  • Ok, ill bite.

    Was reluctantly on Hinge a while back (was 31M at the time). My sibilings twisted my arm to make a profile and helped design it (I dont take pictures of myself so it was challanging to make). Overall expirence was negative to neutral, over ~2 years of minimal useage just to the profile active, threw 15$ at the app to see if it changed the algorithm (it does). IIRC ~12 replies, 3 first dates/meet-ups and 0 second dates. Cant say I put a ton of effort It so I wont lose sleep over anything.

    The shocking part of the whole thing was compairing results with my sister. She functionally did not need to go to the default feed, dozens if not hundreds of contact requests... We had a joke back when she was in college that if she felt like it, she would never have to pay for a dinner (obviosuly that would be a dick move, and she never took advantage of anyone, but the data was there).

    Once it became obvious that the platform was full of bots, dumby accounts, and was noticably trying to prey on desperate people with credit cards, I just moved on. Over all advice, if you find an app thats very new and not owned by match group, go for it, you will likely meet people earnestly trying to make connections. Otherwise, dont bother, go find a date the old fashioned way, outside.

  • For reference:

  • Um... Luxembourg? You ok bro?

    (Source the map plz, but ill get in on the ground floor for memes)

  • Honestly, something I would like to take a crack at, but fearing getting my domain black-listed has prevented me from attempting it.

    If the wizard wishes to share their wisdom, im all ears.

    Ill add it to the goals for 2026.

  • Look... If this was ancient Rome, that was politically fine, so long as you were on top.

  • They have a point, you have one chance to get your self-hosted emails config correct. If you fail or mess up somewhere your domain will get added to a bunch of anti-spam lists that major providors use and cross-reference. If that happens your domain will just be branded as spam and will never be able to effectivly use your fancy service email.

    • BEANS, CORN, ONION

    Our memes feel very old internet and I miss those times.

  • Its the secret to cooking for guests. Everyone is like "wow, your an amazing home-chef", and im just hoping noone notices the entire diced onion and minced garlic I carelessly threw into the meal.

  • My head canon is that Whoville is in a post-apocalypse type setting that has had multiple "end of the world" events, such as the people living in Caves of Qud. Couple of grey goo incidents could have made a world like that.

  • The latest patch reduced the file size dramaticly, so it runs a lot better.

    And as stated by others, for best expirence, play with friends, sweaty players tend to bounce off it as there is no rankings or ratings and global progress is slow. Have fun, Freedom and managed-democracy await your support.

  • Yep, thats corporate monitoring software for you. Everyones got it, if you dont see it, assume its there. If the PC is not yours and or built with your own hands, assume its bugged or key logged. This goes for school PCs as well for the youngins, this is not to make people paranoid, just manage expectations on privacy. If you didnt make it, assume its recorded.

  • You know you can stand up your own Matrix-Synapse server as part of your home lab, its the "we have Telegram at home" answer.

  • Like how the Tappan Zee Bridge is now the Mario M. Cuomo Sr. bridge (they rebuilt it a while back, and its not named after Governor bad touch, its named after his dad).

    CT re-did their signs, NY re-did their signs, but NJ being the spiteful bastards they are (love ya New Jersey, keep it up) still has the old Tappan Zee signs all over the place.

  • My Fluke Intelatone copper cable tracer and pin mapper. Had one as a company tool back early in my career. Bought one for myself when I moved and just carry it around in my magic bag of tricks. It is just the best at finding its other half, so much so that ive had multiple employers buy their own because I use my own and wanted me to stop using the shitty cheap ones they get off amazon.

  • But were his pants on fire?

  • No, im of the opinion that the Amsterdam model is the most ethical response (so far) to drug abuse and mental health assistance. If addiction is a factor, punishment is not a deterant (and atleast in The US, an excuse for authorities to abuse the carve-out in the 13th ammendment). Treating people as patients instead of criminals provides the most good to society.

  • WELCOME TO THE OFFICE OF SECRET INTELIGENCE SAMPSON!

    [Co. Gathers jumps out of the plane without a parachute]

  • The vikings discovered Iceland and Greenland and named them accordingly. Pranked!

  • I like that reference, im stealing it.

  • I was in the trenches for that nonsense fixing stuff daily because of them. Oracles wacky tacky shit that kept their users locked to Java 7.21 for a decade past the support date. Bloated language packs and not being able to keep up with basic HTML tags... You dont know how good yall have it today.

    I dont care how much MS dresses up Edge, we know its just Chrome in a poorly fitted suit. The old addage still holds true, Microsofts default browser (formerly IE, currently Edge) is the best browser to use to go download another browser.
