Any reason to choose Niri over Hyprland?

Thanks! I’ll check it out!

I guess that’s the only reason I’m considering trying something else, KDE is great because it’s got so many options, but also it’s got too many options you gotta mess with to get it looking just ok.

I was actually just considering trying out a different DE like Cosmic or a compositor like Hyprland, but idk if it’s just a “grass is greener” thing or not. KDE’s got a lot going on for it and switching between QT and GTK is a pain, and I’ve never used a compositor so idk what to expect.

Idk. UBlock doesn’t seem to get them on mobile.

Can’t stand those. Auto play, unclosable

Thought the same as I was reading it and wondering why they didn’t just use the commonly known CBP, but it’s probably because most people associate CBP with ICE.

Hopefully the tankies

I’m not archiving porn dude. There’s plenty more out there. It’ll be ok.

Per the linked article:

The article, which was published by High Times in February 1978

Sounds like it probably was the real guy. Ed Dwyer is listed as the founding editor for the High Times.

Nice find on that article.

I’d almost believe it at this point

I actually tried doing that the first time, but the text was garbled, which is why I ended up doing a manual transcription.

Oh thanks, I missed those spelling mistakes. Was doing this on my iPad so I didn’t catch what autocorrect messed up, and tbh I didn’t really feel like proofreading it.

Dude her mother must have been a grade A piece of shit using her daughter for her own gain like this

Yeah I need a brain cleanse after that.

Here dude… against better judgement I transcribed the whole fucking thing.

Also the author is Ed Dwyer, which through looking up his name, there was an Ed Dwyer alive and writing the same time period who is responsible for creating the High Times? So possibly the same one?

What the actual fuck. This article is repulsive. The line just under her cover page picture is fucked up, the whole article is fucked up. I hate to even have this shit attached to my profile, but I’m going to transcribe this shitty article to be best ability so ya’ll can read this shit for yourselves.

Culture Hera Brooke Shields Million-dollar jailbait: She must have been a beautiful baby because today she’s America’s most famous 12-year-old hooker. by Ed Dwyer

Article

The most perfect nymphette in all creation has been found - in America. Her name is Brooks Shields. Brooke’s hair is elegant brown and clean, her skin pale and puritan, her eyes sinfully blue and her lean body just starting to curve into womanhood. She’s a sultry mix of all-American virgin and nascent whore. She’s the hottest new young thing in movies since a smoldering preteen named ElizabethTaylor stiffened up Louie Mayer’s cigar. She is only 12 years old and destined to be the sex symbol of 1984. In Louise Malle’s steamy Pretty Baby, Brooke is Violet, a baby prostitute raise to the chicken trade by her hooker mother (Susan Sarandon). The Frenchman’s film centers on the bordello in the old Storyville district of New Orleans, where Violet lives. The year is 1967, and smack in the middle of that red-light area, bubblin’ with sin, smoke and jazz, crows and female child raise on a diet of cock money. Patrician Brooke is devastating as a little lady who fucks and sucks for bucks. She eases like a vegan through moods that alternate between vulnerable, hot, angelic, mocking and sinful. She seduces both Keith Carradine and the camera in erotic scenes guaranteed to remain sensational for years. Brooke took to Violet’s story like a white takes to champagne. What’s more, is is intoxicating to watch.

Brooke Shields is a sultry mix of all-American virgin and whore.

Brooke’s looks have been her business all her young life. Extraordinarily beautiful even as an infant, Brooke was immediately steered by her mother, ex-model Terri Shields, into a modeling career. Her huge portfolio includes stints as the Ivory baby, a Breck girl, a Colgate kid, plus scads of cover-girl appearances in both women’s and family magazines. She’s been playing the prepubescent vamp since she was eight. At that tender age, she dropped her Garters(?) for a photographer and posed nude. Later she camped it up suggestively in full Victorian bimbo rig - garter belt, silk stockings, high heels. Brooke became a favorite subject for premier photographers like Avedon and Scavullo. By day she was the face that sold, at night she was the princess of wet dreams. Her torrid freshness became an underground legend among the talent set. Producers literally held their breaths, waiting for the remarkable Brooke Sheilds to reach a reasonable age of fuckability, not yet legal but oh so sweet. Welcome to the end of innocence Brookie. Now with Pretty Baby done, Brooke is being flooded with movie proposals. So far, she’s been inked to play the teenage Lucretia Borgia in an upcoming period thriller. And she is slated to star as the tormented young murderess in Alfred Sole’s Communion. By law she’s not permitted to expose her endearing young charms in a magazine until she’s 18. Nevertheless, Brooke recently posed starkers for a lavish Penthouse pictorial spread. Brooke is the first serious actress to violate the preteen sex taboo. Unlike pugnacious Jodie Foster or puerile Tatum O’Neal, she’s the delicious stuff of teenage fantasies become flesh; barely old enough to want, but too young to get. A sweet bird of youth, she comes armed with a sultry self-possession that alarms the sexually insecure adult. A mere prediction of a woman, she stirs erotic passions often better left unsatisfied. She’s a sweet temptation to all but blind men and eunuchs. She’s sister, daughter, sex object, victim, lover, tramp. We can look forward to watching her fill out over the next decade. Brooke Shields is not use another pretty baby; baby.

Hooooly shiiitt. You have NO IDEA how many times I just about threw this whole transcription away and said nope, fuck no. JFC. The ONLY reason I’m leaving this repulsive trash up here is so ya’ll can read how truly fucked up this author is. What the fuck became of this guy? Is he in jail? Looks like maybe this is the guy responsible for the creation of the High Times magazine?

I mean, I work with security cameras, and I’ve seen the tracking they can employ now. You can specify a color of shirt and color of pants to filter results with pretty solid accuracy and follow a specific person, or vehicle, across multiple cameras. I doubt it would take much to add filter by skin color.

He’s referring to the Lemmy devs and main Lemmy instance .ml. The admins and a large base on that instance are tankies, ie: they support fascist governments like Russia and China and frequently ban anyone who talks bad of either. It shows in the GitHub too.

I’ve had .ml blocked for sometime because it’s just not worth seeing all that bs. Shame that some major communities are only available on .ml tho just because it’s the original instance, but hey that’s what federation is for and about.
