CEOs are burning money on AI, so it still works.

I have an old iPad Mini that is long outside the support deadline for Apple. It’s using AltStore instead now, but when I tried to install a patched version of Spotify, the app and even the web app, completely blocked both the OS version and the WebKit version. I can’t even use the web version of Apple Music on it. The amount of artificial locks these companies use is annoying as fuck.

I use flex for most stuff 💪🏼

It definitely is lol. You’d use this for a landing page content container or something.

Omg are we bringing back forum signatures?! Throws reins off in joy

I’m one of those old devs that has been writing CSS for like 18 years. It’s funny. Even with access to AI, folks still ask me CSS questions because I actually know the ins and outs of it.

The worst is when rich people interview other rich people about their rich person thing (e.g. Ivanka Trump purchasing an island), so that poor people can watch it on television. That level of narcissism and arrogance is just fucking astonishing to me. You can be rich and also just shut the absolute fuck up about it.

The map tells us where to throw the bricks and install signal disruption tools.

Best behavior for the cameras. While we find ways to hack the system, scramble facial recognition, create alternative spaces they can’t touch, etc. We’re not going to broadcast how we circumvent their constant onslaught of creeper bullshit.

A reality TV show I’d actually watch.

I haven’t encountered any issues with work IT yet. Our IT team is pretty on point, so it wouldn’t surprise me if I wasn’t the only one that owned a GL.iNet. In fact, someone at work may have recommended them to me lmao.

I have AdGuard setup on mine! Worth it and dead simple to configure.

No problem! They’ve got quite a few of them, so hopefully something there works.

I love my GL.iNet router. It runs OpenWRT. I swapped to it a few months ago after getting a service upgrade and having my ISP try to force an Eero upon me.

Edit: they sell mobile routers too iirc (saw your other message).

Darknet Diaries + the Hackable podcast. When I was in-office and walked to work years ago, I cranked through so many episodes of each.

Can you list the good parts of capitalism? If you say the free market, capitalism doesn’t have a monopoly on that concept. Socialism and communism have free market aspects too, but they centralize control of resources so that 5 people can’t drain everything and ascend to the top.

As someone that has been writing CSS for something like 18 years, this is peak cringe.

I very clearly remember asking myself“what the hell is Steam and why are they suddenly the authority on game stores?” when I first discovered Steam. Now my wishlist alone has nearly 400 items on it and my library is massive.

The difference with Gabe is that he’s quiet and keeps to himself. He’s not putting on Met gala pageantry bullshit, or trying to sway elections. That doesn’t mean he magically gets a pass, but he’s not actively trying to ruin our lives and the planet like Bezos, Musk, the entire Trump admin, and Thiel are.

So cute! Hooray for pasta and food-based pet names!
