Pretty sure it's in lieu of eggs. Not curious enough to ruin a perfectly good batch of brownies though :(
