If you want to keep running Win10, look into 0patch. They do in memory patching and are MUCH smaller, it’s what a real OS manufacturer would put out.
- Comment on 100% flashing true colours, to condition your acceptance of mainstream nazification... 3 hours ago:
Man, all those centrists and idiot rightoids who told me I was being hyperbolic and lessening the meaning of ‘Nazi’ (which was always projection) were full of shit?
Wow, if only someone could have guessed that Donald ‘We lost 1488 kids’ Trump was a Nazi?

Man, that just makes me mad, considering one of the big dogs in my neighborhood got put down for accidentally ‘biting’ me as a kid. Didn’t even come at me, one of her fangs hit me and ripped up my nose while I was playing with her and required some stitches.
Poor girl got done dirty by the system.

Shouldn’t that be the Confederate flag and the Israeli flag? They’re actually on the same side and bit support killing minorities and taking native land.

I’m sick of explaining to every kid around what the difference is between nazism/racism/chauvinism/stereotypes and common sense
Seems like you’re not doing a good job of it, but you also don’t have a good take on those meanings based on your comments, so that’s to be expected.
- Comment on Ruby Central tries to make peace after 'hostile takeover' 3 days ago:
Sometimes you might very strongly disagree with other people’s views, or even be disgusted by those views, but you might still want to find out what those views are.
Sure, but if they’re using SJW as a pejorative, you already know what their (disgusting) views are. I have yet to meet one of these people who didn’t fall into a rather specific shitty box when it comes to certain viewpoints.

Its not my responsibility to close all their doors that are accessible to the public.
It’s not your responsibility to close the doors, but it is your responsibility not to walk in an open door and take something that’s not yours
As a US citizen, I’m liable for my own negligence and/or ignorance.
Yep, and that negligence/ignorance you’re liable for in this case is piracy.
You’re welcome to disagree with a bad law (and make no mistake, I absolutely think it’s a bad law), but you’re still liable for breaking laws you don’t agree with. By all means break it, but don’t pretend you’re not breaking it, and make sure you take reasonable precautions to keep yourself safe while doing so.

Good to know. Do you have any links or recommendations to look into?

we got talking about how leafblowers suck.
In my experience, they tend to blow, even the good ones.

I’ve been thinking about doing a mini split for my office/upstairs bedroom, since that floor is always the hottest area of the home. Damn if the install cost isn’t as much as the damned equipment
- Comment on Phil sieged for David can dab over Gaza 1 week ago:
Stupid people regularly do not make good decisions, and even less so when drinking.
Expecting stupid drunk people to make good decisions will only ever lead to disappointment

Interesting, I mainly use audiobookshelf for podcasts along with my audiobooks, I’ll have to look at what the ebook integration is like.

Man, can you imagine the uproar if China required companies to have local people on the company’s board to be able to operate in China?
What horrible government would allow that?!?
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 1 week ago:
pension
I’m not sure how old you think most of us are, but I don’t think pensions are a common retirement vehicle anymore, and haven’t been for a while. 401k would probably be the modern equivalent, and it’s still running on the stock market for the majority of its life prior to beginning to withdraw.

And I would almost bet the crash will be about the time the Dems take power, just so the Republicans can whine about the situation they created and blame the Democrats for it.
- Comment on Getting old and would like a better way to track health the self hosted way 1 week ago:
But the ai means it has to call a server with the information, so I can’t get past that.
That just means they need to ship the model and a way to run it locally. I’d love that, and wouldn’t give a shit if it took a long time to run on my hardware for something like that

- Comment on my smart hot air fryer, every single time 1 week ago:
But seriously why are people using smart appliances? I’ve yet to see one that’s actually good.
If I’m being honest, I totally understand the appeal, in concept. Like, it would be nice for my washer/dryer/food machine to be able to ping me when it’s done or let me see certain stats/metrics/maintenance things remotely.
But corpo “smart” devices are rarely giving you much useful info while also trying you to corpo cloud services that can disappear over night, harvests all kinds of data, forces shitty “features” on you, shows ads or even locks you out entirely if it can’t talk to the mother ship (because fuck you, that’s the manufacturer’s device, peasant scum!), there’s no reason to use them.
I have a handful of ‘smart’ features in my house, but it’s all local only and uses home assistant because I’m not going to let some corpo scum update some TOS and decide I can’t use my goddamned hardware anymore.
- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 1 week ago:
“Because there was push back and the EU decided to not go forward with a vote and be embarrassed, that means they never really wanted it at all” is one of the dumbest takes I’ve heard in a minute.
