I don’t post actual threads, but my most downvoted comment was this one that I’m quite proud of:
Debian is a joke, it is so far out of date it is unusable for anything except cave-painting or maybe a stone circle.
Ubuntu is way better.
So yeah, I’d recommend OP baits linuxmemes. I think it has more users, more touchy, less sense of humour. But you’re also less likely to get your post banned in a memes forum.
Did you try asking “Will you please downvote this?” in “nostupidquestions”.
I don’t think it’ll beat ragebait though.
Go pagers and payphones. Jump the 5.
I’m sure i read that some places prohibit treated timber going into ground if the chemicals might leech into water courses - New Zealand maybe??
Very oily wood like Cedar should last ok , but not forever.
Plywood, I’d be very skeptical about - generally the cheap stuff has no chance if it gets wet. Maybe there’s expensive magical stuff that i can’t afford.
PVC as suggested or stainless steel ground anchor or concrete fence posts would seem better.
You could consider trying to bury chicken wire if you need to keep out the burrowing creatures.
Looks like it was also getting turned into an fur scarf.
. . . puns like:
decyphering
I’m still confused though. Is it the mediocre ass-ratio that bothers you? or the censorship?
I for one will accept anything so long as it is 100% pure ass.
Yeah, I can see that from the photo.

MS is who they choose - I think its all bundled in with windows and azure and dynamics and office and that stuff. I think MS is trying to use their B2B OS deals to get some market share from AWS, so they’re probably offering cheap deals for now.
MS doesn’t allow 3rd party 2FA. They created a proprietary algorithm so no other apps can do it.
As of now, I find very few apps beneficial, convenient or time savers - maybe I’m a weirdo luddite. Most apps seem to be for pastimes anyway so saving time seems odd - I prefer to take time to savour my pastimes. I think mp3 player app, and organic maps are the real ones that I actually find useful.
But refusing GPS/microG and therefore Microsoft Authenticate will become a problem for me quite soon I think. For now a phonecall still works, but I think it’s only a matter of time. Once that goes I might have to quit my job, and will struggle to find one in my field that doesn’t require it, so I guess I’ll have to look for less skilled work or retrain, and I’m far too old for that shit. That’s where it’ll get constraining, when the tentacles of bundling enwrap and bind many other aspects of real society.
I really hope the EU keeps on at MS for bundling and other market power abuse, it seems so obvious that they’ve effectively ignored the fines from the old Internet Exploder case, and ramped up their misbehaviour regardless.
Of course the twats where I live are easily radicalised against EU regulations (or any regulations really) , so I’m probably still fucked. But at least someone needs to stand up for consumer rights and competition and keep kicking MS in the balls every time they pull their dick out to fuck consumers. Ideally kick them harder and harder too, ‘punitive damages’ are more than justified due to them being a repeat offender.
Are there any flies buzzing around?
Oh, I know full well what a fucking spad is.
I just fucking hate them collectively, individually and linguistically.
Spads.
A appropriately ugly term. It conjures images of them being cut into long chunks and deep fried in oil. Either that or some archaic, non-PC term for a person with some mental deficiencies
When something like python tries to force readability into your code without your consent?
That’s why I always use a nonsensical class structure with stupid names; it’s my chastity belt.
exactly, democracy needs checking not just because of cronyism, but the fucking morons that keep getting elected by an ever diminishing share of the population. 1997 was the last time turnout was over 70%. In most UK general elections since then, the winner has not beaten abstentions. My ‘protest’ non-vote should count.
I’d like MP voting power should be scaled down somehow by actual vote share (including abstention), for many votes - maybe not some essential ones - but with the same absolute threshold to pass a vote. You’d probably have to do that at party level to avoid under-representing some constituencies. Hardly anyone trusts these fucks so their power to fuck things up should to be limited to when even more of them agree cross-party.
As for other layers, I’d quite like some sort of randomly changing jury based tier to rule on some things with cases and evidence presented like in a court. Probably with some sort anonymity layer - where some third party only knows the identities of the jurors.
Lords should maybe be “qualified expert” level tier - but it’ll always get cronyist to some extent. That said if they’re in as a supposed expert accountant, and they don’t pay tax - they can fuck off. So the need for “expert” credentials could provide a basis for challenge. Certainly my random jury level tier could have the power to kick out lords if their credentials were challenged.
I think there should be a “equivocal” vote.
I think that’s what boost was supposed to be for, or was that just on kbin.
Down votes are useful for estimating the exactly how badly damaged the sense of humour in the community is.
We do that but also:
Then spend 15k fudging the ‘benefits realisation’ to make it look like a the users were really happy with car that only had two wheels and no engine.
