Many of us also lived through the era where any 13 year old could steal Mommy’s credit card and rent a botnet for that ezpz

My MC server a decade ago was tiny and it still happened every few months when we banned some butthurt kid

I’ve got a server I’m mass downloading anything I or my wife can think of and quite a few obscure movies and shows aren’t on the major sites in any form that has enough seeders to actually finish

So, Usenet it is, at least until I’m mostly done.

If I was huntig for it all by hand I’d probably not bother but I’m using the Arr stack for automation so

It’s also how content creators literally create chapters: put the time codes into the video description

That’s a native feature of the platform

kinda feel like those individuals shouldn’t be allowed to use computers to do their jobs. If you can’t master just pass the basics, sorry. Here’s a pencil and a pad of paper.

My wife had her HR rep get pissed at her just yesterday for sending an email to her boss and other higher-ups asking why assistant managers at her company can’t use the computers theyre on all day properly. She had asked for a screenshot of something so she could see what the other person was seeing and they replied with “I can’t do that idk how” and thought that was acceptable?

Luckily the other higher ups told HR to shut up and that she was only mad because it’s her job to ensure basic computer literacy and she clearly didn’t.

People 100% get into the mindset that “well, I already know the basics, so anything I don’t know is advanced user shit so I can’t learn it” and it’s infuriating

I’ve never worked an office job that wasn’t pirating software openly and somewhat proudly when pointed out

Adding warnings will only result in annoying people, not driving for improvement.

Given how poorly adoption has gone so far this might be the only way to get actual fast support rolled out. Piss people off, get change

No, but you’re gonna scare away a lot of people who don’t wanna bother with it

*in certain states

She won the popular vote, she lost the electoral vote. Where you live MATTERS towards your vote in this country, by design, for situations like this

Multiple 1 star reviews for a nearby business that complain it doesn’t do something that it doesn’t claim to do (bulk fuel delivery place people are complaining it’s not a gas station even though it doesn’t come up as one) was the most recent one I did.

I also got one removed last year because someone gave a 1-star review whining about a fee that you weren’t warned about if you were late, I sent in a picture of the big ass sign about it that’s been there for years

I just went looking back at the reviews for this building and I found out that Google removed the only small power the public has against fake reviews

Reporting is still an option, and it works. Literally just 3 days ago reported some inaccurate reviews at a place near where I work and I got the email last night they’d taken action, they’re gone now

He might have somewhat wanted to, but it wasn’t an explicit goal of his until it became strategic to the war effort.

Lincoln before he got elected: no, I’m not coming for your slaves

Lincoln after elected: no, I’m not coming for your slaves

Lincoln during the war: “If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them”

Lincoln the moment the British might aid them: “the war is now about slaves and their freedom so Britain won’t feel good about helping”

Yes, Lincoln didn’t like slavery and thought it was bad for the country, but much like the founding fathers he thought it was on its way out naturally. Without the southern states throwing The Great Tantrum Lincoln would have left the slave issue alone

When my mom’s old laptop became mine in around 2011 it wasn’t even powerful enough to run Minecraft at more than 13 FPS, so I sure as shit wasn’t gonna spend the occasional money I got on a steam card at 7/11 to load up an account I couldn’t even use to play the games well with

I think every game I’ve ever pirated from childhood and actually liked enough to finish has been paid for now though

My SYNOLOGY NAS that’s just shy of being used for too much stuff (96% CPU means I’ve got 4% left babyyyy) is, was, and will forever be: Senpai.

That way people (my wife and parents) notice it in the network list.

I’ve yet to figure out how that mode is even helpful in any way and not just an annoyance for other people.

When you leave it on your desk in silent mode it’s a good way to alert you. I miss my red notification LED GDI

Hiding on .world, the last place any sane person would look, genius

never understood the “promote laziness” thing. A union wouldn’t be able to protect a worker that can’t meet the requirements of the job.

Overachievers get told to stop being better than the lower-quality workers in poorly run unions because “it makes Bob look and feel bad when you do twice the work he can in a day”

It’s not a great reason but if you experience it once it leaves one hell of a sour taste in your mouth, especially since poorly run unions also usually aren’t doing good at protecting workers

The blinky lights make it compile faster!

I’m getting older but nah, fuck it, I like RGB lighting in my build. I have a cool mostly open case with a glass front that you can wall mount Pretty sure it’s an older version of this thing. if not it’s a very similar setup and making all my components glisten red or react to explosions in an FPS just feels cool to me.

I turn down the brightness though cuz holy shit they come set to 2x the sun by default

Theres zero benefits to going with MS

Lol

You might be able to adapt code that’s used to analyze text to form word clouds in order to pull that off

No idea where exactly to look but the concepts seem pretty much identical, just change the output

I listed the consoles next to the games (forgot MGS3, which is PS2 originally)

MSX is an old Japanese computer, and why I recommended emulation or the copy that comes with MGS3s remakes

PSX is the original PlayStation

If you found the GBC one hard then the very first Metal Gear on MSX will be even worse. MGS1 shouldn’t be too bad, though.
