Lenin dreamt of this kind of propaganda power.

I always thought of them as a privacy aid.

Kobo is on my Xmas list. I still have a gen 2? Kindle and it’s still pretty workable.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 2 weeks ago:
The US just can’t seem to get over the Confederacy.
I think we failed in the re-education process and should have adopted something similar to post WWII Germany and crushing out nazism.
- Comment on Notepad gets AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite, using local and cloud models. 2 weeks ago:
Not every company allows uncontrolled software. Sometimes you have to like with the hammer you were given.
- Comment on Notepad gets AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite, using local and cloud models. 2 weeks ago:
I use notepad just about every day to dump some kind of information temporarily as to not cause a massive formatting fuck up in word or excel or whatever.
- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 3 weeks ago:
That sounds dystopian
- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 3 weeks ago:
I think it definitely depends on the persons needs. I use my phone for maps when I am going somewhere I am unfamiliar with. I use it for pod casts and audio books all the time. I use it for checking my bank account. Could I use something else to do these? Sure, but do I have access to all of the secondary devices to accomplish all of the above, not always. So yeah, the smart phone did become the catch all for a ton of daily processes, and I don’t have to carry 10 devices anymore.

Engineers be like…
1041/365 =2,852
.852*365=310.980
Thus 2 y 311 d. Or really, fuck it 3 y

Aren’t private trackers the best method? But good luck getting an invite to them.
Side note, if someone has connections, I’m interested.

Praise be to Gaben!
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 1 month ago:
Not really. Most of the rural plans in the US are run by utilities companies that are local.
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 1 month ago:
But that is what CEO’s want. They want to pay for a near super human to do all of the different skill sets ( hiring, firing, finance, entry level engineering, IT tickets, etc) and it looks like it is starting to work. Seems like solid engineering students graduating recently have all been struggling to land decent starting jobs. I’ll grant it’s not as simple as this explanation, but I really think the wealth class are going to be happy riding this flaming ship right down into the depths.

- Comment on From games to reminders to drink water: The rise of 'streaks,' rewards that keep you hooked 2 months ago:
I hated this when battlefield did this with daily missions to unlock things. Like, fml, I just want to enjoy a complete game. Trinkets and skins mean nothing to me.

Fine… that version, not 24H2
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 2 months ago:
From my reading all ways to move the task bar have been removed.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 2 months ago:
I made the switch recently for probably the strangest reason.
I’ve been running win 11 for over a year using a shell tool that allowed me to move my task bar to the top of the screen and some other win 10 functionality.
However win 11 removed the ability to move the task bar and my shell program lost most of its functionality. After that I was done.
I’ve Linux off and on since 2002ish so it’s not scary to me and I’m pretty happy with Arch and KDE right now. Still the occasional crash that appears to happen sometimes when watching YouTube.

Jesus, my pool takes a little over a day, but I’ve only got around 100 gb how big is your pool?
- Comment on Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car 2 months ago:
It brings up a valid point. Assembly line manufacturing will soon require massive automation lines to remain profitable, and without massive government assistance in not just money, but education and training, these kinds of automation factories will likely never be fully realized here.
