And quickly realizing they could be used for more.
- Comment on YSK that Apple makes hundreds of millions of dollars with personalized advertising. If you have an iPhone, you should turn it off. 1 day ago:
And this is part of why I root.
Only certain apps get network access, and only certain apps get to use Google services.
They’ll complain, some won’t work.
Next phone won’t have Google services at all, and untrustworthy apps will be sandboxed in their own profiles.

Like, turn off the iPad or iPhone?
Agreed.

Wow, who ever though zip was a good idea for this? Lol. Well, you gained a lot of experience.
We were using cd’s in the mid/late 90’s for imaging already.

Define share?
Keep all files in sync between two points?
Enable ad-hoc access to all files, or a subset?
- Comment on YSK that giving kids a laptop doesn't improve their academic performance. 2 days ago:
Businesses repair laptops every day.
I’ve replaced 2 keyboards in my family in the last year, and 2 batteries.
I’ve replaced fans in laptops. Recently replaced the cpu paste in one.
Just because you never see it because everyone you know buys shitty consumer laptops, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Business-class laptops are maintainable, and they cost more because of it.
In the last year my friends in the SMB space have replaced half a dozen keyboards, numerous batteries, etc. And these are in companies that have regular replacement cycles.

This is the answer.
Also, just buy a faucet that integrates the sprayer into it - get the tallest one that will fit, it makes everything easier.

DDG has gone completely shitty for me recently.
Such a weird thing to be seeing.

“Human immune cells”, not cells in humans.
That’s not to say this doesn’t happen in humans, it very well may. It’s intriguing research, but it’s still only demonstrated in mice. Important to always keep that in mind until we get better information (which this research is at least leading us to).
Lots of stuff happens in mice (or pigs) and we find doesn’t replicate to homo sapiens.
- Comment on Why is hatred/dehumanization of the working class so prominent in the UK, when about 60% of the UK population is working class? 3 days ago:
Quit posting this nonsense under different accounts.
Chav is NOT a derogatory term for working class folks.
This is what I’m going to reply every time you post this garbage.
The Cambridge English Dictionary defines chav as “an insulting word for someone, usually a young person, whose way of dressing, speaking, and behaving is thought to show their lack of education and low social class.”

It’s based on behaviour.

And you don’t know basic writing.

Gonna need a source.
Also chav /= working class, no matter how much you make this claim and continue to post it.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 4 days ago:
I think it’s closely related to people with tens of thousands of emails in their inbox,
Nope.
I have a half dozen email address, about 20 aliases.
My inbox rarely has even 5 unopened emails.
I have 100+ tabs on desktop, over 100 on phone.

I was programming long before PC’s existed.
You’re paradigm of the world isn’t everyone’s.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 4 days ago:
Tab History shows every instance of a tab, not just 1 for the 300 times you visited it.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 4 days ago:
Same problem as bookmarks.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 4 days ago:
My bookmarks are organized. Haven’t used any of them in 10 years.
It’s a great idea that I like, it just doesn’t work for me.
Tabs in the sidebar do.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 4 days ago:
So you admit to doing the same thing.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 4 days ago:
Good for you.
I simply scroll down my tab bar to what I’m looking for.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 4 days ago:
Because, shockingly, not everyone sees the world the way you do.

Hahahaha, right.

- Comment on Technical debt is probably one of the best dramatic tropes 6 days ago:
Quite often (or maybe even most often), but there’s also the realities of simply having to choose a path knowing it will change in 2-5 years.

Thanks for the update
- Comment on Anyone tried Syncthing Tray on Android? 1 week ago:
Thing is, even using this new app it’s still ST underneath, using their Discovery servers. That’s as big an issue as anything.
- Comment on Anyone tried Syncthing Tray on Android? 1 week ago:
To your point, the developer of an iOS Syncthing client (Möbius) has financially support ST development for at least 3 years that I know of. I don’t know how much, but they use it for their own clients, so it’s important to them.
My only concern would be the Discovery servers.
- Comment on Anyone tried Syncthing Tray on Android? 1 week ago:
I have no intent to upgrade from my current version (1.27.9) as it’s been fine for years now.
It works, does what I need. There was an update a few months ago, but it offers nothing I need, and would only cause me a ton of work and re-testing to ensure it works as it currently does.
Apps don’t need continuous updating if they work.

I’d tell some trusted friends too. Quietly. In person.

Yea, no, I wouldn’t recommend searching for this unicorn.
Scheduled sex with someone who’s indifferent to it?
Do you want scheduled emotional closeness with someone who isn’t into it?
