Bloatware! Even assembly language is barely acceptable, best is directly changing the mechanical relays in your Zuse one, naturally. If you wanna get crazy, change the celluloid strip with another program & get Doom to run on it.
I once had a deduction from my deposit for a paintbrush and can of paint left on top of a kitchen cabinet; it had been left by their team when I moved in.
I have some paint in a cabinet which was leftover from when I moved in. I figured it might be useful if I need to touch up anything (although I haven’t used it in 2 years yet, so it might not be good anymore). At first I thought that another person’s comment was weird, before realizing I’m basically the same, except that I leave the paint in a cabinet.
Also, ADHD was a factor haha. Getting the dishes done and keeping the place tidy was enough of a struggle without extracurricular activities like the disposal of paint cans!
As somebody who used to weigh over 350 pounds, you need to be the thing that stops you. I promise, losing the weight is harder than just not buying that cake in the first place.
I have found the only way I can not be obese (and I mean the lowest BMI I have had is 24) is the most extreme diets - keto and now carnivore since keto is too hard to stick to
Though I don’t envy you. You have no clear signal that you’re eating unhealthily, but suffer the same ill health that us fatties do if you do eat unhealthily
You need to pump iron and eat protein to gain healthy weight
It probably will bankrupt him. But only because he built his business on the basis of exploiting employees. He won’t make money if he doesn’t do that. Which of course means he shouldn’t be in business.
Exactly. It’s not “his” company, he’s just at the peak of the decision-makers, currently. If he remains (short-term) profit-focused, they’ll give him a golden parachute of most of the workers’ labor to safely land at another company to cut costs and terminate employees and further enrich himself…
No need to load an entire website just for some text.
Says a lot about the current state of the web really. It’s so bogged down with extra junk like ads and tracking, that I’d rather skip visiting most websites as a whole.
Really appreciate the bot giving us the content with no extra faff 💪
Yeah, websites are too heavy. Not that my computer can’t handle it, but I’m literally only going to look at the text so why make me wait extra to load all these graphics and images.
Mine too, it’s just long enough to include all the important things without me thinking that I need to click the link in order to make sure that the summary got all the important things.
I’m gonna be unapologetically that person one day. Get into a tube full of stinky humans and complain that babies exist in the world. People need to get over themselves.
Especially now that Noise Cancelling headphones are everywhere and work as good as they do. Since I’ve got my Sony headphones a crying infant becomes only a really minor inconvenience
Tbf I don’t think babies are the worst. They cry, but that’s it. The kids that can talk walk and kick you are. And also let’s always remember that the major anger is not about the kids but the lazy parents that think everyone else should suffer so that THEY don’t have to deal with it.
Yes specially if people don’t know what a rootkit is. They’ll think “ah, so this is an example of a rootkit, it must be because it is upvoted a lot, nice meme *upvotes”
I run my phone without microG or Goggle Play Services.
Messaging apps run in the background so they can receive push messages, location works fine over GPS and speech recognition and synthesis works fine without Google Play Services or internet access (in English at least).
Gigaset GX290
It isn’t supported by TWRP, Magisk or any Custom ROM, so Android’s settings and ADB are the only ways to manipulate it.
There’s no way to install microG on it. So I still use some Google stuff (Speech recognition, speech synthesis and GBoard), but I deny them internet access through Netguard so they can’t phone home.
While WEI definitely doesn’t qualify as a rootkit itself, any useful attester is going to require aspects of one - whether it’s a phone asserting that it hasn’t been rooted, or a PC running with approved SecureBoot and TPM keys.
It’s actually 「は」, and… kind of. It marks the topic, which is sort of the thing the conversation is generally about, which typically is the subject of each sentence, but not necessarily. It’s kinda hard to explain it well since it doesn’t really map cleanly onto any grammatical feature in english.
Well the “ha” (は) pronounced “wa” is basically like a pointer to the word before it. Like smb. comments “THIS” after it.
The “wa” (わ) character on the other hand is used as a letter in a word. It won’t usually stand alone in a sentence (which is a bit weird since the japanese usually don’t use spaces so you just have to guess/know)
The は is also used in words so have fun knowing when it is a particle and when not.
Yeah, don’t confuse people if you don’t know anything about a language.
That’s like saying ‘I was so confused what an atre is, until I realized it’s not the atre but theatre!’
は and が are something you can call ‘subject markers’, just like を is an object marker. They come after words to describe their position in a sentence. The same way you have Kasus/Fälle in German.
I guess sort of, but I think of it as being afraid of the darkness itself, or the things that might (or might not be) out there when it gets dark. Like they’re totally connected but still two separate fears, you know?
What do you mean? Genuine question, I’m loosely familiar with the the issues with Discord having it’s growing issues with data and advertising but I assumed Nitro was the worst element.
Mumble is like a reliable Toyota Corolla. You will turn no heads, but it has all the features you would need for the task (encryption, room hierachies, ACL, machine-learning-enhanced noise canceling, positional audio, choice of method input like push-to-talk, mini UI overlay atop games), and does them efficiently.
…And like a Toyota Corolla, there’s probably a decent upgrade out there, but you might be compromising on more than you think. Want a car without the manufacturer tracking you or bloated, touch-screen navigation? Many ‘modern’ VoIP options, especially proprietary ones, are literally doing the latter.
Discord enshittification is well under way, just this week I have started seeing ads in the client just above the voice channel status in the bottom left. Cancelled my Nitro immediately, no point if they are going to shove ads in my face anyway.
Currently looking at alternatives, Revolt looks promising, and can be self hosted.
Bullshit. Pics or it didn’t happen. You might have seen a quest, where if you stream a specific game to your friends you get a free in-game item, but these are not advertisements.
Additionally, you can click on it and tell it to never show you any more quests.
Either that or you’re bitching about discord telling you that it has added more voice channel mini games.

…
Advertising is the practice and techniques employed to bring attention to a product or service. Advertising aims to put a product or service in the spotlight in hopes of drawing it attention from consumers
I have no interest in streaming “quested” games, and whatever deal Discord has done with the developer to encourage users to engage with such games (and by extension the game’s microtransaction economy), and regardless of what they call it, is by definition an advertisement. If you can’t see that, then you are an ad campaign exec’s wet dream. Either that, or a troll.
Schildi Chat is probably the best client I have spotted, full voice and video chat functionality in browser. People do way less hemming and hawing about downloading an app if they’ve already been able to try it out in web - just like discord
