Gender Identity, now with linear algebra. Those 3b1b videos are going to be super useful, but not in the way the author intended.

Better than having your gender datatype being a Bobool3ol and evaluating to “Tru(🍒🎂🍒)lse”.

Or remind people of the horrible specter that polio was, and the shadow it cast over society at the time. People lived in constant dread of catching something that could leave them physically ruined, and even wheelchair bound for the rest of their lives back then.

Covid, in its early strains, had the potential to leave you hospitalized and drowning in your own lungs for weeks as it ran its course. Granted, that’s not polio levels of bad… But that’s still weeks of hell, and several more years of hospital billing hell that I would like to avoid.

Weighing those outcomes, I opted for early access to the vaccine. Even though it was more to minimize the risk of an expensive hospital stay.

We are all Spartacus on this blessed day.

Man, now I want a GBA emulator for my phone so I can play those Pokémon games again.

This raises a more interesting question. How many copies of DOOM have been sold in the Vatican?

Definitely, you don’t need a VPN. If you’re really worried about your first hop traffic standing out or being blocked, use the obfs4 bridges.

To me, the term “Web3 games” sounds like they’re trying to make a knockoff of Cookie Clicker with NFTs.

Fine, Oracle’s cloud it is then.

Time for some F12 fuckery to re-enable those buttons. Worst case scenario, there’s some extra serverside checks that make the page say no somewhere else.

The sponsor segments in GrayStillPlays’ videos are the only ones I remember, mostly because he ran the sponsor merch over with a lawnmower.

I doubt that for two reasons:

• There’s no non-admin way for an app to discern if it’s a firewall block, or a legitimate no-internet situation (i.e. didn’t purchase in-flight WiFi). It would also look really bad PR-wise if a company banned customers just because their internet went down or was otherwise spotty.

• How would they even know? Their software can’t tattle on me if it’s been blocked from establishing a connection.

Thankfully I don’t do anything that requires me to have Photoshop, but if I did, I’d be explicitly blocking all outbound connections in the firewall.
