Absolutely unhinged politicians. You telling me the masses voted this guy in? Unbelievable.

Cause it doesn’t just affect people they don’t like.

What?! Is he trying to improve the lives of those that don’t normally have easy bathroom access? How dare he! Government money should be a spent on improving his self image and ego!

Someone could write a book…

The Joys of Distro-Hopping

I tried running Bazzite for a few months, but just kept running into one weird issue after another. Went to Endeavor and they all went away overnight.

I’m technical enough that I can configure Arch from scratch, but simply can’t be bothered. I just need my computer to work. Every day.

I felt like when I was working with Arch, and I’m sure it’s operator error, it was like maintaining a starship with a dozen systems that could individually go wrong and I was responsible for all of them. Endeavor was fully setup with no weirdness in less than 30 minutes.

Depending on who you’re with, you can try calling their support and explaining what you’re looking for. I always tell them “I need to disable routing and have my gateway act like a modem. It should give a public IP directly to my router.” This should explain in layman’s to any technician what you’re looking for and they’ll be able to tell you if it can be done. If you’re with a cable or DSL provider, also ask about options to provide your own equipment. This can save you money in the long run, too, if you’re renting the hardware through them at the moment.

God. Imagine appreciating the nature for what it is. Pathetic. Sickening really. Just looking at it and not wanting to replace it all with parking lots and department stores. Instead they’re just eating incredibly sustainable diets and culturing the land to be prosperous. Morons.

Biiiig /s in case the 747 missed you

Why do you think they put on the rubber suit?

I don’t remember how long ago it was, but there was an interview where he said exactly this. AI is not a bad tool. It’s just that lots of people use it as the apply-to-everything hammer.

I briefly thought this was a real hot Guy Fieri take. I was so hopeful.

I’m more of a Comet guy myself

Maybe I’m misinterpreting, but if your gateway from your ISP is also routing and handing out IPs, this is known as a double NAT and can cause all sorts of weird issues. If you’re going from your ISPs gateway to your own router, their device should be bridged so it acts like a static modem.

I recognize “he knows, don’t go home” from Minority Report. Solid reference.

On a keyboard, almost never. From my phone, nearly every other comment. I have a lot of edits lol.

There are also standalone Meshtastic devices that don’t require your phone as a medium, but obviously they’re far less intuitive than an app.

Would it be still too risky to take an old phone that no longer has a SIM, running a custom ROM, and only tethered to one of these? Or would the Bluetooth still be too traceable?

It’s there some reason there aren’t more Modern Family memes? I feel like there’s tons of opportunity for them, but nothing (this might be the first one I’ve seen).

Lemmy hear you say

YEAH

I switched to iOS along the way, but Boost is still my favorite Reddit, now Lemmy client. I wish they would make their way to iOS.

I’ve never heard of Zardos personally, but it sounds like you’re looking for movies that have deep significance and application to the real world. My number one recommendation is Waking Life. It is a movie that thoroughly explores what it means to be human all without imposing any specific viewpoint or agenda.

It’s a series of borderline interviews taken from all walks of life and then rotoscoped into a beautiful dream sequence.

I can find ways that it’s relevant to just about every day of my life. It’s packed full of serious challenging conversations about the self, spirituality, morality and mankind.

If this isn’t the type of thing you’re looking for, maybe elaborate a bit more on what you mean.
