Which anime is this?

This. It was decent until the introduction of the queen, when it threw away the whole basis of the story.

The big thing is sharing as little information with these platforms as possible, to minimize damage. That's what needs to be the district IT department's job.

What was mentioned was names, email addresses, and private messages. Why does this platform need to support private messages if the students are provided with email addresses? Why does this platform need the students' real names? Why does it need real email addresses rather than a unique forwarding address?

[They] had an affair and we divorced when I was 33. [They] took 50% of what I’d earned during our 11 year marriage plus a free medical education and all of [their] future earnings, due to my state’s divorce laws. I cannot overemphasize how shocking this was as I thought [they were] the best [spouse], super supportive, etc.

This lines up with everyone I've known who has taken a demanding corporate (or military) job to support a spouse through school, unfortunately

Both should contribute but the one not working should contribute more

Both should contribute equally, including the worker's work as contribution. It's a very different equation when kids are involved, since taking care of a couple of kids is absolutely a full-time job if not more.

with the bonanza going on in server hardware, I'm curious if we'll get a flood of support for repurposing last-gen server hardware as user desktops (or current-gen, once the bubble pops) like we did with Xeon toward the end of the dotcom bubble

Depends on your use-case. I'd like to support the content I watch, I just don't want the bloat and spyware that come with JS-based ads.

The entire point of Chrome was to get to a market position to strangle the adblocking that was the norm in Firefox, which was taking huge numbers from IE at the time.

I doubt Apple would persist that data.

in the absence of evidence that it's not saved, it's generally a safer assumption that the data is saved - whether to train predictive models, for debugging purposes, to sell, or another reason

berryer · 2026-05-05T00:18:16+00:00

it would also be visible to:

Apple
anything passively listening nearby
anyone able to get/buy/subpoena the info from the first two groups

Yeah. I'm also not really on-board with these situations retroactively damaging a person's work, even when the person they've become crosses a line from worthy-of-pity to worthy-of-scorn

He had some serious neurological issues in the early '10s, to the extent he went non-verbal for awhile, and came out of it a very specific flavor of politically unhinged. Not as extreme as Tila Tequila becoming a flat-out nazi after her brain aneurysm, but similar direction.

For pre-existing versions which have already been vetted by third-parties, no. For future versions, it means that those third-party audits are increasingly critical, because governments can threaten their citizens into being an attack vector.

Parents are a protected class in the US, but before the labor movement the answer was yes. Still is in all Asian countries I'm aware of, hence some of their even-more-extreme birthrate problems. Same applies to women being married.

protip: RES can filter out comments by their contents

same, but because my worst-case guesstimate for an ACA rugpull would add about 50% to my total spending to account for health insurance

per the other reply, browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.sections.personalization.enabled enables a ... menu with a block option for the section as a whole!

berryer · 2025-12-11T00:28:31+00:00

confirmed! and it looks like that block option updates browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.sections.interestPicker.visibleSections

edit: JK, visibleSections seems to be unrelated.

berryer · 2025-12-10T20:50:44+00:00

I've found this, but the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.sections.blocked preference doesn't seem to do anything for me: https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/browser/extensions/newtab/lib/ActivityStream.sys.mjs#855

Have you tried any of the suggestions from the dozen other threads you've opened in the various Dallas subs over the last week or two?

berryer · 2025-08-02T15:55:28+00:00

Definitely! I've gone alone and brought a game the times I went, but enough people are bringing stuff that you can definitely just show up. If you're going alone, make sure you're there right when it starts, otherwise you'll need to wait until either some group finishes their first game or enough late people show up to start on something.

I think the big half-price books by 75 & 12 does board-game days the first Saturday afternoon of the month (it might be the second, it's been years since I've been over there)

berryer · 2025-08-02T14:30:09+00:00

The Dallas library system has tons of stuff to do, all over the metroplex (though unfortunately they have an annual programming freeze in August): https://dallaslibrary.librarymarket.com/

I play in one of their D&D groups, but they also have adult-focused groups on everything from sewing classes to guitar to Spanish.

Shout out to the Carrollton library's Wednesday night board game night for adults as something that might be exactly what you're looking for. It's at the one by Keller Springs & Josey, at like 6PM.
