I think I got it. People are less afraid of big butt representation. ✊

Poor hippo ;-;

That’s alao good. ASCII art is a treasure that must be preserved.

It says “me when”, for anyone asking

What do you mean a hippo is being violated??

Did you copy it from the Internet, or did you do it yourself?

It would probably be better to call it “Kakoune mode”, as that’s where most of the Helix keybindings come from, but I agree nevertheless.

Damn, is it bugging you that much? Those spinner annimations really are made to look like that (with only three dots being filled at a time). I’m guessing it would be a bit hard to change those animations. You could maybe change the characters the programs use for the animation, but that could mess with the correct rendering of certain programs in the terminal. You could also change that in the source code of the programs you use, but that would require you to find where the change must be done and recompile for every program you use.

While we’re at it, could you do a drawing of how you think the animation should look like?

You say that Mullvad is heavily shilled, and I’d like to learn more about it. Would you mind showing a concrete example, so I can better inform myself?

Sorry it took so long, but I added some of your suggestions in. Thanks.

Please be careful when using Windows 10, because any security vulnerabilities envolving Windows itself will not be fixed, and your computer will be more vulnerable to attacks. I’m not saying this to scare you off, but to advise you to take extra precaution and to remind you that most computer security experts do not recommend using and connecting to the Internet systems that will get no further security updates. I’m no expert myself, but I’m pretty sure that things like making sure you web browser is always updated, being careful with the programs you choose to download, and using updated antivirus software are the most common tips for this kind of situation. You might want to do more your research on this topic yourself if you haven’t yet. Stay safe!

I’m glad that someone is finally trying to prosecute XAI for their crimes! Making a product that allows anyone to make deepfake porn and other types of also bad deepfakes, and proceding to do nothing about those cases, should be, in my books, extremely illegal, and I’m pretty sure that’s also illegal in the legal framework of most European countries.

Fair point. I just assumed most people reading my message wouldn’t care much about torrenting, but in this economy where censorship is pretty much happening, port forwarding would definitely be a plus. Do you have better suggestions?

Wait, WHAT? They already voted? I didn’t expect that so soon…

Oh. I didn’t expect that. It’s sad it didn’t work then.

The US government and everyone that stands behind it, they want to make those who fight against ICE look like dangerous creatures that roam the Earth and must be stopped. They want to look like they’re in total control, by making these fighters look desperate for their lives when they are arrested, by celebrating whenever one of them is killed. But most importantly, they want us to fight each other, so that we forget who is our true opponent on what is basically a war on our rights as human beings.

The part where it’s suggested to give your full address when calling law-makers could backfire, no? Do you really need to do that to get the call tallied?

You didn’t sound mean, I was just a bit sad that my conspiracy theory turned out to be wrong. I’m sorry for for the barrage of conspiracy theories you keep getting, and I’m especially sorry for how disrespectful some of them are (I mean, who the hell would think that your name is Jessica???).

If you live in the UK or in another country where porn is being restricted:

• Talk with friends and family about getting a VPN (EDIT: Some recommendations I’ve heard are Air VPN, Private Internet Access, and, despite not having port forwarding, which is essentially one less major feature, Mullvad VPN. A thank-you to @jmf@lemmy.dbzer0.com for suggesting the former two.)
• Learn to use the Tor network (it’s really easy to start, and unlike popular belief, Tor isn’t only for illegal activities)
• Pressure MPs that didn’t vote in favor of the age verification bill by sending emails to them about it so that they fight (or keep fighting) this age verification nonsense.

You don’t need to be a porn addict to do these things. In fact, they have started with porn, but they may as well keep going and fight for age verification in other types of content, making access to said content way more difficult. The best thing you can do right now is to learn to fight back.
