I find Blue Sky gained a lot of the artists that left Twitter. Many post freely, post commissioned works, or have a donation or subscription based platform to share work on. Discovery is ass, but many repost or comment on other artists so you can find a lot of similarly interesting creators that way.

This is the key. You are not required to engage with the rage. Block people, block communities, block instances! Curate your mood and don’t give space in it to things that will poison it.

Removes from cart

Good tip!

My favorite was when an update would change, hide, or remove a feature I had never heard of that was absolutely critical to one person’s workflow for an essential task that affected everyone, like payroll.

Where I am from local governments have disposal policies for surplus items. This can be seized property, vehicles, office supplies, and computers. Or may be worth researching how your local area handles disposal because I’ve seen pallets of computers go cheap.

That sounds more like the intended use of a hot tub.

Gives a number.

“Why is it going to take so long?”

My knowledge is limited, but I recall hearing that more seizures are caused by smells than flashing lights. Based off that single fact, perhaps the thing that was triggering you isn’t present anymore. Be that person, perfume, or otherwise.

You beautiful fucking genius! I’ve been looking at trying to get a Lemmy patch embroidered, but it was going to be like $200 for the first and it got cheaper the more I bought. Instead of doing that I can just print one out on my brothers printer instead!

Can you learn truths from fiction? Can you feel sad at a happy memory? Can you long for a person who wronged you? Can a good point he made by a bad person? Why does the source matter?

And when they doesn’t work, install a fresh copy of Windows on new hardware in a sperate location within another dimension.

I run AdGuard as an addon to Home Assistant. If you want to stick to AdGuard you can go to Settings > Client Settings and set a per-client filtering rule. There is a tab in the client settings that can be used to filter specific services with a click. Setting an IP reservation for your child’s device in the DHCP settings of Unifi or your router will help ensure the IP address stays consistent.

For the PiHole option, you don’t actually have to let the PiHole handle DHCP. You just need to tell your DHCP server what DNS server to use. For example, my router is .1 and my Raspberry PI is .2. The DHCP server, my router, tells all devices .1 is the gateway and .2 is the DNS server. You may also need to set these settings on the individual devices to prevent them from ignoring your DNS settings, but that can be done from the network settings. Avast had some safe networking “feature” that would force my DNS settings to be ignored, same with my Android phone.

Of course, the downside to all of this is that any different device, different IP, device from a friend, or mobile data could bypass these restrictions. You may soon be in an arms race with your child and chances are they can get more clever that you can in a shorter time frame.

Toss it over the curtain so that it clatters to a weird spot that is hard to miss.

I already do this on occasion, there is usually just several inches of snow on the ground when I do.

I’m going to one-up you here and suggest learning to learn. Some people can learn through long form video, some through reading, and some need to take notes and review them later.

For example, I hate all the extra fluff that goes into a written work and frequently need to delete sections until only the minimum information is there. Like deleting the first several paragraphs before a recipe actually gives you the ingredients and instructions!

When it’s bad you think “Fuck this, I can do it better by myself.”

I am not a lawyer. (IANAL)

You have a lot of legal right you may or may not choose to exercise. For example, if you have the right to own firearms they don’t issue you a firearm just because you haven’t purchased one yet.

If I recall it right, there wasn’t always the concept of a public defender who could represent someone even if they couldn’t afford a lawyer. You had to already have a lawyer in order to even use that right. This was eventually changed and resulted in the creation of public defenders.

From what I have heard, public defenders are really overworked and spread thin, so you may want to have a lawyer setup to represent you if you ever get into trouble with the law. I have also heard it’s good to know several lawyers as the one who can help you draft a will is different than the one to help you purchase real estate and the one to keep you out of jail.

Oh man, if only there was a commercially available grate solution for this exact type of location.

I’d wager that they next time they do maintenance to the road or sidewalk that spot gets fixed. So 10-30 years out, probably.

Funny enough, that might actually make the intersection MORE safe because everyone going through it will be uncomfortable and extra vigilant.
