Ah, the Torment Nexus is coming along nicely I see.
- Comment on Why do men call their father their "old man", but their "old lady" is their wife? 1 month ago:
Funny, I’ve always thought of them as terms of honour. At least that’s why I called my father old man. He called his captain that back when he was a sailor.

Throttle growth? But then how will we create believable bullshit generators? We have to stick an AI label on useless crap to sell damnit!

- Comment on Nextcloud Hub 8 is now available 2 months ago:
There’s also compatibility mismatch between certain versions of clients and servers. That almost cost me a bunch of files. Thank RMS I had a local copy through syncthing.

If you don’t care about 3.5mm a FairPhone comes pretty close to that description.
- Comment on So today I finally deleted the bird app 2 months ago:
I’m glad you’re leaving that cesspool behind. That said, just not doing the thing is also an option. I’ve replaced Reddit one to one with Lemmy but I’d just as soon forego the whole thing. I’ve never seen the allure of Twitter and I have a Mastodon account but I don’t see it there either.
I think I’m gonna delete that as well and just live without it.

I’ve experienced finally getting the perfect product or feature in Workspace only to either have it ripped away OR them putting it behind a paywall. RIP Cloud print.

Make sure the dir you are mounting to exists. If it doesn’t, create it with:

- Comment on What If Psychedelics’ Hallucinations Are Just a Side Effect? 7 months ago:
Just as an FYI, you can strip paywalls by dropping links into an archive site like in your parent comment! It might not be obvious so I thought I would explicitly tell you.
On HackerNews it’s considered good etiquette to drop the archived link in the comments if you’ve bothered to read it through such a link.

They are also just as susceptible.

Well to be fair, the whole article is useless. The bot should take that edge case into account and post something like: TL;DR give me something useful instead.

Why don’t I strap on my job helmet and squeeze down into a job cannon and fire off into job land, where jobs grow on jobbies?

They have a whole world market to serve, I don’t think they give a fuck about UK politics
- Comment on Amazon Has Turned Into an Monopolistic Shithole Littered With Pay-to-Play Ads, FTC Lawsuit Solemnly Argues 8 months ago:
Geez, what crawled up your ass and died? No need for hostility, I am simply expressing my thoughts. Do whatever the fuck you want, I’d take advantage of the honeymoon phase and drop them like a hot sack of shit once the find out stage begins.
- Comment on Amazon Has Turned Into an Monopolistic Shithole Littered With Pay-to-Play Ads, FTC Lawsuit Solemnly Argues 8 months ago:
I believe you, but the ultimate goal for all of those platforms is monopoly, looking at their track record. Like Peter Thiel said, competition is for losers.
- Comment on Amazon Has Turned Into an Monopolistic Shithole Littered With Pay-to-Play Ads, FTC Lawsuit Solemnly Argues 8 months ago:
How long has Amazon been operating in your market? Their MO is capturing a customer base with low prices and good service, followed by capturing sellers by offering them access to said customer base. After having locked everyone in their last step is to extract all possible value from both groups. Their playbook is creating a chokepoint to force themselves upon everyone for trade.

- Comment on Google says it can’t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one | With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste. 9 months ago:
I am in the Apple ecosystem, but this strategy is universal. Every month I am reminded by my calendar to make a backup. That means:
A Photos export to flat file format for photo and video An iCal backup (easily imported elsewhere) A vCard backup of contacts A bookmark backup A to do list export by pasting to a .md Same for notes
I like the easy way an ecosystem lets all my things play nice together, but I don’t want to be beholden to it. This is an acceptable workaround to me.

Absolutely, an iron fist. But that worked out well in this case.

Apple succeeded at switching over to ARM though, they’re thriving.
- Comment on Upgrading SSD in elitedesk g2 800 9 months ago:
There’s a few ways to go, I have used dd in the past to clone the existing drive out to a disk image on a USB SSD, then installed the new SSD in the system and did the process in reverse (and then used gparted to expand the partitions out to size).
There’s also cloning devices that can do this but I’ve only ever done that with traditional 3.5" and 2.5" disks, not m.2.
Whatever you do, make sure you have a backup of your important data before you make any attempt.
- Comment on What do you use to manage operating system images for installation on new laptops and workstations? 9 months ago:
I set this up for production on a factory floor for others to use. It’s nice, works extremely well once set up. Importing and exporting images could be easier.
