Anyone surprised by this, hasn’t payed attention to any tech news in the past year.

With enough modding, you can technically turn your Civic into a pickup truck, that doesn’t mean a Tacoma is for suckers.

How does this compare to Helmarr?

You’re gonna need to elaborate on this one…

Guys I think I just found religion.

There’s no way that would be a viable career.

1. You’d have to reliably get interviews, which is hard enough as it is.
2. It’s a lot of work to do sustainably—more work than many jobs imo.
3. You get none of the other benefits of accepting the job.
4. Eventually you would run out of companies for which you were qualified, and you’d probably stop getting interviews.

Your argument sounds similar to anti-welfare arguments. Sure, some people may abuse the system, but it wouldn’t pay that well, and the positives to society would greatly outweigh any abuse.

I’d rather show people how to de-shittify their existing devices than create more e-waste.

I use a simple WireGuard VPN to use my home DNS when I’m out. This container from linuxserver.io was really easy to set up, and the WireGuard app works great on iOS/Android. You can even have it automatically turn on and off depending on your network.

I tried fancy mesh networks like Tailscale, but it was over-complicated for my setup and kept causing DNS issues. Some people find this works well for them, though.

Either way, you can go full self-hosted this way and save money.

FYI if you already have a Roku, you can block these with a network level ad blocker like Pihole.

Edit: Here’s a list of common Smart TV domains to block.

The first book burning where 0 knowledge is lost.

Really? Tell me why.

Seems cool, but the article is walled behind an account… :/

I thought n’tsync was delayed because when I asked about the release, the devs said it’s gonna be May.

I would actually support this if the code was generated by the Copilot plugin, but this is just adding a blanket “Sent from my iPhone” on all code commits wtf.

This, for sure, but if she wants to dance I’ll dance with her. 🤪

For serious, tho: people change.

You sound like one of my exes. -_-

Sounds like you’ve been listening to Linux Unplugged, ha. Drive support is generally good in my experience. If you’re going to buy one for writing, then I’d also recommend one that can be flashed with Libredrive. That way you can also rip encrypted BluRays and store them without DRM.

I haven’t used burning software in a long time, but you may have issues getting them in a format that will just play back normally on players, especially if you put a bunch of movies on one disc. I think they need some sort of menu system, but maybe some burning software can build a rudimentary one? idk

Optical archival storage is tempting right now because of the price, though it definitely is more of an archival solution. Good for long term cold backups, but not great for any data that needs to change, even infrequently.

There’s nothing MS can do to make me trust them again. They can “love bomb” all they want, but a toxic ex is a toxic ex.

Publicly traded corporations will always exploit anything and anyone they can get away with to maximize their profits. They will only improve just enough to trap you again, then the exploitation begins again.

Interesting! I’m glad the article didn’t jump to assumptions on how this is expressed in the population, as estrogen’s effects on the body are so complex.

Though I can certainly see how people might make those assumptions to suit whatever narrative they already believe.
