  I had no idea this was unconstitutional, because every Republican state I’ve lived in required ID to vote.

  Loco Roco

  Midnight Club Dub Edition

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inspiring. Innovating.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  My question is, wouldn’t the power needed to run these negate the benefits they bring?

  This is also ignoring the gross notion that these can make money so they’re more worthy than trees when considering solutions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doubting Your Favorite Web Search Engine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ecosia and Qwant I read are partnering to make a discrete search index.

  Although I don’t know the current status of the effort, it may not be Bing for much longer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Government Starts Pushing Economic Data Onto Blockchains as 'Proof of Concept'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How about we do this for voting?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make it make sense ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It all starts with someone in the passing lane, not passing, and one or more pissed off people behind them :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Perks of not signing into Windows with a Microsoft account… Oh wait

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This feature doesn’t even work.

  So many times I’ll save a word doc, attach it to outlook, and it’ll silently attach an older version of the word doc.

  Word says its up to date, one drive says its up to date, but outlook still gets an old version.

  It takes hours to resolve. Everything Microsoft wastes so much of my time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. takes 10% stake in Intel as Trump flexes more power over big business⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh got it. It’s Trump attempting to take credit for Biden’s good legislation.

  Now that checks out. Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, the community should make such a tool.

  Since the argument is that LLMs scraping content isn’t piracy, if we just “scrape” the songs with a LLM it’s protected use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. takes 10% stake in Intel as Trump flexes more power over big business⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So how did they get all that stock for free?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How about no

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So what happens if the ad blocker is built into the browser?

  And what happens if a user modifies the Dom by hand using dev tools?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residents⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So happy for you! I’m still stuck with shady cable as they cancelled the 2024 rollout.

  I swear Cable internet was propped up by hidden fees and promo pricing.

  Thanks, I hate it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Docker doesnt affect that. I ran a Palworld server in Docker for several months, it’s just a different, and better, way to package the software

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So GOG going to relist Devotion? Seeing how they're about freedom to buy games.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  on Steam you can buy the soundtrack but not the game. The soundtrack is listed as a DLC for the base game. How fun

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Prerequisite to that would be banning abortions so that tracks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, I wonder if that plays into the wild and frequent thunderstorms in Texas now.

  Its got to be the data centers or global warming overall (and its shifting of the Jetstream’s).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always rant about tech moving to Austin.

  They need low heat, reliable power, and an abundance of water.

  Texas is literally none of those things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CFO calls for 'intensity' in an internal memo, after blowout earnings⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very happy to see my employer slowly moving away from their shitty products.

  All they’re good for is stress, frustration, and justifying the jobs of old Sys Admins that sit in ivory towers.

  The rest of the world is moving on. I challenge them to show growth next year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google loses app store antitrust appeal, must make sweeping changes to Play Store⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this still happen? I use fdroid and it’s not only more reliable than the play store, Ive never seen a malware warning or anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this the end of Bootloader Unlocking in the EU?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have never installed a ROM that touched the radio.

  In fact most ROMs I’ve used warned against touching the radio because of the risk of damaging the device.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Substack app sent a push notification promoting a Nazi newsletter to several users.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Ghost for my blog and don’t have any trackers nor do I require emails.

  So I wouldn’t attribute that to Ghost but rather attribute it to 404Media.

  That said, I disagree, there are blogging platforms other than Substack. Sub stack is just the current popular choice and people are too lazy to move unless they personally have a problem.

  Unfortunately blogging next to Nazi propaganda isn’t a problem for those people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epstein puts my morality into perspective⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to think that.

  But if no one tipped, all the employees would leave, and the employer would need to slowly reconsider their life choices

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They picked top of the line components so if you’re fine building a beast of a computer then yeah the list is great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Future is NOT Self-Hosted⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really, I was trying our naivdrome as I’m phasing out Plex and liked it so much I kept it.

  Its impressive how light navidrome is and it scans a lot faster since its only music and not my movies too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Future is NOT Self-Hosted⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s what I’m doing. Its been great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Future is NOT Self-Hosted⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Something that’s always given me trouble is sharing my music.

  If I hear a cool song and want to send it to a friend I have to go to YouTube.

  And many of my friends send me Spotify tracks. The share feature of Navidrome has been incredible for this.

  I can send them a link and have a listen party with them and then erase the link when were done.

  It’d be nice to have this feature in more of the self hosted apps.
