This could be difficult to apply for such an extended period of time, but I generally have good results by just breathing exclusively through my mouth. Pretend you’re underwater and breathing through a snorkel.
This technique has gotten me through many a fart and temporary sewage/fertilizer exposure.
In the case of Star Citizen, they used to support it, but since the game is still being actively developed in the alpha stage it kept breaking. Not worth the time and money to keep fixing it, so they put it on hold. As far as I know, they still plan to support it after the main feature set is stabilized and they go into polishing mode.
But I agree, it would be great if it still/already had native support.
We are slowly turning ourselves into Krikkit.
I’m Spartacus!
That was always part of the enshittification formula. The final stage after exploiting users is to exploit business customers to the breaking point.
I’ll believe that if his plan is to unify humanity under his rule.
Your instance would only matter if it is small-scale enough that users haven’t subbed to the originating instances, if it has deliberately defederated from them, or if you are browsing by Local instead of All.
The problem is all the other people voting the wrong way with their bigger wallets.
Depends on what you’re looking for in FPS games, but Battlebit Remastered is a good time.
Hammerwatch II and Sea of Stars just in the past few weeks. En Garde not far off. The hardest part of gaming is finding the time.
It could depend on time-of-day browsing habits. I’ve noticed NSFW stuff tends to appear more during the night time for the US and Europe. It’s still a small minority of posts overall, though, and I don’t click them enough to observe any trend in proportion of hentai in particular.
Viewing the images directly sounds to me like a different context. Browsing the images is more akin to end user activity, i.e. using the server for its intended purpose. Managing the server is more like making sure it’s running, that there is enough space allocated, security holes are plugged, software is up-to-date, etc. Administrative tasks. When wearing the admin hat, there wouldn’t usually be much of a need to actually look at the photos - you’d be more concerned with file names and metadata, not contents. In that context, the GUI becomes less important. And if you ever do need to see them, you can always fire up the GUI software for that occasional situation.
I saw someone posit that he might have a humiliation fetish. It’s the only explanation I’ve seen that seems rational.
Sounds like the full article may be valuable to you then. From the article: “If you have a hundred thoughts pass through your mind in the space of a minute, it means you have a hundred supports for meditation.”
“How I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb.”
From reading the article, it sounds like Spotify itself doesn’t get directly affected. Instead, the record companies and advertisers are upset. The record companies, because the shared pool of royalties that gets paid out is now getting split with white noise creators, leaving them a smaller share of the pie. The advertisers, because most people listening to white noise are using it to fall asleep or just keeping it on in the background, and therefore nobody will be listening/paying attention when the ads come on.
Tough titties for them, you may say, but if they don’t like it, they may take their respective balls and go home. That would seriously impact Spotify, since without the music, most users will quickly lose interest, and the advertisers are a large part of their revenue stream. If they don’t do something, they could end being a streaming service predominantly for white noise, which would be far less profitable.
It should also be taken into account that a lot of the white noise hits were not organic, but the result of a problem with how Spotify set up their algorithm.
It opens a separate session in the browser and prevents saving any cookies, history or other state locally when you close it. Doesn’t change a blessed thing on the other end of the connection.
He didn’t want to buy the company. So, he’s turning it into a pet project.
That’s a good point, and one that had not occurred to me. For all we know, he’s already mentally written off the $44 billion as a loss and is just having fun with it, with no expectation of success.
That would explain a lot.
Most of what we experience as taste is actually smell. It’s generally not an issue.
The trick is to not put the smelly thing inside your mouth.
