  Minecraft server.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Password managers...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember learning about Shamir’s secret sharing, and indeed the concept is fascinating. I’m not sure passwords is the best use case of something like that, but I’m not against it in theory. On the other hand, I have thought about breaking my master passphrase into several parts (word 1 + word 2, word 2 + word 3, word 3 + word 4, etc.) and giving each two word segment to my siblings. If all my siblings minus one got together, say in the event of my death, they would have my full master passphrase to get into all the things I have protected behind it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Password managers...⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So your solution to password theft is to make sure other people have them?

  Surely you mean 2A?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you look over Wally's shoulder you will see the Munster house on Paramount back lot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Universal lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Incapable of expressing your option?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you get out of judging people for spending their own money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hilary can't catch a break⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That Trump sucking Clinton’s dick (both the homosexuality and the fact that it’s a Clinton) is more damaging to his base than raping children is really disturbing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Refrigerator ads are finally here!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is a perfectly placed ad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iPhone Pocket: $229.95⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Bag” is charitable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iPhone Pocket: $229.95⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a certain type of person who fanboys out toward Apple, and a certain type of person who buys things to show off as status symbols. I don’t think those types overlap much these days, which is why we’re seeing the iPhone Air fail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Kagy web browser worth it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an optional service, not baked into the core product.

  I’m the “anti-ai” person in my group of friends. Which isn’t strictly true, I’m bearish on AI, not wholly anti. I find Kagi’s separation appropriate, and actually finds some use (and better results than ChatGPT) with their AI assistant. It’s particularly useful for me debugging simple scripts and excel formulas.

  It isn’t perfect overall, but well worth the few bucks each month. It’s one of the only subscriptions I’m not actively trying to get rid of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is modern Punk?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a banger, I like it. Had not heard of him, but I’ll seek more out. Thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pronouns history⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How young do you think boomers are?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is modern Punk?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have some hope we’ll see it in young progressive “traditional country” artists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restroom Location⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  CCR has to be the band most unexpectedly from where they are from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m dangerously close to moving my gaming pc to Linux. What’s the consensus for the best distro for gaming?

  I’m comfortable enough with *nix, as my daily is MacOS and I have a home lab/server.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that this FSD mode comes with “more frequent lane changes” means it isn’t just keeping up with traffic. It’s designed to go faster than traffic. Stop making herr Elon’s points for him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not EU based, and not free, but I’ve been loving Kagi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Or better yet, ditch Google altogether.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They were forced to sell to a us based group.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable management is an art form⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think I’d count that as explicitly a physical bodily function.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable management is an art form⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tear ducts, sure. But eyeballs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable management is an art form⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What other functions do the eyes do than seeing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not implying anything. I’m explicitly saying just to use the website.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your bank doesn’t have a website?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But also, the correct answer is Devil's Due⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s such a weird choice to put “ships councilor” on the bridge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Cars Just Becoming Giant Smartphones on Wheels?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or the fully electric small truck Ford is working on.

  As proof of concept, Slate is cool. Up against a vehicle from an actual truck manufacturer, it’s probably a hard sell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No words⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for that context.

  I stand by my points that his comments were vile and inexcusable, and that he’s spend the better part of twenty years also feeling that they were vile and inexcusable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No words⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And I’m not trying to excuse the words or his behavior on stage. Only trying to acknowledge his behavior since the day after the incident and for the last 20 years as steadfastly apologetic. His words were wrong, and importantly he thinks so too.
