It’s an Ethernet port. For some reason Apple decided <···> is the glyph to use for that.

I’m pretty sure that’s the telephone number of a flat in Islington where I once went to a party…

AMD and Intel are well-matched competitors right now except for AMD having some money.

Vacuuming is too out of character, you need to get under the sink and do some plumbing.

EDIT: Scratch that, I just remembered Luigi’s Mansion. Vacuuming is canon after all!

How many times the cost of a comparably-sized Trojan TV did that run you?

One of the students’ names who did this was in the non-paywalled chunk of the article. A news search for that name brings up a ton of links about the story.

Nintendo is trying to protect their number one Mario drawer.

Even before the flood of AI bullshit Fiverr really, really sucked for the human artists, creatives, coders, and other freelancers employed through the platform.

Which ultimately makes being a passionate Rockstar fan a weirder and weirder choice.

I wasn’t expecting the perspective of an online game cheater on this to be so interesting, but that was really very interesting. Thanks for sharing it.

Does anyone really post anything to Dailymotion besides blatantly unauthorized TV stuff? I can’t imagine it’d be very good vibes for anyone trying to make an honest living with original content over there.

And in the modern era there’s generally no practical reason to use “u” for “you” and so forth anymore, and doing so just makes you seem weirdly lazy, elderly, childish, and really out of touch all at once.

So they’re fine apart from the people doing the work, and the people directing that work?

The most confusing thing about this video linked from the article is the fact that they felt the need to censor out Harris’ US flag pin while leaving Trump’s alone.

Who do you feel you’re “showing” anything with a protest vote?

Protesting in the street works by showing the people in view that you’re there in protest of a thing. However the viewer feels about you, the issue, or the concept of protesting, the fact that you’re there doing it in that moment is public and undeniable. Protest votes, on the other hand, are a blip of mostly-invisible data that just get silently decoupled from the process and filed away once their irrelevance to the result is established. The election system, fucked and in need of reform as it is, has that built-in mechanism for quietly doing nothing in real life with your protest vote, and the system is certainly not going to be subverted or reformed at all by your having done it.

If that protest vote is the only means by which you’re hoping to accomplish anything on Election Day, I’m still not sure I understand why one would bother.

I’m asking you how, specifically, a protest vote and a strategic vote are any different in terms of perpetuating the shitty system currently in place.

This thread, specifically this comment, is telling you you should vote for alternative parties at state and local levels. The idea is to build up that third party’s actual presence in government from the ground up, which is a far superior strategy to splitting a critical presidential race and feeling like you’ve accomplished anything good.
