Google used to be the ultimate engine 15 years ago. Now it’s the same 5 sites and 10 ads over and over.

https://www.slax.org/ It’s easy, is a full featured desktop, and has persistence on your USB stick.

f. Its an app. The lowest form of tech after the clay tablet.

Since when? Boomers will click anything you send them, Gen X think they are too clever to be phished on their XP desktop, and Millennials will give you their entire credit history for $50 off a streaming service. The majority of every generation doesn’t give a shit about digital privacy.

iDevices are a cult. Same as Facebox, Instapot and TicTac.

Did you have a Razor? Best phone I ever had.

Fuck them. Life should be hard for the lazy and ignorant.

Dude, I work with a bunch of kids who have_never_owed_a_computer, either an iPhone or iPad from birth until their 20s. Having to explain how to use a computer to some one 15 years younger than me make me want to rip out my rapidly greying beard.

I had bad luck and ended up with a Pixel 2 that was carrier unlocked, appeared to have an unlocked bootloader but was some special Verizon version that did not allow flashing. Fuck you, Verizon.

Damnit, I’m boring af. Machines are named by their model for laptops/consumer devices and buy their CPU for home built stuff.

Except for Crimson-Binome.local 🏴‍☠️

I might do so as well to avoid the next decade of shopping around.

I know there are other factors it just feels like the only people getting screwed are the little guys. In Canada the rates that third party ISPs pay and charge are dictated by the giant telcos. Our regulating body even allowed the telcos to raise prices to the point where reselling is no longer viable. Fucking the little guys again.

Docker kinda does it by being like an app store but for servers. It’s not very flexible but everyone using a particular image gets the same experience.

Ubuntu has a bigger market share in the support department. Makes it easier to find advice that applies specifically to your setup.

This is the way. I run stock Debian with LXC, you get what you ask for and that’s it.

I was with Google Domains but switched to Namecheap. They are easy enough to work with and not the most expensive.

Come to Toronto/The GTA, the lack of investment in public transit is on par with the rest of North America.

Microsoft explains that Call of Duty doesn’t have to be on every console, because it isn’t that important to the video game industry.

I feel like they should not be the ones making that judgement when deciding if some company is going to be buying up large portions of an industry.

Average users view the web raw, this will go totally unnoticed by >90% of users. If web-drm becomes a thing then it will be easy enough to block those sites and add them to the list of media that is morally acceptable to pirate.

Who needs fuses anyway.
