Except this is the 6th recall this year

I’ll have you know I’ve never paid for Windows in my life!

And have to dig up even more earth using even more big machines? If you did a 50ft power line underground, that’s 50 ft of earth that has to be dug up, not to mention what happens whenever something inevitably goes wrong and you have to dig it all up again. Then you also have to bury transformers, which means you need to cool them.

There’s many, many good reasons that we use power lines over burying them. Mostly, power lines are so significantly cheaper and easier that it’s not even comparable. I’ve seen the bill when a buried fiber line gets broken. It is crazy expensive.

That’s what happens when a hard drive fails at some point in the boot. It isn’t a windows issue

This reminds me - I saw spinner wheels in public for the first time in probably 15+ years yesterday. I was genuinely shocked to see them. Man I hope they do not make a comeback.

I’ve been using Firefox on Android since it came out. I’ve had 0 issues.

And as far as I’m aware, the newest version of Android Firefox (previously called “preview” doesn’t use an ounce of chrome, even for temporary browser pages

Damn, just call me out dude

I’ll have you know I know exactly how to install Linux and simply choose not to!

(I ran Ubuntu for 3 years)

Firefox also has a mobile app with full extension support on Android, including uBlock origin

I’m not super familiar with cars either, but for people that are, things like the fuel door and cap are unique between different makes and models. If you stare at cars enough, you just kinda begin to know these things

To my knowledge, DNS blockers not only miss a ton of ads, they also trigger several false positives.

A better solution is to switch to something not chromium like Firefox or whatever alternative the next Linux person to read this comment recommends

I was just discussing with a friend of mine how we’re rapidly approaching the dead internet. At some point, many websites will likely just be chat bots talking to other chat bots, which then gets used to train further chat bots. Human made content is already becoming harder and harder to find on algorithm heavy websites like Reddit and facebooks suite of sites. The bots can easily outpace any algorithmic changes they might make to help deter them, but my fb using family members all constantly block those weird Jesus accounts and they still show up constantly

Yeah, but I think a droid with its miles of wire and circuits is far more impressive than a tech bro using chatgpt to build a front end for chat gpt

Funnily enough, the bot everyone identified as tik tok hasn’t hit me as far as I’m aware. It’s mostly been random LLM bots grabbing data to train.

I should specify - I have family of various, but typically quite low, technical skills and of various far distances apart that use the server. So it’s either walk them through getting the IP of every device they access with or driving up to about 8 hours away to do it myself.

I have family and friends that also access the sites contents, so that’s sadly not feasible without getting the IPs from dozens of different devices

Thankfully they haven’t bricked my modem yet, but it’s possibly worth looking into

My personal website that primarily functions as a front end to my home server has been getting BEAT by these stupid web scrapers. Every couple of days the server is unusable because some web scraper demanded every single possible page and crashed the damn thing

Automations great…

If there’s a plan in place to support the displaced workers. Right now, they’ll just be fired and the owners will keep making more money. Until there’s a support system in place for them, I’m with the workers 100% on not automating everything

There’s monster collecting and battling, something numerous other games have done.

That’s where the similarities really end
