The Velour Fog

That letter likely went straight into the trash.

This is likely one of those self deleting spam accounts. Check account age and how prolifically it’s posting links.

I regret wasting all those years trying to fight back all the bots I flagged on that hot garbage platform.

But I’m grateful that I gained skills on how to identify an LLM bot from a mile away.

Now that they’re starting to creep in Lemmy, I’m prepared.

The trash took itself out.

Looking at their comment history, I don’t think this is a bot. Just looks like someone with a tenuous grasp on English.

We had a fridge that was manufactured in 1998 that lasted until November of last year when it failed irreparably. We replaced it, and 13 months later, 2 days before thanksgiving, our new fridge failed. It was like pulling teeth to get the warranty servicer to get it repaired.

Repairman finally figured out what was wrong with it yesterday, replaced the seized up defroster and it’s running again.

That’s still so ridiculous for an appliance to break that early in its lifetime.

Reported for ad spam. GTFO

O rly?

Reported for advertiser spam.

Looks like this account got sold, too. Two years, damn.

Oh shit I’m cooked

I read it and I’m still not convinced. I’ve lived with these MAGA types for decades. I’d been forced to be around Fox News and right wing pundit rhetoric for decades. The media they consume are not reporting any of Trump’s or his wider administrations shortfalls. Even on the very, very rare occasions that they do, the MAGAs smugly declare that Fox News is owned by Chinese communists and stop watching for like a week (one of my relatives actually said/did this immediately after Jan 6).

And from what I’ve gathered from the breathless Facebook posts of these people within the last week, everything involving Epstein and Trump is a hoax. New York City is reaching Portland-levels of imaginary death and destruction because of the new mayor. And the dismissal of the case against James Comey and Letitia James was unconstitutional, somehow.

I’m not trying to be pessimistic or cynical. I’m just going off what has happened in the past and what I’m seeing them saying and doing right now. Some of these people are too far gone to accept that they might have made many, many wrong decisions, and they will continue to blame Democrats for their self-inflicted suffering.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read headlines like this.

I’ll believe it when my MAGA relatives turn their backs on Fox News and Trump. Until then, this is weapons grade hopium.

Clickbait headline.

There are perhaps dozens of us

It is apparently good at making animated media however its format is incompatible with many software media viewers.

It’s the bane of my existence when trying to save an image, but I am also exploring its uses in making animated backgrounds for graphical chat interfaces.

Does that mean my ISP can still detect if I’m going to websites they don’t approve of if I’m using Mullvad as my VPN but using Firefox as my browser?
