Thanks for the reply. Indidntnknow about the haptoc part. That is interesting.

What is awesome about it?

Have you tried trail sense? Comes with a compass but does a lot more.

I added it with Fdroid but it is in the playstore.

The last article I read said 5 out of the 6 people in a group that were deported were legally in the US, had their paperwork, and valid work permits.

STFU about difficult and dangerous.

Instagram is in the same category and are the same company, lets not forget. Yet so many people can say out of one side of their mouth “leave facebook!” but then say no not instagram too!

Presidential sharpie is coming out to fix it.

Crazy how the prices are so varied. Just as good as today in 1985 was $25 an eighth if you knew where to look on the west coast. There already were hybrid and medical experimental strains out for sale.

Fast forward to today and you can settle in on top shelf for anywhere from $5 to $20 an eighth. Anymore than that is crazy expensive.

But of course things that are easy to grow and were illegal before can’t really be compared to other products can they?

For the first time strangers were meeting other than face to face, and without any of the social context clues that would have previously guided us in person.

The suggest this was the 90’s? More like the 80’s. BBS were doing this for quite a while.

Yeah, this will work for a while but I think the days have gotta be numbered.

Best long term solution? Leave YouTube.

I guess in the meantime: if on PC grab the freetube flatpak. Really decent client, anonymous and create subscriptions without actually subscribing.

I get your point, but I gotta say: I do want to buy my ketchup in a glass bottle. And I do, mostly because the ketchup is 10 times better than then generic crap that is Heinz or whatever major name.

But I don’t mind shaking the bottle, it’s not hard.

Most things I don’t want plastics for, and in the case of viscous fluids, why not jars?

It would be nice to drop off the jar with the local mustard maker and get a fresh one. Standardizing on glass sizes would help a lot, but then of course we gave water issues for cleaning all of them.

Never heard of glance. It’s an ai shopping tool? I couldn’t make sense of it, but I didn’t spend much time either.

So assuming you are traveling, what do you bring with you if it isn’t a mobile streaming device, a laptop, or a mobile device that you are going to stream to?

You saying you wouldn’t have those things away from home? Or a firestick.

Tailscale makes this easy if you are the only user.

“install this app on your tv and log in”, which is exactly what Plex does

Yes, but that person has to create an account. Everyone has to create an account. With Plex. Some people I know immediately say no, others are annoyed that plex would try and shake them down for money.

If you configure Jellyfin, all that goes away. THEN they can simply download the app and login.

I got concerned when people started buying Plex hats. And being excited about that purchase.

I noticed that Logo on Hats people who are willing to pay for them is often a bit concerning.

I think you might be forgetting just how much e-waste was going on leading up to 2010. All the way back in 2003 I was using recycled computers for my Linux servers. Windows XP came out in 2001 and by about 2005 the number of Win98 machines being dumped was pretty high.

So I looked it up using the way back machine. I saw a flyer for my local computer store. You could buy a basic but complete computer NEW for under $200 in 2010. You also could spend thousands of course but you didn’t have to. You could get a netbook new for $150.

So I went to some liquidation and used computer sites and old newspapers in 2010. A dell optiplex p4 at 2.4 ghz complete with 90 days warranty: $60. And it seems used is about $50 to $100 in general. Laptops a slight premium. And those are the ones people tried to get money back from. Lots of them were just FREE. The number of garage sale listings in the newspapers offering free computers is crazy.

And I mention all of that because Linux was how you took an old win 98 machine and turned it into a functioning web host, or email server, or NAS, or whatever back in those days.

And by the way, I think I paid $25 for my sharp zaurus used in 2005. It was so cool to have an internet handheld with color that you could use in full sunlight and ran linux.

Edit: I hope you see this! If you lived in Fayette county (GA) in 2010, you could get a Dell Optiplex GX280 P4 at 2.8 ghz complete computer, monitor, mouse, keyboard for $65, with free shipping. That should tell you something right there.

If you were moving around sure. But most kids I knew by that age had something… anything. A used one for free by that point, maybe $50 at most if you paid.

It was the juxtaposition of dirt cheap computers, being able to even afford a smartphone, AND taking a shot at installing a new OS. Usually that path was a little bit of geekery beforehand maybe ability to coble together a computer or grab a second hand laptop. If that wasn’t you, thats cool.

Oh boy it’s kind of hard to explain. A comedian gets actors to practice things,like a rehearsal for an event. In this case he wants to improve airline safety because most accidents are because co-pilots don’t speak up when there is a problem. So he invents ways to recreate those scenarios with actors and complete airport, real pilots and co pilots.

We see a real former aviation safety cobsultant and former safety board worker who has been trying to improve airline safety, a congressman, doctors and more, while we discover the pressure of pilots to never talk about their feelings for fear of losing their jobs. Pilots and copilots sit in silence before flights, it’s crazy.

The series escalates with more elaborate and surprising reveals including a real contest and deals with rejection, autism, and the themes of dealing with a dovorce and being alone.

Its a comedy, its somewhat shocking, and it is entertaining while being a bit disturbing in many ways.

All to try and improve flight safety. For real.

Yeah. It just is really surprising the phone came first that late in computer history

I’m not emotional, I am calm, lol. I think you took that too seriously. But seriously I kid you not the rehearsal this season really was that good.
