Mind you, I have never in my life tried to use it, but my understanding is that is the Fediverse equivalent of FB. I’m mostly on Mastodon or Pixelfed, which are the equivalents of Twitter and Instragram.

For a moment there, Trump almost respected Obama.

“Wow! Look a the grift on this guy! Why am I not receiving royalties on legislation too?”

Typical teen: “What?? No mom, I just crushed some beans earlier, I swear!”

It’s always projection, lol…

Probably about 1 year’s worth of dial-up per month of Starlink, if not more…

Box-ception

I mean… it’s hilarious that people still use Chrome when it has been a known back actor for years and years. Firefox is an excellent option and the more people that use it, the more it encourages companies to keep supporting open web standards.

Likewise, if you set an iPhone to use Advanced Data Protection, it’s probably quite a bit more secure from intrusion than a similar Android phone. (And definitely more secure from subpoena.)

Thank you. Glad to know I am not the only one that got triggered, lol.

Huh. Doesn’t change the fact Trump is in the Epstein files. Investigate them both!

This really says it all. I don’t give a crap who’s in the Epstein files—they should all be investigated.

Ah, good to know in case I ever have to upgrade to wireless!

Well, I was gonna recommend the Razer Death Adder Elite, but they don’t seem to make it any more. Maybe the Death Adder v3 or even the Essential? (The Essential is on sale for $20 on Amazon right now, it seems.) I see that the entire line is wireless now… not sure how I feel about that.

As for the why, I really like the way the mouse fits my hand, the wired Elite version has been a tank at home and at work for years now, and the only down-side I’ve encountered is that it comes with the lights in some stupid pulsating mode and you have to install the software at least once to turn that off. (It remembers it in firmware once you disable it though, so you can move it from computer to computer without having to disable on each computer.)

Don’t touch my stash, man!

Ya think??

Oh no. Anyways…

I mean I’ve been using DuoLingo for like a decade (only paid the last 2 years) and it’s been very useful until now.

I’ll be looking for a new Spanish app when my subscription expires next year now, alas.

It is always hilarious and strange to see the buy-in on these things. We have a single coder in his late 60s that has bought in hard to spicy autocorrect. Meanwhile, the youngest on our team (like 22) won’t touch it with a 10 ft pole.

The other issue is just the morality of it. Do I know people that got rich on Bitcoin? Yes. Do I feel like they’re participating in a pyramid scheme still? Also yes. And with spicy autocorrect, where they got their training data for any and all of these models is so freaking morally bankrupt, and they’re desperate to paper over that and make it “ok” for businesses to use it.

Had to click through to change my downvote to an upvote, lol.

LOL, just another reason to avoid buying from Amazon, really.
