No sense in trying to dictate what dicks are allowed to do, that’s a job for God and the Church! Haha bazinga.

That’s just a web search, we already have had that for decades and it didn’t require nuclear-powered datacenters

I didn’t even know “private” posts were a thing on the fediverse but now I guess I know to watch out for that. Maybe I’ll post some privates after losing about 30 lbs

- Comment on Thinkpad for the win 3 weeks ago:
I gave my old macbook air to my kid for Minecraft and he dropped it several times, still just fine with no problems. Also my 10 year old macbook pro still works perfectly fine with a quad core i7 and 16GB RAM for anything I need a laptop to do. Still has the original battery with decent runtime too.

Bandcamp is great for music downloads
- Comment on Next week, Amazon is stripping away your ability to download your ebooks. 1 month ago:
It depends, sometimes you can “buy” digital ownership from these places in the form of DRM-free files. If you are able to download the DRM-free file and make a reliable backup of it, then I could call that actual ownership. This is how I approach my music and ebook libraries. I don’t do subscriptions for streaming anything but TV.

Correct, the Nazis are occupying the White House currently. The USA lost the Cold War when orange hitler was elected and continued to kiss the ass of Putin.
- Comment on Amazon is changing what is written in books 1 month ago:
You can even buy books directly from publishers. Recently I wanted a hardback copy of a book and it was out of stock, backordered, or absurdly high priced on all the big popular online places. Ended up ordering it for MSRP from Penguin Random House direct.
- Comment on Is it time to ring the alarm on internet door cameras? 1 month ago:
-
To get a camera with RTSP or ONVIF (video stream output) support, you look at the specifications of cameras that are available for sale. Web search engines should be helpful for this pursuit.
-
To get the surveillance functions of your camera streams (recording, alerts, etc) you install software on the Raspberry Pi that aggregates and records / analyzes the camera feeds. Zoneminder, Shinobi, and Motioneye are some examples of that kind of software.

It’s not that hard, and you only need cameras and the raspberry pi.
Pretty much any wifi camera that supports standards like RTSP or ONVIF can be made to work with open source camera stuff on the Pi. Also you can store the videos on the RPi’s storage (USB or SD)

It would be pretty cool to me, and I would prefer not to attach machines to my eyeballs

I would much rather have that in a pair of lightweight glasses than contacts. Put the Zoom button on the glasses arm near the temple, and Go-Go Gadget binoculars
- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 1 month ago:
Yeah WTF is up with that? My car does the same thing with a USB drive full of songs. It will literally play the same “shuffled” sequence over and over every time you drive. I have to take out the drive and change the files on it sometimes to make it actually Shuffle the songs’ order and that’s too much BS

Reminder that the CISA group investigating Salt Typhoon was disbanded by the current nazi administration. Quite disturbing to think how many devices might still be compromised while the investigation has been abandoned.

Nope only 23% of Americans voted for the nazis. 77% of Americans either didn’t vote, voted for Harris (or others), or were ineligible to vote.
- Comment on There’s No Dancing Around It: Apple’s Vision Pro Was An Ugly Dud 2 months ago:
It’s really weird how you keep making this discussion about me as if I am the VR. It doesn’t matter to ME that you are choosing to miss out on something great, so my skin is not part of the equation at all. I’m just here to let people know that you’re wrong and that people can have a cool experience with that technology.
- Comment on There’s No Dancing Around It: Apple’s Vision Pro Was An Ugly Dud 2 months ago:
There’s the douchebag who shows up every time to shit on good technology because it’s not catering to their whims perfectly.
If you want that software, get to fucking work on it then. Make some kind of contribution beyond shitting on things.
- Comment on There’s No Dancing Around It: Apple’s Vision Pro Was An Ugly Dud 2 months ago:
It’s fine if you don’t want one, but my VR headset get used daily and was a great investment. Once you get used to good VR games, the rest of the video games in 2D just begin to pale in comparison. One example is Assetto Corsa (racing sim) which I could not win any races in in 2D standard mode, but when I played in VR my 3D sense of distance allowed me to actually race competitively enough to win for a change. Also it’s just pretty rad to drive racecars in full 3D view, getting the full experience of moving at high speed.
And it’s absolutely not true that there’s “no applications” for VR. You just don’t know about them because you’re against it. In my household the primary applications are gaming and exercise. There are a number of VR games that require the player to physically move a lot, enough to break a sweat on every session.
IMO the only thing wrong with Apple’s Vision Pro is the high price. I spent $1000 on my VR system and that was a lot. So when you get into the triple-thousand dollar ballpark, your market is just too tiny to grow into anything soon.
- Comment on AT&T says it won’t build fiber home Internet in half of its wireline footprint 3 months ago:
AT&T always sucks. Worst ISP I ever had.
They hate building anything that benefits the public. They will always not improve the infrastructure if they can avoid it.
