Everything in owner because I don’t understand the implications well enough to do otherwise (so thanks for the thread).

Oh, how gracious of them to allow device owners to exercise their property rights!

Fuck those megalomaniacal technofeudalists sideways with a rusty iron rake. It shouldn’t fucking matter what they want to “allow” because they shouldn’t have the power to impose their will in the first place!

Well, that’s unfortunate re: Jeff, but it’s still weird to me that the other commenter would be aware of that about him (which you mention having to dig through a decade of blog posts and old tweets to find), without at some point also finding out that he’s ‘the Raspberry Pi guy.’

It’s like knowing that Hitler was a vegetarian but somehow not knowing that he was the dictator of Germany who started WWII – it just doesn’t make sense for a fact to be that isolated from its context.

I love that copypasta.

…wat.

I think you must be thinking of some other Jeff Geerling. The one I’m talking about is probably the #1 guy on Youtube for content about ARM stuff, and AFAIK isn’t a homophobe.

Your comment doesn’t make any sense because, even if you were talking about the right person and your accusation were accurate, why would you know some obscure thing about him while being unaware of the thing he’s famous for?

Jeff Geerling is probably having a fit right now.

I think everybody else understood that to be a joke, not a serious misunderstanding of the song’s origin.

called for a Zone of Peace in the Indian ocean, which the U.S. and Britain opposed

They really were Hell-bent on Diego Garcia.

On the other hand, a lot of screenies do poorly at formal English, like grammar, spelling and word choice, because much of their learning is casual.

Gotta read actual books, not just listen to movie/game dialogue. (Short-form news articles and textual social media probably don’t cut it either, just because news is written to be understood even by people with poor reading skills and social media discussions are too casual.)

Instead of having your online accounts registered directly to your @tuta.io address (or your gmail address, or any webmail address), buy a domain name and have the accounts registered to that and then set the DNS to forward all mail from that domain to your webmail account of choice. That way, if the webmail service fucks up, the worst-case scenario is that you change the forwarding again and you’ve only lost the contents of the previous emails sent, not access to receive future ones.

(Caveat: when you send an email it’ll by default be coming from your webmail provider address, not your custom domain address, and I’m not sure how to fix that – I’ve only recently started switching to the scheme myself – but if your main issue is receiving 2FA emails and such that’s not a big deal.)

Obviously, your next print is a replacement tension adjustment pulley thing, as is tradition.

It’s impressive enough that, as a mod in another community, I’ve asked for an explanation instead of banning it immediately.

More like a $600 Damascus steel knife made by another Youtuber that they were given for free, but otherwise this is spot-on.

Oh no, they’re copying our bad habits.

They should make the sequel set in the modern day, with the plot being about the hyperloop scam distracting from California high-speed rail and Elon Musk as the villain.

(For those who didn’t notice, the plot of the original movie was basically the GM streetcar conspiracy, with Judge Doom wanting to demolish LA’s streetcar system, and Toon Town along with it, to build a freeway.)

“Would you like them in a store?
Would you let us build some more?”

“I would not like them in a store.
I will not let you build some more.
I don’t want you to track my van.
I do not like them, Sam-Alt-man!”

I’m disappointed that this didn’t appear in my feed adjacent to the “teaching an octopus to play piano” video for a nice screenshot.

I nominate “octopodusai” to be the new English plural. (Where’d the “a” come from? To make it easier to confuse ‘ai’ with æ because fuck you, that’s why, of course!)
