   I code on the train using xvkbd on my pinephone. You get used to it. A good editor like vim helps a lot. You're spending most of the time thinking not typing.

   You lack freedom in urban settings due to spacial constraints. There's no reason for personal computing to be like that other than people in California wanting to concentrate money and power for themselves. The analogy in TFA is much b

   Microsoft seems to think Windows is better for ads than anything else at this point. It doesn't matter if it makes sense, the people running the show have made up their minds and game developers and players need somewhere else to go.

   Putting that in banners is so stupid, the way lynx prompts the user on each cookie was way better and I wish the larger browsers did that.

   I like being able to pay rent though.

   Because it was otherwise significantly better than my previous situation? A better question is "why is this legal?"

   At least with the company I'm at, I'm supposed to talk to my boss before releasing code from side projects.

    I used to care about this, Apple and Google changed my mind. Fuck 'em.

    Apple is effectively a small country, the individuals inside should be nominated.

    They're replacing wired headphones which were only thrown out after physically breaking and didn't put batteries in landfills.

    Often it ends up being food, sex, and sometimes housing. Just saying: it's not a good situation.

    But we can't have the alternative that's worked everywhere that's tried it: educating Women. If that happened the pervasive corruption might be questioned. Instead we'll just kill the extra children.

    Gen Z uses siloed crap because they don't know any better. At this rate they'll "free" the world from democracy as well.

    This is not much of an issue on Linux distros where everything is done in the open.

    I'm pretty sure Amtrak/VRE in the US uses synthesized voices at some stations, the one at RVR sounds almost exactly like GLaDOS.

    IMO: those weren't "simpler times." Everyone just seems to let Elon get away with saying a lot of BS on Twitter for whatever reason. Trump was the same way until he became president.

    I think they just want something consistent which is reasonable.

    I like to have dvcs and a terminal multiplexer in the VTE. I do email over ssh and pdfs in mupdf which is way lighter than the browser. I also mess with gEDA some. But yeah, gnome etc is overkill if `sudo vim etc/blah` doesn't sca

    I did this in college with FVWM but I also had a (less powerful) netbook. Computers are way cheaper if you know Linux.

    Many of these things are really competing with a $20/mo VPS so a full PC that's on 24/7 is still cheaper. Yes you could go further: use portable slim apps that fit on ARM SBCs but then you have to re-do your server config and

    Right, a closer British analogue for the NYT would probably be the daily mail.

    I know Apple used to have an ad network, I don't know if it's still running.

    I block all 3rd party scripts on my browser. The FSF has a patched version of Firefox called Icecat that's set up to do this easily.

    I used to live somewhere with terrible internet. Offline mode seems to work about 10% of the time and your better off pretending it doesn't exist.
