where the colour of the text bubble is important for reasons that defy logic.

That's just a thing tweens and teens do, it's just like when kids were obsessed with expensive shoes when I was a kid and would ostracize the kids who couldn't afford them. No sane adult I have ever met gave a shit about my text bubbles.

When you realize corporations exist for the benefit of shareholders and not the customers it serves, it makes a lot more sense why they act the way they do.

That's why things like credit unions usually don't suck as hard.

Depends on where you live. Here in the city I live, the last mile is in underground conduit next to power, water, and sewer lines. It transitions to pole-mounted at the suburbs.

Water? You mean like in the toilet?

A lot of post-September 1993 internet users wouldn't understand, I get it.

That's exactly it. I know HOW to program generically. I know what control flow is, how memory works, what a pointer and an object is. I just need some coaching on syntax because it's all just too much to memorize in one lifetime. But once I see it written and used in front of me, I can easily determine if it's any good or not.

It's amusing when it just makes up methods to objects of mine that don't exist. I can spot crap like that immediately. On one of those occasions I actually wrote it into the class so it would actually compile because I thought it was a useful thing.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE WON A FREE APPLE IPOD! as it wakes up half the neighborhood.

Sometimes:

1. I don't have an automation ready to go to do exactly the sequence of things I want to currently do.
2. I'm warm in bed and I'm lazy and I don't have a phone or computer handy.

Dude literally just explained the issues facing actual workers that use computers for productive activities, not your mother looking up tendie recipes.

A wall plug came with a Schuko adapter...

I've been saying this since the Nest and other similar bullshit came out. In the electronic security industry, we've been installing hardwired PoE cams for over a decade and a half. High resolution, high bandwidth, no batteries or separate power adapters, centrally managed LOCAL video storage. And not vulnerable to RF jamming/hacking. Stop buying the shitty Harry Homeowner equipment.

In the 80s and 90s stores used to put up signs that read "monitored by CLOSED CIRCUIT television" because even back then they didn't trust wireless and they made sure you knew it wasn't.

25 years later...

"Fuck that, space is scary as shit."

That's how to anti-troll. Wear it with pride and throw it right back at them. Once you show them it affects you negatively, you've lost.

I mean that's what they all did with the "deplorables" thing.

I swear my kid thinks we were all hand starting our Ford Model-Ts before 2012 (his birthday).

Kinda like I perceive the 70s I guess. The dark ages, the before time before I existed.

This is the kind of stuff seasoned Linux users just mindlessly deal with without realizing it and then tell new users "What's your issue? It's super easy to use." They're using years and years of institutional knowledge they've built up without knowing.
