Websites were still mostly selling goods and services in 2001. Not giving away hot takes and hallicinated summaries in exchange for eyeballs. In other words, after stuff like pets.com collapsed, people still found it useful to have pet food

So, naive question: If you click this button while looking at your bank account or, say, a mortgage application form, or a government website where you're paying taxes, etc... is all your form input literally just sucked into some inse

Funny, I got an email today from them saying that so many people had protested against this change, they were going to pause it for review. I don't think I've ever seen them respond to criticism like that before.

How hard would it be to print out a letter on company letterhead and circulate it in the office or snailmail it to the employees?

This is hilarious. I wish I'd thought or doing it to my 85 year old father. Maybe I could have saved him the last 10 years of following spam email links into hellish conspiracy holes and identity scams. It didn't matter how many t

Yeah, sorry. I wrote this in a completely upside down way. If you, on an iphone, write: Like: "Too many squirrels in this town" the Google Messages on Android will show: to "Too many squirrels in this town" Which is th

To your horror stories, while I'm sure many of them do involve legitimate disputes, I stopped accepting PayPal payments about a decade ago after what they did to a friend of mine. He and his wife owned a small hotel that took payment s

This is a great perspective. If anything, I'd think that crypto in 2010 had all the hallmarks of a new wave as described. The concept was open to anyone who wanted to tinker with it. It had to be sold to skeptical consumers by wild

I definitely feel like the timeline we're in has gotten worse and worse since the LHC fired up. Pretty soon all the ones that aren't apocalyptic are gonna be eaten up by black holes.

What an apt comparison you make in your apologia for dictatorships! For the imperialist Beijing regime to "reunify" with an independent state in Taiwan which it never controlled is just like the czarist empire based in Moscow &quo

Yeah, I guess it's not really fair to single out the tech worker class. Pretty much everyone in America under the age of 35 now suffers from some form of arrested development.

An unkind answer is these are the sort of navel-gazing observations had by most teenagers, and people in tech are just late bloomers. But an even less kind answer would be that self-help is big business, and to run the scam you have to buil

You make a good point. For example, the rule of law in North Korea or Equatorial Guinea is whatever the HMFIC says it is. And that's written in law, the police and courts enforce it, all proper and aboveboard in a legalistic sense. Jus

This is another troll. I'm Jewish, and last I checked claiming to be Jewish does not exempt anyone from being called a fascist. Tacking "anti-Zionist" onto that, I could name a dozen explicitly fascist organizations which are

Meanwhile, the average lifespan in the UK has shot from 46 years in 1900, when the primary heating and power source was coal, to 81 years now. It's easy to forget how much worse things were before.

For anyone who struggles to understand what fascism is, the comment above is fascist trolling in its purest form. And here's why: The essence of fascism is to explain away hatred toward other groups of people by dehumanizing them. The

Plausible deniability is the ticket. I see the killer app here being communication with people in comas. Or corpses.

FWIW, for music in my car and on my phone, I only used Plex and use Jellyfin as a failover. I just use Pi Music Player and I keep my whole MP3 collection on a memory chip, so I don't have to be online at all. Whenever I pull the chip o

The easiest way for the VM to reverse proxy stuff to my home server (without tracking my residential dynamic IP and messing with my router / NAT) is for the VM to be on tailscale too..then I can just proxy calls on the VM to the home s

Where I live, it was always free to stream from outside your LAN until July 2025. Maybe that's because I had used it for a long time and was grandfathered in, I don't know.

I recently switched to Jellyfin when Plex started charging for remotely accessing my home server. For anyone considering it, I found Tailscale + Jellyfin work a charm. There aren't great docs for doing so, and I beat my head against it

I don't know how it is in Europe, but there are some very competitive offers in the US. The Visa I use pays back 3% on travel and dining, 1% on everything else. In some cases because of how travel points work, you can book travel throu
