"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

In fuck Cloudflare news, they will not allow you to change NS if you register a domain through them, unless you subscribe to an expensive business plan.

@Null quick Dylan Mulvaney update




Heres an ad he posted on Tiktok for his "Faghag" performance. Ages 16+. No footage of the rehearsals that I can find sadly, but hes going to be debuting it at some festival soon so maybe we will get to see this one man show in action.

Dylan Mulvaney is previewing her new solo musical at ours before heading up to Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
An ex-twink tries on a new label for size as she navigates dating, delusion and God through storytelling, stand-up and a musical number or two.


Dylan Mulvaney is an actress, comedian and content-creator known for her viral series Days of Girlhood which has a billion views online and was named Forbes’ 30-under-30, Out 100 and Attitude’s Woman of the Year.


Directed by Tim Jackson (Two Strangers, West End; Merrily We Roll Along, Broadway).

I hate networking but why would you use cloudflare as a registrar of you don't plan to use their NS's? Isn't their core biz model you using their NS for the provided DNS records that route through their DDOS protection shit?

Because it's hard to find neutral registrars these days. Google just shut down theirs so they would not have to make decisions about who to provide service for. Cloudflare is using that to try and get more money.

For some reason cloudflare is really hurting to make money. They've not managed to make their monopoly work.

The bottom of the reddit post goes over some potential issues with the restriction.
Here are some scenarios I can imagine where this causes problems:
  • Cloudflare has a widespread problem with their DNS service, and I want to fail over to a new provider?
  • Cloudflare decides they want to be an email provider, and will no longer allow MX records pointing at other providers?
  • Another SaaS company starts up a registrar service, and locks you in even more severely?

On that note, is ICANN or Verisign known for bullying registrars who cater to those deemed undesirable or is there other players who have leverage in this game? Is there an opportunity for a neutral registrar to carve out a place in the market or is there other hurdles (besides financial costs of accreditation/escrow)?

No. Though icann is very very choosy about who they accredit.

@Col I think you’re straight up delusional if you think Trump’s expressions of religiosity on the campaign trail are sincere. Not super interested in talking to you. You may take that as a win though.

I also think we clashed over killdozer. And I have to say it’s comical to be told a little bit of errata invalidates the source saying Heemeyer was just an asshole while all the pro-killdozer youtubers refuse to mention his near homicides of a widow and small children. I think you’re just taken in by comforting stories.

You don’t have to care but I was probably a lot like you 6-7 years ago. You will grow out of it. And your views will actually become stronger

It doesn't have to be sincere. If I run on banning monkeys, I get elected and ban monkeys, how is it relevant if I don't actually think monkeys should be banned? Politics has moved past "I vote for the guy because I like him personally even if I disagree with him on policy." It is now, "How can i further my agenda? Who will actually further my political goals if elected?"
"I have no interest in debating the far-right alt-righters; they're irrelevant. If I end the conversation early with smug chuckling then project I am the winner, sorry kiddo." I wasn't aware I was talking to THE Sargon of Applebees

How is it a comforting story? A guy commited suicide in a bulldozer after he got fucked with by the government, if we are going with the supposed "comforting story." You claim I believe.

Bro. You have no idea my political beliefs, nor what they have been in the past. In addition if it is on the subject of religion, people don't grow out of religion they just pick up a different one. Finally as a generality the opposite is the case for your claim.

"Many sociologists who have studied people's beliefs in God over time contend that there is a cohort effect; young people who are more likely to doubt God's existence carry their disbelief with them as they age, meaning that societies as a whole are tending to become more secular. But the NORC study suggests it's possible instead that people change their beliefs over time. “Looking at differences among age groups, the largest increases in belief in God most often occur among those 58 years of age and older. This suggests that belief in God is especially likely to increase among the oldest groups, perhaps in response to the increasing anticipation of mortality,” Smith said. He noted that the higher level of belief does not appear to be simply a cohort effect."

@Null RARE Comicsgate drama as Marvel has started to add PHYSICAL DRM to their printed comics by censoring their last page of each new comic with a QR CODE that people have to scan to actually see the last page of the comic they paid on Marvel's digital comics publishing platform. They're """only""" doing this for 1st issues for now, no mention on how long hosting on Marvel web services for these DRM locked comic pages will last....
1721938400754.png
TLDR: to avoid "spoilers" marvel is now locking the final page of each x-men issue behind a QR code which you scan and pulls up the final page. The final page is just a normal static image which serves as the cliffhanger or shoe drop hook for the next issue as is common in comics. The stated reason for this is to stop any leaks of issues from their suppliers or stores before they go on sale or "MUH PIRACY" via scanlation as is common in Japanese Manga consumption in western countries.

Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman's X-Men #1 launched the X-Men's From the Ashes era with a new X-Men team and new villains known only as 3K — revealed not in the issue itself, but in a comic book version of a Marvel post-credits scene. After Alaska-based X-Men Cyclops, Psylocke, Kid Omega, Temper, Magik, and Juggernaut battled a team of Orchis-made new mutants, the issue snuck in an extra sequence: a scannable QR code redirected readers to a one-page "bonus scene" accessed through the Marvel website.

The trend has continued across Marvel's just-relaunched X-Men comics with Phoenix #1 and this week's NYX #1, which introduced major characters or plot points in online bonus scenes accessible only by third-party QR readers.

"It was a bonus page to begin with, an extra page — we didn't scale back the contents of X-Men #1 in order to do it," Marvel Comics VP Executive Editor Tom Brevoort explained on Substack. "And it gave us a page whose contents we could conceal until the day of release, thus avoiding any early spoilers. You'll find that we're doing similar pages in most of the new X-launches."

Apparently the troons are mad that streamer Kai Cenat and MoistCr1tikal didn't use the Mr. Beast tranny’s “correct pronouns” (Link)

There's the misgendering clip in question

Most of the people in the replies didn't give a fuck about the misgendering and called Chris a man

They're also mad at Charlie for using “they” instead of “she”

Again, It seems like most people (other than ugly troons) don’t give a fuck about the misgendering.

Caught up on the Gumroad and a question occurred to me during Josh’s rant.
@Null, when you look back at your crazy Internet hobo globetrotting do you think it was worth doing? Do you look back at your travels fondly as part of your life story or is it more complicated than that?

Yes, it's taught me valuable lessons about both the good and bad of other countries. It's actually really insightful.

That’s kind of what I thought.
I truly believe that, if possible, people should travel and see more of the world than the place they grew up in.
The lessons you learn being in a place where you can’t read the script and are truly an alien can’t be gotten from books, and for younger people that is invaluable.
