    I am saying that AdBlock premium has a different cost based on your location, which you can switch with your VPN.

    Big disagree.

    1. It is unlawful for a gift card to expire in the US. (Ask Simon Malls how badly they got fucked for this.)

    2. There are tons of expensive restaurants my partner and I are simply not going to go to unless we're able to knock $100 of the bill.

    3. Retired people are on a budget. Gift cards help them with that.

    4. Often times people have niche hobbies wherein buying a present might have good intentions. but it'll be in vain. I'm a beer snob. Do not get me beer as a gift, ever. Gladly take a gift card to a good brewery. I'm a musician -- don't buy me gear. I work and tinker with networking. Don't buy me hardware. Give me gift cards.

    They are low effort and high reward. They are excellent gifts, both to give and receive.

    I want to make clear here that my response is 100% neutral

    Genuinely curious about percentage of total population for these numbers here. I mean, it's also a weird and tough thing too compare, it's not as though those targeted in Germany in World war II had borders of their own. I'm still curious, though.

    Hey, too close to election for me to not fervently call out misinformation bullshit like this:

    It was The Trump Administration who signed the National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-5)

    National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-5): Signed on June 16, 2017, this policy outlined the Trump administration's approach to rolling back aspects of the Cuba normalization process. It directed restrictions on travel, business dealings with Cuban entities controlled by the military, and restrictions on educational and cultural exchanges.

    It was Donald Trump who directed the creation of the Cuba Restricted List

    The U.S. Department of State, following Trump's directives, created a list of Cuban entities with which direct financial transactions are prohibited. This list largely includes businesses owned by or affiliated with the Cuban military, intelligence, or security services. It was first issued in November 2017 and has been updated several times since.

    Has absolutely nothing to do with Biden or his administration. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

    You can get arrested, you could be detained under a reasonable articulable suspicion of having committed a crime.

    As to whether or not that would ultimately lead to trouble? No. Could it still cost you money, time, etc? Yes.

    I'm approaching 40. I've been all over the internet my whole life. Mostly a metal head. I love me my prog rock. I love my folk, and a little indie here and there. I won't give away too much, but if you know where I know this music from, give me a shout. I'm sure some of y'all are out tofu aware out there. Pete Davis never got the fame he deserves in this genre. Maybe Foss platforms can give a hum le ho ie a signal boost. This is his most popular track with a band from cages ago, but peep his shit. He deserves it.

    The bottom of the page there is a countdown that will expire at midnight Eastern standard Time tonight. This company claims to be in Boston. They've received federal grants. I've done a small amount of digging, but it would be entirely within valves resources to set up such a company. They have a LinkedIn, but it doesn't really seem like anyone really works there? It seems like a viral marketing campaign. There was a Reddit thread. A while back. Some people noticed classes in the HTML that referenced other half-lifey things. But, some people in that thread shut it down as nothing out of the ordinary. Then, there have been recent leaks with regard to a new game being developed. Someone found a resume suggesting that a person had done voice-over work for an unreleased project with Valve in 2023. There was also a leak of some files with .hlx file types, and I guess prior to the half-life alyx release some .hla files leaked. In the .hlx file leak, I guess there was found references to things like the EV suit. Here's a YouTube [video](https://youtu.be/36gF6eiCsqU) that touches on all of this.

    This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated. To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell. If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.

    Anyone else getting worse and worse service with chat gpt? I am getting repetitive incorrect and lazy answers and then rate limited. Idk what I'm even paying for at this point. It's happened the last 5 times I've used it over the last week or so. Am I alone?

    Im on a galaxy s22+. This started happening the same time the upvotes downvote buttons started to glitch in the UI which I have also posted about. This issue is more annoying. When I am mid response, I'll often leave the app to get more accurate info in what I'm trying to say. When I come back to Lemmy, it's all black. Nothing. But my button presses are still registering. If I go to the app switcher (bottom left android button) thing, and reselect Lemmy, it fixes and the display returns. But if I react by pressing the back button, I lose my response, I lose the post I was responding to, I sometimes can't even relocate the thread I was in easily.

    I need to hit the upvotes and downvote buttons twice on the main page. It will flash it's color as I press on press 1, but then quickly revert. On second press, it behaves normally.

    This guy was something special. Not too many prodigies can improv like Tom Brier. Someone posted Nyan cat the other day and it reminded me of the incredible body of his work. This guys relative made this YouTube channel when he realized Tom could play *anything* and turn it into a full length song ad libertum, AND that he was incredibly out of touch with pop culture. Most of the time he is completely unfamiliar with the song being presented to him. You can tell how much he enjoyed this song by his enthusiastic laugh at the end 😊 Guy sadly was in a bad car accident in 2016, and can no longer play. These videos just make me cry now, but God damn does this mean deserve keep being found and revered.

    Right now there are three feeds available to me, that, as far as I can tell, I have minimal control over. It'd be rad if there was a way to add feeds, and for each feed, be able to manually select communities I'd like to see. This would be great for news, porn, sports, pornography, adult content, and so much more.

    Last week we had a great thread about metal without growls. In reading suggestions, and conjuring up some of my own, I re-realized a bunch of stuff. I wanna see your top 3 metal deep cuts. What do I mean by deep cut? I mean the formative shit. The stuff you found and loved along the way but lost track of, that when you revisit you go "fuck what happened to these guys?" The ones that helped guide you but fell off the face of the earth (or just your radar).
