I honestly will just slap cmd-q on most games. If they don’t handle it properly… well, sucks for me I guess, but most do. (on a mac)
I wonder how most games treat alt-f4 on windows?

I’m reminded of something that Binding of Isaac does that I wish more games would do: If you’re anywhere in the main menu (even drilled into it), if you just mash the B button/Esc key, it will keep backing out, up to and including exiting the game if you press it on the main menu. I hate games that make me click 3 times and say “are you sure??” when I just want to quit the dang program.
But with more walls around the garden
Just to help me understand: Why is it that when I try the same search on different instances of this, I get very different search results?
Russian, but yeah

This shit keeps radicalizing me about the internet more and more. Ughh.
I mean, Google does index and cache most webpages internally already. So yeah, maybe. But after reading the article it doesn’t sound like they’re doing that.
I really really love duskers. Just beware that there…
basically just isn’t an ending.
We see the “cloud” as some bulletproof storage but long term it’s up in the air really.
A+ pun, intended or not
I even found an old diary entry of mine today that linked to one of my own facebook posts, and that link had already rotted. Ugh.
There’s a great video about the inherent problems with crypto stuff and contract law here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6aeL83z_9Y
Mostly about the inherent legal unenforcability of contracts on the blockchain.
Hm. I wonder if you could write a browser extension to just kill gifs in their tracks and only show the first frame without hover or whatever. Maybe. Didn’t find a solution after a cursory look (only malware called Gif Jam) but this certainly seems possible in principle…
Someone on StackOverflow found a thing that accomplished it; maybe this can be converted into a userscript. If this would be really valuable to you, and you aren’t up for doing it yourself, let me know — I might make this just for fun. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5818003/stop-a-gif-animation-onload-on-mouseover-start-the-activation
EDIT: I made one. Weirdly it works on all sites except beehaw, though, and it just breaks gifs on beehaw. Probably some content security policy on beehaw preventing the images from loading for the JS? https://gist.github.com/phoenixeliot/45f0c6a04fffd84998ac8bc526c901fe
But it does successfully replace gifs with broken images, so maybe still net positive for people for whom gifs are a health hazard?
Some parts that can be configured:
Which sites it applies to:
// @match https://beehaw.org/*
// @match https://*
How to select which elements are considered gifs:
var gifElements = document.querySelectorAll(
'img[src$="gif"], img[alt*=animated]'
);
I think the answer to “am I asexual/aromantic?” is one you gotta answer yourself. But from the sound of it, you’d definitely be in good company with us.
More specifically, I think words like that are best used as descriptors when you’re trying to communicate your deal to other people — if they’re useful descriptors, go ahead and use them. If they’re not, then toss em.
And then the labels are useful for finding people with similar experiences, so that you can hang out with them.
I have a short laundry list of labels and “diagnoses” I don’t care about making official in any kind of capacity because that’s not the point, the point is finding the people I can relate to and the ways of approaching the world that work for them, because often those things work for me too if I try them out. In the context of ace people, it’s taught me that it’s actually viable, and a thing that’s valid to want, to have a relationship where sex is not an important focus, and it’s helped me reorient myself towards close friendships as I’m getting over my last very bad long term relationship.
This is a really specific thing, but GET A SEWER INSPECTION, and the sewer insurance on your homeowner’s insurance! Sewer inspections apparently aren’t a standard part of home inspections, and two of my friends bought a house recently — both had junk sewer lines that needed replacing, and one got the previous owner to pay for fixing it after it was found to have a crack, and the other friend didn’t, and had to shell out something like $10k for it just a year into living there because they didn’t have insurance for it.
This applies especially to old buildings.
It’s OK, we’re here for you while you recover.

My guess: People who can be as competent with security as they need are very expensive.
