  • "Yeah, well, I'm gonna go build my own wire! With ions! And plasma!"

  • I've been posting "it's always projection" over and over and over again because it keeps being accurate, but holy shit!

  • It's not adopted widely because every single smart home device marketed to normies is infected with cloud bullshit. Go to Home Depot or whatever and look on the shelf: literally every single product will have "Works with Alexa," "Works with Google Home," and/or "Works with Apple HomeKit" badges stamped all over the package, but not a single one will mention a damn thing about Home Assistant even when the device actually is compatible. The closest you get is ones that mention "Matter" 'cause it's at least supposed to be a standard, but it feels like it's getting slow-walked harder than CableCard sometimes (and if you don't remember how that worked out, the answer is "not well").

    I would almost call it a conspiracy against openness, but it's really just the banal result of no rent-seeking leading to no excess profit to plow back into marketing... which is even worse.

  • All these comments and nobody's basic-bitch enough to mention Imagine by John Lennon? I don't know if it's the best song, but it's the obvious first one I thought of when I read the question.

  • The archaic letters are one thing, but I cannot abide the comma splice!

  • Maybe something to do with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance? Europe tolerates a lot less accessibility by necessity since they have so many older buildings, so maybe that translates over into having more tolerance for stairs when boarding planes?

  • They don't get to dictate the one true way, and rewrite history.

    Exactly, which is why you shouldn't believe them when they pretend conservatism is anything but defending hierarchy.

  • "More damage, then Vietnam[-scale damage in addition]"

  • Just like 1995 Internet compared to 2025 Internet.

  • "Conserving the corrupt establishment" is the only thing "conservative" has ever meant. Any claims to the contrary have only ever been lies intended to delude their marks and useful idiots.

  • Yeah, nah, that's "look what you made me do" abuser rationalization bullshit that nobody should be falling for either.

  • Gee, I wonder why you visit so rarely?

  • The undeniable fact remains that Russia is the one who attacked Ukraine and is occupying Ukraine's territory, not the other way around. Do people really not understand that makes Russia the aggressor and Ukraine the defender? Are they just flat-out stupid?

    I do not understand how the propaganda is as effective as it apparently is.

  • Especially because it must be Free Software!

    (No seriously, with HVAC systems often being "smart" these days, that's my primary cobsideration.)

  • I mean, you're not that far off. Those old canals really are kinda like watery railroads, in terms of being designed for narrow cargo-carrying vehicles that can't go up hills easily.

  • without a backplate.

    ...but why? That's not even mechanically stable! What're ya gonna do, re-seat the card every time you move the computer?!

    I mean, I get that it was a different time, but that feels janky even by '80s or '90s standards. Were these DIY cards or something?
