We are living in the state of Fuck it.

pretty much sums it all up right there.

i don’t deep dive into it enough to be a ‘nerd’, but i’ve been using some form or another since the early days of slack and debian.

even though it had shipped with windows, the installer would not detect my ssd for whatever reason.

bios probably defaulted to using a storage mode (like ‘raid’ or intel’s rst) that requires ‘f6’ drivers loaded during windows setup. solution would have been to either find those drivers or switch bios to ‘normal’ ahci mode.

‘work’ just replaced ‘school’. same restrictions usually apply, just with the “i’m an adult” modifier that lets you deviate with some degree of risk to your paycheck.

so, you’re logged in, have a purchase history that includes clothing, and azn is trying to make a sizing recommendation?

and you could change him into something else. links the cat was mine.

$65 for 4tb? they’re almost certainly fake crap. just got done giving someone the bad news on some similarly-priced sd and ssd they bought off ebay.

real-life clickwrap.

‘kindly recite the full text of the terms of service before i choose whether push the button or punch your face’

captive portal detection, certificate status verification, and iirc server settings updates. yes. none of them are ‘absolutely required’ but they do exist to improve the reliability and secure operation of the program–and none are secret nasty spying telemetry. just turn those particular settings off as desired.

i nuked my post history and haven’t logged-in to ‘that site’ in about two years. there is one sub i lurk in occasionally that hasn’t gained any traction on the lemmy equivalent. that’s it other than the (relatively infrequent) pointer to a post from a web search for which no other alternative was listed.

the only way that fucking idiot should get one is if he jumped into a wood chipper and amid the global celebration, a sustainable peace broke out.

me neither. best is a 1070. don’t play newer ‘demanding’ games, nor do i have a system ‘worthy’ of a better card anyway.

there is mv3 version of ubo here:
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home

dunno how well it works on yt, though. i use dlp on a pc for the time or two a month i ‘need to’ look at a yt vid.

adguard’s free browser extension is also mv3 compliant (for chrome). i think the old adblockplus (disable ‘acceptable ads’ and ignore offer to ‘upgrade’ to a paid version) is, too.

donvict’s goon squad is trying to start something that they’ll then turn around and blame ‘protesters’ as they mow 'em all down and haul away those who survive.

anything that comes in a box.

that’s been done before. maybe next time a different nearby building of a similar color could be chosen.

he’s got what he wants… a wrecked government with crippled enforcement capacity of certain things, tax breaks in the pipeline, and all of our data to match with all of his data.

more than one place i’ve lived at had a busy road be the ‘line’ separating bus vs walk to school. where i am now some literally get bussed across the road and then another block to the school, while some who live up to a mile away on the ‘same side’ of that road as the school get to walk.

i can’t afford to be choosy, it’s whatever i got. whatever was on sale. whatever generic or store brand is cheapest. never jelly, though, unless it’s homemade. always jam or preserves. right now it’s from aldi with bread from the regional gas station chain.

but i will not ever again use walmart ‘great value’ peanut butter. the ‘new’ recipe introduced in the last year (along with the new ‘smaller’ 16oz jar that is really just the same exact size jar as the 18oz jar, just filled less) is worse-than-dollar-store trash.

2016, too. literally a convicted felon 34 times over from efforts to illegally influence that election.
