• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t that partly because the US has like 52 sets of law (50 states, DC, Fed) and maybe more (County/Parish, etc)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone in tech confirm?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope.

  Grew up having a huge garden (~1 acre) to help feed us all. Last thing I want to do is farm later in life, fuck that.

  I’ll keep a small garden, but keeping any animals is right the fuck out. I know first hand how much effort it all is.

  Tech is fine - in the end it’s like any other work… You’re a salesman for your field, regardless of what it is. Plumbers have to educate every customer, because most people know fuck all about plumbing.

  If it were me they’d still be there!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Attention Whore is what we used to call such people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They do?

  Think we need some examples

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a uBlock Origin filter or extension for LLM slop in search results⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see anything like this in search, even DuckDuck.

  What do you have on that you see this? (Or what have I turned off?)

  I do use Ublock and Noscript, but they don’t list anything to block on search engines, really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats a good and proper alternative google message thats clean but better with privacy? - for texting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost any messaging app is better, the question is what do your friends use, and can you get them to switch.

  I’m a fan of XMPP because it’s an established protocol you can host yourself (if you wanted) - this removes untrustworthy providers.

  It’s really what’s your goal?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are New Appliances So Bad? [41:02]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Planned obsolence via shoehorning crap connected tech into things that can run fine with controls from 1947 that will last 50+ years and are easily replaced with commodity components (relays) at any time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, bye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is eyemaxxing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To them, you can hold eye contact, so it’s working as they prefer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black printhead was clogged. I replace it and now the color printhead is completely missing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or inkjet in general.

  Fuck inkjets

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Busted box inside of a pristine Amazon box⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve used a DeLonghi espresso machine ($100) for close to 20 years now. My first one lasted 15 years.

  It’s not perfect, but just about the best bang-for-buck on the market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Busted box inside of a pristine Amazon box⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not even that particular a out coffee, and I’ll be damned if I’m doing instant all the time.

  I keep some around for emergencies, but otherwise it’s espresso/cappuccinos for me. A decent machine can be had for $100

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Less intuitive for morons who never learned anything anyway.

  Are YOU going to pay for the conversion?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is hatred/dehumanization of the working class so prominent in the UK, when about 60% of the UK population is working class?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Quit posting this nonsense under different accounts.

  Chav is NOT a derogatory term for working class folks.

  This is what I’m going to reply every time you post this garbage.

  The Cambridge English Dictionary defines chav as “an insulting word for someone, usually a young person, whose way of dressing, speaking, and behaving is thought to show their lack of education and low social class.”

  dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/…/chav

  It’s based on behaviour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He wants chavettes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is hatred/dehumanization of the working class so prominent in the UK, when about 60% of the UK population is working class?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gonna need a source.

  Also chav /= working class, no matter how much you make this claim and continue to post it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s closely related to people with tens of thousands of emails in their inbox,

  Nope.

  I have a half dozen email address, about 20 aliases.

  My inbox rarely has even 5 unopened emails.

  I have 100+ tabs on desktop, over 100 on phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was programming long before PC’s existed.

  You’re paradigm of the world isn’t everyone’s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tab History shows every instance of a tab, not just 1 for the 300 times you visited it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same problem as bookmarks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My bookmarks are organized. Haven’t used any of them in 10 years.

  It’s a great idea that I like, it just doesn’t work for me.

  Tabs in the sidebar do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you admit to doing the same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good for you.

  I simply scroll down my tab bar to what I’m looking for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because, shockingly, not everyone sees the world the way you do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hahahaha, right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Black Friday deal for loyal/previous customers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Check into USMobile - they’re effectively a reseller of services on all the major networks, for far less.

  I’ve traveled across the US using it, and I see it connect to different vendor towers (Verizon, ATT, etc) with 5g a lot of the time.

  At home my phone shows US Mobile, as soon as I leave I get Verizon 5G.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doing it safely is pretty simple.

  Install Tailscale at both ends. Done.

  It’s a fully encrypted mesh VPN.

  If you need access without the TS client on the other end, that takes a little more work. Then you need to enable the Funnel option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Downloading Blue Brixx manuals requires an account⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol.

  Well I hope you share that manual everywhere you can think of
