Because they’re a monopoly and should get nationalized to ensure they align with the citizens rather than with the greedy shareholders.

50/50 for me. Last update didn’t shut down, one before that did.

I use Firefox with uBO on Windows and it doesn’t help. I tried installing filters I found online but they don’t do shit.

I’ll just install FreeTube.

Updates only make products worse, not better.

I just have my phone always silenced except for phone calls from contacts.

Each time it offers to translate a page, there’s a “Never translate from [LANGUAGE]” button.

Rural areas are already covered by Viasat. Which is going to be more efficient due to the simple nature of only needing like 5 to 10 satellites in the 100-year orbit height… rather than 60,000+ Starlink satellites in the 5-year orbit height.

Latency sucks with Viasat. You won’t play multiplayer games on it, and even web browsing will be sluggish with how many round trips displaying just a single page requires nowadays.

Try to do any formatting more complex than none at all in Confluence. It just gets polluted with invisible markup and changes styling randomly.

Can you connect PCI-E devices to USB 4? That feels like the only useful feature of Thunderbolt imo.

I’ve heard of people printing out charts, then cutting out the part they wanted to calculate an integral of, then weighing the paper.

My Facebook is only memes, only from the large meme pages, not the ones I like that I have to check manually since they’ll never end up in my feed. And news articles.

It started with Facebook just hiding what your friends are posting. It still happens that someone shares a photo once a year or so, but I will never get shown it. I just browse my friend’s profiles manually.

I really like PowerShell’s object-oriented approach to pipelines. Unix pipes feel really dated in comparison.

Some people will always want wires to transfer data,

But that group of people is growing smaller and smaller with each year. I haven’t used a phone cable to transfer files once in the last 8 years. Phones just sync to cloud.

I always thought [dumping](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy\)) was illegal.

It’s so idiotic that it can’t be malice.

It’s just Linus overworking his employees.

Unix was originally a networked system that many terminals would connect to. Being able to actually reach the machine meant that you had authority.

It’s the same today. If someone has physical access, the system is so screwed that you can just give total privileges anyways.

It’s easy to port, has low system requirements, and it’s funny to see running on a toaster

Cellular is always overloaded in rural areas. Mobile ISPs always take on more customers than their infrastructure can handle.
