It is propaganda when the person who caused the problem solved the problem then expects an applause.

If they ever advertised a use case for it, then took that use case away, they can be sued. My most recent memory if the class action against Sony when they dropped Linux support on the PS3.

I mean, the delivery people need to get paid, right?

Man where do you live that an inch of snow is enough to call off going out?

And how much is rent?

Room 641A is a known fact.

That’s more what I mean. They won’t break the encryption, but at that point with physical access to my home/ computer/ servers, I have bigger problems.

There’s very little stored locally that could be worse than a situation where someone has physical access to my machine.

I used to, but it’s proven to be a pain more often than a blessing. I’m also of the opinion that if a bad actor capable of navigating the linux file system and getting my information from it has physical access to my disk, it’s game over anyway.

Yeah but that’s missing the flair required by people who spend their evenings adjusting the radial blur on the window borders.

In the modern day, sometimes it’s just nice to be able to say “I did that!”.

Same reason I look in the toilet.

I have these, and I thought it would be neat to re-experience them a few months ago.

Wow, voice acting has changed in the last little bit, huh? I remember laughing along, but i couldn’t last for more than an hour with those voices.

I watched LTT for years, since we were the same age, and NCIX was my local computer shop.

I noticed a steep decline in quality as LMG got bigger, and a greater focus on personalities and entertainment rather than substance. There’s a market for that, and it appeals to the less knowledgeable or as an entry to tech as a hobby, or even people who just want tech-adjacent entertainment. I can’t deny the reach and impact this team has, but the content isn’t for me anymore.

I can’t stand this form of content, or the delivery, but it’s where audiences are so I’m willing to accept that I’m just old and lame.

Who’s job is it to teach common sense? If you find the future generation lacking, that’s probably your fault.

When I was a teenager, my dad gave me shit for not knowing how to change brake pads, and my response was “Who was supposed to teach me?”. Like, it’s not like I could afford a car working weekends, and he was always too busy to have me around whenever something went wrong. So next time he changed the brakes, he actuality taught me.

Ive changed my entire work flow because of this. On my laptop I use paperWM for infinite horizontal scrolling/tiling and “vertical” workspaces for organizing windows. Instead of minimizing windows, I just switch workspaces. Windows that need to be next to each other are on the same workspace, anything else is treated like a full screen app. It’s a little weird, but for productivity with a TouchPad it’s been an absolute game changer. Ican have a workspace dedicated to programming, obe thats just documents, one for each of my courses, one thats discord and music players, etc.

For a normal mouse, it’s a kafkaesque nightmare.

At one point I laid out the plan to isolate my trigger foods, but I’ve never been in a stable enough place that I can be picky eating. Working roasting shifts, moving around etc, makes it a pain to take care of my diet. I’m closer now to stability, but I’m going to university 30-40 hours a week and working 35-45 hours on top of that. Eating is more of a calorie thing than a thing i plan to do.

I admire your abilities. I still have to learn how to cook without garlic or onion. I keep saying ‘this is the last one’ but now I’m feeling like one of those smokers who can’t quit.

Man, in the eighties, the rapid development of Japan technologically and in corporate culture, we were convinced everyone was going to be working for some branch of Mitsubishi.

It was actually scary how fast they were developing tech, and how fast it was overcoming domestic appliances.

Isn’t this basically what all early cyberpunk boils down to?

Isn’t that what the Order of Odd Fellows is?

I love secret societies because they always remind me of LARPers. I used to go to this comic shop that held a Vampire:The Masquerade LARP thing, and they would all act secretive and sneaky, and come in the backdoor and things.

I have a ton of my blurays and dvds ripped to my media server, but there are some films that aren’t worth the size. Anything recent that makes use of 4k/surround i like to watch on disc rather than take up 50GB on my drive. H265 makes this a little more bearable, but I’m also really lazy and I don’t watch the high bitrate stuff THAT often.
