What makes you think this isn’t how I code? Offices love me, this is way cheaper than a bunch of ergonomic equipment.

ICQ is still around, seems like it is mainly used by Russians now.

I don’t check Reddit much, but I have been using Dystopia lately if I need to check a niche community. I have a different VPN so no idea if browsing Reddit through that app works with Mullvad, but it does let me browse without an account.

I used RiF as well so I didn’t see the ads first hand, but I definitely came across multiple posts complaining about the Jesus ads. They were apparently pretty bizarre and it was a large ad campaign partly funded by the founder of Hobby Lobby. Even NPR (US National Public Radio) did a story on them: https://www.npr.org/2023/02/06/1154880673/jesus-commercial-super-bowl-billboard-he-gets-us-hobby-lobby-evangelical-billion

No. Mostly I turn off the notification stuff if I can, especially the little dot with the unread number. A lot of that stuff isn’t worth reading.

Some people don't want to come off as really crass and aggressive. I don't understand why people get so offended by polite language. It's not a religious thing, plenty of religious people swear up a storm.

My dad was in the army, so he was no stranger to swearing. My parents weren't strict or religious when I was growing up. I just didn't like how harsh and, frankly, how stupid swears sounded, so I decided not to use them.

People like to say "you can swear on the internet", but just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it. The people on the internet are every bit as real as people off the internet and words can cause a whole lot of hurt. Why not make the internet a more friendly and inviting place?

Does it really hurt anyone that this person edited this post to match their personality better? Why is this even a big deal?
