Reply to Washington State Now Hiring 'Strike Team' for Quarantine Facility With 24/7 Security by ghast

Also, if you do a search on Google for "isolation quarantine job" you'll see listings for jobs at quarantine facilities all over the country.

One of the disturbing things to me about these facilities being built and staffed in America, is that if they start kidnapping dissidents because they were "near someone with the alphaomegamonster variant and tested positive", no other country would really stand up for us since the US is the world superpower. They might offer some mildly disapproving words or something. We're 100% on our own.

My only question is whether or not I want to know what a sex doll is. Sex bots would be an exciting proposition, as long as they can clean and cook.

Burn in hell, queers. The NSDAP destroyed your institute for a reason. The only thing they did wrong was not slaughter all of you in addition to burning your books.

Thanks. I'll always support free speech, even speech I disagree with. I've looked at replacing Ramble with a new platform entirely, as Postmill is a nightmare to work with and modify. Downside to that is that it wouldn't be possible to import current users and data to the new platform in any realistic fashion without paying someone to develop an import tool but the upside being a site that is more easily adjustable to our needs.

Yeah, being the guy that runs something like a "free-speech" platform is a losing battle. Old Voat eventually had the admin missing in action completely. But then, not every platform needs to grow to the size of reddit. Though, it would be nice if Ramble had a few users more, so I'm advertising this place where I can.

This.

But I'll enable the feature if someone wants to create a new one. I'd leave it open but I'm not around enough to feel comfortable doing it, because people will create dumb shit and post it on other sites trying to get this place shut down.

Last time I pitched the idea for asking for community help running this place, people acted like I was personally inviting spooks to help moderate stuff.

So it's sort of a lose lose from a management perspective. I'd like to see this place be more active but the reality is I'm just one person and run a business and work a regular part time job and try to do that while balancing a normal life.

Reply to Here’s Why Firefox is Seeing a Continuous Decline for Last 12 Years by z3d

Proton is the end of a long-overdue overhaul of the UI to fit with the modular, quicker backend, if I understand it correctly. The addon API was more painful but similar. Both should have happened a long time ago, and would have saved countless developer time spent on the old codebase.

They could have done it all at once with a full experimental browser again, which is what Phoenix originally was. But that doesn't fit with the branding and telemetry obsession Mozilla has.

It's not as bad as they make it out.
