Not so cool anymore eh? Don't glorify fascists.

I've heard of people printing out charts, then cutting out the part they wanted to calculate an integral of, then weighing the paper.

It's so idiotic that it can't be malice.

It's just Linus overworking his employees.

IT jobs pay well.

Some people will always want wires to transfer data,

But that group of people is growing smaller and smaller with each year. I haven't used a phone cable to transfer files once in the last 8 years. Phones just sync to cloud.

Can you connect PCI-E devices to USB 4? That feels like the only useful feature of Thunderbolt imo.

I think that swappable GPUs are the killer feature. A 7 year old CPU is fine, a 7 year old GPU not so much.

Do you have a shitty 10mbps connection like my parents? Then WiFi, because you're easily saturating that line either way.

Only if latency doesn't matter. WiFi has a lot more jitter, no matter if your WAN connection is 10 or 1000mbps.

yes, the lessening of porn quality is more reddit-like.

If you're using Firefox, install uBlock as well. You can also add the YouTube website as a shortcut to your desktop.

I think that Spotify (or any other music streaming service) are the only ones still worth it. I don't have to sign up for Spotify and Tidal and YouTube Music since any of them has whatever I need.

If that were to change, then I'll be subscription-free.

Also, I like paying for Spotify since it's the only European big-tech.

I didn't fully drop Reddit but I use it significantly less.

My Facebook is only memes, only from the large meme pages, not the ones I like that I have to check manually since they'll never end up in my feed. And news articles.

It started with Facebook just hiding what your friends are posting. It still happens that someone shares a photo once a year or so, but I will never get shown it. I just browse my friend's profiles manually.

Because they know it will sell.

They don't need to make a good Star Wars movie because they don't need to onboard new fans. They make them only to squeeze out existing fans who will pay regardless of quality.

The new Matrix movie was actually a masterpiece. The Wachowski's didn't want to revive the franchise since they considered it complete - but the studio insisted that if they didn't make it, the studio would get it done itself. So they accepted the offer, and made a movie so bad that it killed any attempts at reviving the franchise for good. The Matrix is now dead, and it will stay that way (hopefully).

I guess Star Wars is too strong to kill even with multiple shit movies.

Besides that, for how long can you squeeze the same universe? I'd rather have something new.

Which is why the first thing I do when I get a new Android phone is to install LineageOS.

It's easy to port, has low system requirements, and it's funny to see running on a toaster

I got a few ideas:

  • Let people make their own multi-communities, then publish them. The multis would get a separate category in search.

  • Let community moderators decide to join a list. For example:

  1. community@a and community@b exist.
  2. mod@a starts multi-community@a
  3. mod@b requests for community@b to join that multi
  4. mod@a accepts
  5. multi-community@a is now a shared feed of both communities.

Unix was originally a networked system that many terminals would connect to. Being able to actually reach the machine meant that you had authority.

It's the same today. If someone has physical access, the system is so screwed that you can just give total privileges anyways.

Hard for it to be otherwise, considering it affects almost everything.

I'd rather focus on publicly traded companies as the main root of evil before dealing with capitalism itself. Private companies tend to not be so destructive - many are fine staying where they are, instead of growing infinitely like cancer, eating everything around them.

But somehow, Google couldn't be bothered to advertise the product at all. They ran 1 Super Bowl commercial which didn't make a whole lot of sense to the average viewer, and then basically zero marketing after that.

Google is really bad at marketing despite being an advertising company. Most of the products they've launched then shut down I just never heard of, despite finding the ideas behind them really enticing after the fact.

Reddit doesn’t pay them anything, doesn’t even offer premium at a discount or anything.

But it offers them a tiny bit of power, via being a internet janitor. I'm certain that there's a decent amount of people who will jump at the opportunity to become a moderator of a large subreddit. They are obviously the worst people to wield such power - just like anyone in the real world who seeks power is least likely to use it for good.

Moderation will be low quality, but it will remove spam. As long as the content mill keeps running all is fine. Users of the tiktokified official Reddit app won't even notice a thing.

where do I find these "new people"

I've even had one tell me that he and Pence were the two prophets of the End Times in Revelations.

In a way they are

Try to do any formatting more complex than none at all in Confluence. It just gets polluted with invisible markup and changes styling randomly.

CS2 just doesn't precompile shaders. The game just shits itself running on AMD because of that.

The shader cache itself is also broken and gets reset by the game on every restart.

Each time it offers to translate a page, there's a "Never translate from [LANGUAGE]" button.

Leftpad

It's good old C.

I really like PowerShell's object-oriented approach to pipelines. Unix pipes feel really dated in comparison.

I always thought [dumping](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy\)) was illegal.

Because they're a monopoly and should get nationalized to ensure they align with the citizens rather than with the greedy shareholders.

I'm the weird guy who loves Water Hazard. Easily my favourite part of the game. Run the combine over with an airboat, break the scaffolds they are standing on, look at the goofy ragdolls. And I'm a bitch for sunsets.

"Follow Freeman" is the worst imo. I remember getting horribly lost there when I played HL2 as a kid. Same issue with Ravenholm - even when I play it now, but the vibe carries it.

iPhones are expensive. I just buy a Xiaomi phone with good components and crap software, unlock the bootloader, install good software (LineageOS). Does everything I need from a phone.

I just have my phone always silenced except for phone calls from contacts.

The issue with tags is who's going to moderate them.

The reddit model has an owner responsible for each community. Tags don't, and as such the moderation responsibility over everything falls on server administrators.

I don't know the prices now, but half a year ago in Poland olive oil was cheaper than any other oil and significantly cheaper than butter. Like 6€ a liter.

Cellular is always overloaded in rural areas. Mobile ISPs always take on more customers than their infrastructure can handle.

I see cyan/gray, I guess others see white/pink?

No pulling wires from walls, just cutting the ends off and installing new connectors. Might not be enough in every case though.

Crimping took me like 5 attempts to get right when I learned it in school.

If only an open source thing had some consistent margins. It could look so much better.
