- Comment on 988, the suicide hotline, is stupid. The Canadian suicide helpline states cle 3 days ago:
Hey, man … could be worse.
In the US, you get the same deal, except the cops will then haul you off to a mental hospital for an involuntary psych hold … which will then charge you for it.

All the more reason to pirate their shit, so you don’t need to run their launcher.

If only we could find some way to fuel AI datacenters with corn…
- Comment on How does one solder a condensator ? 5 weeks ago:
Did you pull this off something used?
Typically when sold new, they have much longer leads, which makes soldering easier, and then you trim off the extra lead length you don’t need.
With the leads this short, it would be very challenging even for an expert to solder this without heat damaging the capacitor.

Or … they’ll just buy up all the hardware (including all production capacity for future hardware), making it prohibitively expensive for people to buy their own hardware.

Well, you’ll never have a relationship like that if you stay home watching anime all day…

Only the lucky Irish survived. That’s why all the surviving ones are lucky.
- Comment on US Bans import of new foreign-produced inverters 2 months ago:
Aw, motherfuckers. This is going to make things much more expensive for me, isn’t it?
Maybe I should make a quick trip to Canada and smuggle one in.
- Comment on The end of uBlock Origin in Chrome is now weeks away, not months 4 months ago:
Guess it also depends on your system. I pretty routinely keep several hundred firefox tabs open with no issues … but I’ve got 80GB of RAM to go around, so it’s fine.
- Comment on The end of uBlock Origin in Chrome is now weeks away, not months 4 months ago:
If you keep 1000 tabs open, maybe. Otherwise, it’s not too bad.
- Comment on The end of uBlock Origin in Chrome is now weeks away, not months 4 months ago:
I was scared for a long time to switch
But … why?
I’m honestly asking here. What’s so scary about using a different browser? I’ve got (let me count…) at least 6 different browsers installed on my current machine, switching between them for different tasks each of them is better at.
It’s not like switching from Windows to Linux, where you actually have to say goodbye to Windows (maybe) in order to make the switch. You can easily install Chrome and Firefox, using whichever one suits you at the moment. So what’s so scary about switching?

Maybe then Chrome can finally die.
- Comment on The Empire is Responsible for the Imperial System 4 months ago:
IMO, the UK especially has no room to talk when it comes to measurement systems. They still use an unholy hodgepodge of imperial and metric and on top of that they have just a few weird as fuck things, like using ‘stone’ to refer to people’s weight and nothing else.

… I’m just impressed with the hexadecimal keyboard. Did you buy that somewhere or did you custom-make it yourself?

Does the letter have a return address?
Could always use more free orphans for … various projects.
