It’s a static processing fee of $2.95.

This is why I’m always late on my water bill. The longer I wait, the smaller the percentage of the bill it is.

Fuck you.

I don’t know, sharing videos of kids doing stupid shit doesn’t seem like the thing to do.
- Comment on The Only Solution Capitalism Has Is to Sell Us More Useless Junk: Ad makers will never say the quiet part loud, but they increasingly know that we're unhappy and looking for solutions. 2 days ago:
No, I said markets describe a type of social interaction. You inferred all.

Markets are not uniquely neoliberal nor capitalist.

Modern infrastructure is not built by markets. University materials research is not driven by markets.
It kind of is, though. Modern infrastructure is built by companies. Universities acquire materials, labor, as well as share knowledge through marketplaces of ideas and information.
“Market” is really just a construct describing social interaction. You can’t really blame it for a problem since all it is is a description of reality.
- Comment on Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution? 3 days ago:
Yeah, I really don’t think most of it’s serious. Like ribbing between friends.
Except the stupid political stuff from Republicans, like you said.

Don’t worry, the majority of Ring owners still haven’t.

That’s just not true.
- Comment on Sharkord - an open-source self-hostable Discord alternative with voice, video, and real-time messaging. 4 days ago:
Building the full stack of a functional real-time voice and video comms system as a lone dev is not a trivial undertaking.
Even if they put 40/wk or more into it, I’d still be impressed. Like I said, not impossible but these people are rare.

Less than a 4 month commit history and one dev. Not impossible maybe, but sure is suspect.

Although the current Pope is from Chicago so he knows better than to eat pizza with a fork like some kind of filthy degenerate.
They have that knife & fork deep dish out there, don’t they?

Best just seal yourself in a hermetic box and be done with it, then.
- Comment on What Happened To WebAssembly 1 week ago:
This makes questions like “how fast is WebAssembly” a bit hard to answer. […] What people actually mean is “how useful are the constructs of this language to efficient mappings of modern hardware” and “what is the current landscape of systems taking advantage of these constructs”.
- Comment on Do other female mammals smell like fish down there or is that exclusive to women? 1 week ago:
Women do not wear perfume to mask the smell of their vagina. What the fuck?
- Comment on Would we be seeing these emails involving Epstein if they were all using E2EE email service? 1 week ago:
E2EE isn’t a magic defense against a court order.
- Comment on Some rich person could cause a lot of chaos by bailing everyone out of jail that they can 1 week ago:
Funny thought, but unlikely. We could just skip the rich guy and just get rid of cash bail entirely. There isn’t likely to be much in the way of chaos.
- Comment on With all this talk about Ai not being profitable why aren't we using it in video games? I dont mean replacing developers I mean in NPCs in the game. I make them more realistic. 3 weeks ago:
I saw someone play this game, Ai2U on a livestream recently.
You wake up in a cute girl’s home who’s eager to keep you by her side! Engage with thematic stories, puzzles, and unique AI NPCs who’ll go to any lengths to protect you—even when it means contradicting themselves. Bask in meet-cutes or brace for chaos if you try to escape.
Basically, you have to vocally speak with this AI anime girl that is obsessed with you. She has you basically trapped and you some how have to convince or trick her into letting you leave.
The whole game is unhinged but it’s a pretty fun example of an LLM being used in a game.

- Comment on Discontinuing the Teensy at Adafruit 4 weeks ago:
Don’t really care about the drama, but I can appreciate this:
this is exactly why we do open source. when a closed product or exclusive channel is used as leverage, the correct response is to remove the leverage.

I want to see community DCs like we have community gardens. Municipal plots for hobby computing or offsite subsistance storage.

I won’t say VPSs don’t have their utility, but anyone framing it as an alternative to owning a PC is completely DeLuLu and need their head examined.
I’ve been trying using a VPS entirely as a development box. Something that has my entire development environment in it. Then I can just SSH to it from wherever and always have my workspace ready where I left off in tmux.
It has it’s pros and cons. But it’s definitely not a crazy idea. In fact it’s a pretty old idea.
Even game streaming has gotten some traction. And when GPUs all cost $4k, maybe GeForce streaming isn’t a bad financial choice.
- Comment on How do I properly and safely clean smartphone? 4 weeks ago:
I clean my phone using window cleaner on a paper towel. Modern aren’t that sensitive so I really don’t think you need to worry much about what you use. Just maybe don’t spray liquids directly into speakers/mic or USB ports.

Phones are nasty. Clean your phone.

- Comment on Hotel review sites should include a section where reviewers can share the internet speed 5 weeks ago:
I’d much rather just use a hotspot or something if I could. I don’t trust the other guests, and I wouldn’t trust the big hotel chains not to monetize your traffic in some way.
