  • When someone asks what I like

    Jump

  • Its the secret to cooking for guests. Everyone is like "wow, your an amazing home-chef", and im just hoping noone notices the entire diced onion and minced garlic I carelessly threw into the meal.

  • The Seussifixion

    Jump

  • My head canon is that Whoville is in a post-apocalypse type setting that has had multiple "end of the world" events, such as the people living in Caves of Qud. Couple of grey goo incidents could have made a world like that.

  • should i buy hell divers? i hear about it very less these days, is it worth it?

    Jump

  • The latest patch reduced the file size dramaticly, so it runs a lot better.

    And as stated by others, for best expirence, play with friends, sweaty players tend to bounce off it as there is no rankings or ratings and global progress is slow. Have fun, Freedom and managed-democracy await your support.

  • North Korean infiltrator caught working in Amazon IT department thanks to lag — 110ms keystroke input raises red flags over true location

    Jump

  • Yep, thats corporate monitoring software for you. Everyones got it, if you dont see it, assume its there. If the PC is not yours and or built with your own hands, assume its bugged or key logged. This goes for school PCs as well for the youngins, this is not to make people paranoid, just manage expectations on privacy. If you didnt make it, assume its recorded.

  • Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog

    Jump

  • You know you can stand up your own Matrix-Synapse server as part of your home lab, its the "we have Telegram at home" answer.

  • Trump-appointed board renames Kennedy Center to 'Trump Kennedy Center'

    Jump

  • Like how the Tappan Zee Bridge is now the Mario M. Cuomo Sr. bridge (they rebuilt it a while back, and its not named after Governor bad touch, its named after his dad).

    CT re-did their signs, NY re-did their signs, but NJ being the spiteful bastards they are (love ya New Jersey, keep it up) still has the old Tappan Zee signs all over the place.

  • What is your most important tool?

    Jump

  • My Fluke Intelatone copper cable tracer and pin mapper. Had one as a company tool back early in my career. Bought one for myself when I moved and just carry it around in my magic bag of tricks. It is just the best at finding its other half, so much so that ive had multiple employers buy their own because I use my own and wanted me to stop using the shitty cheap ones they get off amazon.

  • Fact check: Trump repeats numerous false claims in prime-time address | CNN Politics

    Jump

  • But were his pants on fire?

  • Do you think western countries would benefit from adopting Asian Countries' harsh anti-drugs policies? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • No, im of the opinion that the Amsterdam model is the most ethical response (so far) to drug abuse and mental health assistance. If addiction is a factor, punishment is not a deterant (and atleast in The US, an excuse for authorities to abuse the carve-out in the 13th ammendment). Treating people as patients instead of criminals provides the most good to society.

  • What is the technical hill you are willing to die on in your industry?

    Jump

  • WELCOME TO THE OFFICE OF SECRET INTELIGENCE SAMPSON!

    [Co. Gathers jumps out of the plane without a parachute]

  • Iceland and Greenland

    Jump

  • The vikings discovered Iceland and Greenland and named them accordingly. Pranked!

  • Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

    Jump

  • I like that reference, im stealing it.

  • Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

    Jump

  • I was in the trenches for that nonsense fixing stuff daily because of them. Oracles wacky tacky shit that kept their users locked to Java 7.21 for a decade past the support date. Bloated language packs and not being able to keep up with basic HTML tags... You dont know how good yall have it today.

    I dont care how much MS dresses up Edge, we know its just Chrome in a poorly fitted suit. The old addage still holds true, Microsofts default browser (formerly IE, currently Edge) is the best browser to use to go download another browser.

    [This concludes grumpy old tech speech]

  • Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

    Jump

  • Given what Microsoft is smoking these days, no AI would be a selling point, and Mozilla does not seem to realize they are playing with fire. Their userbase chose their product instead of using the system defaults of Chrome, Safari, and Internet Exploder. Their users, just like Lemmy, are tech-litrrate and more socially concious than the masses. If an alternative or fork appears, with sufficent support, and Mozilla does not put the breaks on their AI train, were all just going to jump ship. We do it every time a new OS is installed, there is no Firefox loyalty, only lesser evils.

  • A cool guide to Dante's Divine Comedy

    Jump

  • Oh 100%

    The history and context of its writing is half the fun. Its a spite filled romp through a roman flavored cross-polinated afterlife. There are tons of things that modern bible folk would whinge at if you point out the hipocracy. Like how they discount all previous pantheons, yet characters from greek and roman myth canonically are present in Inferno, Chiron is not only alive in ring 7, he is also gainfully employed peppering arrows at one souls attempting to leave one of hells many boiling water features. Its all one grand myth, polytheism, monotheism, its all connected through stories humans tell themselves.

    If you beleive its sources are real, you do you, I dont judge. If you dont, thats good too, but remember a majority of the people on this planet do and are less likely to act with logic and reason as a primary prerogative. Its handy to know their lore so you know what to say to get them to leave you alone.

  • Trump brands fentanyl a ‘weapon of mass destruction’ in drug war escalation

    Jump

  • Aww shit... Here we go again.

  • Is entertainment getting worse or am I getting old?

    Jump

  • I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was, and now what I am isnt it, and what is it is weird and scary to me.

    And it will happen to you.

  • A cool guide to Dante's Divine Comedy

    Jump

  • Correct, but through cultural osmosis, a lot of The Divine Comedy has become indistinguishable from their actual beliefs or is just head-canon for people. (Its not like most of em read or understand their books anyway)

    Plus, Dante was a mad lad and wrote a bunch of people he did not like (including 2 popes) into his funny hell fanfic.

  • Shafer Canyon Overlook, Canyonlands National Park-Island in the Sky, Utah

    Jump

  • When I was at the park we saw a huge SUV navigate that road in the first photo. This Uber Black motherfucker spent 30 min trying to climb that cliff and we just watched and cheered them on. I do not know how they made it... Canyonlands is not a park to mess around in.
