  I guarantee you the modern “hacking” scenes are just as over the top, people just don’t know any better, Mr. Robot TV show is the closest to realistic hacking and it’s not exciting and there’s no clean GUI with animations, just a terminal and a lot of typing and lots of manipulating people into making mistakes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pimp my ride⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I have and they are all pussies, who rage behind a place of saftey, the moment shit hits the fan these pavement princess drivers will piss their pants and start crying that this isn’t what they voted for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder God⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You will never be happy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah cause the rest of the fast franchise is so grounded and serious, don’t they go into space in one of these, I mean come on

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always there⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s my favorite F & F movie, fight me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Then who would they lord over and whose hard work would they make their money off of, on the other hand using these threats to bring back slavery feels like the scarier future to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The whole point of making a easy to repair and upgrade laptop is that people wouldn’t have to buy the latest model to get upgrades, they can just buy the parts they want to upgrade and swap them in their existing laptop and if the come up with a upgraded Framework 12, they can just add the year it comes out to the title

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨getoffpocket.com, my guide to Pocket alternatives, just got a redesign⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep I knew it would be about this, anything for a buck, I wonder how much he made from these links

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨getoffpocket.com, my guide to Pocket alternatives, just got a redesign⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m sketched out that it shows only paid monthly subscription options even for open source self hosted options that you probably don’t need to pay a penny for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Convinced HP's Board to Buy Palm for $1.2B. Then I Watched Them Kill It in 49 Days⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Glen Howerton as Balsilly knocked it out of the park with that performance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Denmark is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for LibreOffice and Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly recently downloaded Libre on my PC and it looks dated and busy, plus not their fault but every Office doc I open in a Libre app looks bad, the formatting and fonts are off and every change I make it says it can’t save in the office format and suggests converting the document to ODT format, that alone will scare away casual users who don’t understand what an open format is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have used this you are immune to all disease.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only seen these used in the movie 12 Angry Men. That movie feels so modern in many ways that when there’s a scene in the washroom and one of the character uses these, I’m reminded that the movie came out in 1957

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey apple when you are watching a reel on Instagram and you get a phone call, the Insta reel audio continues playing on top of the phone call audio, why don’t you fix something as basic as that and give the iPhone a real fuckin file system and make it easier to interact with no Apple devices instead of stupid gimmicks like this. I’m not holding my breath though,just switching back to Android once this one dies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm still not sure how to do this actually oh wait maybe... nope.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do, it’s just a psychological thing I guess, I’ve started taking my own reusable bag to the grocery store these days to cut down on plastic though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm still not sure how to do this actually oh wait maybe... nope.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just don’t want anything touching the cart surface, I doubt they sanitize those regularly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 2 is free to claim on Steam for the next two days⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s it called

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s quiet an expensive way to look cheap

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Made the mistake of buying an iPhone 15, it’s so thin and boxy that it’s uncomfortable to hold without a case and the stupid camera array sticks out so much it does not lie flat on a surface when put down, even with a case

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Running monkey⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Monkey: Did leave the gas on!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel attacked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ehh the industry has gone to shit, wish for something better

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel attacked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well good for you, I’m going back to grad school till I can land another job

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel attacked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you a software engineer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little miracles⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean other movies by these people or like in general?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you think freewill truly exists?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s more to life than just being comfortable, most things that are worthwhile require getting out of your comfort zone, and I think I’ve realized as I’ve grown older is that a relationship is worthwhile

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you think freewill truly exists?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who’s not been in an real relationship this is my fear as well, even if I find someone how will I keep them engaged enough for a lifetime. I rarely even text the women I get digits from, I’m just very comfortable being alone and now it’s getting problematic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WHERE ARE MY PRECISION SCREWDRIVERS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought a precision screwdriver set to replace the failing RAM on my thin lenovo laptop, which has super tiny screw on the ram slot, withing the first few turns of the screwdriver, I stripped that screw. Fucking thing would not budge, tried the rubber band trick, tried to even find somewhere I can borrow a dremel to cut a line on the head for a flat head, finally had to take it to the repair center at a Micro center and they somehow got it out. Never buying a thin laptop again, and will always check online for repair ability

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little miracles⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed and Macon Blair and Jeremy Saulnier need to do more movies together, check out their movie Blue Ruin if you liked Green Room

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little miracles⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah motorcycle clubs, the bastion of progressive, kind hearted people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little miracles⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Green Room movie is based around this
