NY you’ve gotten to know this grifter, if you choose him again may you fall as hard as your towers. For this stupidity though, there will be no sympathy.

Not much that isn’t better with a nipple. Not going to argue with that
- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 2 days ago:
Why? I’m really frustrated it right now because I’m not used to it, but the settings drop down always felt cramped and this logically makes more sense. I can’t think of an instance where I simultaneously wanted to see notifications and settings. Seems to make sense to separate these. I also thought it was annoying when I switched from the little nav buttons at the bottom to gestures, but man I can’t imagine being without gestures now.

If Co is willing to use it in current state, all the breaking in the world is not going to change their mind.

People will definitely say that about me when I die too. Thankfully the US healthcare system is pretty damn good at making sure the vast majority of us can say this when we die.
- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 4 days ago:
I’m not entirely sure, but I found having easy access to a computer helped me with school work. I imagine these level the field a bit since perhaps not all kids have easy access to computers otherwise?
- Comment on 4 days ago:
None are important in my home. It’s a survival model, and I hate tags on my clothes anyway. I clip tag without looking at it, throw it in a cold cycle with everything else, throw it in the dryer with everything else and find out if it was fit for my lifestyle.

Is there a better option schools should be buying at a similar price point?
- Comment on The Enshitification of Youtube’s Full Album Playlists 4 days ago:
Is this happening with paid accounts or just free ones? Any free album streaming service will eventually have ads of some sort which is what it sounds like this more or less is.
If it’s happening with paid accounts, Jesus, bail now and switch to a different streaming service.

Maybe they will get bailed out like the airlines did though. I want to see them burn, but nothing seems to work the way it’s supposed to anymore.

Then it just becomes a memory test. A good memory is great to have but it doesn’t necessarily translate into the best problem solving skills.
- Comment on I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing 6 days ago:
I use a Lenovo nano and haven’t looked back to my surface days. Has a touch screen and I really like it. Sounds like used surface market is good, but prices for new ones tend to be quite high. The 12 inch sounds really interesting to me though

Neat. Like the other poster said I also have an old surface 4 I think that could really use a new life.

- Comment on I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing 1 week ago:
“Upon picking it up, you can feel the metal chassis has a surprising amount of weight to it.”
A surprising amount of weight is exactly what I do not want to feel when picking up a micro laptop.
That being said, it’s just a little under the weight of the new 12“ surface pro. Pretty much any bag I have could easily fit a 12" laptop but I imagine it would be hard to get Linux to work well with the surface - especially the touch screen. Not to mention a pretty big price difference.
Either way, it’s nice to see more options for small laptops! Maybe in a few years someone will start making small phones again.

- Comment on Seattle Sets the Stage for Automatic Traffic Camera Expansion - The Urbanist 1 week ago:
As someone likely to be profiled by cops, I like the concept of objectivity with automated patrolling, but this comes at such an overbearing scalability and privacy violation that it’s still the greater evil. I just hope automated driving becomes the norm soon enough to obviate the need for this. That comes at a cost too, but the lives saved from that will be on the order of what some vaccines have accomplished and the efficiency with regards to time and energy all add up to make that a worthwhile change in my book.
- Comment on Found This (and more in post) at the Cracker Barrel (US Restaurant and Gift Store Chain) 1 week ago:
I see this kind of stuff everywhere and it really sells too. I don’t mind it if the creative commons agreements are being respected, but I have a feeling that in many cases people’s work is being abused.

Mix an increasingly affordable and easy implementation of nanny-state technology to a shift towards tyrannical governance, and things will likely start getting ugly fast.
