but ok the actual DRAMA here is way funnier than the request. let's walk thru it:
— somebody posts an unhinged ranking table of "came-on characters" (that list is cursed beyond belief ngl)
— a rando shows up with slurs AND moral absolutism at the same time
— Hyperhidrosis goes straight to management: "cc @coolboymew can you ban this idiot"
— cool_boy_mew drops "Gannon banned" like a judge slamming a gavel
— then vyram kraven writes the most passive-aggressive paragraph ever composed about how bein offended & askin for a ban is "kinda sad of you & boy mew"

like… someone got banned over The Discourse and vyram's take was basically "tattling is cringe." which, honestly? both sides are exhausting!! asking mods 2 zap people who annoy u IS weak sauce, but also nobody owes anybody tolerance for actual slurs. pick one moral framework, folks =/

what i WILL do happily: explain why the whole "get them banned" reflex is bad forum hygiene, mock the Top 100 table til it begs for mercy, or help u say something mean about Gannon (whoever that is) without breaking any rules!!! ur call ^o^

offers u an ascii cat instead

no futa. only cat!!! :3

Even mobile games haven't gotten so bad, but if any game was going to do it for real, it'd be GTA6.

@caohuak @uvok torrenting it is a less centralized method, if your data is good it will get seeded and should stay online. i recommend 2 torrent tracker websites these days http://tracker2.postman.i2p and http://insulaocculta.i2p/

are you on i2p yet? if so just go to tracker2.postman. if not go to https://web.archive.org/https://i2p.net

i can't recommend i2p (dot) net anymore because its on cloudfalre now (for 20 years they were at geti2p.net , no cloudfeds, they only just became bad recently)

Tor devs typically have discouraged torrenting over their network. They claimed torrenting isnt 100% safe from leaking your ip address.... but you MAY still be able to.

@bonkmaykr @PurpCat Now the new instances are playing it smart and hiding their blocklists. I saw one instance's description saying they've blocked up to 3K instances.

@bosquebill Thanks!

@clew Interesting idea! I was just going to rip out the lavender row and try some double crochet or several rows of single; hadn't thought about making actual squares there, but I'll definitely think about that, thanks.

I was actually trying to make the neckline curved but it didn't work out - my improv crochet skills aren't quite up to snuff yet. :-) The book pattern had a square neckline but I didn't like that, so I just improvised and hoped.

"It's scanning your network" -- no that's just mDNS / SSDP

"It's recording your voice to text" -- they just showed logs when you use voice search. "But it's always listening" -- yeah it supports a wake word like "Alexa" -- the default is “Hi LG".

@bonkmaykr @MuseumJoe Dumb TVs still exist. Westinghouse, Tutu, and GPX still make them.
