I might be ok with this if they also had "ebb" pricing. If I could walk in at 8pm and get a burger for a buck, it might be worth it never to go at lunchtime again.

This, of course, will never happen.

I don't think it's the software that's keeping it in the background. The instances I visit have seemed very functional. I think it's the simple fact that hosting large amounts.of video is really expensive in terms of storage space, bandwidth, and processor time (for transcoding). For a recreational self-hosting individual, it's just too much.

I'm no international law expert but I don't think that follows the Geneva convention.

If Scientology is against something, we should probably try to implement it at all costs. I consider this to one of the general tenets of humanity.

I think you all just have weak thumbs. I've always opened them just as the package says to. Never had a problem.

As a kid, I would have thumb wrestling matches with my older brother, and sometimes, on weekends, I'd hitchhike. I used my thumbs a lot. I've had to replace 4 space bars on my keyboard.

Never skip thumb day.

Facebook can get fucked. They offer even less to me than YouTube.

TikTok is correct. Ban them all.

I'm pretty sure they really mean SomethingAwful, RatherGood, AlbinoBlackSheep, etc. Most of what is being mentioned is before YouTube.

Also, Shiggity shiggity shwa.

This is why. https://www.theverge.com/...

"It's not rocket surgery."

This one irks me. Combination of "rocket scientist" and "brain surgery".

Plot twist: they're allergic to nuts and this was attempted murder.

My wife and I share the cars like this. Is it so weird? We usually select the best car for the job at hand.

The command that I can never get right the first time is ln. I always end up creating a dead link inside my target folder, even when I read the man page directly prior.

Seems like Chris Pine is getting surprised a lot these days. Maybe we shouldn't be asking him about these things.

If you fired a gun past an MRI machine, could it conceivably catch the bullets? I am currently assuming that significant deflection is absolutely possible with such a powerful magnet.

The first thing I do when researching a new electronic thing is to search "[brand] home assistant" to see if there is already an integration for their stuff. If not, I usually keep looking.

I'm not sure if the ADHD got worse or it was just the consequences that got worse. Either way, I've had to try to find coping mechanisms. I make a lot of lists and use the reminder app on my phone a lot.

This happened to me, but the single result from 10 years earlier was unfortunately also me.

I can already do this on my Samsung Galaxy S23. Has this been a Samsung-only thing?

That being said, Samsung's Bluetooth UI leaves much to be desired, IMO.

Edit: Granted, it doesn't work exactly as described in the article, but I can have multiple BT speakers playing the same content from my phone.

I remember running Slackware and having to recompile the kernel for just about any hardware you added. I configured a box to be used as a router before routers were something you could get commonly at Best Buy.

I was taking comp. sci. at university and all our work was done on Sparc workstations. Having a Unix-like machine at home was a great help during that time
