The only thing that works is abstinence. It's like handling a gun. Don't put your dick in something that you can impregnate unless you're ready for kids.

Disclaimer: This comment is not meant to be taken seriously. Even though it's true.

It'll recommend to beat your kids with jumper cables.

What kind of tech do you need for this?

state_electrician ,

It cannot. I know the FlipperZero and it can't do any relay stuff.

Many years ago I manually removed all CAs from my trust store and only added those I needed. Turned out that from roughly 160 trusted root CAs I needed about 10 to 12. I stopped because it often was very difficult to figure out which CA signed the cert for an app that was failing. The final nail in the coffin was when I was late for a business meeting and the only way to get a parking space close enough to my destination was by paying with an app I'd never used before and finding the right root CA under pressure was too much. I really wish we had more and easier control over who we trust.

I used OpenBSD on servers for years. I don't think it's suited as a daily driver, especially not with a desktop. I absolutely love pf and miss it dearly, though. iptables and nftables are utter shit compared to the glory that is pf. Yes, there is some hyperbole in that statement, but only some.

I called in sick yesterday and binged the Fallout show. That felt extremely relaxing.

The problem is that Chinese models are so cheap because of government subsidies and slave labor. I still think that Western models are too expensive because of plain greed, but the Chinese models are not without problems either.

state_electrician OP ,

But that's just the Mi box with a different name...

I learned this yesterday and thought, wow, I can contribute and then you're already here. Damn. I can only add details. Siemens and Bosch founded BSH (Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte {household appliances}) in 1967. This company grew into a behemoth with 60,000 employees and 15 billion revenue. And as was mentioned, while Bosch and Siemens co-owned BSH, Siemens sold its shares to Bosch in 2014.

state_electrician ,

Exactly, thank you. My thought when seeing this was "who the fuck cares?"

state_electrician ,

That sounds like something Hitler would say. Well, maybe not, but I bet you're a vegetarian. Like Hitler. Or have a dog. Like Hitler. Or are dead. Like Hitler.

state_electrician ,

I disagree. I don't subscribe to a world view where every life is sacred. Society has a right to protect itself from persons that will always endanger other people and that includes killing them. However, it has been quite clear that we cannot guarantee that no innocent people are killed. And that's why I'm OK with the death penalty only in principle, not in practice.

state_electrician ,

This is a discussion about personal morals. Some people think it's OK to execute some criminals, others are completely opposed to that idea. There is no objective right or wrong here.

For you your arguments might be compelling, but they don't convince me. I can have complete control over someone and still decide to kill them because I don't want to bother with locking them up, for example. And who says a society should not kill? That's not even an argument, just an opinion.

I have not seen a single person argue for federation with Threads.

state_electrician ,

People buy shirts with nonsense text on them all the time. It's about the overall look and not some specific statement.

A capitalist is one who lives off their capital. I doubt you'll find many of them on Lemmy or anywhere really, as their numbers are extremely low compared to the working rest of humanity.

Facebook snooped on users' Snapchat traffic in secret project, documents reveal (techcrunch.com)

Meta tried to gain a competitive advantage over its competitors, including Snapchat and later Amazon and YouTube, by analyzing the network traffic of how its users were interacting with Meta’s competitors. Given these apps’ use of encryption, Facebook needed to develop special technology to get around it....

Yeah, vinyl is more about the haptic experience of putting that giant black disc onto the player and watching the needle slowly scrape away that 30-40 dollar item. It's not about the sound quality. I think with listening to vinyl listening to music becomes more of an experience, because of all the manual steps involved. And with albums these days artists seem to put more effort into them then at the time the CD came around.

They were definitely cheaper than they are now. But most of them also were produced much cheaper than they are now.

I think with inflation a picture is only worth 700 words.

Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed (mastodon.social)

For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

state_electrician ,

Are you sure? Sinister literally means "left-handed". I don't see introverted people being recognized in a similar way and not even close to as long.

state_electrician ,

I mean, if I can see it because you posted it publicly on the internet, then yes, the feds can see it too.

state_electrician ,

With weighing you have a confidence interval, when counting each grain of rice you know.

state_electrician ,

You don't join a threesome if you want to, it's about consent. And you can easily be pulled into an argument if you're so inclined.

state_electrician ,

How else am I, a humble car artisan (cartisan, if you're feeling naughty), supposed to continue to generate obscene levels of wealth for my shareholders if I can't continue to milk customers?

state_electrician ,

That is fine, as long as people have a choice.

state_electrician ,

Ah, good times. I feel like a replay of the Portal games is in order.

state_electrician ,

It's the price you deserve to pay if you support Tesla.

state_electrician ,

Ultimately the issue is greed. Capitalism is just a manifestation of that.

state_electrician ,

It's only bad if other countries are doing it.

state_electrician ,

I've been using Linux for too long because that list of steps sounded completely reasonable to me.

state_electrician ,

Javier Bardem played the religious fanatic so well.

Didn't everybody have to be bald because the Baron turned bald after Gaius Helen Mohiam infected him with a disease as revenge for raping her?

state_electrician ,

The reason why all Harkonnen are bald is because the Baron turned bald after he was infected with some disease by Gaius Helen Mohiam after the homosexual Baron violently raped her. Mohiam is the Reverend Mother who tested Paul with the Gom Jabar and she might be Lady Jessica's mother. Dune is like that. Jessica is definitely the Baron's daughter and thus Paul claims house Harkonnen after Feyd Rautha, the last heir, is dead.

state_electrician ,

He "found notes" left by himhis father.
