I’m actually so incredibly lazy I use a firewalla purple. And I love it. You’ll never take it away from me! Hiss!!!

We americans have been conditioned to accept common means convenient.

It is of the utmost importance that you understand I see what you did there.

This has gotten easier as I’ve gotten older. I just don’t care for beef anymore. I’m not disgusted by it. I just prefer other things anymore.

Man, FireWire was such a cool name for an interface.

You would think after ditching a bunch of rich fuckers on an island they wouldn’t get another chance to try that again.

I like my home automation tech but it needs to serve a purpose. Just being connected to wifi is not a selling point for me. Lights that turn on in the morning when I need to wake up are great. A thermostat that can reduce energy usage when nobody is home is also great. But a grill….what the fuck does Internet access do to improve the grilling experience?

And if it requires the cloud to work, I don’t consider it a functional product.

But people in the real world don’t like talking to me.

Enter the calm and quiet room

Pass out torches and pitchforks, guns and knives

“Snaps exist”

War erupts.

I don’t understand the point of tailscale if straight WireGuard is so simple.

But how could they pull such a thing off? Those roaches would scatter before anything lands.

We need a hostile foreign power with nukes to take us out before we hurt anyone else any worse.

there is no company forcing you to do things their way

IBM would like to do have a few words.

That wiki is by far the best part of arch.

Yes and no. There are two reasons this half truth refuses to die.

1. IOS does this obnoxious thing after updates where it no longer trusts its index. It changed something about how the index works so rather than update the existing data to the new slightly different format, they say fuck it and reindex the entire phones data. This background process consumes battery and can last up to a week. So people notice the battery life get worse, but they never notice it getting better after the indexing stops and goes back to only noticing changes.
2. Apple had a big problem a while back where their phones could draw too much power from the batteries. It was fine when new, but as the battery aged, it wasn’t able to deliver stable power to the SoC under heavy loads, making the phone unstable and crashy. So apple just limited the max power the SoC could draw on phones where the otherwise perfectly functional battery could be pushed hard enough to cause problems. It’s annoying, and they could have been more clear, but the rationale was sound. Few will notice a slightly slower phone. Many will notice a phone that suddenly powers off when playing a game.

Apple does a lot of things wrong but they also do a lot of things right. We really need to pick more rational reasons to hate on apple if we ever expect them to give a shit about our opinions.

If this unintentionally regulates greenhouse gas emissions I’m going to laugh so hard.

Tampermonkey is a Firefox extension that can run scripts to interact with web pages. It’s great for bulk operations like mass deletes.

Reddit is intentionally holding onto my data. The are intentionally trying to keep it even though accounts go away. Since I’m an American in a red state there’s only so much I can do about this. But Reddit’s intentionally preventing my data from being deleted. This is intended behavior by their site.

Open source - probably some issues I’m too lazy to find but me and anyone else can search for and fix them whenever we want.

Closed source - there is no war in bah sing sei.
