Doubletwist

That was the first thing I thought of.

Out of everything we have today, Discord is arguably the best we’ve got.

That’s amazingly depressing.

Because up until Broadcom bought them, it was a good product with a ton of useful features, endless supported integrations with 3rd party software and hardware, relatively easy to learn/use, with good support, all at reasonable and flexible price points depending on your needs.

Of course Broadcom has now thrown all of that into the toilet…

Steam had been making Linux pretty darn good for gaming too, even for games that are technically Windows only.

Yup. Looks like I’m making a trip to Dallas this weekend…

They have one called “Pink Drink”. It’s not available bottled, The only place I ever had it was at Austin City limits Festival a few years before the pandemic. It’s kind of a Prickly-pear Lemonade flavored soda. It was without a doubt the most delicious, refreshing beverage I have ever consumed, and the fact that I’ve never been able to find it since then is actually one of the biggest disappointments of my life.

I had garlic ice cream at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. Everyone leaving the free sample line had the exact same expression on their face as they tried the first taste:

Slightly scrunched up have with an expression that said, “I was really expecting this to be horrible but it’s not bad. Not great, but not bad.”

There’s a phrase you might give useful/insightful.

“Trust, but verify”

I use auto pay extensively so that if I forget (ADHD, yay) it still gets paid. But I do (try to) check every month that all the auto pay stuff did trigger properly.

The problem isn’t them being in you LAN. It’s about going to an untrusted network (eg Starbucks, hotel) and connecting to your VPN, boom, now your VPN connection is compromised.

There were two.

1. Every time he farted it was awful so we’d shoo him out of the room. Eventually, he’d immediately walk out of the room right AFTER he farted.

2. We’d end the day watching TV in the living room. Eventually he learned that the click of the TV meant it was time to go to bed, so any time the TV got turned off, he’d get up and go into his bed in our bedroom.

Of course you are, either it’s baked into the cost of the car, or you are paying for it in personal data. So it may be hidden, but you’re absolutely paying for it.

Kind of. I don’t specifically pay attention to or know which sock is which. I just have a drawer full of all the same sock. So I just pick a random two and throw them on my feet without paying attention.

You had some fancy-ass McDonald’s in your area then. Ours has those flimsy tin/aluminum ashtrays.

That’s true of every study ever made, especially in today’s media environment.

And every probably done study includes acknowledgments of known shortcomings, most of the ones I’ve read include suggestions or thoughts about future studies that could be done to account for those known issues.

Media is to blame for most of the misinterpretations, not the studies themselves. It’s impossible to create a single, perfect study that can’t be misconstrued in some way.

Based on what I’ve read, Len Sassaman seems the most likely candidate, but certainly nothing has been confirmed.

I quite certain however that douchebag extrordinaire, Craig Wrigh, is NOT Satoshi.

Um. Those have existed for years.

I’ve been using a personal domain for over 20 years. I’ve never had a service reject my email domain.

But it will eventually. It just happens to be a large enough mass in a stable-ish orbit to last a long time. The same isn’t true of most of our space junk.

So it sounds like basically it’s just client certificates?

I switched back to Firefox about 2 years ago, and I’ve only encountered a few sites that don’t work properly.

With the exception of ONE annoying SaaS site I need at work (which I might use a ton for a week then not again for weeks), I’ve only had to open a site in Chrome/edge maybe once a month. That includes running Firefox on my phone in addition to my work and personal desktop/laptops.
