Wait did you actually tip it and break it? That’s awesome I want to know this spite story is true.

I laughed so hard at this. Always love getting another take on the absurdity of treating the Bible as immutable knowledge.

Is this a righty tax since they are forced to buy a higher minimum quantity?
- Comment on [title] 1 week ago:
I can’t even get past Donald’s statement which is absurd to me. What actually is “material to the universe” and what difference does it make if my experiences are “material” or not?

What can then happen if someone narcs to the judge?
- Comment on Gold 1 week ago:
I haven’t decided yet where I am on the spectrum between “zero obligation to work = utopia” and “humans need to have something to do”. But you made me chuckle sardonically at the realization that people living off dividends and interest are functionally the same as a welfare queen.
- Comment on Gold 2 weeks ago:
I take your point that tech advancement without social progress can go awry. Automation replacing jobs at too rapid a pace feels like a very real threat to me right now. Maybe I’m biased by the last century where tech either lessened inequality or at least raised the standard of living for everyone, even if disproportionately applied across the population.
But yeah since tech advancement is accelerating, it seems more likely society will be unable to keep up.
- Comment on Gold 2 weeks ago:
I think it’d be more than incremental. Any place used use copper could likely have the gold upgrade. That’s all your wiring in your house and the EV market, maybe plumbing, heat pumps, and electronics too.
The headache would be all the power grabs (durrr it landed near my country so it’s mine) and the capitalist machine taking forever for the means of manufacturing to lower the cost of finished goods via genuine competition.

That’s pretty good actually.
- Comment on YouTube now 2 weeks ago:
Oh no! I thought it accessed some YouTube API that exposed the dislike data, but of course even if it did that, that data wouldn’t have dislikes from people that don’t have the extension!
The point is I’m now even more heartbroken about the loss of the Neutral video’s balance.
- Comment on systemd 2 weeks ago:
I’m a beginner to intermediate level home desktop user of Linux. I think I represent a small or at least low priority class of people with complaints, but for me it’s that it’s been confusing to learn how the distro is glued together.
I find sometimes things are handled in pre-systemd ways, sometimes with systemd, and sometimes custom scripts. Basically it is mentally hard having something on the system that duplicates functionality and not knowing which I should use to not clash with the vision of the distro maintainers.
Actually this is really a complaint about distro documentation not systemd. If you know of any documentation about the design decisions behind any major distro, I’m interested. Not forums where people piece together how to fix things, or wikis that document findings on how things behave in a distro. Something from the maintainers like, “Here’s are the scripts we added that are above/beyond the base distro (if Debian based) or above/beyond POSIX”. The only place I’ve seen this is Linux From Scratch.

Is the Winter and East thing a forced coincidence in search of the quadfecta, or is there actually colder climate in eastern China(?) ?
- Comment on When is the best time to leave your dog in the car without getting a window smashed from a wannabe hero? Info Inside 3 weeks ago:
I should have been more specific and less snarky. I think the risk scales with time frame.
If we can leave our dogs in our houses for several hours, I think it’s reasonable to leave our dogs in cars for several minutes (assuming climate control). I felt “Never” was too extreme.

Should you be allowed to leave your dog at home?
- Comment on Traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck driving above the speed limit or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. It belongs to an NYPD cop. 5 weeks ago:
Wait, I’m a zealous camera defender, what am I missing?
The one they put up temporarily by my kid’s school noticeably calmed traffic near it (myself included—I’m not perfect).

I guess? It’s a different species so I’m not sure I’d use that one.

That seems like such useless knowledge and yet I’m overjoyed I learned it.

Thank you!
I see that getting one with a power adapter increases the price a decent amount. Do the models without an adapter at least have a connector so I can provide my own?
- Comment on its actually worse bc ports are counted twice for 2.0 & 3.0 2 months ago:
Ok that was legit.
Do you had recommendations for powered USB 2 and 3 hubs that are decent quality? I’m so sick of plugging things in and they don’t have enough power.

OK I’m interested and promise to stay calm.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 2 months ago:
I’m still mystified as to how Brave took any market share. I thought there’s two camps: people who care about browser privacy and people who don’t. The latter crowd stay with Chrome or whatever their PC comes with. The former crowd…did I miss a memo on what was wrong with Firefox?

I kind of forgot about this angle. That rich libs in the middle classes are affected less than the lower classes that were duped. It’s all really shitty honestly.

Thank you so much for your response!
I feel the same way. I was looking into a Udemy course for those Cisco exams (not to take the exam, just to learn) and I was discouraged that the content is so vendor specific.
Do you have a recommendation on “neutral” learning? I have access to a fair amount of Udemy of that helps. Also happy to read static text, though preferably written as more of a tutorial than just a raw RFC or man page.
