Some people are strong willed, some people are followers. Some people are deep thinkers, others are quick wits. Some people plan, and some only live in the moment. Everyone has different tools they use to navigate the world.

You hit the nail on the head there. Blacklists just don't work for users. They work for providers, but only for CYA. Users need tools to help them find good useful things. This brings my morning routine to mind, which I explicitly desi

How about "Starting wage housing"? Something that implies a financial beginning rather than a financial slump or misfortune.

I do not for a second advocate censorship. No content should be barred from uploading, that should be a retroactive process always, otherwise free speech is impossible. Gotta make mistakes to learn from the correction, and that is especiall

Giving people suggestions based on their profiled interests was a nice toy idea, but it's very dangerous in the real world. I worry about that often with my kid online now.

The way things are going with centralization, pretty soon the web itself will be unsuitable for adult media. Maybe we need a xxx:// protocol instead of the .xxx domain suffix.

As is, your statement serves only to lump the parent's opinion into a bucket that is easier for you to judge. What's your actual point?

Maybe they should call it something more real like "Rent you can afford with two weeks of minimum wage work".

The 1% own the media companies which are happy to tell you what a winner looks like, and there is a general belief that voting with your heart is inferior to voting for a probable winner.

Many tout their laziness as efficiency.

You could certainly appeal to their appreciation for reliability. Consider this, does an electric vehicle have ANY emissions reducing equipment at all that one must maintain? The unreliability of the emissions gear is usually what comes up

Simple and reliable pgp encryption will outlast tls 1.3, and rural users (quite reasonably) expect more life from their devices than city folks. No one is going to download and update with a 200MB image at 2400bps afterall.

Ace hardware. It was not cheap.

Maybe all the recent news about facebook using misdirection is in and of itself misdirection to emotionally distract you from their technical failings.

Pretty sure the 4 usb ports and ethernet were all being fed from one root usb controller port via a hub and usb ethernet bridge. You can easily add what they removed if you need it, or pay the $10 extra for the bigger board.

Most sd cards are formatted fat32, and do not have a virtual filesystem cache and write scheduler buffering work in ram for them. Also raspis do NOT like big fast SD cards with tight tolerances. I've had the best luck with old class 4

I haven't used scientific linux since version 6, but it was a very nice centos alternative at the time.

I used a very thick (4") filter rated for smoke particles when the wildfires this year blew their smoke down to Seattle. The filter went from white to a very interesting shade of grey in 3 days. Wife was able to sleep again though, so

In many cases a one line reply is simply an acknowledgement of receipt.

Personally I prefer replacing the text and then applying a light blur. Let them feel smart for a few seconds.

Ever tasted raw caffeine? Yeah I am sure.

It might be more courteous to link to a mirror.

Perhaps what you are noticing is bitterness from caffeine.

These are very nice and detailed feature figures, but I do not see that intel has any advantage from them (possibly my reading comprehension is failing here...). Can you cite a source that clearly shows intel is manufacturing and selling so

This is really fun to watch. AMD is giving people EXACTLY what they want (again), and intel is having to fight dirty (again). Possible example (not at all out of character for intel): why are so many people parroting that 10nm technical sup

Intel has done nothing it can stand behind since the pentium 3. That chip was amazing. They had to dead end P4 development and go back to a P3 base to develop core. Now I betcha they will now have to dead end core and go back to P3 again. I

I signed up for mastodon to use for posting electronics projects and getting feedback. It's... more of a platform to talk at people rather than with people. I do not mind that my friends are not on it, and I'm almost glad my famil
