Again, edge is running on my gaming PC that has never once left Seattle. It clears cookies on exit. When i use google on it, it says im in mexico. Idk why everyone is so gung-ho to disbelieve me. Theres NO EXPLANATION for what im seeing oth

It happens on my unsigned in TV that has been sitting in Seattle for a year. I'm really not an idiot. Idk what else to say.

What? No, i just meant that its a random browser that i have no cookies on, on a stationary computer that has never left my apartment?

Its my tailscale exit node, its not a public vpn. Sigh, i guess i wasnt clear enough but i didnt pull the conclusion out of my rear. Days later, my stationary gaming PC still thinks its in fking Mexico.

Can we please stop falling for this obvious tactic? How many days in a row does he have to do something seemingly-unhinged, and then follow it with some spectacle of a poll to shift the narrative? Is it really that easy ?

All I can really say here is that I hope we can elevate beyond "left" vs "right". Elon is doing the same thing every other wannabe-populist does. Take the beacon light off of him, his riches, his flailing ego, and... sow

I just wish personal integrity mattered at any scale, anymore. I wish that people actually came to their opinions via some sort of logical process that could be easily later self-evaluated and reflected upon. There's this tendency to d

Do y'all not realize or not care how utterly petty, pathetic, and out-of-touch you come across? Like, you won, your guy is in charge acting like a petty baby tyrant and you still manage to frame as "conservatives are so persecuted

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33991851 Why is it so plainly obvious to many of us and so god damn impossible for others to see it. Elon is not a genius. You got duped. Just accept it and realize he's a petty tyr

I'm going to die from eating popcorn. What an epic battle of parasocial allegiance, for some here, this must be.

see also, https://github.com/martinvonz/jj which I really have been enjoying wrapping my head around and using. True undo, and no-stage is truly such an amazing experience compared with raw git.

I can open private browsing on my laptop, and Google Shopping shows me Seattle results. But again, my gaming PC, which was offline in my apartment in Seattle, has been showing me Mexico/Spanish results in Edge. And my TV, which sits in

>If you want to fix that, you can set a manual location IIRC, or you can enable some other location source. Yeah, but I can't. The only way I've seen hinted at doing that is letting my browser share location to Google.com and m

by wereallterrrist 4y ago
Sure. And in this case, they're showing me irrelevant ads, shopping results I can't use and more. It's not surprising me, it's baffling me because it's just stupid to do this .

No, I'm pretty careful about the information that I give to Google. The only Google app on my phone with access to my location is Google Maps. To me, it's absolutely news that Google Maps data can taint my entire IP address acro

I mean, I'm sitting in my apartment in Seattle and Google says I'm in Quintanna Roo. Given that I don't have any devices left in Mexico, I'm not really sure what else could be happening. to be clear: my VPN is Tailscal

I mean there's a serious bug where Windows will not properly realize it needs to /stay asleep/ and will wake itself up in your bag, and sometimes stay on. Linus did a whole video on it - you have to unplug your laptop, then c

Power-profile-daemon, wayland, and running a somewhat recent kernel will likely resolve these except the keyboard shortcuts (though, likely a newer libinput with wayland instead of X will also resolce this). Which zenbook? Ill try to find o

Damn near pure FUD with any remotely, remotely mainstream laptop. The Linux ecosystem is so wildly more consistent and predictable than Win10. I mean, my laptop doesn't overheat daily in my bag when its booted to Linux, but yeah, Win

If OBS and WebRTC can get to ~120ms, it seems like there are some low-hanging fruits here

Right because Elon is such a genius that of course he wouldn't just block links to the Twitter account he suspended and not also block links to an Instagram profile. :eyeroll: The faster people stop being surprised, the better. I don&#

Surely a meager bit of attention paid to fear/disgust-based politics [now don't project here folks ;)], would dissuade you from that notion. There's always a deeper conspiracy to double down with. Or outright lies. Gish gallo

Yeah, but why? Between the lines, this also means you've been wasting my battery life for some time. And likely will be again when the kernel impl is updated. For what purpose? (Not totally unrelated, I can't help but wonder if Ta

Speak for yourself. Before I read your full comment I assumed your last line was a literal joke. Countless charlatans have run confidence scams (cons) in the crypto space, accuring money and attention around a centralized platform, in a tec
