- Comment on The Job Market Is HellYoung people are using ChatGPT to write their applications; HR is using AI to read them; no one is getting hired. 2 days ago:
Yeah it’s not completely dead. I work as a freelancer and I haven’t applied for a job in years, yet I have… 8? I don’t even know any more. Most of my work comes from people that say, “hey I know a guy that need someone for such-and-such gig, are you available?”
Although, sometimes they’re all slow and o get an unplanned week off work every now and then. January is usually the worst.

No doubt. Why do you need an account on their servers to use a server on your own hardware? So dumb.

Mine was a trailer tire on a triaxle. I still had 11 tires back there, so it was easy to find a safe spot to stop. I got lucky n that way.
- Comment on Just a little bit more 1 week ago:
Yeah they happen with enough regularity that companies aren’t surprised, especially if they have a lot of trucks.
So the smart move as a car-driver is not to linger by the tires ever. Really, just never linger by them.
- Comment on Just a little bit more 1 week ago:
It’s 110-120 for semi trucks. Just a note to not linger by their tires. Blowouts are statistically uncommon, but there’s a lot of trucks out there

Yeah I mean, I get that it’s not all of you. I suppose I don’t make that clear in my first comment though. My bad.

Hey, I’m not making judgements here, but it shouldn’t be surprising that fucking people in animal costumes while railing ketamine and MDMA comes across as weird to some people.

Not if you buy a gift card before you find a game you want

You know weird means. Don’t be daft.
To clarify my position a bit, I don’t care what people do as long as everyone involved consents, but that doesn’t mean I have to accept it as normal.

Nothing as far as I’m concerned. It’s the fur suit that makes it weird.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Every furry I’ve known personally has participated in these.
Clean up your scene and people won’t associate that with you.

How do you mean low value? I definitely see value in being able to have every package available offline in certain settings.
Maybe you got a cabin with a sick (single player) gaming setup but no internet (I dunno I’m spitballin’) and you want to do some updates.
Pack up a drive with everything possible and make it happen!

Yeah and I know one of my laptops only has a 250GB drive.
I thought it was a typo at first, but it was explained. I get it now :)

Yeah no doubt no doubt. I thought it was maybe a typo or something and was supposed to be 4.3, like someone hit 0 on the numpad :D
It makes sense now

I kid, but Linux is the third option. I’ve been getting to know it lately and am just about ready to switch my main machine.

I just installed Mint and some games on 5 Thinkpad T420s my boss was going to throw out. Sunday’s LAN party was pretty fun.
Is this my future?
- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 2 months ago:
I dunno. It’s plugged in directly to the modem/router provided by my ISP while my wifi is provided by a separate mesh setup 🤷♂️
- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 2 months ago:
Yea same I don’t even care
- Comment on So sick 2 months ago:
If anyone wants the actual explanation:
It’s cuz they think it’s the moon, which they instinctually fly towards for some reason, but they’ve never be able to reach it so the idea of “light=hot” doesn’t occur to them.
Basically, they dumb.

Incognito/Private Browsing came about when people were sharing computers more often. It doesn’t save history and cookies and whatnot on your device. It’s to prevent the next user from getting in to your bank account.
Google and whoever else will still know your IP and can use that to cross-reference whatever other data they have on you.
