  Get in line!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My secret reason for loving Criterion Collection dvds/bluray⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And this is why I rip and stream from my own (Jellyfin) server. None of that nonsense, direct to the video.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My life has been way better since I started keeping a cursory view of headlines once a day⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Forty years ago you still had the daily paper and the Sunday paper.

  Even then you only needed the Sunday.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They do?

  Seems an idd take considering the videogame market is so massive.

  Wonder who’s buying all those games?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Touch Screens Are Over. Even Apple Is Bringing Back Buttons.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want buttons on my phone too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone recommend a logging blood pressure cuff that doesn't require an app or account?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d you’re in a hurry messing BP, it’s not going to be a good measure. Just a thought

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Will Be Ending Support For This Popular Software In October 2026 - SlashGear⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They didn’t make Publisher, it had been around for a few years before they acquired it.

  At the time (early 90’s), DTP was growing, fast. Publisher was stupid cheap compared to Aldus and Quark and could do all the day-to-day stuff for a fraction of the cost (and faster).

  I was using all 3 at the time, and my go-to was Publisher as it was easier, and way faster on the hardware then.

  I’d use PageMaker for multi-page, ongoing docs, but a single page? Publisher.

  MS acquired Pub around 1995.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendation for Android File Manager⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used ES File Explorer for 10 years before finally giving up on an old, pre-enshittified version, and switching to Mix.

  I don’t love it, but its the best out there today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because Word is not a page layout program.

  It’s a document program, so functions via the concepts of document management, not page layout.

• ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨don't tell the cable company about the splitter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it were me they’d still be there!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Attention Whore is what we used to call such people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They do?

  Think we need some examples

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a uBlock Origin filter or extension for LLM slop in search results⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, bye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is eyemaxxing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or inkjet in general.

  Fuck inkjets

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Busted box inside of a pristine Amazon box⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He wants chavettes

• ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was programming long before PC’s existed.

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