  We’re all keyboard warriors with opinions.

  I’ll get downvoted to hell for this, but I honestly feel like right now it is a nothingburger.

  Will I continue to keep an eye on the things they do? Yes. Does their CEOs work history bother me? Yes. Will I keep using it and just keep tabs on settings and extensions? Yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The science is divided⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you read the Wikipedia article (or other articles) about “all horses are the same color”, it is really just about an inductive fallacy that can occur.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨check it before you wreck it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This made me unreasonably happy for you and I legitimately smiled.

  I’m with you. Fuck this shit.

  Maybe they’re republican

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How do we set a better example / take the high road but actually make progress though?

  Lawsuits and protests are going to do nothing at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lack of organization. We’re many of us individually mad, but there is no organization.

  Say what you will but Jan 6th and then some is what we should be doing, but we aren’t.

  All I’m doing now is hoarding ammunition and periodically buying more guns because I 1000% believe we’re going to see war soon.

  I’m also donating money to charities, helping people in my community that are struggling, and telling fascists to fuck off.

  …is this for real? I don’t want to check, but I also can’t tell if this is a joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The biggest breach of US government data is under way⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well my mom already said, “I haven’t done anything wrong so I have nothing to hide”

  Which…yeah…don’t get me started.

  Oh, cool, didn’t know about this, throwing it on my home lab now.

  What does a flat roofed pub mean? (Serious)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As a software engineer I’m down to help out on this, free of charge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Par for the course based on Uber’s history. I stopped using them in lieu of a local/community app…which is honestly absolute garbage, but it is essentially completely pass-through and free for my local area restaurants to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I’m Lovin’ It: Exploiting McDonald’s India APIs to hijack deliveries and order food for a penny⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fantastic read!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For me, they’re also useful because a lot of my jobs don’t allow remote software to be installed on laptops, so I use something like this to be able to remote in still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump sides with Musk in right-wing row over worker visas⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but in the same vein he can go scorched earth on everything to his own benefit because this is it. And that’s dangerous too.

  I’m still not convinced we’ll see a 2028 election but I’d be happy to be proven wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$1K a month is a good deal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dang that’s a good deal (I’m joking).

  I would have to pay ~$1800/mo for just my wife and I for mediocre coverage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$1K a month is a good deal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Geographic American here.

  I just left a job with a health plan for my wife and I, to continue coverage would cost me ~$1810/mo OOP. And, yes, I would then still need to pay more to hit my OOP Maximum.

  You and I both know they’ll blame democrats, liberals, LGBTQ, DEI etc.

  They won’t blame him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sling TV’s streaming TV price goes up by $5.99 next month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy crap when I first subscribed to Sling (like when they first launched) it was like $6.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex redesigns its app to look more like a streaming service⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My friend has a 5gbps fiber line in their home and also hosts some 30TB+ of content for friends & family. It’s easy to use. It is quite nice.

  Reading this thread that does appear to be the case, that’s insane. Fuck Elon again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rear doors have manual overrides too.

  Not simping for Elon, fuck him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The feds are coming for John Deere over the right to repair: The farm equipment giant has fought against letting farmers repair their own equipment for years⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate myself for buying a John Deere tractor, but it was up to $5000 less than any comparable competitor at the time, included a 5 year service contract, and was 0.9% financing.

  I’m in a better place financially now, so when I can and need to, I’m absolutely getting something different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems right. I have a friend who works for Amazon and lives in Portland, OR. They’re asking them to relocate to Seattle to RTO. Now they’re debating if they even want to stay at the company. Supposedly they have until EOY to decide.

  No and most didn’t build up savings during the pandemic…we all went into debt or spent savings just to scrape by.
