- Comment on If I wrote a script for a movie and sent it off to a studio or whatever. What prevents the person who recieved it from claiming it as their own? 3 days ago:
Well you’d need to paint him blue and have eiffel65 do the soundtrack of course.
- Comment on Why Big Tech’s Lobbyists Are Targeting Self-Hosted Servers 4 days ago:
I actually think of this often, if more and more people self host and go to Linux etc the big bois are gonna crack down and make it illegal, or infiltrate distros and repos with bad actors.
2035 bingo card: Linux and a nas makes you a terrorist. In America, this will surely happen.

Arguably even windows 95/98 was rediculously easy compared to dos or Unix systems before it.
Sit a kid down in front of a c64 with a manual and see if they can do anything on it. If they can read the manual that is…
Sure these systems are “obsolete” but the brain training is priceless. Kids now are training their brains to love ads and corporations. Its gotten super bad. And I’m not even an old person (just been into tech history my whole life) so its rediculous I’m even saying this.

I’m so sick of the propagandized term. Its not ai.

Yeah true. I’d still rather just pretend I’m Canadian

Now the orange felon has made it nearly impossible for americans to leave because the world hates our guts even more. I’d be embarrassed to even go to another country without a short that just says SORRYYYYYY on it.
- Comment on I subsist on caffeine alone 1 week ago:
Same. Sometimes I feel better with less hours myself.
- Comment on Anyone out there? 1 week ago:
Join the small comms. Block US, drumpf, ai llm, war, news, and then enjoy internet. Human brains can’t handle world news and aren’t supposed to. We are community oriented by nature.
- Comment on My 1TB hard drive took a crap reformatted it, lost all my info, and it works now. How do I use a cloud or drive online to backup my stuff so I am not relying just on physical and can dl anywhere? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I know. They were the best one I could find for the price that lets me sync folders like I want…I had backblaze, but they don’t support linux. and other backups are way too small for me. I need at least 6-10 TB (for work and personal files).

Yeah I heard that. I have it for a year but I’ll probably look elsewhere.

Oblivion just came out dude

You want something like backblaze or icedrive.
They’re not cheap anymore (thanks data centers) butnyoud usually want another physical backup and also the cloud. Dont fully trust cloud providers either.
- Comment on Is there a website that can tell you the new names to I guess "classify" people? Like the R word, or the N word or skin color or nationaility? For ex. Is African American still acceptable and so forth 2 weeks ago:
I see that
- Comment on Is there a website that can tell you the new names to I guess "classify" people? Like the R word, or the N word or skin color or nationaility? For ex. Is African American still acceptable and so forth 2 weeks ago:
Sure I get that. I’m thinking just in a situation where I am describing a stranger. Like “hey front desk person, a dark skinned man with a blue hat dropped his keys but I didnt see what room he went in. I have to leave so I’m leaving them with you”
- Comment on Is there a website that can tell you the new names to I guess "classify" people? Like the R word, or the N word or skin color or nationaility? For ex. Is African American still acceptable and so forth 3 weeks ago:
I think its better to just bypass all of that unless you actually know where they are from and just say, dark skinned fellow. Light skinned woman. There is nothing wrong with using a descriptor.

I find nothing wrong with mentally challenged.
Side note, this is one of the biggest reasons people hate the Left. Like, theres bigger shit to worry about than a word.
- Comment on Anon follows the rules 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, pisses me off they made me waste my young years thinking this. If only we could reset. Oh well, I still got time.
- Comment on How come when paying cash for gas, it is not like a coke machine where you can insert your money? And when it hits that limit it clicks off? 3 weeks ago:
No, you have to put the extra gas in your pockets for later, like a buffet

- Comment on Disc drive needed 4 weeks ago:
Yeah idk. Burned CDs can go bad easier ofc and theyre harder on lasers than factory made
- Comment on Disc drive needed 4 weeks ago:
I keep hearing this but Ive yet to find an unreadable disk. I think they are way more robust than most think. Same with vhs. Never had an issue even after being stores in non climate controlled storages for years.
- Comment on Disc drive needed 4 weeks ago:
Still doing it today. Its not an old thing. I have hundreds of Cds. Best form of physical media for me.
Especially with insanity HDD costs. I did the math, and while ridiculous, buying blank DVDs vs a 12 tb hard drive is only minimally more expensive and discs last longer. HDDs die all the time.
Obviously I still use drives but disks are definitely viable especially as data centers continue to ruin everything.

Yeah it was a bit douchey I agree haha.
Must have had an annoying intern that day 😉

“Why are you booing him, he’s right”
You may just not deal with these same insufferable young folks that actually ARE priveleged and are upset they dont get everything handed to them. I’m not talking about the average Lemmy user with a masters degree struggling to put in 400 job resumes. Not the same people.
- Comment on I need a break 4 weeks ago:
I mean, its predictable I would say I wasnt actually an idiot asshole at a young age. I always loved learning and could usually decipher wrong from right (in general at least). Maybe thats just cuz of the 'tism, but I was basically 40 when I was 9 😅
- Comment on I need a break 4 weeks ago:
As usual, young people are idiots 😅 I do the same. We dont need to be addicted to our phones. These kids cannot survive 5 minutes without it and it broke their brains.
Tech is fine. Addiction is not. This coming from someone with 20+ game systems and 200 steam games lol. And like 6 PCs. Tech and learning is great. Social media billionaire funded brainrot, needs to die.

Get a few CRT TVs. After a while you won’t be bothered by background noise 🫠
