My hands are now unspeakably filthy as filthy people following the signs have accumulated a ton of germs on this handle. I get sick.

Do you normally get sick when you touch a bathroom door handle? It’s not like people choose not to wash their hands because there’s a separate handle for it.

Linux machines don’t crash unexpectedly, because if they do, it’s your fault for configuring it wrong and you should have expected it.

I’d say option 3. Personally, I don’t care if random websites get my IP among a list of hundreds of others, and if someone wants to keep their IP hidden from strangers, they should be using a VPN before browsing the net anyways. It’d also be nice not to have to open another instance when I come to a post with a broken image that I want to see, but that’s not hugely important to me.

If it were an instance specifically for privacy enthusiasts, that’d be a different story, but this is a general-purpose instance, and option 3 seems to be what’s best for both general users and the server itself.

Yeah, me neither. The place looks like it might have been cool when I was a kid, though.

It got reuploaded here, didn’t it?

Yes. I believe this is what the SCP committee would call a memetic hazard.

Don’t worry, Mr. Mofu, I’ve got this argument covered for you. Ahem…

Well, to be fair, “Why can’t websites just remember that I said no to cookies?”

I hope not. I like my relevant xkcds.

Exactly as ordered. Good job, private.

My expectation was that one might rotate an equine on an axis other than yaw.

I’ve been blocking political communities, so I don’t get so much of this. I would recommend you also block communities that annoy you. We’re in the same boat of browsing by top X hours.

Solarpunk doesn’t really bug me though because it’s (supposed to be) more about the good that could be rather than complaining about what is. (Don’t get me wrong, complaints can be valid, but that’s not what I come to Lemmy for.)

Which also requires effort.

Yeah, I know. But “what does greek mythology say about using windows” would have been less funny.

If by that you mean connected my computer account to a Microsoft account, nope, I did no such thing.

That’s weird. I don’t get the prompt at all, but I do have a button in the lower left corner that says “Sign In.” Maybe it’s because I’m on Windows 11?
