Only if they grew up near a BBQ joint

> Who on Earth are you to decide what is the "better" use for labor? > In capitalism, people get to decide for themselves what they work on Feels like there are some mixed signals …

Yes. That would the point of democracy, if ours wasn't in shambles.

> It provides unaccountable power outside the democratic process. Doesn't help when the government isn't maintaining or enforcing guardrails for the ultra wealthy. This is a war on…

Don't worry, it's all worth it so long as we can get braindead summaries we didn't ask for, pretend to be the 10x engineer we always wanted to be, and generate fake videos for inte…

I like those but am wary since it was reported to be prone to rollover when getting frisky with it. Was that much of a concern for you?

My favorite bike was an early aluminum framed Trek that I upgraded practically every part of myself. The bonded frame creaked but it rode great for thousands of miles. It got stole…

I wonder how many sysadmin or adjacent careers that scene helped to foster. As a kid JP was a favorite of mine, and eventually I got into Linux as an older teen. That sequence ceme…

That would be nice! The ones I get stuck on are so obvious once the word is revealed that just a reshuffle of the letters would help. Maybe give the player 3 chances to re-scramble…

I have a few containers at home and switched to podman, it was a pleasant surprise to see how how easy it was to drop it in as a replacement.

Yeah 9 times out of 10 I'd rather go to Popeyes. It is greasy but it's spiced well and I can't think of a single bland thing on their menu. I'll say though that the customer experi…

Menu prices in the restaurant are ridiculous now. The only way I can stomach buying fast food is through deals on their apps, which I find very anti-consumer and predatory. It's al…

That's my experience as well - my family had a 2600, but the Genesis was our first modern (for the time) game console. I remember fondly all the trips to the video rental store and…

I've still got my ouya, wonder if it still works. It was a fun idea, even though I mostly just used it as an emulator box. The controllers were neat but a bit janky, I always had i…

A series of booby traps based on a phonetic pattern would be hilarious. fog, dog, log, jog, hog, bog, pog, nog Enveloping fog Dogs and wild pigs set loose Log launches at you off a…

A wooden battering ram from the ceiling does wonders. The fog&dog&log never fails.

This is an accurate take. From a tech perspective, AI and ML are great. It's a neat and successful experiment that has a lot to offer. The fact it's being pushed on all of us as th…

He's fine with what it can do, he got it when he was 7. Some mobile games, music, streaming apps. It's about as cruel as the 10yo MacBook I gave my daughter when she was younger. S…

We do this with my kids, but really it's only a side effect of my love of archaic technology and isn't really forced. My boys have their own walk-man cassette players, and I've mad…

Yeah that is a bit of a disappointing mislead with this being an article about retro-tech. I was hoping it was a display of some of the mix tapes or other peripherals they were usi…

There's a line to toe - each kid is different, but with my daughter she went from a flip phone in middle school, to a smart phone in high school. We didn't turn on mobile data for …

20 years ago I was running linux as a desktop for fun. It certainly was not as easy to setup as Windows.

I recently built 2 mini PCs for my kids to play games on, and went with Bazzite. It was really surprising how put together it all is. The steam integration is seamless and it can p…

Thanks for sharing. It helps after seeing so many edgy "don't let the door hit you on the way out" type replies.

My oldest is on the tail end of Gen-Z and is vehemently anti-AI. This isn't a position I've been vocal about, she just kind of expressed her disdain for it one day. I've been in IT…
