Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.
I started calling it “Grandma Debian” for some reason.
… I say this as a Debian user after new versions of Mint failed to accurately detect my RAID size. I tried Ubuntu for giggles, same problem, but Grandma Debian worked perfect out of the box.
To be fair, it is a software RAID in the BIOS and those are known to be odd.
I just enjoy that I can call them “xbone”
Is there a sim card buried in there somewhere that can be removed or is it soldered in, potted, etc?
… Or your car bricks if you remove it wouldn’t surprise me, regardless.
Might vary by locale? Around here (South US) it seems like every single store has their own rewards/discount/whatever system that requires your phone number but it’s not necessary for the transaction… It’s just an extra info grab.
Sometimes the user facing POS/credit card reader will let you handle it (enter/skip) but many places rely on the salesperson to ask and then enter it or skip.
But, I also don’t get around much so my experience is limited.
Same.
Cashier: “What’s your phone number?” (For the store tracking/rewards/whatever)
Me : “Don’t have one!” (As I remove the credit card from the case on the back of myphone)
Nobody has questioned it once. They don’t want to ask in the first place but are forced to.
Generally speaking, programmers like to program (many do it just for fun), and many dislike review. AI removes the programming from the equation in favour of review.
This really resonated with me and is an excellent point. I’m going to have to remember that one.
Damn, beat me to it.
I can also recommend this service.
Slashnet still exists and it’s fairly active depending on the channel. #xkcd was bumping last time I checked my client.
: D
I think they just fixed it
Yeah, Linux can capture and playback the spoken distinction between lowercase and uppercase letters. Windows can’t do that.
You’re not taking advantage of that functionality?
There was a big headline recently about a tech company accidentally hiring a North Korean “hacker” (I’m just going off the headline) so that might be fresh in memory with regards to your laptop farm reference.
Lately I’ve been partial to Yeats similar quote :
The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.
gun-zip just rolls off the tongue better. Two syllables instead of three? Yes, please.
I’ve never heard fs-tab in my life. Always f-stab. Hmmm…
Whoopsie!
I’ll join this.
I commented on a motorcycle thread a few days ago where the poster said “bike from 1982, over forty years old” (or something to that effect) where I had to do the math and realize… Shit… That was forty years ago.
I’d been looking for the nudge to cancel and the last round of ads did it for me.
Host it yourself with Ladder : D
https://github.com/everywall/ladder
I started hosting this when 12ft wasn’t working for many things. I told a friend and they said “what about 1ft?” Which I hadn’t seen before. Now that other commenters said 1ft is shutting down, I’m glad I went ahead with self hosting Ladder
Also might check out /c/selfhosted for more self hosting info.
Don’t let your dreams be dreams. I believe in you.
Hi there thermostat buddy. 19.5 here too.
