Yeah that’s what I’ve done. I’ve gotten very picky about which apps I allow to notify me of things. A week or two of turning off all the ones you don’t want and your phone gets quiet real quick.


I can only imagine that they’re offering it to me because my account is like 15 years old… Either that, or I have about 200k post karma and 100k comment karma. (Not big numbers compared to karma whores, but still more than your average user).


Lol they’re trying to sell me shares at “pre-ipo prices”.

I asked if they have any puts available… So far no reply…



My man might be wearing the ol rose-colored glasses when it comes to the Limewire “heyday” of piracy.

I remember many times accidentally infecting my computer with a virus through that thing. That repair process was a HUGE pain in the ass.

I was stoned one night looking for concert footage and instead I got a video of a woman getting her head blown off at close range. That shit FUCKED. ME. UP. for a hot minute.

Todays situation is better in my opinion.


Man there’s something about talking on a cell phone that makes me feel like I have to yell, and thus, hate talking on them.

As I remember land lines, they never felt that way.


Sounds like it’s time for me to actually log back in and delete all my old posts. I’ve been putting that off for too long.



Yep beware, any time a company you do business with sends you a letter saying something like,

“Good news! (Our old company name) is now (new company name)!”

You’re about to get fucked.



NFL?
What's your approach for NFL games?

I’ve never understood the “slim” thing console makers have been doing.

“Behold! Our latest game system!”

six months later

“Behold! The system we should have made in the first place!”


The left: clearly and succinctly points out another example of Republican hypocrisy.

The right: “LOLZ the left can’t meme.”


I can understand why so many programmers suffer from imposter syndrome.

I know more about SSH than anyone I know, but I still read articles like this and think, “SOCKS proxy. Huh. I don’t actually know what either of those words mean.”

Before anyone jumps in to educate me on what SOCKS is (please do though!), my point is that through my entire career in tech, I’ve always read articles and had to skim over terms and acronyms that I didn’t know, unless I wanted to fall into a ten-hour rabbit hole of learning, where I ultimately feel totally overwhelmed and not sure I’m actually smarter than when I woke up this morning.

Seems like an interesting article, but for me to fully grasp it, I’d need to read like six other articles, which I can’t do during my morning coffee/mindless scroll time.

I’ve taken the approach of learning through osmosis. I’ll regularly read articles that I don’t fully understand, assuming that I’ll eventually gain a better understanding of whatever topic I’m reading about over time.


I was thinking about setting up a jellyfin server that could be publicly accessible from a domain I own. Something like jellyfin.neocamel.com, which would point to my jellyfin server on my home windows PC, but it sounds like that opens up some pretty serious security concerns.


Oh no according to tiktok (so you know it’s true), he was saying itsumi, which is apparently Japanese for “Super”.
