If your list of enemies includes the ADL, then there’s a more-than-reasonable chance that you’re an anti-semite.

Likewise if your loudest defenders are, themselves, loud and proud anti-semites.

I'm a total browser slut.

At work, I use Firefox as my main browser. I had been using Edge to access the Chromium rendering engine, but I've recently switched over to Arc.

At home, I recently exchanged Safari for Orion and Edge for Arc, with Firefox for when I work from home.

I used to have Opera installed for times when a VPN came in handy.

All on Mac

Do either of them support forwarding messages from another domain? I’ve worked places that blocked my personal email, so I’ve mostly used Gmail to forward my personal domain.

I maintain a number of Drupal websites as part of my job. Our stakeholders have varying degrees of familiarity with the ins and outs of computing.

A few months ago I got a ticket from one of our stakeholders. Apparently PDF files were broken across large swathes of their site. What happened was Red Hat pushed through an update to apache that closed some security loopholes. As an unexpected side effect, it also meant that any files being served from Drupal's private file system would break if the files contained spaces in the names. No rewrite rules seemed to fix the issue; we ended up having to go into the rendered HTML and replace all the spaces in the links with '+' signs. They are now told to make sure future files have underscores instead of spaces in the filename.

So yes, in some cases you still need to use _ (or some sort of non-space character) in file names, even today.

I cant imagine how many accessories will be rendered useless or at least inconvenient to use after this change. Probably gonna be an ewaste disaster.

On the upside, everyone in this thread bitching about Apple hanging on to Lightning for all these years will have something new to hate them for, thus maintaining balance in the universe.

My first exposure to Ween was picking up a CD of Pure Guava when Push Th' Little Daisies was taking over modern rock radio. I gave it a single spin and then ran away from Ween for the better part of 15 years or so. Quebec is the album that brought me back into the fold.

TBH I prefer the cohesiveness of The Mollusk but there are some astoundingly good songs on Quebec, even more if you fold the Caesar demos into the mix. I would have loved for a full-throated Ooh Va Lah on the album.

 

1 main, 1 alt, and a throwaway. 5, 5 and 3 years, with 14K karma between them. I wasn't a power user, but I wasn't exactly casual.

I had some great conversations, I had a lot of fun, I met the woman I love on Reddit. But it's clear that we're not users to them, we're just free content to be monetized so Reddit can boost their IPO. That doesn't interest me.

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my posts and then delete them. I'll keep the accounts around until I'm sure u/spez or one of his minions don't edit them back but I'm done. There's no going back, only forward.

Feels good.

I started to type out a huge, involved comment, but I don’t want to come across like mirror-world Patrick Bateman, so I’ll just say here: Genesis. 1970-1976 and 1978-1998 were almost like two completely different bands.
