  My guy, can you point out the part that is not appropriate? Is it the hearts? I’m genuinely confused.

  That’s likely the case, but the clock application is very much something I would not only expect to come with the operating system, but would consider it a solved problem in the first place. I should not need to look for a FOSS clock. It should be standard feature everywhere, and just work. I could have whipped out a passible clock app second year of university.

  I would argue it depends where you live, and the cost of living in that place. There isn’t a specific dollar value, but it’s simply the ability to live comfortably and take care of yourself properly. If you made $100k USD/year in one of the more poor countries of the world, you’d be considered fabulously wealthy and could buy pretty much anything you could ever want. That would be well in excess of being able to live comfortably.

  It’s catch and release, not life long milking. Granted, the survival rate isn’t as high as I’d like (70-90% apparently), but I do also appreciate having safe injectable medicines. All things considered, with a species bias, I’d prefer dozens of humans live at the expense of a… Not crab. Unfortunate though it may be. I can’t also help but notice you’ve anthropomorphised them a bit. I’m certain these creatures respond to negative stimulus, but attributing fear and life long trauma seems to be giving their intelligence a bit of an unfounded boost.

  And some fucks in Alberta want the US system because “I never get sick! My taxes are paying for someone else to be sick!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here's a historical reference for any history buffs out there.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ancient torture/execution method. Tie you to a boat (or trap you between two boats) and stuff you full of milk and honey, then pour some on you for good measure. The idea is that there are many biting insects and unpleasant things that will be attracted to the milk and honey. Being tied/trapped means your hands aren’t free to deal with them. Secondly, a large amount of milk and honey is a really good way to get diarrhea. So eventually, you’ll have to deal with that, and biting insects are more likely to swarm around you if you’re covered in literal shit. The victims usually die from exposure, but they will have an exceedingly unpleasant time before they expire. Very common to have… Soft tissue areas… Completely consumed before death.

  You didn’t need to be a dick, you know. You chose that for yourself.

  Oh man, my wife bought a 2023 Rogue, and the seatbelt notification goes off for all three back seats, even if no one is back there! And you can’t turn it off! The dealership recommended just buckling all the back seats by default. It is, by a pretty wide margin, the most irritating thing about that machine. I understand the frustration. I guess I’m more diligent about the front seat buckles, because I’ve never even seen the front seat buckle light.

  FOSS wasn’t specifically mentioned, but jailbreaking was. I’m sure most FOSS stuff would be fine, passed a certain point like you said. I’m from an era where jailbreaking and installing whatever you’d like on a device was the wild west, and have seen nasty stuff accidentally sideloaded. Giving people the option to infect their cars with ransomware could get people killed, so not opening that can of worms isn’t the worst idea necessarily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New cars are great...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But… you should really wear a seatbelt. Actually, haven’t cars been giving users seatbelt alarms for like… over 30 years now? It’s a strange hill to die on, friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New cars are great...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, absolutely. I do not, however, like the idea of “Pay us $1M or we disable your brakes on the highway” kind of ransomware attacks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But my WiFi is just fine!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Real talk though, I own that router and it’s awesome. Can’t say the wifi signal is much different than any other router I’ve owned, but it’s got loads of awesome features I use for hosting stuff. DDNS support plus Let’s Encrypt plus OpenVPN support in one box. Very handy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wreck the economy because it only works for the billionaire class.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Currency is a very useful tool to gauge the worth of dissimilar items used for trading. It’s a trait known as fungibility. Without it, we’re in full barter mode. The barter system is… deeply flawed for one reason. If you don’t have anything the seller wants, you’re SOL. You wanna buy food, but don’t have gold, silver, or a skill that the food vendor needs? Well, you’re going to be hungry. Abstracting value to a useless piece of paper that denotes a value, and is enforced by the power of the land (a government) means that paper can buy food, shelter, comforts, whatever you need. It’s an objectively better system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopping at Target⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is the employees responsibility to make sure the store looks nice, sure. It’s basic human decency to respect people and not make them do bullshit tasks because you’re too lazy to put in the bare minimum.

  You’d be agitated too if someone came to your work, threw all your shit on the floor and walked away. Now it’s your problem to deal with, but it didn’t need to be. Someone decided they wanted to choose being a cancer on society and make it your problem.
