@zoeschimke I find it interesting that, in a denomination where we follow a Standard that clearly points out the positive and negative implications of each commandment, some seem to have a hard time recognizing BCO prohibitions unless they're explicitly forbidden. https://t.co/1GUXPEoeZH

@standaloneSA @Apple Not to mention that my M5 MacBook Air has double the RAM, 4X the storage, and cost less than 75% of what they're charging for this.

@gkra @therealDeFlock We've kept our passports in Faraday sleeves since RFID chips were included, but the extent of this is just crazy.

@cmcwain Looks cool. The D-pad and buttons seem a little high, though. But I recently bought a new laptop, and that plus my retro USB Gravis Gamepad Pro (I used to have a 15-pin one on my dorm-room Dell) is filling the gap for me.

@wcf_linux @NPWhite717 Also, single-user-mode client operating systems with little to no security posture. No firewalls, not even any passwords. Late 90s/early 2000s were such a crazy time to be on a college campus.

@jandrusk I can't believe that Privacy Guides site just nonchalantly suggests hosting your own mail server, especially with a guide from 2019. I'm an SMTP engineer for a SaaS company, and I would never trust my own email to self-hosting.

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@jandrusk I have exactly this, but in black. And I bought the longer shelf for the piece on the right side of the corner.

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@sachz Yeah. The lack of dedicated config was just "use the service to set up the service."

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@sachz So... I was connecting to NPMplus over HTTPS on port 81 still, and I was confused that there was no setting to enable a more legit connection. Finally realized... I just needed to set up a "proxy host" for NPMplus to route to itself and serve the necessary certificate. 🤦‍♂️

@jandrusk You've triggered a Presbyterian by not using the word "fewer."

@ChShersh @mvidia84853 The best skill is the ability to develop new skills.

@_BenRatliff I use ReformedApp for this already, but it's really bare-bones. How will your app be different? And can I help?

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@cmcwain Also has features locked behind a subscription Pro version. I'll play around with FOSS RetroArch (which does apparently have a way to hook up to RetroAchievements). Honestly, there are half a dozen SNES games and half a dozen Lynx games I'd just replay over and over.

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@cmcwain I don't usually watch TV shows on my phone. If I had a dedicated media device (where battery capacity wasn't tied to reachability/communication), I might. But I didn't realize RetroArch was on iOS these days... that's an interesting idea.

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@cmcwain Yeah, I'm going for the big screen (as well as the familiar horizontal form factor from my youth). Have you tried GammaOS Full vs Lite? I like the idea of the stripped-down Lite, but I also think it would be cool to be able to use it as a media streamer (Hulu, Prime, Plex).

@brohsnbluffs @cmcwain @RetroHandhelds I'm using desktop Safari & Chrome. There doesn't seem to be a way to get back to the list of devices I've filtered out and add another to the comparison. I can click "Search devices to add to comparison" and search, but I can't see the filtered list to add one.

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@brohsnbluffs @cmcwain @RetroHandhelds On the comparison site, I can't figure out how to actually compare multiple items. When I click a device's "+ Add" button, I immediately see a one-item-only comparison table and don't see the list anymore, so I don't know how to add another.
