- Comment on Looks like Discord finally fixed Linux screen and audio sharing with Wayland 1 month ago:
There’s probably one guy at Discord who really hated this bug and spent a weekend fixing it.
- Comment on Copilot PCs represent only a tiny fraction of laptop sales — compatible laptops accounted for less than 10% of total shipments in 3Q24 1 month ago:
That’s because nobody wants them and a lot of people want specifically not them.
- Comment on ISPs say their “excellent customer service” is why users don’t switch providers 1 month ago:
One of their many other options, like, *checks coverage* not having internet.
- Comment on What do you create? 1 month ago:
I created an email service called port87.com
It’s got fancy features that help you stay organized and spam free.
I also create loads of open source software, which I use for it:
sveltematerialui.com - A UI library for the Svelte framework.
nymph.io - An object relational mapper for Node.js and the browser.
github.com/sciactive/nephele - A WebDAV server with encryption, deduplication, and S3 support.
- Comment on Half of Young Norwegians Say Online Piracy Is an Acceptable Way to Save Money * TorrentFreak 1 month ago:
Because it is. Who wants to pay $120 a month on streaming services you barely use?
- Comment on Elon Musk's Own AI Chatbot Claims He Spreads 'The Most Disinformation' On X 2 months ago:
It also refused to denigrate trans people when Joe Rogan and Melon Husk tried to make it do that on the Joe Rogan Experience’s Stupidity Power Hour.
- Comment on Elon Musk's Own AI Chatbot Claims He Spreads 'The Most Disinformation' On X 2 months ago:
At least it’s accurate.

I’ve literally never heard of such a thing.

I am a cave-adapted organism.

This is also how everything else works.
- Comment on Boston Dynamic show off their brand new Atlas 2 months 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 months 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 months 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 months 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 months 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 months 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.

Yes, but then you’re not using IMAP.
- Comment on Store (and access) old emails 2 months 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 months 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 months 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 months 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).

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

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

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