• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is shutting down Freevee⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve literally never heard of such a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caves⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I am a cave-adapted organism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Problem?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is also how everything else works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boston Dynamic show off their brand new Atlas⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Based on my experience with how destructive a robot vacuum can be, there is 0% chance I would let a Tesla developed robot exist in my house.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boston Dynamic show off their brand new Atlas⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile, Tesla is showing off pretend robots to serve drinks to Elon stans. Don’t look behind the curtain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Entire Mac Lineup Now Finally Starts With at Least 16GB RAM, Ending 8GB Era⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Their sales figures seem to show that the majority of people don’t care. For my needs when I’m using my MacBook, I’m one of those people who don’t care. That’s probably because it’s not my main PC, so I use it for the things most people probably use it for (browsing, watching media, some light work).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have 8 seconds.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve probably got somewhere to be, so I’m just hoping you’ll ride the elevator in silence like me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would tools/services would you recommend for hosting without self hosting?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The cheapest one I know of is about $8 a month, so it should be affordable, even on a tight budget.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would tools/services would you recommend for hosting without self hosting?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can buy a super cheap cloud VM and use a (self hosted) VPN so it can access your own PC and a reverse proxy to forward all incoming requests to your own PC behind your school’s network.

  It’s arguable whether this would violate their policy, since you are technically hosting something, but not accessible on the internet from their IP. So if you wanna be safe, don’t do this, otherwise, that could help you get started.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Store (and access) old emails⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but then you’re not using IMAP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Store (and access) old emails⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re using IMAP, the emails aren’t completely downloaded by Thunderbird, just the headers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is reportedly working on its own AI-powered search engine, too⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, more bad products no one wants. Cool. Great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You do realize that computers and the internet were invented and developed by the government, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Capitalism, kind of. Practically, the rest of the way. Mobile parts need to be designed really tightly integrated, and standardizing them isn’t really feasible without significant pressure on the market (aka, socialism).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blessica Blimpson⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Blarge

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blessica Blimpson⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not only one of the blest blitish blands of all time, but quite possibly the blest bland blever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Home internet usually does, it’s just pretty high.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Kindle e-readers no longer appear on computers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Another reason to avoid kindle like the plague.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Look at this Kinder toy I got. What? How? Who?!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s doing his best!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sympathy for their PTSD⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Child murderer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would they arrest their fellow officers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What websites still feel like the old internet?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh man, fuck Bryan Lunduke. He aged like milk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fruit Flies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re called fruit flies because they gather around rotting fruit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Consume Saddam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the post is saying that that small of a portion of Saddam is 400 calories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Shitter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨static website generator⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What I use for a lot of my sites is SvelteKit. If you like writing the HTML by hand, it’s great. Also HTML5 Up is where I get my templates. I made the nymph.io website this way. And sveltematerialui.com.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Batman.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Either Batman has a really nice ass, or Wonder Woman has man-ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought three of the gen 1 Philips Hue when they first came out and all three died within two years. I hope they’re better now, but I’ll never buy Philips Hue again.

  (And in case you ask, they weren’t enclosed, they were in IKEA floor lamps.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soul Reaver remaster release date, screens and trailer leak via PlayStation and it all looks far too shiny⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Other than Raziel’s super bright and clean rags, it looks good to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at work⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Backups and rollbacks should be your next endeavor.
