There are these things called batteries, and they don't have to be made from Lithium.
Also, you could take it literally and burn wood to harness the warm energy surrounding it on a winter night.
It's kinda weird how the roles are reversed. From my experience, geese are just assholes to anything that walks by that isn't a goose. Eagles tend to keep to themselves in the remote parts of the world.
That being said, they are both majestic birds and it sucks that the bald eagle is practically a symbol of hate and dominance at this point.
If Betterbird is giving that notice, I wonder if this means that all forks of Firefox will also be affected in that same way.
Total pricks.
Thank you sir, may I have another. Harder this time, daddy.
Can we just get an uncut video from each angle? Better yet, give me a comp of each angle onscreen at the same time, no cuts.
It's an awesome thing, Blue Ghost, but this video is too TikTok for me. Gimme raw data.
I'd like to have audio from the craft itself if it exists, instead of a royalty free cinema-psychology-emotion-symphony track.
I got my Kobo eReader literally days ago, phew
I block everything spotify, so I have no idea what's on the playlist. From the comments, it seems like punk. Does it have to be punk?
This stuff is more anti-fascist/anti-authoritarian rather than specifically anti-Nazi. Practically same difference if you ask me.
Rock/Metal:
- Protest the Hero - A Life Embossed
- Most of their stuff is related to the band name
- Rage Against the Machine
- Self explanatory, I don't think you need any links
- The Ocean - Metaphysics of the Hangman
- System of a Down - F**k the System
- Obviously practically everything they've down speaks out against the system. Too bad their drummer became a Trumper, though...
- TOOL - Opiate^2
Hip Hop:
- N.W.A. - Fuck the Police
- Anderson.Paak - 6 Summers
- Run the Jewels - Close Your Eyes (and Count to Fuck)
- Killer Mike is a huge proponent for killing your masters in all his music
- Immortal Technique - 4th Branch
- Practically everything he's done is very anti-motherfuckers
- Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us
- It's a diss track against Drake, but it covers more than just him IMO. Also, the album "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers" is mostly anti-motherfuckers.
If only there was some sort of invisible power we could harness from a large ball of fire 🤔
lmao, yes. I would love to see the "Angrimaniacs" version.
If other countries decide to bomb or invade us, please start with the south east
Unfortunately, nothing. Always comes from different instances for me. Whack-a-mole
It's so hot, imgur is at capacity and only returns json
This. NameCheap actually responds to abuse reports, as well. Turns out they actually think it's bad for business to allow grifters and con artists to use their services, unlike other major registrars.
though it’s unclear what the U.S. would receive in return.
Trump already got what he wanted, what even is this statement?
People that can see and think for themselves.
Note: this excludes a massive portion of US citizens.
Can we start a community in a National Forest somewhere? Since doge fired most of the national park rangers, we shouldn't have too much trouble and can guarantee that at least that particular area stays clear of garbage and deforesting.
To Note
First, take all this with a grain of salt. Although I'm a systems engineer, I am not an expert in browser fingerprinting.
Most of the data on that page is to fine-tune your anti-fingerprinting setup, but understand that fingerprinting is a fairly new, deeeeeeep, and confusing topic. This is why I mention to use both EFF's tool and CreepJS. EFF's tool is a little more generic and doesn't go super far into the weeds. CreepJS takes extra steps to try and guess if the browser is lying or attempting to skirt around fingerprinting in some ways.
Just remember that anything you add to your browser (like extensions) and some settings will only serve to make you more unique. For instance, using lesser-known browsers means there are less people to be lumped in with, so you look more unique to the broader scope of internet users. There are many other factors as well (as seen in CreepJS) like the viewport resolution, your GPU, and how much access your browser has to your system. For instance, when I use a browser installed via Flatpak on my Linux machine, CreepJS can't figure out what my GPU is. If I use a browser installed by my distro's package manager, it can see a lot more about the hardware of my system.
Before I get into some things to pay attention to in CreepJS, one of the best things you can do to help stop tracking is to install and utilize the NoScript extension to stop JavaScript dead in its tracks. Sites will break, but you will start to understand just how endemic the issue of overbloated tracking is out there in the wide web. Also note, this is not the end-all solution, as fingerprinting doesn't just rely on JavaScript.
CreepJS info
To keep it simple, I would pay attention to the stuff at the top of the page, like:
FP (fingerprint) ID
This is an ID that gets assigned to the session/browser by CreepJS. Some times it changes after clearing cookies and what not. Other times it never changes. However, this is not telling of whether or not you have been uniquely identified, you need to consider other info on the page.
Visits
This is a count of how many times this particular FP ID has visited/refreshed the CreepJS page. The higher the count, the more you look like others (i.e., the less you unique you are, good thing). When I use Mullvad's Browser+VPN installed via Flatpak, this count is way up there, almost touching 1000 visits. When I use LibreWolf with the same VPN, the count is only 3 and they are all me.
First
This is the date of the first time this FP ID visited CreepJS. If your visits count is high, and this date is several weeks ago, there's a good chance you're being lumped in with other people. However, if this date along with the Visits count match up to you using CreepJS, then you have definitely been uniquely identified.
Information under the Worker heading
This info is about the hardware of your computer. The less it shows, the better. Windows will pretty much always show you everything, but it gets muddier with Linux distros. For instance, with the Mullvad Browser+VPN example, it only tells me I'm running Linux_x86_64, which is incredibly generic. No other info shows up. In LibreWolf, though, it tells me a lot more about my system and includes some GPU information.
The rest of the data
If you're that kind of person, I would peruse the CreepJS documentation (link on the site) and read more about what's going on. There's a lot of factors involved, and admittedly I don't have a full grasp of every detail. I only know what I know from reading and running my own testing on various machines.

