The point is "America Bad. Upvotes to the left."

If I recall correctly, I was obsessed with the PBS show "Cyberchase" and had Googled the main antagonists name "Hacker" which lead to me HackForums.

It ended up being a very significant influence on my computing career!

> I went to urgent care a few months ago to get tested for COVID and two other flu strains and it came out to almost $500.

They have at-home COVID+Flu tests are my local CVS for $35, why go to an urgent care?

I enjoy a local Pittsburgh bakery Mancini's. That's my benchmark for "good bread", I've never been to Europe though.

Jacob's Ladder (1990) is one I'm thinking of too.

Nostr is basically this.

It's a cool idea, in practice it kind of sucks as an experience.

It's been developed adjacent to the Bitcoin community and I can't say there's much going on besides spam.

Perhaps ATProto vs. ActivityPub will been seen as the Fediverse's East-West Schism.

Instead of decrees over the "filioque" we get blog posts about the definition of "federation" where both parties talk past each other.

read Popper

..as opposed to other green energy programs that received no government investment?

...or the externality-free fossil fuel industry?

I dunno https://immich.app is pretty painless IME.

? it has a mute button and I find it as responsive as my old shield tv.

I never experienced but I've heard universities used to have the best curated radio stations.

> There's also many independent internet radio stations or music podcasts these days which can be launched for little money, don't require a broadcasting license and can be listened to from any place in the world.

Indeed - radioparadise.com is a quite nice Internet Radio

Thank you for your service!

I was under the impression that the Steam Deck runs under KDE Wayland? I wasn't aware of it having video game support challenges due to Wayland.

> a much better strategy is to first make the feature unavailable by normal means

They started doing that in early 2024 with the release of KDE 6.0 by enabling KDE Wayland by default. The Wayland-only change won't happen til 6.8 which will be an early 2027 release.

> And only then, once we are confident that no massive unforeseen issue has surfaced, can the codebase be removed.

Yes, that's the current step they'll be at with 6.8.

I have a ‘25 Subaru Solterra (rebadged Toyota bZ4X) and it checks all these boxes (except it lacks a glovebox, though I believe this is remedied in the ‘26).

It’s a good car in the sense it’s good at car things, even some EV things - but dear Lord is Toyota bad at making software.

The software is consistently unreliable, unstable, and feature incomplete- which they still have the gall to charge for.

Quoting a tweet:

“People on twitter will really be like ‘you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a Walmart’ and then not firebomb a Walmart”

QuietScrob on iOS/iPadOS works pretty well - it seems any breakage is due to Apple silently changing APIs more than anything on the dev's end.

On Desktop (macOS) I use the official Last.FM app - however it's still a Rosetta 2 app which will be sunset in the fall :(

Going off of "data" from r/uptimeporn I can only conclude that Cisco makes the most stable software of all time.

A NACS to CCS (L3) adapter won’t work with L2 chargers, you’ll need a NACS to J1772 adapter.

This is the one I use https://ev-lectron.com/products/lectron-tesla-to-j1772-adapt...

I did a lot of research on home charging at r/evcharging and the consensus always favored hardwiring your EVSE if possible.

With the cold snap in the eastern US I'm quickly learning EVs range and charging short comings in below freezing weather.

They do? It's pretty limited but if you tap your profile photo at the bottom of Music and then tap your profile photo in the menu again it'll bring you to a "Apple Music profile" of sorts you can follow people with.

Orpheus and Redacted existed but it's kind of hard to beat the convenience of streaming for the low price in 2025.

Granted you can set up automated *arr systems with PLEXAMP to get a pretty seamless "personal Spotify" setup IME getting true usefulness out of trackers of What's quality always required spending real money - to obtain rare records/CDs on marketplaces - or at least large amounts of time if you went the "rent CDs from the library" route. I personally haven't ran into much RYM releases lacking on Apple Music and what is lacking I can find on Bandcamp or YouTube.

The $2000 daily driver died with covid.

Do you have a good guide/video/write up on this?

I’ve been putting off remaking my GPG and SSH keys using a Yubikey.

You can buy refurb M1s for $379 at Walmart.

I was just telling my buddy the same thing. It was our first SSD in HS. Mine eventually died with double the guaranteed TBW.

Aren't most micro-transactions like those purely cosmetic?
