Fun fact, my Wii running Linux was my first server. I had a webserver running, and an IRC bouncer (ZNC). Anything outside the standard "it's available on every architecture" type s…

This is absolutely ridiculous.

They've made it into an actual skit now? I remember when it was just a regular old meme.

I could understand Discord taking issue with the UI, but the logo? White on blue isn't exactly original and/or trademark/copyright worthy.

Since the last major jailbreak for Kindle devices was released, I've been using Koreader as well on my Scribe. I have progress syncing setup with Hardcover (Goodreads alternative) …

I was genuinely hoping that this would extend back to at least the 10 series. I'm still daily driving my S10+ that I got when it first came out with no major issues other than the …

Yeah, I've read the same book multiple times before, years apart, without realizing it. Only when I went back to Goodreads later to mark it as read did I realize that... well, I ha…

I'm all for historically low housing prices, but as for the rest... I'm not sure we should invoke any sort of Black Mirror-esque scenario on the world. Reality is already dark, gri…

Volume control is a must. I had my headphones on, at normal volume, and... let's just say I didn't realize just how loud it would be. Other than that, however, this seems neat. I'v…

If we, as a species, only learned from our own personal experiences, we'd still be dwelling in caves.

Literally stood outside the DMV the other day for more than hour in sub-40F weather to get my real id.

The same is true for some other primates. Eye contact seems to be a sign of aggression: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_contact#Between_species

Visualize the text, "welcome to my Ted talk."

I mean, they quote Ian Carnelli in the article, saying that he expects a "much bigger deflection than (he) had planned". That said, the article also mentions that it will take Eart…

I'm up to about 156 replies between two emails now. My phone and smart watch were buzzing like crazy earlier for each notification.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the term "factoid" was believed to be coined by Normal Mailer in a book he wrote about Marilyn Monroe. Per said book, factoids are "fac…

The important question is this -- why does he believe those things? This is the same man that at one point tried to say that he was the founder of Tesla. Saying things that I agree…

We've had local business owners come in before that have tried to haggle with us. Even had one specifically point out repeatedly that he ran a business so he knew how it worked. Wo…

It should be accessible from the normal settings. Click on your profile avatar, settings and privacy, GoodTwitter2.

GoodTwitter2[0] is the only reason that I still use the web version anymore. I can handle the mobile interface on a mobile device, but making the desktop experience mobile-themed w…

From a worker's prospective, it sucks, but it's also rather bad from the employer's perspective as well (at least in my experience). Having to ask sick people to come in is not som…

Am I happy? No. Working retail before the pandemic wasn't the best, but it was doable. Now? I'm not sure how much longer I can do this. Between rude customers and (semi-)incompeten…

I didn't even think to try and do such with uBlock, and this precompiled list gives me all the more reason to do so. Thank you!

The site brought my S10+ to a screeching halt. I had to force-kill Harmonic, the HN client I use on my phone, just to get out of it. Site preloading via an in-app webview is nice u…

Is it really a commentary on the individual in question, though, or the state of reality?
