  • Am I the only one who’s more bothered by “wyd” missing a second w than by the picture?

  • I’m pretty sure Florida Man has been sentenced to a couple of millennia worth of prison time by now.

  • What happened to Lord Buckethead?

  • As a late Gen X, I was completely lost. So, I guess it’s official: I don’t get your generation.

  • Ah thank you. I was unaware of the matrix protocol.

  • I’m obviously out of the loop, because I don’t know. Can someone explain?

  • But that’s exactly their point: it it’s legal for them to bug your house when all prerequisites are met. That last part is very important. Without voicing my opinion: that is the current law in many western democracies.

    End-to-end encryption means that even with very stringent limitations, they would never be able to listen in. None of the previous spaces “beyond their reach” has been that.

    And BTW as far as I know churches have never been this, legally. There was a time when you could find asylum in a church, and you couldn’t be arrested, but they were never barred from law enforcement listening in.

    And, for the record, this part is my opinion: end-to-end encryption should be possible, and without backdoors.

  • That’s another benefit: no more meetings.

  • I’ve been a proponent of this for ages. It makes no sense to cross some imaginary line and suddenly time shifts. Time should change constantly as you move east or west, up or down. Everyone has their own personal time, which is constantly updated.

    Bonus: no more daylight savings switch.

  • He was using a decimal comma. The counter offer was 1000 times more than he wanted to pay.

  • Exactly! Even the indicator light of my speakers bothers me during long nightly sessions. I want to see the screen, nothing else.

  • You mean the thing that Opera had in the 90s, and Vivaldi since inception?

  • That’s a misconception. Farmers lobbied heavily against DST. Their work does not abide by the clock; they milk when cows need milking, and they harvest when there’s enough light, no matter what some clock says.

    In Europe, DST as we know it now was first introduced by Germany during WW1 to preserve coal, then abandoned after the war, and widely adopted again in the 70s. In the US it was established federally in the 60s.

    This is all glossing over a lot of regional differences and older history. But yeah, US farmers were very much against the idea.

  • Wait ‘til you hear about magnets!

  • Unfortunately now it seems to be the worst of both worlds: companies don’t have a contact email, but only a phone number and sometimes a useless chat bot. When I finally work up the courage to use the phone, I have to go through a long automated menu system, and/or wait for half an hour.

    Once I actually get a human on the phone it’s never as bad as my mind made it out to be -but I would still very much prefer an email.

  • Vivaldi with built-in ad block. Every once in a while YouTube changes something and ads get through for a couple of days. Then a Vivaldi update fixes it again quickly. I assume Vivaldi is too small a target for YouTube to care more.

  • I often feel this bot is no better than selecting random bits from an article. I’m exaggerating a bit, but it’s clear the bot doesn’t actually understand the essence of what’s written.

    That said, I do still appreciate it for getting at least a gist of what an article is about. And I very much appreciate the people working on it and making it available.

  • Should’ve brought a shrubbery.

  • You’re looking at this the wrong way. Why would you want a KVM? What you want is a genuine Apple (tm) Mighty (tm) Magic (tm) Mouse (tm) with a single button.
