It's been going on at least as long as Year of the Linux Desktop. Stop trying to make fetch happen.

Sure but you do understand that makes you the outlier these days, right? Most people are on Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp or Signal or a dozen similar platforms. I try to use Signal for most communications but have friends and family that

OTP verification can largely be worked around because so many sites still use SMS codes which a dumb phone can handle. Similarly, 2FA codes can be handled on a PC without requiring a smart phone. It adds hurdles but can be done. Where it be

Right, but I want to validate my identity for cases where it is important to me. I also want to prevent others from assuming my identity in cases where it doesn't really matter (until it does). My identity here is not the same identity

There's nothing to suggest Signal is compromised. Once you are passing your Signal data through a third party...who knows?

If a third party ever truly gained traction on the national stage, what makes you think they won't be bought by the billionaire class? Musk basically bought the government purse strings for less than $300 million. That's pocket ch

Good luck. Jan 29th Trump took full credit for a roaring stock market. Today's decline is Biden's fault somehow. 30% of the country (at least) will believe this with not a single thought as to whether it makes sense.

Can anyone recommend a solid resource for learning Tagalog? Being a far less popular language than the standard "big boys" that most apps, web sites, books etc tend to offer, it's been a lot of false starts for me or simply f

For areas utilizing hydro, spring tends to bring the strongest annual flows due to snow melt.

The last of my raised number credit cards went away last month. Those old machines will only get a blank rectangle from me. Sad, because I did actually use one of those about 3 years ago when a rural gas station had power but no network.

In a multi-day event like we are talking about here, couldn't a shop owner revert to a paper ledger? I mean, it would suck and transactions would take much longer but if the alternative is people starving or having your inventory loote

Won’t most Android phones accept a USB device for reading/storage? Not much iPhone penetration in the developing world.

I think it's a well intentioned safety feature that was never fully thought through. Locking the doors in a crash can prevent a passenger from being ejected from a vehicle. However, if there is no reliable way to unlock the door once t

Then why haven't they updated their site to inform potential users? It would make me worry it's about to be an abandoned project. I've dealt with enough of those in my life.

Presumably, anyone looking to buy your home would visit and quickly ascertain whether or not your town is crap.

Same thing happened to my Dad when he took us to Disneyland in the 80s. About the time the rental car agency was sending out the spare set of keys, he noticed the items in the backseat weren't ours.

Is that total rollovers or rollovers per mile? Because there were a hell of lot more Broncos on the road than Suzuki ever sold across their entire lineup.

Which is harder for the average thief to acquire, a bluetooth "kit" off a shady website or a friggin' tow truck?

I couldn’t afford too many cassettes growing up. I managed to save a few roadside discards and add them to my collection. I distinctly remember being introduced to Whodini that way while living in the farmlands of Michigan.

I wish I could be as optimistic as you with regards to human nature. While we may come out the other side with a world that solves the real problems AI will create. I fear millions of people will have their lives destroyed along the way. Ha

Why not? Money is fungible. A dollar is a dollar. Why should investment dollars be taxed less than those earned through the sweat of one's brow?

We were on our way to the ER when my kid was able to sneeze out a Cheerio he'd shoved up his nose while we were out running errands. He's now about to start grad school, so they can learn.

I've never tried it but I can almost guarantee any bag placed on top of my trash bin would end up falling off and laying the the nearby grass when the truck tries to tip the bin. For most of the year my truck comes by before dawn. Even

Nope. A modern dishwasher uses 2-3 gallons per load. If your dishwasher has Eco modes or a half-cycle mode, you can use even less. A typical kitchen faucet will deliver 2 gallons per minute. If you run your faucet for longer than that, and

A monthly transit pass costs me $100 where I am in the US. Also, as long as you use the same payment method every time, the system tracks when you've reached the daily max and monthly max and stops charging you for the remainder of the
