I went from a prestigious role in tech to a much lower-rung one that isn’t so demanding. I’d rather have a pleasant life than a large paycheck. Went from miserable to very happy.

Friend majored in philosophy. Guess how much he got to use that?

I use public@mydomain. Hasn’t negatively affected me. I created a burner Gmail account for a Google Meet interview and then tossed it aside after. I’ve been hired for two jobs in eight years using the public@ address.

If I don’t take my shirt off when hanging out with hookers, I must be doing something wrong.

That’s not caving. That’s standing up and saying fuck you, your people don’t matter as much as the rest of the world because you’re lunatics.

God, he looks old. Ronnie was a youngish guy when I was a kid. What happened?

Oh, he ate at McDonald’s every day since then? I see.

Glad I saw this. I downloaded the tool on recommendation from a forum post when I was reviving my homelab. I’ll nuke it for sure.

Late GenX (really, between X and Millennial): we expected everyone after us to understand tech. Nope.

This made me laugh a lot harder than expected.

But the box it came in… that’s completely different.

Change banks.

Yes, warn us who to avoid.

You want to be in control of your data? Silly human…

Smart TVs are subsidized by selling your data.

Yeah, sleepovers were awkward late at night or early in the morning due to my insomnia / bi-polar. Everyone always wanted to sleep and I wanted to just hang out.

That’s a sinister look. I think it says, “but this one is mine, mfer.”

Listen, I think it’s remarkable that people could paint such realistic depictions of animals in France and I can’t doodle a satisfactory person with a sword.

If you are detained and questioned by police, you have a right to remain silent, and to speak with an attorney before and during any questioning. It is best to say “I want my attorney and I choose to remain silent” and then refuse to answer questions until you have a chance to talk to a lawyer.

It should be noted that failure to identify does not fall within your right to remain silent. You will be arrested if you don’t ID yourself with name and DOB. They have to be able to figure out if you’re wanted to conduct their investigation. But that’s the most that is required and you should probably shut up after that.

People who don’t have the tech chops for self-hosting can also check the market for shop displays (like you’d see above the counter in a fast food joint). Those are “dumb” displays, no ads bs built-in because they aren’t expected to be used outside of a commercial environment.

They cost more than smart tvs because the ads subsidize consumer models. Rather, they cost as much as tvs this size really cost (after markup). $1700 is not realistic for a huge screen if it didn’t have ads. Also, fuck ads.
