I sometimes do things with hardware, and sometimes I don't. @cluberti.bsky.social

@JonnyRoot_ @Bijan5Robinson He doesn't have to, but he did - that's a good thing. If you don't see demeaning other people as something someone might want to apologize for, that's fine but understand what that says about you.

@04Renew @KurtSchlichter Don't feed the obvious trolls.

@GrantSlatton Perhaps to do with having a TV on to the same sorts of programming every day when kids are toddlers - this is just a totally uneducated guess, but I suspect there's a comfort value here both in the background noise and the sense of control in knowing what's going to happen.

@lopesfan18 @penelopedidit2 @DataRepublican @Sassafrass_84 You're either a bot or have never had a day a sno-cone couldn't fix, given your naivete on the subject.

[That_Typewriter @CarlLuberti]

@lopesfan18 @DataRepublican @Sassafrass_84 Are you being intentionally daft?

[That_Typewriter @CarlLuberti]

@lopesfan18 @DataRepublican @Sassafrass_84 Murder has an actual definition, and killing another being isn't always murder.

[That_Typewriter @CarlLuberti]

@lopesfan18 @DataRepublican @Sassafrass_84 Human intervention can absolutely take someone who abstains from sex in order to get pregnant, and removes that option for them. Yet, we have states where abortion restrictions do not include exceptions for such things totally, or restrict those exceptions unnecessarily.

@LP_CLC @briannalyman2 It's why he also made sure to put in "excluding Indians not taxed", because they are born within the United States' borders, but are not under US Jurisdiction while on tribal land by treaty. Posts like Breanna's are just engagement and rage-bait farming at the end of the day.

@tannerdripjobs I'm not sure the employee should be paid for the commute to actually *get* the paint, unless the paint is stored somewhere other than where it is going to be used (and thus a commute to the job site after picking up the paint is needed).

[That_Typewriter @CarlLuberti]

@tannerdripjobs Depends on where this is and whether the employee is hourly or not - if this is something they need to do as part of a job, and it isn't done on the clock, that could be wage theft.

@benjijooj @ReflectiveRuby2 @beyond_fps @EERandomness It also relies on people browsing sites with a platform and a browser that identify themselves as such, which is an interesting metric but it could, to be fair, be higher or lower (spoofing browser agent strings is trivial).

[That_Typewriter @CarlLuberti]

@benjijooj @ReflectiveRuby2 @beyond_fps @EERandomness No, I'm pointing out that you're saying something isn't happening because you don't personally see it. If you can't understand that this is anecdotal and a low quality evidentiary point, I can't understand that for you.

[That_Typewriter @CarlLuberti]

@benjijooj @ReflectiveRuby2 @beyond_fps @EERandomness And yet, still anecdotal.

[That_Typewriter @CarlLuberti]

@benjijooj @ReflectiveRuby2 @beyond_fps @EERandomness Ah yes, anecdotal evidence is best evidence.

@T3chFalcon Agreed most VPN companies are using nonexistent threats for most people to sell their services, and most companies advertising such are crap services anyway, but the point remains a good (secure) VPN is better than no VPN. I just wish it was easier to convince normals of this.

[That_Typewriter @CarlLuberti]

@T3chFalcon HTTPS killed that threat (mostly), but anyone watching your traffic can still see where you went, for how long, and many other things that leak information. Still better to use a VPN than not, especially when using public networks (including the one provided by your ISP).

@A51UK @quilnux @nickchapsas And as someone who's used Linux since 1996 and as a daily driver since 2012, it's been since about 2015 or so that I've had to reinstall Linux for any reason other than I wanted to, but to each their own.

[That_Typewriter @CarlLuberti]

@A51UK @nickchapsas Well, that's nonsense, but if Linux isn't for you, feel free to continue paying for alternatives. I'm tired of the trope that updating or making changes breaks Linux any more than it does Windows or MacOS. If computing is that difficult for you, use ChromeOS.

@shanselman I hate to say I've been there, but.... yeah. Hopefully you learned something useful along the way, though :).
