I wish they would have used 22/7 for pi and 7 for the radius or height

He was sentenced to prison for that crime. It wasn't part of his sentence for everyone to impose their own abuses and disrespects on top of that.

I can only get habaneros in a big bag, so this is perfect

I use Linux. Can someone explain this meme to me?

One thing about having a computer on a mobile connection that's not as great as you might think: it's easy for something like a software update to blow through a ton of data and cost a lot of money.

There are different cellular networks and frequencies in different places so computer manufacturers can't pick one module and expect it to work everywhere. If you're paying for service, you'll want to get the most out of it by having a modem that's up to date and maximally compatible with the network. So it makes sense to get a plugin device or a WiFi mobile hotspot from your carrier. A WiFi mobile hotspot can additionally be used with other devices.

Also mobile network hardware updates at a decent pace so it's nice to be able to update those single purpose devices at their own pace independent of your laptop upgrade.

And then carrier and FCC certification are an extra hassle for laptop makers.

That's stuff comes on the regular release cycle. Chrome and Firefox are both on a release every 4 weeks.

Yeah, Netflix knows I'm watching Stranger Things. But afaik they don't sell that information. And even if they do, there's still reason for this company to try to get it themselves for cheaper. And they know something else about you based on these crappy apps they're embedded in. So that's all extra data points they can cross reference and get even more data.

If it's trying to figure out if you're watching Stranger Things it can look for when you're stationary at home and just needs to record a few seconds at a time every few minutes. I don't know how the fingerprinting works. It might be able to run locally and not use a ton of power. We're talking Shazam, not full text transcription.

Can we talk about how screwed up that streak notification is? Let's encourage people who show signs of unhealthy usage of the platform to further their addiction?

You have a 300 day streak of using heroin, don't stop now!

Also the Chicken Guy (Guy Fieri's restaurant chain) in the mall near me shut down a few weeks ago. That was the most unhealthy food I've ever eaten. Good riddance. Also so arrogant to be right next to Chick-fil-A.

This. Use bullets or bold each question so the number of questions is clear before each question is fully read.

Literally a joke from the Simpsons. Bart runs for class president and proclaims "We want more asbestos!"

Her husband's name is Hunter

I believe that's what ostree is for

Sounds like that's exactly what they're trying to do.

For further details, see "The Master Plan" podcast series from The Lever.

Chesterton's fence is a warning not to commit this logical error: I don't know what this fence is for, therefore I know there is no reason for it.

It doesn't say never to remove it. It means you should try and figure out why it's there and ask around before removing it.

Other than the necessities, the one app I allow notifications for is the C-SPAN app. They send maybe 1 notification a week for something like a live presidential address on a news event.

Anything that might create excessive notifications (social media/news) I use as a web app on top of not enabling notifications.

Only texts and calls are audible notifications. Everything else is slient.
