  • I watched Apocalypto for a school paper at age 15 (from a list of options given to me), and honestly I think some softcore porn would have been better. Some rated R stuff is fine for a kid to watch, Apocalypto definitely wasn’t.

    Also that same year I researched and did presentations on Chinese history (was a prehistorical to maybe a couple hundred years ago timeline) and at least in my research I covered things like the foot tying thing (to make feet smaller) and that didn’t prepare me for the scene in Marco Polo (I think on Netflix) where that happened (and I didn’t finish the episode or continue the series because it’s just too fucked up).

    Porn can be fucked up, some porn is definitely NSFL, but there are a lot of things that are so much worse than the average porn site.

    I wish they actually tried to “protect the children” but the politicians are very clearly not.




  • Google still controls the source, and so they have influence over the rest.

    It’s like Ungoogled Chromium. Sure, it’s open source. Sure, if might have Google crap removed. Google still calls the shots on the direction of the browser.

    Same still meaningfully applies to Chromium-based browsers.

    Even when I’m not active on Lemmy, I am not on Reddit.

    If I ever need information from Reddit (unfortunately there is still a lot of information only on Reddit…), Wayback machine I go.

    Even if me requesting that Wayback machine archive a page, once it’s saved we don’t need to give reddit anymore clicks, Wayback machine gets the clicks instead. It’s better than losing information outright.


  • To be fair, Apple made audio sharing an absolute nightmare. I have never gotten my remote control software audio to work on Mac and have tried multiple non-Crapple solutions.

    Discord won’t even make it as painless as possible though, and getting it set up requires downloading a third party thing now (from outside the app, before I could at least click a button inside the app).

    I totally gave up a few months ago on Discord on Mac because I was sick of booting into safe mode. I’m not sure who is to blame for this but I imagine it’s Apple.
