I have multiple young-ish (30s) friends that don’t own a phone (not just smartphone; any phone), and basically all people I know above 80 years don’t own one either.

You can absolutely live a perfectly fine and good life without a smartphone. You’re just drawing the line where it’s convenient for you.

Or let’s put it in more familiar words…

[Owning a smartphone] is not “participating in society”, this is participating in, contributing to, and directly benefitting from the very thing they’re complaining about.

The Creator

Relatively small budget, but looks better than basically anything else that landed in cinemas at the time, or since.

Guess they saved on the script…

you’re a regular person

someone walks up to you

it’s racism

Reeeeeally telling on yourself there bud.

Yeah. Honestly it might be a good idea to start a community project that’s a “nix2everyDistro”, and then go around and open PRs on FOSS projects to wire their project up to build in nix + output “every distro”

Yes

Where did they out the evidently much larger amounts of housing/building demolition rubble?

Troll.

Are you sure you aren’t either applying nixpkgs overlays, or following master instead of nixos-unstable? I’ve not really experienced anything like you’ve described.

Anyways - I’ve additionally built my own cache server, which builds every output of my flake every time I push to main. System updates are ONLY downloads now. Also allowed all of my low-powered VMs to auto-update, since they’ll never need to build anything at all.

How about only apply to non-FOSS software? Most hobby projects used not just by the author altend to be FOSS, and businesses can decide to go FOSS, making their software independently auditable by anyone, or go through certification.

I guess there’s a danger of a campaign to re-brand FOSS as “uncertified” then…

They are also machine-washable.

I heard about star citizen when I was a teen, and it looked soooo cool. Unfortunately my PC was not strong enough. So I saved up for months to buy a PC specifically to play Star Citizen. Finally, I had all the upgrades I needed for the PC. Started excitedly pouring over Roberts Space Industries to pick my ship. Noticed the pricing model was… Off. In fact, this felt like a scam. Hold on, there’s no real game I could actually play? Decided to hold off until something released I could play, ideally with friends, and ideally via a less obfuscated pricing model.

Anyways, I’ve checked in with SC about once a year since. I’m about to begin the process to finance a house with my girlfriend of 9 years. Exciting times ahead.

I’m pretty sire SC won’t have released anything close to what was promised in 2012 by the time I retire, MUCH less anything promised since.

(Btw I was not a smart teen. I fell for lots of things and lost money to scams and stupid games. I got lucky with SC, because in an alternate universe, I might also be stuck in sunk cost fallacy.)

No, absolutely with you on this! I didn’t mean that I don’t understand because you can simply change the string (because agreed, most people don’t know and can’t be expected to know about this).

What I meant is: in 20 years of FF usage, I have come across ~5-10 broken sites (legitimate or UA, doesn’t matter).

So I can’t understand when people say they can’t use FF because it breaks so many sites.

So I have little understanding when people say they can’t use Firefox because pages break.

goes to prove the depths of the lack of technical illiteracy that the western world has been shepherded into.

Just to be clear: I don’t mean that I expect most people to know about user agent strings. I just cannot confirm the “so many sites don’t work!” complaints, flat out

Same here. I also can count on one hand the occasions where a site was broken in FF but worked in Chromium. And for a majority of those, that was intentional (aka no actual issue, switchtig the user-agent “fixed” the site). So I have little understanding when people say they can’t use Firefox because pages break.

Worse than just taxing them properly.

Most correct answer possible.

• Sourdough Starter
• An SSH private key that might come in handy later

Outside of a massive sorting facility in every supermarket generating no value for the store owner

We already do exactly that for plastic bottles in Germany. You pay 5-30ct premium on each bottle and get that back when disposing of the bottles in the sorting machine. Participation is close to 100%.

For glass, it at least gets sorted into white/green/brown glass to make recycling easier (not in the supermarket though, just containers positioned in residential streets / recycling centers).

You killed him! NOW IT’S JUST “Lake”!

Lmao this is fantastic, thank you.
