You know why the Sunday paper is bigger?

Mine told me I can have gigabit fiber, or static IP on 50mb/s copper, but not both, because something something piracy.

I’m interested in your opinion about the term enshittification. It’s a Doctrowism and even though it’s a little imprecise, frequently misused/understood, a little childish, and it isn’t my first choice, it’s the term that took off. Do you know a better phrase? Not trying to put you on the spot. You always have good takes.

As with many things there’s a spectrum from intentional malice to not being paid to care to not even considering it.

I think especially in laptops not having that feature is really missed by even a lot of “normal people” and the necessary hardware would cost what, a couple dollars max?

I think the fact that other methods (WiFi direct, Bluetooth file sharing, etc) are so poorly or slowly supported, when the “how do I get this file to you?” question is so common, is evidence enough to suggest that there have been a number of conversations following this form at various companies.
“Let’s support WiFi direct”.
“Why would anyone want that when they have onedrive/icloud? wink nudge”

I am pleased to hear it’s coming with USB 4 however. Maybe the sneakernet isn’t dead afterall.

Thank you! Same for phones. Why don’t you give me 2 USB C ports if you must take away my headphone jack? What if I want to change and listen to music?

Also it’s the highest form of bullshit that I can’t just plug two computers into each other with a USB C and transfer a file at like 10 gb/s.

In fact I have a conspiracy theory that they intentionally make sharing a file directly between two devices with no 3rd parties difficult so they can control and surveil what is shared more easily.

All the materiel we’ve been sending Israel is just piling up in a warehouse somewhere unused you see.

isn’t doing nearly enough and is way too late.

What’s the last time you could accuse a Democrat of doing “too much and too fast”? Never? Starts to paint a picture that maybe they’re doing a deliberate go-slow and don’t actually care about doing anything 🤔

Ten years ago my rice cooker was “AI” because it used “fuzzy logic” to keep the temperature in a certain range.

Don’t think computers are satanic? Try pouring holy water on one and see what happens.

Recently they’ve started intentionally reducing print quality with third party toners.

I guess that’s fair, except the bit about “poorly documented”. It’s one of those things though, where you look back and think “yeah that was definitely worth learning”.

Asking out of curiosity, why are you so averse to using the terminal?

I don’t know, I suspect if a white kid threw a rock at a cop here and got shot there would be a sizable number of

“Play stupid games…” posts

Remember the white guy who got shot AFTER the police said on recording that he was holding a PHONE and one of the defenses used was “The phone could have been used to activate a bomb”? After that I’m ready to believe that USians would side with the cops no matter what.

Me, every day: Damn I lost my phone again, better ring it (with KDE connect <3)

Me, 2 seconds later: Oh fuck who’s calling??

You know those earplugs with the small hole down the middle and like 4 sections? You can still hear people talk pretty well with them in IME.

The first movie fell flat primarily, as every dune fan will tell you, because it stopped before anything actually happened. Also, as any dune fan will tell you, it’s kind of not movie-able in a way, because being stoic and playing your cards close to your chest is the way all the dialogue is. Like 2/3rds of the book is internal monologue though which explains the actual depth of what’s being said and done from the perspective of everyone in the scene. Again I’m not saying anything that hasn’t been said a million times before.

I’m really liking the soundtrack as well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgzE2TeXCl0 It’s just something cool to watch on my 4k HDR TV I stole from the dump. (It has a tiny purple line of pixels that are always on through the middle and that’s the only thing wrong with it)

It’s like this but then if you read through god emperor and then think about it for another month it starts to make sense.

What’s in your chili? A pressure cooker has been a game changer for me. I usually make mine a little on the watery side and then throw in a handful of soy curls or TVP. It’s so low effort at this point it feels like cheating.
