    You do know that professional hitmen actually exist, right? You can straight up pay a guy to kill someone for you. It would be utter insanity to ask someone who legally works for y…

    I need you to understand something. This comment is so utterly unhinged that it's either parody or something you take way, way too seriously. This is a caricature of the prototypic…

    Ten or fifteen years ago I set up an email server on a cheap VPS for myself and my then-boyfriend. It took some doing, but I got it reliable enough that we both used it as our prim…

    Porn exists in literally every medium human beings have ever used. Sculpture, paintings, photography, phone calls, audio clips, drawings, animations, text, video games, 8mm film, d…

    It's like someone took C, Python, and Perl, extracted the worst parts of all three and jammed them into one hellish language. There's not one thing about rust syntax that I enjoy. …

    I recently started using radarr and sonarr. I can just get any quality of any movie or show. It might take hours or days for obscure stuff to pop up, but mainstream media is usuall…

    I even went and disabled web search in the registry and it still takes forever. It's also terrible . "Fr" will find FreeCAD, the program I want. "Fre" pulls up "advanced system set…

    Linux has never given me a notification that says "you previously removed this search box from your taskbar, but we put it back. You're welcome" Paraphrased, but this actually happ…

    Pretty interesting. No great surprise that we've had these varied neurotypes all along, IMO. Since one of the biggest advantages of our species is our brains, it makes sense that e…

    To access the serial port remotely you need to add hardware to bridge it to the network. Or you go up to the machine and plug in another computer with a keyboard and monitor to acc…

    And what do you do when your ssh server stops working, or there's a hardware fault, a network fault, a failed OS upgrade?

    By what mechanism will cryptocurrency change the fact that the already existing wage theft laws aren't being enforced? Your original claim was that auditing of bank accounts would …

    Wouldn't be an issue with banks. The IRS could monitor outflows of the site's bank account and make sure that the employees are being paid regularly. Wouldn't be an issue with enfo…

    I mean, when 99.999% of jobs I apply to ghost me and 95% ghost me after the first interview, what do you expect? Newsflash: boomers treating everyone with complete contempt and dis…
