Business majors are so incredibly dumb. Why did we as a society decide they were so important?

Inciting violence was the reason given for me too. Challenging Nazis is violent to them. Don’t let them normalize this idiocy.

I checked on it again later. Was still on the porch scared when I opened the front door to check but that scared it off.

It’s always good to keep your options open. The fediverse has set up guardrails to prevent things from happening here that have already happened out there but anything can fail. I myself have an account on ramble if shit goes bad here. Always have an escape route. Have no loyalty, that will be abused.

Well yea, because it’s cute when they do it.

Allow me to demonstrate…

“RUST IS THE BEST PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE AND USING ANYTHING ELSE IN 2025 IS IRRESPONSIBLE!”

What got you banned? I said mean things about Elon Musk.

My roommate found a large dog on our front porch tonight. He turned his car around, aimed the headlights at it, then came up to the front of porch and took a picture of it to text me, BLOCKING ITS ONLY EXIT ROUTE.

I open the front door to see the shaking, scared dog ready to freak the fuck out and the roommate is getting out of his car to try and pet the cornered animal. I waved him off and kept the doors closed so it could feel safe and get away.

The more attention the dog got, the more violently it trembled. And my roommate just wants to pet the doggie.

My point is there are a lot of incredibly stupid people out there. Their stupidity will eventually kill them. It just hasn’t done so yet.

It’s good to know my opinions terrify those in power.

Are you seriously asking?

This is my cat. 100%.

“I need attention. I need it now. I’m going to scream at you until I get it and I will not stop until one of us is dead.” -pets the kitty- BITE!

I had this issue for years and finally tried just plain head and shoulders. Once the bottle ran out I went back to regular shampoo and conditioner and I only wash my hair 3 times a week now. The dandruff never came back.

It depends. If I’m looking for a new app that does task X, I look at my options and compare them against eachother using that box.

I’ve had synology, QNAP and a few DIY builds. I can tell you the diy route is better every time. They get a much longer life and lower costs.

If cheap is the most important thing and you don’t need more than 2 drives, consider an odroid HC-4. You can always 3D print a different shell for it if you want too. I made a cylinder Mac Pro shell for a friends dads build.

You can’t rely on mass produced NAS devices because they don’t support their stuff long term. It always blows up. And when the In go wrong in the short term, the support is trash tier. I once had a synology that would crash every time it went to sleep and it would ignore my attempts to sleep off. When I got hold of support, they told me to open the SSH port to the WAN for it and they would get to it in a week or 2. Damn thing was attacked instantly.

Never use an off the shelf NAS.

Why even buy the raw discs? Their SSDs are trash (including their SanDisk offerings) and for hard drives seagate is perfectly fine. If I’m oka with high a cheap SSD, I’ll just buy an inland drive.

They already ruled on this in favor of allowing you to back up what you already own. See video games, DVDs and CDs, video tapes, this is well established already.

“If you keep using our tech to slaughter Palestinians we’re going to have put a stop to it….later….after they are all dead and we’ve made our money”

It’s hilarious Qualcomm keeps claiming this is their tech. They failed for years to make ARM on pc happen. Then some engineers leave Apple after the transition to M-series chips and make their own equivalent for PCs and Qualcomm, on contract with Microsoft to deliver an ARM chip for windows-powered portables just fucking buys them and slaps their branding on it. There is a HUGE difference between the X series Qualcomm chip and their previous SQ-series science fair trash. The X series are good chips. Their Linux support is lacking but for most users who wouldn’t consider leaving windows even if it gave them cancer these are perfectly fine chips. We need more diversity in the chip market and ARM is great for that. Qualcomm sucks is all.

Pinch flat. GitHub. Go.

This entire thing has been made needlessly complicated. Easy fix though.

1. Get whatever ebook you want.
2. Borrow some code from GitHub and teach a raspberry pi with a camera and a few servos to snap pictures of pages, turn the pages, snap again into a PDF.
3. A script then parses all the images and OCRs them for the final PDF.
4. You now own a backup of your DRM book, which you own forever. Pretty sure this is actually legal under DMCA since you are taking a backup of something you allegedly own. The encryption circumvention is irrelevant.
5. now, break the law and throw the PDF on the internet to everyone. Go little bot! Go go go!
