Fuck's sake*

Hank Green made a video about this exact phrase

Yeah, Vance is a lot smarter, but he does not have the sauce. He could do a lot of damage in the next couple years, but the GOP would get roasted in 2026

I mean, they're gonna get roasted anyway, but at least the MAGA cultists are gonna show up to vote for daddy Trump. If he dies, the cultists stay home.

I know a cat who does a sorta chirpy purr and sends himself into a coughing fit doing it sometimes, it's one of my favorite sounds

I'm not Tyler Bourbon, but it's Fusion 360 for me. I sound like a broken record at this point, but it's the only piece of software that keeps a windows install in my house

Hey Autodesk you should put F360 on Linux

In fairness, after October that security system will still be in place. The difference is that as soon as attackers finds a bypass, the security system will be worthless against future threats

An expanding market and competition don't change the fact that prices go up when prices go up. I suppose I can grant that it's cheaper to sell ones and zeros over the internet than it is to ship a bunch of discs to every GameStop. But still, physical manufacturing and distribution make up a small percentage of the price of a game

Gary was modifying hardware that people owned. That the modifications he was doing allowed for the play of pirated games is not in itself piracy. Besides, there is no fucking way he personally cost them enough money to justify having to pay them 30% of every dollar he makes for the rest of his life.

I like that analogy. A walking stick you buy from a store can never fit you as perfectly as one you make yourself, but if you don't know how to make a walking stick, you're gonna make a shitty walking stick. I'm happy that I'm in a position to walk with a shitty stick until I get better at carving, so to speak

Me going from Mint to Ubuntu to Kubuntu to Neon to Arch. My experience with the Arch installation process is just the command shutdown

Someday I'll be comfortable enough with this nerd shit to trust myself with unsupervised access to a CLI. Until then I'm happy just knowing what a DE is

People really don't seem to understand that video game prices have not kept up with inflation. It's why I didn't bat an eye at spending $70 on Baldur's Gate 3 despite the original costing like $50. When you account for inflation, it's actually cheaper.

That said, I avoid Nintendo on principle. Refusing to sell old games so that they can sue people who pirate them is ghoulish and inhuman. As long as Gary Bowser is forced to pay them, I never will.

Fr, GitHub may as well be written in wingdings

Thank Linus for nerds that write proper readmes

This is a job for water detectors, which I have no qualms about connecting to the internet. They have the added benefit of detecting leaky pipes as well

Makes me feel better about being a human. Our eyes are not deficient. Humans are superior!

Personally I would much rather touch my phone with my dirty hands than a toilet handle

I have become the red shirt from my favorite SMBC comic

However, my feelings regarding smart devices remain intact

Day 3,801 of thanking God I was born a Luddite

Anyone who thought their toilet would be improved by having an internet connection deserves this

It's not about arresting some rando off the street, it's about drumming up sympathy and making the other side look bad

Ce n'est pas un rocher

For me, it's that the app I use does not have the chat feature. I'm 99% certain this is just an attempt to push out the revanced users

That's true, but further proves my point that people should know more about the systems they interact with and how to manipulate them. If someone burns down their house while trying to replace an electrical outlet, that is not a sign that home handymen should not be replacing electrical outlets.
