I think the average person just can't keep up with it. If you're technically inclined it's pretty easy and cheaper than ever to have your own durable local backups. But even so it's work.

By "ported Windows 7" do they mean "installed it as a VM in UTM running on an AVP"?

I think it was the murder of children that sparked it moreso than the disinfo surrounding it.

Don't see how that's relevant. Other laws were racist, therefore a law removing Jus Soli would be racist?

by sneed_chucker 2y ago
Yeah, I'm not really convinced. Just sounds like you feel very strongly about this and want to say "everyone who disagrees with me is racist". The majority of the world's population lives in countries that don't do

> repealing jus soli and all the other racist dogwhistles What exactly is racist about being against jus soli? Personally, I think birthright citizenship solves more problems than it causes but I also see the arguments against it. Most c

Ads are just the beginning. Paywall kvetching, loud Autoplay videos, cookie banners, mailing list pop-ups and all manner of dark patterns and anti features that hijack a simple reading experience are enough to just keep me off of those site

This site hijacks the back button and I really hate that. Shouldn't there be some way for the browser to prevent that?

Is there any point in learning emacs in 2024? I know vi/vim pretty well, but I've never bothered with emacs much since the multi key stroke navigation just seems so unergonomic to me.

Seems unlikely. VPNs have far too many legitimate uses. How many people are on VPNs for work alone? I also don't think the law in Texas is written against the consumer, e.g. it doesn't say it's illegal to view porn if you hav

by sneed_chucker 2y ago
VPNs make short work of these blocks in Texas just as they do in large parts of the Middle East and Eastern Asia where porn is illegal. Assuming you're an adult and are able to pay for and set up a VPN. That aside, I'm not convinc

It's really good to have a level of indirection between your purchases and the account where your hard-earned money sits. If you have to dispute a charge it's much nicer to dispute it when it's on a credit card bill than when

$99 a month for a 30 day "prescription" of a game. Really obscene. The healthcare industry is such a sickness in this country, I hope we get a populist one day who completely guts it.

It's not the GUI per se that people want, but it's the useful default configuration. If I'm working on a project I want to see the file tree, I want multiple editor tabs for different files, I want to be able to full text sea

Have you ever tried to daily drive them? They're simply not polished enough for serious work. Text editors seem to fall into this open source software trap where everyone has to have a pet project so you end up with 700 different text

Sorry, but neovim or doom Emacs or any other nerd editor configuration that doesn't have table stakes features out of the box is a complete non starter. As far as I'm concerned, running 100,000 lines of Lua or elisp written by lit
