Exactly, this is why strong laws are needed. In the end we (the people) all benefit. Maybe a small example but when the EU started to push for usbc as the only standard, it made things lot better. If you are older and still have a drawer with 15 chargers all with different plugs, voltages and amps you known what I mean. Back in the day before cheap chargers from aliexpress, just replacing a simple charger from the manufacturer could be a pretty expensive thing.

Raise prises and if legally possible even lower wages, hey we are the only bakery in town so it’s getting paid peanuts or have no job at al.

In a classic example you have a village with 2 bakeries, one of the bakers came up with a machine to kneed the bread, so he can make more bread and sell it cheaper. This is sort of the story people tell to show how great capitalism is.

But we have reached a point where that one bakery now owns a chain of bakers, adds ingredients to the bread to make it more addictive, skips on actual ingredients needed for bread and replaces them with sawdust, made donations to the current political party so any competition has to jump through hoops to get a bakery license, etc.

Somehow this unlocked a child memory, when I found out there was a plain text file with the “insults” and I added my own. I felt like a true hacker…

I think the copyright expired and you can just download it for free, maybe its even on the internet archive. I got mine from abandonware or something like that.

My son wants to “game” like most other kids at his class. So I got an old laptop, installed linux mint on it with dosbox. He loves lemmings, the incredible machine 2 and rollercoaster tycoon

The article states that’s what the privacy policy sais samsung can sample every 500ms and LG every 10ms. It doesn’t really mean they are, but it’s definitely possible. A very basic way of detecting content is to take a 1000 pixels evenly spaced out over the screen and store the color values. That gives you something you can match against a database. You don’t need to process a 4K screenshot for this.

99% of what we watch is from streaming (Netflix, YouTube, etc). A dumb tv with a Chromecast probably isn’t any better.

Maybe my comment can help

I have always only seen black and blue, even in the light version my brain doesn’t make it gold and white. It’s strange to me why people perceive this as gold.

Edit this video was the only one to make me see it https://youtu.be/YB36n00NHBw

The best advice I heard in my 20s don’t spend your raise. If you can live of X and now you make Y, still live of X and put everything you don’t spend in a few ETFs. Don’t try to be smart en beat the market, don’t buy stocks, etc.

Just 3 or 4 ETFs that cover the world. Or if you want to be smart read up on the permanent portfolio or all weather portfolio.

You don’t need a more expensive car if your current car still works, you don’t need a new phone every 2 years, etc. Buy what can’t be fixed, don’t pay for upgrades that are not really going to improve your life.

Also buy things that don’t expire (toiletpaper, dishwasher soap, etc) in bulk when the offer it really good.

You don’t have to live as a bum but you can still make sure you don’t overspend.

Won’t be very long until I remove whatsapp from my phone. That one friend that doesn’t want to switch, call me I guess…

Thats true, I once had to repair my washing machine and I could only find 1 video about the same model and same repair. It was a large Russian man that I could not understand (this was before auto generated subtitles).

Anyways, I just looked at the video and copied everything he did and I fixed my machine.

I pay for nebula, they have a lot of educational content and the price is low enough that I don’t mind it

Yeah true, but these are more business to business. RHEL support is pretty expensive, and in my experience Oracle support (maybe not really open source) is both terrible and ridiculously expensive. Maybe this will create a market for more consumer like support. Maybe that could even create new business models for open source software.

I have been a software tester for a long time and I really fuckin hate these JS frameworks that try to reinvent the wheel but worse.

Like why is a fucking table now a bunch of divs? Why is a drop down (select) list a bunch of divs? With disappearing html blocks when you close the list?

HTML worked fine, why are we reinventing basic HTML but worse?

We use gitlab and I knew my coworker commited something yesterday, I deployed a new version yesterday but I wasn’t sure if I deployed before or after his commit. Why do they just show yester instead of a normal timestamp. Do these developers think we can’t read?

Everything is a fucking service! NO, I don’t want to spend 2.99 every month on a app that reminds me to take a pill.

Even hardware products that basically are scrap metal if you don’t pay a monthly fee.

Or and I know this sounds crazy, we (I actually mean you) collectively agree on laws that gives everyone a couple of paid vacation weeks a year.

So here’s a way to long story that is barley relevant but I’m sharing it anyway.

Our office has a bring your own device policy. Great, I have a phone, I can buy the laptop I want, cool.

Now on my laptop I run Linux, have been using it as my only OS for about 15 years now. On windows you can read your email with outlook, you just have to login once and use that authenticator once. On Linux they blocked Thunderbird, because somehow in their logic window is more secure!? Now until today I would just use my phone to get emails and I also had teams on it for basic questions (like when I’m not working but a simple answer can help a coworker out).

Literally today they blocked both email and teams on android (not iPhone) and you can only use it when you install some MS company portal app, where my office gets remote access to my personal phone.

I did not install this (they can’t make you) but now the only way to read email is logging in via web outlook that sucks in Firefox.

So I just set a auto response to all incoming emails, that from now on if you need me you can reach me on teams during work hours or call me.

Not really sure how they (management) are going to respond. I hate email, especially when you have so many obstacles to even receive it.
