17·3 hours agoThe destination Waffle House was apparently in Rome, GA. I wonder where the origin “50 miles away” was?
Not because I believe he actually teleported, mind you, but because he was obviously driving while blackout drunk and I want him to stay the Hell away from me.
3·4 hours agoI somewhat hope that he did that as a demonstration of, hey, someone may do this because it’s hard for me to wrap my head around someone who uses a computer for a living, doing something like that.
Nope, he genuinely didn’t bother to understand the warning before typing it. He may use computers for a living, but that just means he has a lot of very ingrained Windows bad habits to un-learn.
It was some pretty big Internet drama when it happened and he’s still trying to defend himself from the near-universal lambasting he got for it. Although I included the link just in case, I’m kinda surprised you (being a person tech-savvy enough to be posting on Lemmy) didn’t already hear of it.
He’s actually making a second attempt to switch to Linux right now (four years later), initially picked Pop!_OS again, and had some more problems with it. 🤦 He has a second channel where he posts clips from his podcast, and he keeps whining about how the other people doing it with him are having little to no trouble and he’s just cursed, LOL.

So unless you’re going for an extremely high resolution on a really cheap monitor over a long distance
Speaking of “extremely high resolution on a really cheap monitor,” it took a solid decade and a half before I was able to buy a digital flat-panel monitor capable of resolution comparable to the analog CRT I was using in 2002. VGA was no joke!
(The only problem with QXGA on a 19" CRT, aside from the weight and power draw, was that in a world before decent high-DPI fractional scaling the text was too tiny to read easily. Other than that, it worked fine.)
Honestly, having to have the user type “I agree that I have verified the application i am trying to install is genuine and not a fraudulent app”
Ask Other Linus how well that sort of thing (“Yes, do as I say!”) works, LOL!
I agree with you that Google’s anti-competitive time delay BS is likely to be ineffective for its claimed purpose, but frankly, I don’t think any other reasonable (i.e. non-rights-infringing) strategies would be effective either. Honestly, there’s a limit to how much effort you should go through to save idiots from themselves – and how much annoyance you impose on everyone else in the process! – and I think we’ve already hit it.
The only thing I use my bank app for is to deposit checks. It can’t be done from the desktop because it needs the phone camera to take photos of the check.
Things like LineageOS are a workaround, not a solution.
The solution has to be legal, not technical. Companies have to be stopped from trying to fuck with users’ property rights in the first place!
I have never heard of any generative AI system capable of doing anything useful with 3D models. If you ever find one, PM me to let me know!
Everybody knew dot-coms in 2000 and houses in 2007 were bubbles, too. But they kept investing anyway, because they didn’t know when it would pop and FOMO is a helluva drug.
Also, something to keep in mind: https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2014/02/worlds-worst-market-timer/
Ask the bot to make it for you.
2·2 days agoI have a domain, but all I use it for so far is email (with an email provider, not my own mail server, hosted locally or otherwise). I’d still call that “usable,” though.
13·3 days agoMore than 450 current FSFE supporters who use automatic renewal with credit card or direct debit have been affected by Nexi’s actions.
EFSE has only 450 people giving recurring donations (using credit card or direct debit, at least)?! Never mind the payment processor bullshit, why aren’t more of y’all donating?
The only trouble is, that’s exactly why they would refuse to adopt GNU Taler.
And then there’s a follow-up scene the next day, where George tells “Calvin Klein” about the encounter.
Having George retell it worked way better than showing it directly, IMO.
The part that was actually in the released movie ends at 0:45. (You can also tell by the fact that the audio/video very obviously changes to daily footage at that point.)
See also the scene afterward where George tells “Calvin” about the encounter, which IMO worked way better than actually showing the rest of it:
If you can’t quote every line from memory, clearly you need to watch the whole trilogy again.
Oh man, I’m jealous. I only had two 19" monitors, and they didn’t match. I’ve still got them stored in the basement for eventual use in a retro game cabinet or something, but I’m kicking myself for not swapping them out for Trinitrons when everybody was throwing them out.
