Semperverus

I think it’s still valuable to document these things so that the users who insist on sticking with X11 can receive a healthy dose of this (replace diapers with vulnerabilities) when the proverbial shit hits the fan and it becomes as hackable as Windows XP

“My name, is Inigo Montoya. You kill my father. Prepare to die.”

Similarly, people who write “a 100%” to mean “a hundred percent.”

What they actually wrote winds up being “a one hundred percent.” The “one” doesn’t disappear by putting “a” in front of it. If you want to write a hundred, write “a hundred.” It’s what you’re supposed to do for smaller numbers in the English language anyway.

This isnt even a gay thing, this is a social and privacy/personal space issue. Don’t pick stalls that are far apart because “it’s gay,” do it because other people might feel uncomfortable being near other human beings period (might get stabbed or robbed, might get harassed, or might just have extreme social anxiety - the most likely) while their privates are exposed and they’re in the middle of something.

Unless there are huge dividers between each one. Then it doesnt matter as much.

I’m feeling Randy Pitchford out of 10

Then there are those of us who grew up in an era where usernames either didn’t matter or didn’t exist (depending on the platform), so you quickly became conditioned to just not reading their name let alone clicking into their whole account to see who they are. I am guilty of it, but people looking at your profile is creepy.

I know that on Reddit before I left, the only time I ever took a good hard look at someone else’s account is if they said something that made me so unbelievably angry that I had to look at everything else they said to find something to clap back with. By the time I would get partway through their post history, I would realize that I let a random stranger on the internet tilt me and then I’d calm down and feel stupid for a while before going back to my own business.

We are all strangers on the internet. Let’s keep it that way.

They would need to fix the SMS app first (lots and lots of bugs, not the least of which is that it likes to split MMS group chats up into separate 1 on 1 threads with every single participant as soon as you reply to the group)

winlator can run windows apps on android

Hey that sounds neat!

uses ubuntu as a base

Oh no…

MIT license

oh no

Have to install from github/no F-Droid build

oh no

You are clearly not the target audience then. There is a lot of extremely useful info in those model names.

This+Homeassistant web portal should make for a very nice little tablet-kiosk

We mostly use it like a regular coffee machine though, with the cups you can fill yourself. No DRM used here.

Only if you are a coffee snob who spends entirely too much on coffee machines. Its all relative.

Clean your keurig

It may also be my region. Its always been this way for me for at least the last 15 years or so.

Now, those squarepay terminals that suggest 30% tips or similar can eat rocks.

I dont think there is. There are, however, actual instant hot-water dispensers you can install as an extra sink faucet and they are amazing.

We have keurigs now 🤡

(They can dispense plain hot water)

There’s actually a loose set of rules to it. Im not sure where the specific numbers came from, but 22% of the bill as a tip is considered “excellent service”, 18% or so is considered “mid” or “acceptable” service, and anything below that is a sliding scale of how bad you think they did. 0% is either you being rude and/or saying “i dont believe in tips”, but giving a $0.01 tip is basically saying “fuck you, you piece of shit,” (because fishing out a penny or writing it in takes more effort than opting out).

Thats kind of like saying Valve and Steam are not the same thing. Like, yea, Valve owns and develops Steam, but most people will understand someone who calls the company “Steam” (even if they sound a bit daft in doing so).

There is fairly substantial rumor that there may be a smear campaign against firefox lately because they are still supporting manifest v2, which our owning class does not care for.

Mozilla has made their fair share of stupid decisions lately, but they are still leagues ahead of Google, Amazon, and the other FAANG-type companies in ethics and trustworthiness. Definitely something to keep a pulse on, but nothing to throw the baby out with the bathwater over. And if it really bothers you, use LibreWolf/Fennec.
