You can just say youre not comfortable lending a charger and instead take custody of their device to charge or own a really cool long cable which shows your intent to compromise even in the presence of boundaries others aren’t prepared to understand.

That… was the gimmick…

As if, the console’s a scam and the game pricing is just the cherry on top. Half committing to caring about how much things cost is a waste of time, either acknowledge they’re both garbage or stop spreading this half assed attitude.

I’ve realized how easy it is to just actually run a network rather than half ass it with tailscale. I recommend this, it’s fun.

MFW I forget we are talking about two random companies who provide a service that can’t be described as either of those things

Nah, modern stud finders can tell the difference between “drywall with stud behind it” and “drywall without stud behind it” with some rf whatever the hell it does

It is not a mistranslation

You know search engines have been answering literally all of your example queries for over a decade now? Those are all the lowest hanging fruit ever as far as search engine queries pre “AI’” go

What’s Linux? Why are you making a strawman to found yoer disagreement, there is no inherent value to what you believe to be obvious.

“Linux the kernel” is a wonder of the software world. One free and open source kernel codebase to rule them all, a culture, a license that enshrines that culture. The kernel is great as it is.

“Linux the kernel packaged with software used on the desktop” is flaming garbage. That’s not to say it’s worse, modern windows is like using the lava from Chernobyl to keep warm on a brisk evening. MacOS is relatively acceptable but Apple isn’t. Open source BSD based OSes are cumbersome on the edges of general computing. Android is all but Google OS at this point. Ultimately no practical, actually useful alternatives to linux on the desktop actually exist. This does NOT mean we have to convince ourselves it is actually good.

“Linux the kernel and a server OS package” is great, can’t go wrong with this. Love it, genuinely.

“Linux for embedded devices” is a fucking travesty. Still happens.

Various opinion roundup:

• nix is the only case of anyone ever truly imagining what they could do with a Linux system

• “open source” does not provide value, the implications do, when true

• Linux is as secure as your dedication to never using software from outside the package manager is. Oh you installed discord? steam? compiled something and fetched dependencies? Those aren’t the package manager, oops! (Discord gladly downloads its own updates whether you think you’ve stopped that or not)

• Fewer viruses you’ve heard of

• Regular security updates is a low effort troll given the corporate OSes are paid to do so

You’re not even right. You are genuinely activating the SIM card and anyone around you paraphrasing to “activating a phone” is also correct, because nobody cares what other meaning you personally wish to ascribe to the task.

TFW you have to respect the fact we fundamentally aren’t suited to comfortably sit around all day

That’s not really how this works

I don’t hate the french I just gotta free up some space by deleting the language pack :(

You don’t know what the word “application” is lol

Y’know… I would suggest a decent proof of FSD being worthless garbage is the fact you’d think a car which can drive itself should probably be able to automatically stop itself.

Even when under manual control the car should be able to go “ah shit this aint the road anymore, those are some trees and a fence I’m headed towards way too fast” and try to stop and perform risk mitigating maneuvers.

After that we can talk about whether the car might be able to drive itself.

Sometimes I think about the fact drywall walls are basically as effective as bike locks when it comes to actual protection or security.
