I quite like the IKEA bulbs and buttons, but not their base station, I just use a standard zigbee one.

However, I don’t want matter, I just want zigbee. Its well behaved, a known quantity and they’re light bulbs. Giving them an IP stack is just increasing the attack target footprint. I do not understand the benefits or appeal of it.

Motherfucker do your legs have to get your suburban up to 30 again after a red light?

I wonder if theres an argument for an automatic down-scaler after watching it for retention, but tying it to the original torrent file at the same time.

the best bit was the third time I was explaining what I had done to get a previous ban 🙃

My 15 year old reddit account is gone because I said “Peter Theil should be turned into soup” three times.

Fuck 'em.

How does the removal process work? Self-administered?

I can tell you right now that not everything that goes to recycler and gets a cert even gets wiped.

Someone, somewhere said it was, therefore, the box is ticked.

And this will remain so until there isn’t an economic imperative.

We need to make our own organizations not run on the profit motive alone

Nice little business you got there, thriving. Would be a shame if private equity bought it now, wouldn’t it.

We need to do something about the fiscalization of fucking everything before we start giving human rights to greenbacks.

We are in a society that has fallen prey to a memetic money religion and wishful infinite returns thinking.

Kind of a gross generalization.

Do you even look at your fellow motorists? Its hard to go more than 5 minutes without seeing someone texting and driving.

Neither do I and I never said I did.

Then why are you complaining about their legitimate use of the public space we all have an equal right to?

The traffic laws as applied to bicycles are stupid and a result of shite infrastructure that forces them to share the road with cars. And don’t “bUt iTs ThE lAw” me either.

The games industry is built upon the idea of exploiting the young and talented, and every MBA involved in management should be fucking ashamed. Games are the pinacle of the human persuit of increased leisure time… When we do get to post-scarcity, post-work, its all we’ll do together.

The money is the problem, as is the MBA mills churning out poisonous “leaders” with no grasp of their product, just knowledge of how to squeeze returns.

Everyone makes fun of coding bootcamps, but the MBA mills and babies first economics classes are fucking ruining our societies.

the fediverse is frustrating like that.

I consider if you’re typing words into a computer the CIA is reading it. Its a generally good idea to assume everything is already compromised.

They’re currently snarfing all the encrypted data to later decrypt it when the technology becomes possible, betting on quantum computing to break our current encryption technologies.

Its the only explanation I have for why AI needs disk storage. They’ve already indexed the internet, no?

Also, impressively, it ran like butter on a HTC ChaCha about 10 years after that phone was relevent, and was a joy to message on.

Bad link

“Going to talk to my mother and being updated about all the extended family goings on” is a valid option.

Facebook and publicly branding yourself is for feeding bigtech pictures of you and your loved ones faces. Don’t do that.

Discord is by far worse. 1bn in VC funding and all that Nitro and it still fucking sucks ass.

It also enables far more of the “discord moderator” stereotype user behaviour.

At least telegram runs on garbage and doesn’t require 4GB just for electron to sit in my system memory like a fat pigeon.

The car is 2 tons of protective steel. The man on the bicycle is made out of flesh and bones and a little bit of aluminium scaffolding pole, maybe some carbon fiber. One of these is commutiing and not paying attention. The other is engaged in exercise and controlled risk (controlled risk in the same way some people opt to ride motorcycles). I do not begrudge someone working their body in a public space.

They have exactly the same right to be crawling up the hill at 3mph as I do in a crawler gear driving a truck up hill. We’re both holding up traffic, but you don’t get upset at me because my goods vehicle would crush your passenger car like a bug. Why the contradiction?

If you can’t see the difference in potential energy (and potential probability for a fatal outcome) then you’re just as lost.

Some people have access to corporate cast-offs, so there are some people sat on massive supplies of used gear… It all disappears somewhere eventually 🤭

If I never have to hear Tim Sweeny’s stupid opinions again, Disney can have it.

I want to get rid of coal, but also want to increase nuclear power. I exist. I am people.

Newsflash, dipshit, you’re not the player character.

🇳🇱 lol no

its bad enough they made you wear helmets on scooters in 2023
