Agrivar ,

That's just a list of things I don't want (except Phone Link, which I'm already enjoying in Win10 as an Android phone user)

Agrivar ,

I live in Massachusetts and I used the IRS free file service this year, for both state and federal taxes. It was a very painless process, and I had my federal refund in my bank account in less than ten days!! It really works.

Agrivar ,

Unless this is 5D chess and Google is willfilly[sic] using itself as a cautionary tale to discourage future webservice sites from arbitrarily inserting AI into its features.

Holy shit, can I live in that timeline, please?!? Pretty please?

Agrivar ,

And it works! I followed that recipe in the 80s, to hilariously non-fatal results.

Agrivar ,

Case in point... I think we are having a discussion, but wont be surprised if you think we are arguing over pedantry.

As an outside observer, I feel like I can confidently say that you are wrong. YOU are being needlessly pedantic and derailing the conversation.

Agrivar ,

Really? Are you on the spectrum?

You're not wrong, as far as the logical expansion of the statements in question. The 'with no stipulations' part is, technically, unnecessary. But we don't live in a Platonic ideal. You are free to add reinforcing/qualifying statements to a basic idea being posited. If you're being sincere in your request for clarity, and not just being a snark, my advice would be to ignore everything I say and just do as you want! LOL

Agrivar ,

Can we hit 100% if we sacrifice annoying pedants like you?

Agrivar ,

Ugh!

The worst part is, after wasting a bunch of time tracking down the correct Discord server to ask a question about a piece of software, you generally get lambasted by the "regulars" of that server to "just use the search feature, that's what it's for!"

Yeah, no. I don't want to wade through a reverse chronology of a bunch of conflicting back-and-forth conversations - just gimme a FAQ or some actual documentation!!!

Agrivar ,

I honestly hope you are making some attempt at a joke, and I'm just failing to get it...

Agrivar ,

Cow boob juice is for baby cows. Human boob juice is for baby humans. Adults of any species should have developed past ingesting boob juice in childhood.

Agrivar ,

I stopped drinking milk when I left home and moved to college... 30+ years ago.

Agrivar ,

Are you new to the internet?

Agrivar ,

WTF?

Agrivar ,

Dafft_ish, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Agrivar ,

What's this, then? 'Romanes Eunt Domus'? 'People called Romanes they go the house'?

Agrivar ,

No, it doesn't. What's Latin for 'Roman'? Come on!

Agrivar ,

Is nobody gonna call out OP for wearing socks with sandals? ...and, ostensibly, while preparing to do carpentry?!?

That's like a cardinal sin squared!

Agrivar ,

Incel said what?

Agrivar ,

What is 'NDd' short for? I'm drawing a blank, and searching for anything on the internet is pointless these days...

Agrivar ,

Thank you for your reply!

Agrivar ,

The timing of this post could not be more perfect. I'm sitting at my desk at home, with the windows open for the first time this year, sipping coffee and browsing Lemmy... and the duet of leafblower and weedwhacker begins next door. The most infuriating part: the property in question is a NEVER-used artist's studio/gallery that nonetheless gets multiple visits per week from landscapers/caretakers/contractors/etc. I've lived next to the property longer than the studio has even existed, and I've seen the owner once.

Agrivar ,

I'm still so bummed about EVGA leaving the graphics card market! My 2070 super still runs fine, thankfully, but it's getting a bit long in the tooth.

Agrivar ,

Did they hit you with the one that even monitors the IP you're coming from, so even a completely new email address won't let you create a new account? That's what forced me to migrate here about a year ago!

Agrivar ,

Is nobody going to call out the stilted weirdness that is the first panel??

"I can artwork that for you" is gibberish.

Agrivar ,

... with it on any loving object

Come again?

Agrivar ,

Now you sound like a shill and a petulant child. Congrats?

Agrivar ,

Fact

Agrivar ,

WTF are you on about? You either don't know the story of Passover, or you are whingeing in bad faith.

Agrivar ,

Same here. I know we're pariahs for admitting something so obvious, but sometimes the easiest way to get good service is to actually pay for it. Youtube Music alone is worth the monthly sub, since it is VASTLY superior to Spotify.

Agrivar ,

Scooping up a lifetime sub to Nexus, back when they were still available, might have been one of my best online moves. If a game can be modded, I will be modding it - I get SO much value from that one-time investment.

Agrivar ,

True story: I responded (unpleasantly and verbosely) to one of those automated no-reply messages from Reddit, regarding a 3-day suspension for violating some rule (aka, pissing off a mod)... and I did get a reply. Account banned.

how can something be so courageous and yet so true (slrpnk.net)

Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you're still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying "well I buy a cheap used laptop" or "well I buy coffee...

Agrivar ,

Wow. So, you're just openly admitting to being a selfish prick and that you have shit taste?

So brave.

Agrivar ,

I'm a woodworker by trade! Would my skills be of any use in this endeavor?

It's Not Safe to Click Links on X (lifehacker.com)

As noted by security researcher Will Dormann, some posts on X purport to lead to a legitimate website, but actually redirect somewhere else. In Dormann's example, an advertisement posted by a verified X user claims to lead to forbes.com. When Dormann clicks the link, however, it takes him to a different link to open a Telegram...

Agrivar ,

Plus, it has the added benefit of drawing attention to how many "articles" on other sites are just a long string of embedded tweets.

Agrivar ,

I may have missed something in civics class, but since when is access to a crappy social media site a right?

Agrivar ,

Do cars even come with lighter sockets any more?

What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

@fuck_cars

Agrivar ,

I live within a 15-20 minute walk of all but three of these places: shopping mall, university, and sports arena. While a uni being closer would be neat, I am well out of college at this point in my life... the other two locations could simply not exist at all and I would be fine with that.

Agrivar ,

"Now I want that of the dog framed and hanging in my house."

Are ya sure your brain didn't skip a few more words?

;-P

Agrivar ,

Hopefully, that includes the downvote parade you're getting for being insufferable.

Agrivar ,

I'm over here telling myself that 50 is the new 38...

Agrivar ,

I fear we are rapidly approaching (or have already reached) the point where the definition of "begs the question" is going to be changed to include "raises the question," much the same way "literally" now also means "not literally."

I am not pleased by this development, but I was also not consulted.

Agrivar ,

Not the person you replied to, but I just searched for "User-Agent changer" and then installed the Firefox extension that it found. When I set it to pretend to be Windows/Chrome my Youtube tabs went back to snappy and responsive.

(link to the one I found: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uaswitcher/)

Agrivar ,

Because those people also didn't read the article and are reacting from their gut.

Agrivar ,

I read the article, and it explained the situation and the resultant confusion very well. That said, could we not have some international body just make a decision one way or the other, instead of perpetuating this uncertainty?
