unless you have nvidia. Fuck nvidia.

flips off in Torvalds

For me it’s funeral potatoes, or half the desert dishes from various potlucks that would happen in the chapel gym.

Jokes on them though, all those recipes are posted online now! Don’t need a temple recommend for that shit lol.

Yeah that’s pretty fucked. Who uses a brass toothbrush?

I’ve been using mine for 10+ years, maybe changing batteries once.

I currently use it with a NUC loaded with linux mint, and have the UI HD scaled (it’s an out-of-the box option).

The only native functionality of the actual smart tv that I use, is the power button.

Everyone has these feelings

Not me!

Rural public transport: Paved road^[1] and two feet!

[1]: Paved road optional

Yeah that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

(The idea’s that the company tanked, just like this tanker did.)

The front fell off.

and im sure youd complain about prices too

A universal claim only takes one case to disprove, and I’ll be that case: you’re wrong. I actually seek out the pay services and cut out the “free” ones.

My real complaint is when the huge companies offer a paid plan, but then still try to double dip and abuse my data and I. So I leave for the smaller guys who have an actual reputation to protect and so have garnered some trust. The hard part are things like google street view, or youtube, where competition is way behind due to the sheer inertia that incumbents have (e.g., creators using youtube due to the huge potential audience).

Other thing hard to ditch for me is android, as I really don’t like how tightly locked down apple’s walled garden is - not being able to run real firefox with my choice of extensions is a showstopper for any mobile platform.

13 Years, 300k+ karma. Haven’t been on reddit since Jun 30th, and I don’t plan on ever going back.

Ever since “new reddit”, I only ever used old.reddit with RES. The writing is on the wall, and old.reddit will soon be on the chopping block too.

Fuck the enshitification of reddit.

It can also happen if google can’t obtain/verify an id with their normal means (e.g. ip + browser type/settings + cookies + …).

I get challenged all the time and I’ve been on the same static consumer ip, but I go through some precautions to make it more difficult to id me (dump all browser state on restart, disable js except for trusted sources, ad blocker plugin, privacy conscious browser + settings, etc.). I still use a vpn in certain scenarios, but still get captchas either way.

*Applicable double penalty for door usage during peak utilization periods, weekends, and holidays. Doors left open will accrue triple penalties after the first 30 seconds, doubling every 30 seconds thereafter. Any attempts to circumvent usage rules forfeits half of remaining door credits; attempts include but not limited to: climbing out windows, busting through walls like kool-aid man, suicide, etc.

Last I read was that apple was going to throttle their usb-c ports being used with non-apple blessed cables. And those cables are supposed to be pretty spendy, as they’re going to be “apple taxed”, <cough> I mean certified as apple is calling it. I hope the EU puts the smack down on them for trying to create such a loophole in interoperability requirements.

Good ol’ Frank “Franky” Frankson. Not many people know it, but he’s actually the nephew Jimmy Two Times.

That’s pretty daring of them to do, they’re risking their severance package by so publicly making their former employer look so bad. Oh wait…

In a similar vein is to look for government auctions in town. I’ve got a major public university in my city, and it maintains a permanent auction warehouse. Like once a month they sell all kinds of stuff, from mini fridges to laptops by the pallet.
