  what?? They just scanned my drivers license when I went. Was there an option not to use it? That would probably make me walk out and rent from somewhere else.

  Why do people assume the tech companies are going to be running the plants? They are just paying a utility provider to run the plants and sell the energy to them at wholesale prices. They’re not handing out dosimetry to CS graduates and telling them to go wrench on the reactor like it’s a new social media app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet and smartphones have increased people sitting in their cars for extended time, but people suspicious why someone is sitting in a car for an extended time has not decreased proportionally.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When you get home from work, sometimes it’s nice to decompress for a few minutes before going in to start on chores/dinner/whatever. Especially if you have roommates or children that will immediately require your attention when you go inside.

  Cannot dismiss cookie popup and reader view isn’t working for me. I’m sure it’s a fine article, but it’s on a shitty website so I can’t read it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the fuck do you meet new people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Join a Discord server for your city if it has one. Make casual conversation with the people there, attend/plan meetups, and suddenly you have real-life friends.

  I met most of my closest friends through my school’s Discord server while I was in college.

  (It doesn’t have to be Discord, it can be a Facebook/Reddit/etc. community too. Discord is just the most common option for younger people.)

  What?

  My great grandfather’s grave is still around and he died in the ‘80s, in a cemetery in a highly populated part of my city. Right next to him is his son that was killed in Vietnam in the ‘60s.

  Depends on region of course, but I think most graves are around for much longer than 6 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Garage is an open source S3-compatible object storage cluster designed for self hosting⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Compared to MinIO, it has more storage backend flexibility, cross-region replication is easy, it is resilient to less-than-ideal network conditions between nodes. Did you bother reading the website?

  I’m not sure why your immediate reaction to having more options is negative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 41 years Microsoft quietly adds spellchecking and autocorrect to Windows Notepad⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s just me, but I have no desire for autocorrect on the computer. I want the letters I type to be the letters on screen, and I’m perfectly capable of typing words on a full sized keyboard. It makes sense for a phone where the keyboard is small and you can’t feel the keys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New apartment Internet has no port forwarding, admin login⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Set up a cheap VPS on DigitalOcean or the like, and run a Tailscale exit node. Put Tailscale on your devices at home (or get a 2nd router that allows you to run Tailscale on it) and join them to the same Tailnet. That’s the easiest way to accomplish this without getting too far into the weeds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Need to Talk About the State of Calendar Software on Desktop⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I started using eM Client for mail on Windows, and its calendar integration is pretty decent too. It’s paid software, but you only have to pay once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Apple tricks people into believing the iPhone is cool⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  iPhones don’t have the same superiority in the US anymore, at least not in my experience. Maybe in the early 2010s when they were new and everyone wanted an iPhone, but nobody really gives a shit what phone you have here anymore.

  They’re also easily accessible to most people now because cell providers will lease you a phone for some added cost to your phone plan each month, so you can get a $1,000+ phone for $20-30 extra per month which isn’t hard for many people.

  What kind of dystopian hellhole do you live in where you can be arrested for clicking on a 3D model of a gun?

  Too bad they don’t have an option for “I just don’t want to use Edge”. Especially with how hard Microsoft is pushing it, that just makes me want to use it less.
