That is the exact opposite of my experience. Of all the coworkers and friends I’ve ever had who worked in cybersecurity, one was a bootlicker, while all of the rest were at least three of transfem, furry, weeb, and anarchist.
- Comment on Save as PDF 1 week ago:
Oh I agree, I’m not saying that PDF is some sort of document format perfection. But it is a fully open one with a spec that fits in 250 pages, as opposed to docx’s 7500(!!) page spec with undocumented binary blobs mixed in.

I see you too are a person of culture.
- Comment on Save as PDF 1 week ago:
Are fine, but not 100% compatible with all Office files and very heavyweight for viewing a document.

What if I don’t want to spend several hundred dollars per year to use a proprietary program that doesn’t run on my computer just to look at some documents?

Are you implying there there are IC designers who aren’t lunatics?
- Comment on Why I gave up electronics club 2 weeks ago:
That depends, do you want high or a low side switch? There are valid reasons for either depending on what you’re doing.

Uh, I’m pretty sure that is a jacemat.
- Comment on How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election? 3 weeks ago:
I would also add that the presidents party almost always loses votes in the midterms. This is particularly true for republicans since 2016 because a lot of trump’s supporters only care about him and won’t bother to fill out a ballot without him on it.
- Comment on Anon recaps the DCEU 3 weeks ago:
Shazam was pretty enjoyable. It reminds me of good movies back when movies were allowed to be merely good instead of either amazing or terrible.

Take your pick: oil, trumps feeling were hurt by the Peace Prize committee, oil, trump trying to shore up support, oil, trump seeing just how much he can get away with, trumps ego, and maybe oil.

I’m pretty certain the this image is an AI retouch of this origional (click on the source for a much higher res version). It looks like it changed his nose, the texture of his skin, his outfit and a bunch of misc small stuff. Completely unnecessary slop.

Where did you get “he must be a woman” out of that?
- Comment on AI Electric Bills 1 month ago:
Oh! Planet Money just did a really good episode on this exact topic.
It’s complicated and I recommend a full listen to the episode, but the big two reasons are:
- The cost of building out all the new infrastructure is partially paid for by the data centers, but the majority is paid by all customers.
- The demand for electricity is growing much faster than supply can be built.
Those two, combined with the deregulation in most markets, has meant that the price for everyone is going up.

Taking a look at the bottom circuit, the killers on the left have the supply voltage across them, as does the resistive load. The ones on the right have fuck all going on, so may be a Magic Switch.

The planet getting hotter is a distraction from the oppression of the non-billionaires.
- Comment on How solar panels generate electricity 1 month ago:
They’ve gotten cheap, in fact, that the panels are sometimes less expensive than the labor and mounting hardware.
- Comment on Can't stop till brimstone 2 months ago:
“Salting the Earth” is an idiom that references possibly apocryphal stories of ancient warfare where an invading army would literally put large amounts of salt or salt water in the enemy’s fields so that they wouldn’t be able to grow crops. This was done to make sure that the population couldn’t rebuild and become a threat in the future. Nowadays it is used to mean that someone is making really, really sure that something is destroyed and not coming back.

What?!? Someone played with the English language in order to make lyrics rhyme and scan? How terrible!! glances at Shakespeare

Whenever my ex was low on gas she would park in the driveway in such a fashion as to block me in so I would have to move her car and probably end up just taking it in to work and get gas on the way home.

I mean, I’m pretty upset that I won’t be able to see a living pentaceratops, seismosaurus, or T-Rex. So, no, I think it’s fine.

I know you’re joking, and that would be enough to get me to buy one even though I don’t really have a use case for it.

Fucking steam web helper. I’ll have locked my desktop machine and switched my KVM to my work laptop when suddenly the fans spin up. I switch back over and it’s multiple steam processes each using a full core. WTF?!? I’m looking up how to have the lock screen also ‘kill all -9 steam’ to keep it from happening.

Sure is a good thing that you don’t have any hobbies that use any resources whatsoever otherwise you’d seem awfully hypocritical complaining about someone with a checks notes gardening hobby.

It’s all good, most of the US doesn’t remember that NM is a state.
