Not low quality: succinct. And no, I'm not going to debase myself and beg you to remove something you implemented out of pettiness. It's your error, and it's unfortunate (for me) t…

I genuinely believe the interesting aspect of Elizabeth's death is the focus it can (if we allow it) put on the inherent injustice of monarchies. But OK, you don't. Fine, its your …

Thanks, by the way.

Dang, does this post 'gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.'? Should it be on HN? I don't believe so. The only intellectually interesting thing about the monarchy is how we let t…

I made our TV an Ubuntu box. Now she knows how to use Ubuntu as well as she does Windows and iOS. Which is to say not at all, really. Click browser, browse.

Replying to myself because I guess I care too much about this, but both DS9 and the Battlestar Galactica remakes were heavily inspired by what B5 did. People say the Sopranos usher…

Is there a word for self inflicted schadenfreude? If so, that, I suppose.

Agreed. Choosing Apple is like watching The Big Bang Theory. Or buying some burnt trash from Starbucks.

Then let those users rot. To give up a fundamental component of computing because a few desperate users figure out how to sideload some garbage on their phones is one of the sillie…

It should be free since it was trained using free software.

How many people use adblockers? Is there any chance manifest v3 will lead to enough users abandoning Googles Chrome to build a community around an open alternative, like we did whe…

Because that's not equivalent to what's happening here. In this scenario, we bought a 'luxury' sedan (apple watch) that is able carry goods (quake 1) but Toyota wants you to pay th…

Ah, I see. If it helps you, that's great. Apologies if my comment hindered that for you. Unfortunately it just makes me indignant/kinda depressed.

Yeah, but it's only speaking to a small subset of the lucky folks who can do that.

Yes, but power in ETH PoS comes from the validation/staking. It's value comes from the validators consensus, no? Which you cant do without money. Or am I wrong? I'm trying to decid…

Agreed. Without the pressure of 'do this or die', these wealthy men can enjoy work. Because at any time, they can simply leave. Kinda like Mike Rowe waxing on about Dirty Jobs and …
