inside their stores

You should see Walmart WiFi policies

Heheheh… My DM tried to run this on the party, forgetting the Druid’s tremor sense meant she was never “not looking”

He was so livid. Even better was this is his wife playing said druid!

And yet they couldn’t extend the same courtesy for me when they raised my grandfathered family plan

That’s annoying. Part of the reason for local media is reducing the amount of monthly bills

What’s the state of apps like kodi or other methods of local streaming on Apple TV?

I’d like to find the guy

Who done me wrong

And stuck my butt up

On this Christmas tree?

The president/protagonist of Saints Row IV

This makes me feel like Jeremy Clarkson was on to something in the Top Gear Burma special (if just slightly off)

I miss my e280… With Rockbox, it got me through high school, getting to play Pokémon Silver on it

I got a used Fuze v1 off of eBay that works only as long as it boots rb from SD card, the internal flash now dead

You did well pointing that out. Imma just restate it here for those scrolling quickly:

we do participate in online targeted advertising and use analytics

When you need service, but data is blocked by all the steel in the ceiling/roof. I’ve used it, but with my VPN active. I wonder if they’re now going to try to block VPN services?

Gotta say, I’m pretty content with kbin

Yeah, this straight up happened to a dude I was rather fond of. We were working in desktop support for a big fintech company, and he used his not-quite-admin privileges to bypass the bootlock on the laptops for personal use. I warned him that it was a bad idea, he brushed it off. Was gone by the next week.

Yeah, the key problem here is that any open forum, of any considerable popularity, since the dawn of the Internet has had to deal with shit like CSAM. You don’t see it elsewhere because of moderators. Doing the very job Op does. It’s just now, Op, you’re in the position. Some people can, and have decided to, deal with moderating the horrors. It may very well not be something you, Op, can do.

To be fair, a considerable number of cartoons actively portray exactly that.

Because radio stations’ DJs would say “and here’s artist with song name”, I firmly believed that one of two things must be true:

Radio stations had the bands always playing live for them

And/or

Radio stations would present a local DJ, but they would then tune in to the artist playing the track live for a larger station

What’s even funnier about this is that my dad has at the time taught me how to use a tape deck to record radio and CDs to tape. So I clearly understood recording mediums. Just, the idea still lingered in my mind for a while.

I mean, I imagine a primary reason is also that the mainline distros don’t use it by default, necessitating one to look for “spins/flavors/whatever” that use it instead.

I’ve been seeing both recently. I’ve opted to err on the same side and just make it clear when I’m talking about spinning rust versus solid state.

This is just my observation, but I think it’s because the communities on PeerTube decided to just give up on controlling moderation of instances (perhaps because the instances were popping up like whack a mole?)

So they opted instead to just give up on the idea of any federation on the PeerTube branch of fedi, and now we have the isolated issue of today…

::1 and the same?

…ok that was a bad pun
