I just don't trust smart home stuff, it all seems like a big data collection nightmare at best, at worst you could have criminals and government nannies both spying on you 24/7. I still use incandescent lights though too.

BASIC was the thing that allowed non-programmers to easily start out. It was the whole reason home computers initially took off - they all ran BASIC, source code was mostly compatible across systems (as long as you didn't use special f

They need some good exclusive games. Nobody's buying these headsets because there's no compelling use case. And nobody wants to wear goggles to work in a virtual cubicle either.

Everybody's still on X but they have their Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, and whatever other garbage I forget in their bios, linked. But they're still on X because that's where the people are.

A couple years ago I created a new gmail, with a very long address. Didn't tell anybody, sign up with ANYTHING. Just parked it and let it sit dormant. Within a DAY I had my first spam. Google is an ad company and it's entirely rea

Everybody hates these rental scooters, I've yet to find somebody IRL or even who can pass a Turing test online who enjoys them or thinks they're a good idea.

Why shouldn't people expect Linux to run on ancient computers? I guess this is why we have NetBSD.

I don't care for Wayland because I don't care for the FreeDesktop people, Red Hat or IBM. It's also horribly bloated, x.org runs comfortably on very very little hardware, Wayland is an incredible resource hog by comparison. I

What outfit are you with? You girls need to stop punching yourselves. EDIT: Oh you're a Rust shill too, I can practically guess the building you're working at.

They would be if the punishment was severe enough. Heck, businesses might even become afraid to collect personal information if there was a risk of serious bodily harm and financial penalties for letting it loose.

It can be cheaper to kill them. One appeal allowed, to be finished within one year of the sentencing. Then, simply use a bullet rather than expensive medical death.

Usenet's been on the up trend for years now. It was dying in the '00s and early '10s. Now it's recovering. People are tired of Discord and Reddit, and even Hacker News.

Archive.org has it all. It's not in a usable format, it's like tar dumps. But it's on there.

Oh thank God, this is the best news for Usenet in decades. 100% of Usenet spam now comes from Google.

We can't, the technical capability ensures it will be used. The ONLY option is to ditch most Internet use, go back to pre-backdoored hardware, do everything over Tor or i2p, and basically force the surveillance state to manually stake

I've always had trouble meeting women because of my text bubble color. This was perhaps my only chance to find love. Now I'm never getting a girlfriend.
