My thoughts exactly. My Xbox is spying on my instead.
- Comment on Millions of Americans Who Have Waited Decades for Fast Internet Connections Will Keep Waiting After the Trump Administration Threw a $42 Billion High-Speed Internet Program Into Disarray. 4 days ago:
And if it does, they’ll thank him for helping them to disconnect.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 5 days ago:
Ahh, that’s valid. I’ve been wanting to build a (relatively) small 16TB SSD NAS for video editing, after which I could dump footage to my main NAS. SSD NAS systems can definitely make sense depending on your use case. Hell, you can even game off of them if you’ve got 10gig networking.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 5 days ago:
Why do you turn off the NAS at night? Reminds me of my grandparents turning off the wifi at night.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 1 week ago:
Why do so many of you throw tantrums over this
Sweet sweet irony.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 1 week ago:
If it’s random and unfair, why do I consistently win more than others I play with?
Many good games have some luck, some skill, and some strategy. Mario Kart has all of these. Strategy in how and when to use your items, skill to drive/drift/etc, and luck in which items you get. It strikes a really good balance of this, which results in me, someone who’s an above average player, winning most of the time, but keeping it fun for those who aren’t as skilled, like my parents, where sometimes they can get one over me due to some luck, strategy, or a mistake on my part.
Finally, let people live their lives, and maybe git gud. It kinda sounds like you just suck, and are salty about it.
- Comment on True Wireless Power is FINALLY here (building a TRULY wire-free desk setup) 3 weeks ago:
My speakers at home hum due to my Logitech Powerplay Matt, even with a ground loop isolator. It sucks. I was kinda surprised that it wasn’t an issue with this setup.
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 3 weeks ago:
I understand what you’re saying. What would make GrayJay open source? Allowing contribution?
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 3 weeks ago:
By the acronym, opening up the source code to the public would make it open source. What is Grayjay missing to be open source then? Accepting contributions?
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 3 weeks ago:
It’s free, and I see an official Github repository containing the code, is that not foss?
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 3 weeks ago:
Sure, that’s why I paid for Plex Pass. Plex isn’t free.
- Comment on (Technology Connections) Closed captions on DVDs are getting left behind [33:46] 4 weeks ago:
Legal ownership, that is
- Comment on How can I contribute processing power to the community? 4 weeks ago:
You’d be better off directly donating.
- Comment on Apple executives ban Fortnight from the App store 5 weeks ago:
How would you know that iOS is trash if it’s vaporware?
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 1 month ago:
I’m still at my first job in Software Development.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 1 month ago:
Most of our engineering is on Linux
God I wish my company allowed that
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 1 month ago:
Wow, a take that isn’t just “AI bad?” Wild.
Yeah I thought it was weird that it couldn’t do this in windows in the first place when you had to click a button to allow the AI to change your computer from light to dark mode or something. It was right 99% of the time in my brief testing, and just include an undo button in case it isn’t.
All of that said, I’m glad to be on Linux where there isn’t any AI built into my OS, but I’m also not the target audience for needing an AI to change my settings for me.
- Comment on Cup Holders for Sofa Cushions 1 month ago:
Sure, but that doesn’t mean we should just print garbage because others are doing worse.
- Comment on Papra, the minimalistic document archiving platform 2 months ago:
Damn I’ve gotta set up one of these, whether it be this one or paperless. The text recognition in photos would be huge.
- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 2 months ago:
I’m going to go look for a link to share.
- Comment on Good mail server for selfhosting 4 months ago:
Yeah, all the threads I came across when I looked into this were like “Self host everything! Except email” so I haven’t looked into it.
- Comment on Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says 4 months ago:
This is the reason. I can get all the Linux discussion I want on Lemmy, but discussions about an Acura RSX? That community is on reddit.
- Comment on AI chatbots unable to accurately summarise news, BBC finds 4 months ago:
I’m pretty sure that every user of Apple Intelligence could’ve told you that. If AI is good at anything, it isn’t things that require nuance and factual accuracy.
- Comment on Is it time to ring the alarm on internet door cameras? 4 months ago:
They also wouldn’t have noticed that they hadn’t installed it. Honesty in the best policy.
- Comment on Actual Budget is a fantastic FOSS budgeting tool that you can self-host 7 months ago:
This is the comment that’s going to make me try it. I love my spreadsheet, so I’ll have to see if this does everything that my spreadsheet does.
- Comment on Designed this coaster, because I wanted something tidy looking and dual color, without filament changes 8 months ago:
Gotcha. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a dishwasher with that functionality.
- Comment on Designed this coaster, because I wanted something tidy looking and dual color, without filament changes 8 months ago:
toss them in the dishwasher
Does your dishwasher have a cold wash setting or did you print these in ABS or something?
- 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 8 months ago:
I just got my first computer controlled vehicle, a 2007 Volvo XC70. It’s fucking insane. The same code scanner equipment and software that the dealership has access to needs to be included with the car at purchase. It’s the only solution I can think of to keep auto manufacturers from charging way to much for it like they do all of their parts/tools. You also should get all of the files that are relevant to the car with the car, in case you need to reprogram a module from another car.
Instead, community members are left to reverse engineer and scrounge around to get tools working on their own. It’s genuinely insane how impossible it is to diagnose issues with modern vehicles as a home mechanic.
