Nerd, truck driver, and kinda creeped that you’re reading this.

bdonvr,

I only ever boot Windows for VR. That’s it

bdonvr,

What on earth are you on about? You’re completely in control of updates and you can enable the root account and do whatever you want. It’s still UNIX.

Are you talking about iOS/iPadOS? macOS is nothing like this and I have no idea what you’re on about.

bdonvr, (edited )

They update Macs for a good 8 years or so, which isn’t that bad really. Then you can often just install newer versions with community tools after that.

Edit: I haven’t had one in a few years, apparently that’s not quite true recently as they’re trying to drop x86 support and move everything to ARM

bdonvr,

There’s an app for that, Fog of World.

Here’s my map.

bdonvr,

Correct. Most of it took a year and a half before I got a job that keeps me home every night. Hit all 48 contiguous states except Vermont (I tried to avoid the northeast whenever possible)

bdonvr, (edited )

More traffic, and way less truck parking. If you’re not shut down by 4pm forget about it.

Out west I got longer loads, better views, and always somewhere to park outside of the cities. Midwest is okay but a bit boring, southeast isn’t much better than northeast.

bdonvr,

Nah on this app you actually back up the data yourself by hooking into one of your personal cloud storage accounts

bdonvr,

What app?

bdonvr, (edited )

Sure, but neither are self hosted media servers, and if you can afford/run the one you can afford/run the other. Domain names are cheap as dirt and aren’t all that complicated for anyone running a home server.

Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?

I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in...

bdonvr,

I always found having each OS have a separate physical drive is much better, but partitioning is fine if you must.

bdonvr,

It’s a luxury indeed. Hopefully maybe a little less now that decent storage has come down in price a lot

bdonvr,

The best part is their autocorrect changed it to “should have”, so they said something like “should have is just as correct as should have”

bdonvr,

Am not a statistician, but my understanding is predicting single events are pretty hard.

Predicting the percentage outcomes of a lot of events? That can be done.

bdonvr,

I don’t think you normally ever come out of the coma though

bdonvr,

Eh, it’s possible certainly but generally has a low survival rate.

bdonvr,

It’s not a stack. Two players are playing, the +4 also skips the turn of the player it affects. The person who played the +4 is then allowed to play any valid card such as a +4 wild.

bdonvr,

the man got hella c h e e k s

bdonvr,

Beating the ultra wealthy with a rock is entertaining, if not funny.

bdonvr,

I just check every few hours instead of doomscrolling. It’d be nice to have more content and more active niche communities, but somehow I think this is better for me lmao. Anyways it feels cozier but not on the decline imo

can I be a Free Software advocate but still use non-free software??

I’m asking this because one time, while browsing the GNU website, I noticed that some of the members’ emails had “gmail” on them!! And I asked myself how would that be possible?? And I think other members of the FSF had Gmail too. Why? Richard Stallman is against Gmail, so why would those memberse use it?? Would that...

bdonvr,

At best all your sent mail goes to junk, at worst it is just blocked altogether.

Convincing the popular small services to not mark new mail services as junk is extremely difficult

bdonvr, (edited )

Ah that’s still totally possible, I do that.

The domain isn’t all that important, the IP address of the mail server is. I pay an external service that provides a mail server, and my DNS records point to that.

But hosting my own mail server, while possible is not recommended.

bdonvr,

I don’t keep too many tabs open on desktop unless I’m researching something. But on mobile it’s just too easy to ignore. I’ve hit 1000 tabs a few times. It opens a new tab every time I click a link in an app. I don’t see the tabs unless I really want to. So I forget.

bdonvr,

Why would you want to use some Google-coded, bigoted-ceo, crypto-pushing, link hijacking POS like Brave?

bdonvr,

This is unacceptable.

bdonvr,

Yes, though that didn’t happen until a few years back.
