The internet has become a painful corpo/gov thing to use and no longer any fun can be had on it. Everything is constantly moderated, checked, double checked, tripled checked etc... When 99% of people just want to browse in peace. The buzzword I see everywhere is "secure" yeah to me that means fuck all most of the time it means you use https instead of http... But everything has to be secure(d) as if suddenly the internet would collapse overnight if it wasn't.

Am I the only one feeling that way?

Edit I don't get the downvotes oh well it's reddit after all can't expect deep thought

This usually happens right before it is about to go down yet again... Or is my experience invalid?

Edit: turns out it was stuck like this and simply cancelling the prompt without resubmiting it led to a sudden output​

If all commercial VPN IPs are blocked we all become nodes... What are they gonna do? Punish the whole planet? ​

Hello

I have been trying for a while to grab the default mouse cursor sprite so I can color it and display it again. But alas I can't seem to find that damm sprite... Where is it? How do I grab it?

For context back in late 2019 I was watching leaked footage from China and observing symptoms, reading anecdotes etc. The west somehow was surprised by covid in early 2020 when I was already ordering respirators back in late 2019 because I knew that what was happening in China was bad and it wouldn't stay in China.

Then we had the endless dithering about isolation, masking, airborne etc stuff that was long settled in my mind... (airborne, isolation vital, respirator minimum ffp2 surgical masks = crap)

They are pulling the same shut again with this thing. Now I doubt it will reach pandemic levels. By why the f*ck are the same people who absolutely dropped the ball on covid in charge here too? (I'm looking at you WHO and your "it's not airborne") ​​​​

Am I the only one feeling betrayed yet again? I'm not even worried about the virus because I know what works and it is always the same playbook but I am very worried about the state of our so called leaders.

I’m a physically disabled man living in France, with a chronic condition that isn’t treatable. Despite that, I lead a rich intellectual life I’m curious by nature, with interests spanning engineering, philosophy, psychology, music, and the arts more broadly. I value culture, good conversation, and a certain depth in how people see the world.

I’m also on the autism spectrum (mild Aspergers), which shapes how I connect, I tend to be thoughtful, direct, and sincere.

I’m looking to explore two long-held fantasies with the right woman (mid–late 20s). One would be a one-time, more adventurous and kinky experience; the other would be something softer, more personal, potentially ongoing centered around companionship, connection, and mutual care. There may be some overlap between the two, depending on the dynamic.

I’m especially drawn to women who are creative, open-minded, emotionally intelligent, and have a certain level of culture or education.

If this resonates with you, feel free to reach out we can talk and see where things go.
