- Comment on How likely will "Cloud Storage" eventually replace Local Storage? 6 days ago:
Yup, it’s why ASCII has weird characters like “carriage return” and “bell”

Terminals sent keystrokes to the mainframe, and the mainframe sent text back to the terminal. They used modems and serial connections
- Comment on How likely will "Cloud Storage" eventually replace Local Storage? 1 week ago:
It’s pretty funny how I’ve seen posts exactly like this one 10-15 years ago, and nothing has really changed that much from a consumer perspective.
It’s just simply cheaper, more reliable, and more convenient to have local storage.

I never salt my pasta water, and don’t miss it. It’s uncessary salt when the pasta and sauce have plenty anyway

If it has an HDMI port, it can be a dumb TV. Just don’t connect it to wifi, easy

Thanks for actually explaining it instead of downvoting me. Heaven forbid I’m not aware of every micro-connotation caused by the current depressing news cycle

Where did Musk come from? I don’t see any mention of it here
- Comment on is "oh boy" considered a gendered term? 5 weeks ago:
I got into an internet argument with someone who claimed similar with my usage of “dude.”
In the wise words of a great poet of our generation, “I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude, we’re all dudes, hey.”
I still use dude with everyone.

- Comment on Anon just wants some friends 1 month ago:
I always thank my friends for having a good time. It’s easy when saying goodbyes. “Hey thanks for hanging out, it was fun!”
- Comment on How do I... Do court? I didn't realize my license was expired and got pulled over. Now I have court tomorrow. 2 months ago:
Probably not. By the sounds of it, it’s “just” traffic court… You’ll be herded into a courtroom with a couple dozen others, and each of you will be called in turn to speak to the judge. Kinda like a pop quiz. You’ll be told your charge and be asked a few questions. If you’re polite and genuine you’ll likely get off easy, since people LOVE to fight back and dig their hole deeper.
Back in high school I was in a similar situation, and basically got it completely dismissed because I was young and it was my first ever infraction.
IANAL

- Comment on Replacing an old mini fridge 2 months ago:
The old adage “they don’t make em like they used to” heavily applies to fridges. Our 30 year old fridges in unininsulated garages (one at home, one at a workshop) keep going through all the abuse and neglect, but the 3-5 year old fridge in the kitchen always has problems. Replacing it with a different brand only slightly increased the reliability. I’d foot the electricity bill for peace of mind.

You can keep using win10 without security updates, just be smart about it. Have a good firewall, and just use it for gaming and bills or whatever and you’ll be fine

- Comment on How do I Graphene OS? 3 months ago:
…and GrapheneOS considers my phone end-of-life and support for it will eventually stop. So unless you just got a brand new Pixel… kind of a waste.
Hard disagree. Just because it stops receiving updates doesn’t suddenly make it useless

- Comment on How the fuck do you meet new people? 3 months ago:
Sooo I was kinda in your shoes a few months ago, and decided I really needed to do something about it before I lost my goddam mind. What I’m doing (and it’s kinda working) is to find a community that interests you, and persistently be involved in it. I personally found a streamer on Twitch and a few Discord communities, and hang out with those people by generally just being there and having small interactions with others. We watch the same things and play the same games in voice chat. You don’t have to be that guy that’s obnoxious and in everyone’s face, just pay attention to the people in these groups and be super friendly. I’ve found a few acquaintances and am working on knowing them better to become friends. You’ll remember names and interesting things about them, or be like me and take notes so you don’t forget lmao. Eventually, they’ll say “Hi <name!> It’s nice to see you again. How was your day?” and then you know you’re on the right track.
Socializing is hard, especially when you’re not used to it and in this online era. If you’re friendly and attentive, people will reflect that energy back to you, and you will form bonds. Good luck!
