Can confirm. Lemmy became a lot friendlier after I blocked the worst of the permanently outraged communities and a bunch of people with extreme views.
I try to limit that to the worst cases, though, as I don’t want to drive “bubblification” too much…

I am not sure this is a dad joke…
It’s more like an anti-joke with the word “dad” somewhere in it.

Then the right question to ask Apple would be: “Why isn’t the MacBook 70€ cheaper?”
Because if it isn’t, blaming the EU law would just be a puny diversion from company greed.

Vivaldi… does that have a full uBlock addon? I thought it was based on Chrome, which doesn’t have that any more?

Firefox and Librewolf.
Firefox has it at or near top of recommendations.
Librewolf already has it preinstalled from the start, so even one step less.

You search for it? Why?
I remember it basically always being the top entry as soon as you open the browsers addon menu.

No, just part of the establishment. ;-)

Wow, reformation really hit you hard, didn’t it?

Funny thing is, this meme is so old by now, that “child” should be substituted by “parent”, as this is all completely ancient GenX/Millennial internet lingo…

Part of what you describe (sans the transfer thing) sound like the main plotline of Bladerunner.

Ah yes, sure, Begriffsassoziativitätskombinatorik.

(Yes, I just made that word up. And also yes, it makes sense and might be the word describing what you were just thinking about.)

Depends. I like it, but it lures you into lazy naming of stuff, that being especially pronounced in state administration.
And written form is hell to comprehend for dyslexics…

I think you might enjoy “The Meaning of Liff”…

It’s missing an “e” at the end…

And yes, I heard the German language is supposed to be full of such special-purpose words (and if not, we construct fitting new ones by endless concatenation)
So I guess, I am the lucky one in this thread. :-)

One a scale ranging from 1 to 10:
How high are you right now?

But you can. Just buy yourself a Burger King first. American kind of freedom…

This gives me some hope. Maybe the connection to actual violence is weaker than I think.

Still a crazy form of behaviour, though. People regularily get killed by it (I just now read the mentioned Wikipedia article).

Who did?

Bro it’s a fucking war zone.

Wouldn’t that not be just another reason to not fire weapons randomly in populated areas?

But what you are saying is basically exactly what I am trying to get at:
War has become so much normalized in the region, that people just don’t know otherwise any more.
Quoting the somewhat fitting Cranberries song:
“In your head, they’re still fighting”.
Even while a glimmer of peace is shining across the horizon.

Just let me revel in the positive illusion for a while.
Perhaps this time it is different…
