I think they mean more in the sense that not all regular users automatically have access to the community.

I don’t know if that is possible. If it is, it’d have to be local to that instance only, or accept that other admins would be able to see what goes on.

Yeah, his braille skills are good enough.

This is all I do. It works pretty well. I sometimes have to turn it off briefly to log in to airplane wifi or such.

I mean, it might’ve not been illegal. It was probably hidden in some T&C somewhere. That’s the trade-off. You get a free privacy proxy, they get a free residential proxy endpoint.

I worked with a guy once, we’ll call him “Kevin”

I was making coffee in the office one day. Picture a typical Mr. Coffee type drip coffee maker. I filled the filter with grounds. I filled the glass pot with water. I poured the water into the reservoir. I missed a little - maybe ½ oz (~15ml) - that was left in the bottom of the carafe. Whatever, though, right? Coffee is mostly water, anyway. Whether that little bit went through the grounds or not doesn’t make a noticeable difference. I put it down in the machine and hit “start”.

Kevin was there and saw what happened.
“There’s some water still” he says, pointing at the carafe.
“Eh, yeah, but…” I started to say, before my brain interrupted me and I went wide-eyed.

Kevin decided that he would remedy this himself. He turned his pointing into a reaching, then a grabbing, then lifting the coffee pot. He thought he would pour the remaining water into the reservoir.

Before I could tell him to put it back, the coffee started coming out. With no pot in place to catch it, it starts going directly on the hot plate. Of course, Kevin is turning to me to argue about whether the water should be put in the reservoir or not. He’s not paying attention to what he’s doing.

A moment later, when he finally notices, he starts freaking out. Notably, this freaking out did not include immediately putting the coffee pot back on the coffee maker to catch the remaining coffee. I actually had to instruct him to put it back.

So yeah, the dumbest person I’ve worked with let coffee spill all over because apparently it’s unacceptable to have water in your coffee.

He’s talking to a coworker

Eh, HDMI is largely replacing it, even when it just carries audio and not video.

It’s a similar story with Skillet.

Ah, that makes sense

Soon? You don’t have your order in already?

Under standard time, I don’t see the sun before or after work during the winter. It rises after I get to work, and sets before I leave. I just want to get sunlight after work, even in the winter. Give me permanent summer time.

Anywhere in the north quarter of the continental US already has kids waiting for the bus in the dark, regardless of DST. It’s a poor argument from the get go

They don’t have a whole lot of legal avenues.

I think it’s highly individual. Some of them seem real. The example that comes to mind is Nathan Kessel and Annag. Others are going to be bullshit. I’m not as jaded as some people in this thread, though.

You sound like a party pooper

Idk, plenty of normal people buying the steam deck

Fuck. Tom Scott was right.

Eh, there’s a good chance that it works with Proton but they don’t want to support it.

Y’all are missing the point of saying it’s not a resumption. Of course it is. But they have to lie. If they admit they’re resuming, it means they’re in violation of the war powers act by going past 60 days. I expect the next lie will be that actually, this is a totally new military operation and the clock has reset.

By your logic, home air conditioning can’t work because the condenser is stationary.
