  Because it is different for them. It’s justified for them personally. But everyone else is going to hell.

  I run opnsense, so I need to dump pi-hole. But I don’t have the energy right now to do that.

  Pi-Hole was pretty straightforward at the time and I did not look back since then. Annoying, but easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s my case. I send every new subdomain to my nginx IP on pi-hole and then use nginx as a reverse proxy

  Anyone has a list of TV manufacturers that don’t suck yet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At this rate it is easier to do a whitelist than a blacklist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a clearly coordinated attack on the civilians to get more data to sell and spy on them.

  This isn’t a coincidence that these bills pop around at the same time.

  The problem is that there is a lot if these people that thinks LLMs are good enough, and many of them are in decisional positions, so we’re getting raked no matter what.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t matter if there is boycott or not. They are letting the cat out of the bag and it’s not going back in.

  This is the start of normalizing surge pricing in gaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's all SO simple!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a lot easier to remove 200 calories from your diet than burning 200 calories more.

  Tell that to someone starting out and look at their deer in the headlight face. Then you’ll realize that the point went over your head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well it’s a pretty big deal, especially for large power storage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My very uneducated understanding is that sodium batteries can be produced virtually anywhere.

  Not every battery application needs to maximize energy density, so sodium batteries are good where that is the case.

  I also did not read about sodium ion batteries characteristics versus lithium ion, so there might also be other use cases where sodium ion batteries are better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It takes time to scale production and even more time to adopt a new technology.

  At least, they didn’t SLAM Microsoft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My phone, iPad, and laptop finally all use the same USB-C charger. The galaxy is at peace.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If we burn the planet for more economic productivity, we made more money but made human life worst.

  So what is the point of economic productivity if it makes our everyday live worst?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My phone, iPad, and laptop finally all use the same USB-C charger. The galaxy is at peace.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stifle wasn’t the right word. Sorry about that, I wrote my comment too fast amd English isn’t my first language.

  Innovation isn’t an all or nothing thing.

  There is a difference between removing all the red tape and saying “fuck it” and making sure that the said innovation isn’t outright dangerous. If we need to take thing slower to make sure that people aren’t killed directly or indirectly, then so be it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My phone, iPad, and laptop finally all use the same USB-C charger. The galaxy is at peace.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  History has shown us again and again that corporations can’t behave decently if let to their own device.

  I would much rather have the government stiffle innovation if that means that consumer are safe and benefit from said innovation.

  Yeah but it’s an awkward talk in the morning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my bf says sleeping with your balls out is the male equivalent⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get grumpy when I don’t sleep at home and I need to sleep with boxer briefs. It fucking sucks. Let me be an animal for the time I sleep at the very least please.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Alternatives, Ranked⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is SimpleX based on Matrix? I have this recollection that it is, but I don’t if it’s a false memory or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doctors are a product of their training. The issue is that doctors are trained like humans are cars and they have tools to fix the cars.

  Human problems are complex and the medecine field is slowly catching up, especially medecine targetted toward women, which was pretty lacking.

  It takes time to transform a system and we are getting there slowly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI start showing ads in ChatGPT⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My uneducated guess : they are bleeding money and need to show that it is slowly stopping and the trend is reversing.

  Once that is done, pipe the IPO and make bank before it crashes and burn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Start-up idea⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I’ve heard about that theory. The boot example is good because everyone can relate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Start-up idea⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One caveat I would note: lots of people can’t afford expensive, durable appliances.

  It’s expensive to be poor.

  And for the rich that fucks other rich people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Turns Out That When Waymos Are Stumped, They Get Intervention From Workers in the Philippines⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a mega corpo. Laws don’t apply to them silly you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cities would rather pollute a new parcel of land than fix the contamined ones.

  There is a city nearby that has an abandoned industrial district and they plan on building a new industrial district instead of razing the old one and decontaminate it.

  And shocker, they want to make the new district on farm land.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is mental that we sell arable land to build expensive, low quality condos or big buildings like a data center.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah, customer service⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The typical customer service is 45 mins ++ of waiting on the line, to be greeted by an agent with a heavy Indian accent that will go through the script before having any chances to have a shot at maybe fixing your issue.
