- Comment on Greg Abbott hits back at Jasmine Crockett for mocking his wheelchair use: ‘Nothing to sell but hate’ 2 days ago:
“I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition — I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors,” she wrote in a statement on X. “Keep that same energy for all people, not just your political adversaries.”
I could believe it, but it’s still bad taste in general to try mimicking the Trump approach. It’s bad optics, and name calling will only open a person up for a riposte. It’s always a bad idea to use a bully’s tactics because the bully has already thought through what they would do.

- Comment on Troy McMillan can't be bothered 1 week ago:
I understand that the language was polite, but in context it feels as if a student asks a question that was recently answered.
“That is a function of this process, and I described it earlier in class. Please check your notes for that answer.”

This is apparently what appears when searching sybex server plus.
- Comment on Troy McMillan can't be bothered 1 week ago:
I am actually focusing on getting my server plus, so while it would be helpful, it might be focused on a single aspect.
- Comment on Troy McMillan can't be bothered 1 week ago:
Do you have a recommendation for server plus? I’m not too deep into this one.

It would make more sense to have a deeper discussion later but… here is the table of contents.

- Comment on Printers start speaking in tongues after Windows 11 update 2 weeks ago:
Had a couple affected. Only user to be upset was someone who prints checks. Moved the printer to Ethernet instead of USB. It was no longer an issue.
Problem happened every time the printer reconnected to the computer, which happens several times an hour because HP printers don’t stay sleeping.
This problem has been brewing off and on for a few months. This is the first time I have seen it with symbols.

Assuming you mashed it well and injected it with a baster you might get something off it.
Assuming you make a habit of this, your hygiene may become a bit looser.

- Comment on CAPTCHAs are 'a tracking cookie farm for profit that made us spend 819 billion hours clicking to generate nearly $1 trillion for Google 1 month ago:
It checks user agent to see if you are using something generic in a user agent switcher. It gives me fits sometimes if I leave it on chrome from Firefox too long.

If you send an open letter and it gets enough views.
- Comment on What are the possible ways a computer can kill you? 1 month ago:
I actually did #2 because I was fixing one. If you REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING and have ALL THE TOOLS AND PROCESSES NECESSARY and the power supply is worth a few hundred dollars, it MIGHT be worth it.
Guess what? I still blew one up.
Stay safe friends. Recycle it and buy a new one.

Sorry you have to keep your head down like this. I hope you feel safe. Save texts like this somewhere safe, three places at least.
Life will get better. This man’s shade may haunt you, and I suggest you get therapy for it. You don’t have to be him, and once you are on your own you can call him whatever you want.
- Comment on "Meta and X are going rogue:" European Digital Rights group (EDRi) urges EU to invest in infrastructure "like Mastodon, Peertube and other key pieces of the Fediverse" to secure Europe's independence 2 months ago:
There could be a user-centric back end that you could tie in to an account, if it matters. You would export your history to the backend and then log in to the data from the new frontend. That prevents a denial of service caused by numerous large data collections attempting to forward their data all at once.
That then causes me to wonder if data could be hosted separate from the services. That would mean that there would have to be individuals willing to provide that storage and bandwidth.

Have you ever seen the advertisements on the pirate bay? There is a market for everything.

Defederated from instances that federate with and support Turkish laws? I don’t like it, but it makes sense.
That makes me wonder if it is possible to federate with a and b, who are not federated, and not pass traffic between.

Suppose the fediverse becomes widely used. At some point, people will figure out how to profit from it. Although it is a decentralized platform, I can see particular instances becoming dominant and walling off other instances.
How can we prevent users from being stuck behind walled gardens like this? Is it possible to make accounts portable, so if a particular instance becomes unusable one could easily move between them?

- Comment on New Google TV update will track your movement 2 months ago:
I was referring to running a second device. Running the TV off osmc would rock, but not happening.
Frustrating fact: I have to wait for my LG TV to boot. It shows a picture, but takes a minute to load the OS and produce sound.
- Comment on New Google TV update will track your movement 2 months ago:
I would gladly factory reset my television and run off osmc or something if that becomes the norm.
- Comment on Is it unsafe to use a tablet with a big dent in the middle of it? 2 months ago:
I’m not concerned either. Think about the compression on batteries before they pop the case.
You should worry more about tears in the outer lining of the battery. The dent might damage that cell, leading to bloating. If you consider the life of the tablet, it might just expand anyway. I say use it now while you can.

I abandoned Newegg because of all the negative comments about not being able to return stuff.
- Comment on Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again 2 months ago:
I found that sometimes I need the right terms to find what I need. I’ll search several times in rapid succession to narrow down what I want.
I wanted an oversized hoodie for my wife that didn’t look like ass and didn’t choke her.
Started with oversized hoodie, oversized woman’s hoodie, oversized hoodie deep neck, finally oversized hoodie v neck was what I wanted. Then I scrolled a few pages to see the options.
It’s really bad though when looking for memory or storage. 1TB nvme? That works. 1TB SSD? Nope. 1TB SSD SATA mostly works, just have to make sure it’s ACTUALLY 1TB.

It’s nice to find the rant in your head written out. A previous employer of mine dropped two properties in favor of a store front.
