  • Roku, in my experience, likes to break apps every 3 months to force you to reconnect and reinstall them, so pihole works, I’ve had one for years, but it didn’t work very well for Roku, unless adblocking is your one and only concern and tracking doesn’t matter to you. I assume it’s the window where they can still get fine-detail logs.

    This might be out of date info; I have had mine off the internet for years at this point, but it’s because of that crap.





  • In my case I like being a healer because it’s the one role nearly everyone else tends to be dogshit with and constantly wiping doesn’t scream “fun” to me. I was the main healer and raid leader for my guild when I played WoW (holy priest, never respecced), and I genuinely enjoyed the constant stream of things to pay attention to. As long as my running mates were doing their jobs adequately, my job was very active-zen. We rarely wiped, and even PUGs went smoothly most of the time because a good healer can make up for a lot of shit from a bad tank or aggro-pulling dps.

    I had a couple mods, nothing that automated heals or anything, just UI tweaks to clean up clutter and then add more, but different, clutter, like an extra 3 rows of hotbinds and combo macros so literally everything was easily accessible. Cuz if you think I used keybinds to cast anything, you’d be wrong. Clicky clicky!

    Kinda miss playing, tbh, but I stopped liking the sort of people who play it…



  • Local dude here stopped running for office due to death threats against them and their family… small, semi-rural, conservative town, the most important decision for which is… idk, tbh. Can’t honestly imagine why anyone would threaten someone here.

    Which makes me want to run for that position instead. Fuck you people, I don’t have a family to worry about, and I’m not all that worried about dying myself. Solid chance I won’t even know about them since I don’t use social media, and barely check my mail… they’d have to actually act on the threats for it to rise to a level I’d notice, and boy oh boy would I love that. Talk about publicity for the campaign for doing nothing!



  • This was fun, and quite amusing. Must have been put out or updated quite recently? Theres a reference to hantavirus, and I can’t actually access that second link to find out more (mostly because I don’t at all consent to all that bullshit they want you to agree to wholesale).

    Only gripe is that its not really super clear that you’ve reached the end and are being looped back through the play section, but theres nothing new to do except gain more levels (despite there being some things that look like they might unlock), so doing it again doesn’t really seem to matter. I went through it fully twice, just to make sure, and even looped back into it a third time just to make sure.

    Also it felt really gross to play as trump, ngl.







  • No such thing exists to my knowledge no, but it could have back when the apple mouse was first introduced.

    I have used a lot of wireless chargers (old phone usb port failed) and… the coil of the charger is typically the least of the problem, the charging coil on the device not matching up with it is usually the bigger issue.

    But mice need basically no charge daily, and a mouse largely confined to a set area would, if well designed, always be on the useable charger space, so any mousepad with a trickle charge worth of capability would be plenty.


  • And this is exactly why I just have cheap mice with separate rechargeable batteries. Also just have enough battery-powered junk to justify it.

    Nothing is close enough to the tower for wired, at about 15 foot away, and I’ll never remember to charge something if I cant just plug it in to a separate power source and charge while using.

    Smart money would have been on a wirelessly charged mouse and a wireless charging mousepad. But nobody uses mousepads anymore, either, now that underside rollerball tracking isn’t an issue, so you can’t introduce something like that now.
