  Complain that other people aren’t doing anything, apparently

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s expanded Find My Device network might arrive in a few days⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO Tile is fine because usually you forget where something is because you left it there, and so your phone will tell you where you left it, you really only need a network if the thing moves after you left it somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI collapses media reality with Sora AI video generator | If trusting video from anonymous sources on social media was a bad idea before, it's an even worse idea now⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I think we’ve been there for a while. The only difference now is that it’s very easy for anyone to fake something, which might actually force us to face it? Or not who knows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I reduced the size of my very first published docker image by 40% - A lesson in dockerizing shell scripts⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah in a PR I would probably reject this for being too clever. Before clicking I expected the image to start at 100mb or more, but it’s already under 50, who cares at this point?

  You can use sailboats if you want, no one is stopping you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Linux is Best for Most People⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I agree, when old people have trouble using an iPhone which is one of the simplest OSs to use, there’s no way that they can use Linux, yes it’s good but it’s not as simple to use as an iPhone. And they can get help with their iPhone from anyone, or at the Apple store, there’s no Linux store they can get help from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why docker⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  1 is just not true sorry. There’s loads of stuff that only work as root and people use them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why docker⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  About the trust issue. There’s no more or less trust than running on bare metal. Sure you could compile everything from source but you probably won’t, and you might trust your distro package manager, but that still has a similar problem.

  I use a k8s Cron job to execute backups with Kopia. The manifest is here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What site can I use to find if games will run on my computer?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just, uh, borrow them from a friend to see how they work on my rig, nothing else will give you a better representation, everything else will just be a guess.

  Hi Tim

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 end of life could prompt torrent of e-waste as 240 million devices set for scrapheap⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, no one actually cares. Just look at phones, people don’t actually stop using them when they aren’t supported and don’t care as long as it keeps working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's remember some Star Trek games⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So many hours, 1 and 2. Plus loads of mods.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek Resurgence Giveaway⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Man what games didn’t I play as a kid.

  • ST Armada 1 and 2 (FleetOps)
  • Birth of the Federation
  • ST Borg
  • Elite force 1 and 2
  • The DS9 FPS which I forget the name
  • Bridge commander
  • ST Dominion War
  • Starfleet command 3

  There’s probably some I’m forgetting. I’d have to say Armada 2, man I played so many hours of that game. Played around with mods as a kid too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pluralistic: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing" (08 Dec 2023)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree love being able to just download games.

  But with those old games, I’ll bet most of them you could play again via an emulator or something similar.

  Oh you’re right, I’m not sure what I was Ln thinking

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨isEven API⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
