I think what they meant is “why is this so cheap relative to American competitors since they’re all stealing your data just as much.”

Any good open-source nvrs that support bidirectional rtsp? I know zoneminder didn’t last time I checked.

Yeah because american tech companies never spy on your or steal your data…

I make burner inboxes on tutanota for longterm, yopmail for short-term. You might have to try multiple exits, but eventually you can get tuta to let you make an account over TOR.

Why pay for a burner?

That being said if you need a burner SMS number, no good free alternative to that since those usually involve simfarming.

Been a fan of smspool for that reason.

What if my religion is taking copious amounts of psychedelics and thinking about the law of conservation of mass?

My early gen 9 civic is a year or two newer than that, but I think its the last model year it DID NOT have a sim.

Drawing a dick on a foggy mirror is art.

Plenty of people think their art is awful, even when it isn’t, programmers especially so.

Its not about just respect for your own art, but respect for everyone else in the art form. If you wrote bad code but put in effort, you still put effort into the art, therefore its not an insult to the medium itself, and the community around it.

Furthermore, how do you expect to get better at that art when you have the easel do so much of the painting for you?

Programming is an art and using LLMs makes you as much of a hack as a visual artist resorting to Stable Diffusion.

Everything matters. From high-level architecture to little details of implementation.

Last time I checked us programmers had preferences for details as small as tabs vs. spaces, or curly bracket placement.

You think I’m going to let a fucking machine make decisions about implementation for me?

Let alone high-level architectual ones?

Everything about your software should have intent, and its impossible for LLMs to actually intend to do something.

So you can fuck right off with that, and while you’re at it, stop poisoning the worlds codebases (and drinking supply.)

Yes I think if software companies put money into easy to setup home servers that would be better than what’s available to the average consumer.

I might be the sort of person to keep a 24u rack in their closet, but you shouldn’t have to to reap the benefits.

I mean Jesus, even cloud providers know this. Just look at AWS Outposts.

These laws didn’t even ban them, they just lead to the current disposables market which are allowed by loophole:

1. Cheaper and easier to obtain, usually sold in gas stations
2. Typically cheaper coils, meaning heavy metals
3. Cheaper batteries meaning more fires
4. So. Much. More. Ewaste.

Going back makes it easier for people with custom mods to obtain ejuice which is like the millennial equivalent to smoking half and half out of a wooden pipe.

Also every weed dispensary I’ve ever been too has had flavored vape carts/pods and disposables, usually flavored w/ natural terpenes taken from weed or other plants.

(with help of their parents)

Yeah maybe they’d like to at least attempt to finish raising their kids before having to raise their kids kids?

I mean Jesus Christ people can barely afford to live alone let alone take care of their kid. Most parents do NOT have the resource for an unplanned kid.

Who’s going to pay a two teenagers a living wage? Whos going to make up for the fact that their fucking brains are still under heavy development? Better yet, the fact that they aren’t even full fucking adults? That’s a lot of heavy lifting, even if they’re “good with the help of their parents.”

Call me crazy, but if I thought I was almost done parenting only to find out I have another 18+ years of this shit I’d be a little pissed.

Because at 17 and 19 he’s going to be the actual parent.

Especially if those two idiots think having a kid at that age is a good idea.

Most dipshit teenagers know better than that.

Is it elitist to think bad UX is a smaller problem than core political ideology, especially for a group of people who’re far more computationally literate/flexible than at leas 75% of the population.

Some of these people are tech workers for fuck sake. It would be elitism if these where people without much experience around computers.

Its not elitism if people are just choosing not to put effort into shit they claim matters deeply to them.

My mas a nurse and had them skip the HPV when I was born vaccine because it was spanky new and had some issues at the time and its not like if be exposed hepatitis any time soon. Claimed religious reasons, which is funny because she knew the Dr, and he knew it was BS.

That being said 12 years later in middle school they she signed the sheet for me to get it no fuss.

She ain’t anti-science, just doesn’t trust systematic organizations not to test shit on poor people.

She was also adamant about getting covid shots early because also has an understanding of risk vs reward, but advised to avoid J&J for obv reasons.

Funny you mention. Ran pfsense as a router for years (still do.)

I had a Ubiquiti AP but hate shaving to run a VM or own separate hardware just to properly configure it. Especially considering it was the only ubiquiti gear I had.

Ended up installing openwrt on it and ended up with what I actually wanted out of an access point.

I use dlinks and what not now, whatever is cheap, has a decent radio, and supports openwrt.

No the one that pisses me off are the people who understand that computers take effort and the only way to fix that is to have an organization that takes care of that effort for you.

For example to replace discord your only options are: Corporate shit Startups which are a few extra users away from IPO’ing into corporate shit Something open source selfhosted

I get why normal folk don’t wann self host. What I can’t stand is the complaints about using other peoples self hosted servers because you can’t be fucked to remember more than two URLs/passwords as if your browser doesn’t have bookmakers and you don’t have a password manager.

Like fuck sure, its cool you don’t want to do system administration. But the only way an extra site is inconvenient is if you’re incapable of the computer equivalent of wiping your own ass.

These are young anticapitalist, chronically online queers I’m talking about too.

If they’re not willing nobody is and its fucking soul crushing to know.
