Red Ventures [a private equity-backed marketing firm that owns CNET] has applied a ruthless SEO strategy to its slate of outlets, which also includes The Points Guy, Healthline, and Bankrate.

Whoa, how did my search engine blocklist end up in a Verge article?

We’re not going to change it back, because this is a sexually explicit game, and also fuck them.

Now, this is a message I can get behind.

konsole is low-key a great terminal. It's really snappy, supports ligatures, and looks good. It's one of my favorite KDE applications and the one I miss most when it's not available.

The first line is Marx, but the rest is Adam Smith. Book 1, Chapter 6 of Wealth of Nations.

As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce. The wood of the forest, the grass of the field, and all the natural fruits of the earth, which, when land was in common, cost the labourer only the trouble of gathering them, come, even to him, to have an additional price fixed upon them. He must then pay for the licence to gather them; and must give up to the landlord a portion of what his labour either collects or produces. This portion, or, what comes to the same thing, the price of this portion, constitutes the rent of land, and in the price of the greater part of commodities makes a third component part.

That doesn't look like contradictory information to me.

Here's a slide describing how depressions are represented, and here is a topographical map of a sinkhole showing the hashes.

That said, I had to look pretty hard for a map with those marks. Numbers are much more common.

Close, its Danny Devito smacking Nate Mooney with a 2x4.

Its a scene from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Have you considered the possibility that you're replicants?

"Starting a game over" is an interesting phrase. I know exactly what it means, but the words themselves are nonsense.

IIRC these rolling DOS attacks started before the most recent defed, though. They've been happening for a while.

Significant Figures: am I a joke to you?

They've certainly become a lot more...

Nope, not gonna do it.

So that's why Quetzalcoatlus stopped texting me back.

It's from Morrowind, released 2002.

Interesting. I set an adblocking dns via DHCP and, as far as I know, the Roku respects it. Ads are blocked and I can see it failing to delivery telemetry in my dns logs (most persistent thing on the network).

I set a rule to catch outside dns to see if anything, the roku included, has been misbehaving.

We did a "bring your dog to work day" at my workplace and this is pretty much how it went. By noon, all the dog-bringers had taken their pets home.

Lemmy, itself, more or less has no rules, but individual instances do and links may violate some of them. More importantly though, publicly linking directories like that can be a good way for them to catch the attention of someone that would want to shut them down.

Edit: I accidentally a word

I Nerevar would have guessed.

That tends to be how things develop when you're talking about systems. There's not a cackling Bad Guy engineering these things, but a system of socioeconomic carrots and sticks that, right now, favor exploitation. Schools and education happen within that incentive structure so its natural that they would take on it's characteristics.
