39.5 here: you're young. You might not believe it, but you actually are. Plenty of time to course-correct or even start over. Rather than finding coping mechanisms for the crippling depression of having arrived at an advanced age witho

In other words, "let the weak die...I'm tired of wearing a mask." https://twitter.com/kombatliberlism/status/14815700214909747... I am astonished how many people prioritize the social/pub/

You sound like someone who responds on message boards with ad-hominems rather than counterarguments, nice to meet you!

This always boils down to the push-pull between self-centered and group-centered people. The self-centered only care about themselves, and favor letting the weak die to further that end. I think they sound like monsters, and they probably t

I have a modern habit of waking up for no reason at between 03:30-04:30, being unable to get to sleep until around 06:00, and then having to drag my ass out of bed for off-farm remote work no later than 07:45. It sucks. We don't live i

This is just adding more cancer, not solving a problem. Great for the people who get to cash in, bad for society as a whole Leave California. Stop privileging it. The world is large.

MacPorts is based on apt. You might enjoy using that more than brew.

No. And it can barely do anything without crashing. I hate mine.

Great work, but since (A) at the very least my every attempt to buy a POWER9 system has been thwarted, mainly by the manufacturer themselves constraining availability or otherwise being unable to supply, and (B) POWER10 has IP issues that

My employer for currently blacklists Firefox from being used to launch a session in their 3rd-party remote desktop portal. I use a UA switcher. It works fine. This behavior, while brain-dead, is at least trivial to circumvent. I'm happ

It's typical Chinese crap. My GPD Pocket came with pressure marks on the LCD backlight out of the box. I got it swapped under warranty. The promised 12-hour battery life is more like 1, which is a shame, because the thing is so slow th

Cool, the screen has a chunk taken out of it, great stuff. I'm sure everyone will consider this a feature, and next year you'll hardly be able to get a PC laptop without a third of the top of the screen devoted to a notch and hard

No indication that they ever completed it. Almost seems, I dunno, scammy. The buzz machine works, but like-- where's the beef?

Chrome became so bloated and crap and slow that in 2020 I moved over to Firefox (which has been imperfect, but better), so my anecdata suggests that browsers don't actually get faster overall, but ebb and flow as feature creep and opti

You're right, we should just give up and devote our time to other things.

Every time I see news coverage of technical areas in which I have expertise, and they get something glaringly wrong, I wonder for a moment how much other stuff they're getting wrong when I don't notice because it's outside of

"Leaving the city to own and operate a small poultry farm is racist, misogynist, colonialist, and CANCELLED: a thread." I wonder if I get a pass since mine is in Ireland. There needs to be a Rule 34 variant which states that for a