I love their face masks.
Also, if you're curious about this sort of thing, the guitar and bass are made by Maton (Australian).
I used to really like James Blake, then I came across this video...
Why? He had some pretty awesome videos back in the day that he did pretty much all himself, especially the Limit To Your Love video with the weird practical fx.
This is his latest vid... I'm very sad. He didn't even call it out in the vid description.
Gogol Bordello - Start Wearing Purple (1999)
From the (Ukrainian) frontman, Eugene Hutz:
"It's one of the very few songs I wrote for a girl. I just moved in with my girlfriend in New York. We had a neighbour: an old woman who was always dressed in purple head to toe. She was clearly bonkers. So whenever my girlfriend and I had an argument and she would start screaming at me, I would say: you might as well start wearing purple now."

Who is daily driving the Steam Deck?
In the interest of grabbing data points to plan for some tools for you all, I'm curious what the ratio of users are around here.
How many of y'all are strictly Game mode users, and how many of y'all use it like a laptop?
A lot of what I do on the Deck requires Desktop mode, mainly to get at a terminal and to configure Steam for pirated games. However, that doesn't mean I couldn't devise a tool that launches from Game mode to do the same things.
I suspect the latter is going to end up being something that I need to build to be the most useful to a wider audience, but for being pirates I'm sure most of you have entered Desktop mode numerous times for one reason or another.
FitGirl Downloader
Just found this place, I dig it! I do gamedev on my Steam Deck, and I'm also a systems engineer. I have a repository of all sorts of Arch based things for pirates that are somewhat specific to Steam Deck ('cause Valve does some weird shit in the name of convenience, but I get it, people don't buy this machine to be a laptop like I did).
Any who, now that I've found this place I may put together more of my scripts into an easier to digest format and throw it up on Codeberg or something.
For now, I'll point you all towards a tool that I found on GitHub. I have a fork that I wrapped with a bash script to make life easier when it comes to grabbing FitGirl repacks. I've made a Pull Request to get it merged into the original repository, but my fork will probably be kept up to date more frequently (I don't know the original maintainer).

Looking for you in my flashlight, I'm searching

Conjure me as a child
Slipping down a wet side
Stretch up, I cannot reach him
Jumping up, they drag him from the water
I watch them march him into life
I watch them take him from the pain
Into the sky for your eagle eye
The sun seeds a sickle and a scythe

Ridicule they won't allow
Quench abuse and let love flower
Rip the cage out of your chest
Let the chaos rule the rest
Show without showing
What you know without knowing
Twigs snap, I catch
No canoe, only you and me
Alone on the old teal sea

Dissolving who we are
Call out for yesterday's destiny gone
We're on a foreign shore
It was the mark of falling
I was the car still running
And when you call I'll be your shield for lif
Thrice - All the World is Mad (2009)
We are saints made of plaster, our laughter is canned
We are demons that hide in the mirror
But the blood on our hands
Paints a picture exceedingly clear
.
We are brimming with cumbersome, murderous greed
And malevolence deep and profound.
We do unspeakable deeds
Does our wickedness know any bounds?
.
Something’s gone terribly wrong
With everyone
All the world is mad
Darkness brings terrible things
The sun is gone
What vanity! Our sad, wretched fires
.
We can’t medicate man to perfection again
We can’t legislate peace in our hearts
We can’t educate sin from our souls
It’s been there from the start
.
But the blind lead the blind into bottomless pits
Still we smile and deny that we’re cursed
But of all our iniquities
Ignorance may be the worst
.
Something’s gone terribly wrong
With everyone
All the world is mad
Darkness brings terrible things
The sun is gone
What vanity! Our sad, wretched fire

Seeking refuge with my northern friends
Hiya,
Depressed southern neighbor here looking for some advice. I'm sure you can guess where I'm going with this, so let's not mince words: what's some advice on getting to the Vancouver area, obtaining a visa, and a job, etc.? I'm not really looking for nitty gritty details on legal processes and what not, I can find that info documented in various places online (unless you just have a really good link chocked full of info for me). I'm more so looking for some insight from the denizens of the area that know it well.
I'm a millenial that's been in tech my whole life. I know it's a massive field, but because I've been on linux terminals since I was a wee lad I know how to do... well almost everything that has a job title for it and even at an older age I can pickup new languages and systems with relative ease. Besides that, I'm also an electrician, mechanic, and musician. I've been loosely looking for jobs, but so far what I've seen seems to be in the city and I need to refine my
