I think its pretty healthy to always check your assumptions. Some things that are mainstream are actually pretty crazy, but taken as normal because we're used to them. For instance, GDP is a pretty crazy way to measure economic health.

Am I the only one that feels horrified that there were at least 173 more Does disguised in those documents?

Piracy equals culture preservation in an age of subscription services.

Not that I'm opposed to a better sudo alternatives, but I find it rather ironic that one of the reason stated is the large attack surface, considering systemd is a massive attack surface already.

Jesus that thing just remind me of Lara Croft's boobs in the first tombraider game.

When you buy something you should have the right to repair it and modify it.

Currently, everything is basically a renters agreement, where you pay for something you have zero rights to modify or opt out of.

Ubuntu. I think of it as the Yahoo of linux distros. It used to be good, but then they made terrible decisions that ultimately made them irrelevant.

People are by far the biggest security risk. I have seen personally tailored phising scams that were even able to fool experienced secops staff.

I found their laptops to be potato quality and their support to be less than helpful tbh. I really wish it was different because I love the concept, but quality is not there yet.

Not to piss on anyones parade here, but grepping something out of a json structure is one of the most asked questions for jq as well. Of course json is nice, but if the goal is to simplify data extraction, I'm not sure much will be gained by this.

As far as reducing the toolchain necessary to extract the same data, this is a welcome addition.

Teams! It literally never works on Linux and you cannot change a single thing about it. I'm so tired of having to tell people that today my teams cannot share shit, which worked flawlessly yesterday.

I keep coming back to connect. I find it offers the best feature set currently.

The new age environment comes to mind, with everything from colonic washes to crystals.

You could look into apps like authelia, keycloak, authentic, etc.

They're not wrong though, Google is a virus.

As often as I can, people deserve to feel good.

Pretty sure none of these parts ended up in a private jet.

That is a good point! It is still horrifying though.

Thunderstorms. It reminds me of my place in the world and how I should stop taking myself so seriously.

Okay, I'll start with a basic one. Equal rights for everyone, regardless of beliefs, physical traits, emotional traits, sexuality or financial situation - will probably need amendments since it's hard to come up with every possible circumstance.

The one that inspires and keeps you engaged.

Towel warmer

First time in Singapore I saw a cockroach sitting on the floor, I went to kill it and then discovered there are flying roaches. Hilariousness of course ensued as a fled out of the apartment, screaming like a terrified little boy.

How many bad eggs are we up to now? I seriously see articles every single day about cops abusing, violating and torture people.

Profiteering off of the suffering of others should be illegal.

Well, I sure am happy I put the nsfw tag on this post now. Thanks for the awesome reply.

I doubt most people leave because of a lack of ping-pong table.

Call me maybe, that shit is a massive ear worm and seems to annoy a whole generation.

Don't argue with idiots!

As Mark Twain said:

"Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

The internet

I have no idea, I don't hang out with bullies.

Here's a short list of things I personally want

  • Change hardware parts
  • Extendable storage
  • 3.5 mm jack

The fact that the whole phone is a unit is both absurd and stupid. It makes it nearly impossible to repair or replace anything but the screen. I cannot even remember how many phones I have been forced to recycle due to the fact that the battery no longer hold charge over time.

Storage might not be a big thing, most of us probably use cloud storage, but I don't want cloud storage with a subscription fee, when it would be easier (and cheaper) to have storage directly in my phone.

I'm going to say it - fuck bluetooth! Every day it's: will it connect? Do I have to re-pair? Is the sound really coming out of my headphones only or do everyone around me here what I hear?

Personally I think the feeling of wet socks trumps both of these, but we're all different.
