My mom once got told by a psychic that she’d have a boy and a girl. But then they corrected themself in confusion that she’d have another girl sometime later, and that something was different/special about this correction that they couldn’t fully make out.

Turned out to be very true…

Not that I believe in that stuff but it’s a neat little anecdote this reminded me of.

Technically true yeah. But I frequented 4chan in the old days. It is not the same website by a long shot. Yes, it has always sucked, but now it’s even worse somehow.

Like most other social media, I’d bet good money that there are astroturfing campaigns running trying to radicalize the those who browse there, especially since it’s easier to introduce divisive messaging as edgy humor.

Probably a higher success rate than most other social media considering the shit you see on /pol/ and likelihood of harboring incels and other ideologically susceptible users.

Fallacious argument.

Something that can’t generate wine glass full to the brim without a band-aid fix is far from “transformative.” Even if it were:

Only the owner of copyright in a work has the right to prepare, or to authorize someone else to create, a new version of that work.

More like obfuscated plagiarism.

Cookies are old news. What about browser fingerprinting which can track you across websites? https://www.amiunique.org/

There’s basically no easy way to safeguard against it without making browsing nearly unusable.

Thank you for the info! I wasn’t aware of the X11 colors.

The original author only gives this information about their setup:

bar - custom + fork of dmenu (not shown)

gtk theme - custom version of cde theme

icons - just a couple grabbed from various themes

term - urxvt and a generic vte term

I imagine this is not Motif since it’s a GTK theme? Not very familiar with GUI stuff.

Maybe it’s FVWM? It is a derivative of TWM.

Perhaps NsCDE?

NsCDE and other CDE lookalikes seem to have a thicker horizontal bar in the upper left decoration than this and the original CDE, but perhaps that is one of the customizations the author mentions.

Also, the background seems to be from Elementary OS beta. Specifically, blueprint hue shifted to match purpleprint, based on the cropping and vignette.

Yeah too many just look so… samey. Not mine, but one I wish to recreate
