My boomer mom and all her friends have iPhones. They all typo. They all complain about the keyboard. She’s given up now, since she’s sundowning hard and life for her is just too short. She vomits some letter chowder and we eventually figure it out.

Wasnt apple supposed to be a pro-people best-UX utopia?

Based is so fetch.

But ‘till’ is still wrong.

We all want that. Be it Magnum or Quigley or anything else, they’re all majestic.

Top Fetch.

Some graphic artists are competent writers; but others drop a comma splice into the 4th panel.

The plot below shows the price of TVs across Best Buy’s Black Friday ads for the last 25 years. The units are “dollars per area-pixel”: price divided by screen area times the number of pixels (normalized so that standard definition = 1). This is to account for the fact that bigger, higher resolution TVs are more expensive. You can see that, in line with the inflation chart, the price per area-pixel has fallen by more than 90%.

Yay! Now do computer ram from 1980 to 2020 before Ai was involved, and discuss size per dollar. You wanna do CPUs or hard drives next?

Heckling your friends after they dropped $3k on some sloppy fridge is kinda cruel. Advise them hard when they ask for advice - here’s where you say “everyone will laugh” and “stupidest idea” - but commiserate when they realize what they’ve got.

You want to be in a position to offer advice for the next sloppy purchase.

probably shut down the AI servers in a few years for cost reduction making the whole thing a huge waste of money.

It’s like you’ve seen the Portal video chat units. (What a beautiful piece of hardware)

Why are so many gun-owners short-sighted and self-centered?

Good drivers subsidize the assholes

The same as healthy people subsidize the sick; or childless people subsidize schools anyway?

Its fun to accuse murder victims of white privilege? That’s a weird hobby.

3 years ago in r/pics I left a comment to a pic. I know that it was a “piling-on” situation, as my entire comment was

And my axe!

Banned. The entire thread was killed and I could only see my comment: no clue as to context.

I asked a mod and got some ‘f-u’ response. I asked for clarification on that (politely, I promise) and got perma-banned.

Corrective action needs context. That was just fronting. As an ass, I can confirm: that mod also was an ass.

That’s something the EU would do, but never America.

“configuring DHCP in networkd/NetworkManager systems is almost impossible, here’s how I did it”

six lines.

Outside of Systemd and all its other neu-code shyte, it’s a one-line change to either your network config or your dhclient.conf. It’s been around 35 years and well-tested, and didn’t need St Lennart’s cancer to somehow fix.

When it ain’t broke …

decided to quit suddenly.

I dunno about quitting - it’s not really the season for that - but I’ll bet that Flu bug going around hit a bunch of them for a week or two.
