I was going to say California. We have constant outages here — having grown up in blizzards and tornados I never imagined they wouldn’t be able to keep power on here. It’s bad, like I mean when there’s a little wind it’s probably not staying on.

the OS

Windows maybe? I’ve been using macOS (UNIX), FreeBSD (UNIX) and Linux for the past 20+ years.

I typically have two tabs of the same website open and need to know which tab belongs to which page. Just having the icon looks so sloppy to me and I always see coworkers cycle through their 4,000 tabs to get to anything.

Ugh, I see this on people’s computers at work during screen sharing. First off, Chrome is the clunkiest browser you could possibly use on macOS and second, why so many tabs? How do y’all need 20 tabs open — like you can’t even see the titles because there are so many?

What the fuck are you doing on a phone that you need 8 GIGABYTES of RAM? Damn son!

As a web developer… what?? If your website needs 8GB on the client to run there are serious, deeply ingrained problems with your front end. I recently scoffed at coworkers who wanted 8GB of memory for just one instance of their web server — I can’t even fathom how cursed the codebase is if the browser plows through 8GB of RAM on a page load.

Hard disagree. I have the same MacBook Air and it’s still crazy fast. What are y’all really doing that more RAM is so necessary?

I mean didn’t they gather all their leaders in the same place (where they got attacked) not once but twice?

Removed by mod

I see this constantly during the week (remote worker) when I walk my dogs. It’ll be Tuesday afternoon with unlimited street parking and everyone on the planet suddenly needs to stop abruptly right in the middle of the fucking road.

I use Alpine Linux because I just got tired of all the cruft and outdated packages from other distributions.

I haven’t used Windows in over 20 years. I’m not sure what random things you’d need it for. In fact when I fix people’s Windows machines I oftentimes have to use Linux to do it.

Work is pretty insane but I’ve been getting into CAKE, QoS, IP blocking, etc. on my home router (a mini PC with Alpine Linux).

What I drive: 2009 Audi A3 What I want to drive: cheap Chinese EV

I don’t drive often so a huge 50,000 USD loan for some gigantic EV is just not in the cards.

What is it about our species that we can’t just keep to ourselves? Was the “pageant” really necessary in the first place?

I get that $233 for a lunch is a lot, but frankly it’s really embarrassing to be showing off such a small amount. Is it a joke?

Alright I suppose but by that logic I shouldn’t wash any clothing — it all eventually fades and loses its quality no?

I haven’t worn jeans in 10+ years. Am I missing something? Why wouldn’t you wash them?

My main frustration is that the majority of instances are hosted in privacy-hostile jurisdictions.

Any chance you could just link directly to whatever it was you wanted to link to? This looks like a lot of layers of redirection going on and in the end it only redirects to example.com for some reason.
