  I’d be fine. If my email provider goes away, my troubles are over, because my email provider is me!

  That’s a man who knows his game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Laugh away! Especially since I didn’t suggest anything!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  people would rather deal with all that, then switch to Linux

  Most people would rather deal with nothing. Most have a passing familiarity with Windows because they had to use it for work or school. But it’s not like they went out and specifically ‘learned Windows’. Most people just don’t give a shit about how a computer works and want it to just do the stuff they want it to do with as little knowledge required as possible. If they have to let the corpos spy on them, oh well.

  For the other 4% of people, there’s Linux!

  You must not browse All much then. There’s a community here called LinuxSucks which I ended up blocking because it just wasn’t very funny but holy hell they were on a posting spree the other day.

  my Mac

  I have no desire to talk about my OS

  Cause. Effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitwarden Makes Change To Address Recent Open-Source Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bitwarden can be fully self hosted, I’m doing it. My Bitwarden server doesn’t (and can’t) talk to them at all as it has no way to access the internet. They know nothing about my deployment except that I signed up for a free license key.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh. Never had an issue even with nice shoes. I guess I just have slippery feet.

  I actually do have some joint hyper mobility so maybe that’s why I don’t see the utility of it? Dunno.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised so many people here use them. I remember seeing one in my grandparents house in the 80s and thinking it was a relic then.

  From dress shoes to hiking boots to sneakers to you name it, I’ve never needed assistance getting a shoe on or off. What is their purpose?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Largest retail breach in history: 350 Million "Hot Topic" customers’ personal & payment data exposed — as a result of infostealer infection.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How the fuck does Hot Topic even have 350 million customers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Update: Bitwarden posted to X this evening to reaffirm that it's a "packaging bug" and that "Bitwarden remains committed to the open source licensing model."⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Turning around in circles maybe.

  Don’t forget the lesser known Sam Shiftman and Sam Ctrlman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Shanara chronicles, too.

  Yep, they visit ruins in one series that is pretty clearly the ruins of Tacoma or some place like it.

  Terry Brooks happens to live in that area. Coincidence? :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russian authorities prepare to block Discord.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are plenty of red states that have started to censor what kids can be taught in school and what books libraries can have, and when they don’t succeed they just shut the library down. It’s been all over the news for the last few years so I’m surprised you haven’t noticed.

  That’s censorship of the worst kind. Free access to knowledge is the foundation of freedom. Without education, the populace becomes much easier to control by those that seek to do so through nefarious means.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Raise Wages? No Need — McDonald’s Is Hiring Inmates Instead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. My first thought wasn’t “No way” it was “I need to look that up”. It was only your disclaimer at the end that made me realize. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Raise Wages? No Need — McDonald’s Is Hiring Inmates Instead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I know which one it is but I won’t spoil it. I know because I was like “wait what, that would definitely have been on the news and everyone at work would have been talking about it.” I work with that company quite a bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s cool as shit, I didn’t even know that existed. I’ll be switching. Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I stopped using it after the third time it just wholesale made up powershell cmdlets that don’t exist.

  Until it has fidelity it’s just a toy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What the hell is Microsoft doing to VS Code? Are they going to REQUIRE copilot or something? I’d I have to give it up I’ll be sad.

  The only thing that can stop a bad cop with a gun, is a good cop with a gun.

  But they don’t exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Model collapse” threatens to kill progress on generative AIs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, that’s not what direct contact means when discussing contagion:

  www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7150340/

  Ingestion is not ‘direct contact’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Model collapse” threatens to kill progress on generative AIs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Contagious means you can get it from direct or indirect contact with another person or organism that is infected. Not from eating them.

  That is not possible with prion disease.

  Ingesting a Petri dish full of flu virus doesn’t make the Petri dish ‘contagious’.
