As per usual, the explanation is corporate shitfuckery.

Video explanation

tl;dr the company Taylor manufactures the ice cream machines to fail without any explanation or diagnosis process, then charge wildly exorbitant fees to fix them, and cut McD’s in on the profit. Some franchises found ways around this and McD’s just ordered them to stop. So the franchises just leave them broken as often as possible.

Biggest benefit of those things is that they come with SATA ports so you can use them to build a <$100 2-bay NAS which is about half the price of popular competitors but with way more power.

I’m not moving the goal posts, you just ignored one of them.

Not a good idea to use your own domain. Use Proton Pass with domains you share with all the other users.

Not helpful, thanks.

Not really going to justify my usage but suffice it to say my business is largely dependent on networking with the people who are active on social media.

Twitter and Reddit I am “read only” via Stealth and Squawker.

Use anything you want

This is literally never helpful advice.

There is no “religious cult”. Just users who want a better experience.

Okay well. I don’t have a script. I just use a computer.

If I need a script to make it work properly, it sucks.

They still put unremovable ads in your inbox when you buy premium. They’re fairly subtle but still incredibly frustrating.

I recently discovered AntennaPod can be used as a PeerTube client as well.

Although I don’t like them them mixed in with my podcasts so I cloned the app and just have one that I use separately.

They don’t spy on you without your permission.

You should probably edit your comment to clarify that they don’t listen to you.

“Spying” doesn’t really have a clear definition in this context. Amazon employees have been caught spying on customers through their cameras, and giving away clips to authorities without “owners’” consent, consult or notification.

Switching to Debian on my gaming pc

Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch. I am relatively comfortable with Debian having used it for a while on my web server as well as school laptop, but I am concerned about using it on my...

There are some gaming focused OS’s such as Nobara (Fedora) and also that are “couch gaming” OSs that incorporate controller-only UIs such as ChimeraOS (Arch) and Bazzite (Fedora).

I don’t really like tablets in the first place. Don’t understand what they’re for that laptops can’t already do.

But aside from that, the problem is not hardware, it’s the OS. Android, iOS and iPad OS are all distinctly very different from their desktop counterparts, with respect to how you interact with the device. Linux needs the same.

only ever used windows, but I’m getting fed up with the bullshit

Well that’s why I switched 🤷

Drove me fucking insane that I couldn’t uninstall Edge. Tried a few times but it always reinstalled itself. It’s just the audacity to say “no fuck you” to the person who is giving you money. Can’t disable Cortana, can’t disable all the XBOX bullshit, not to mention it’s just becoming more and more like Android where the entire OS becomes dedicated to collecting your data. Linux has none of that, and that’s enough for me.

I’m also nervous about using an OS I’m not familiar with for business purposes right away.

Couple of solutions for this:

  1. Dual boot. When you have a hard time, just restart and boot into Windows.
  2. You can’t transfer storage across OS so make sure to use cloud storage for your work files.

Great, let me just whip out my computer science degree to figure out how the fuck to even do that.

PiHole just blocks the DNS. Facebook serves ads from their own DNS so it’s not possible to block them in that way. Same with YouTube, I believe.

But if they click it, it usually ports you through a tracker link so they can track your clicks, and that’s easy enough to block.

Yes but Google banned them from the extension store so if you’re using Chromium you need to sideload it.

It’s 8 o’clock and this website has no dark mode. No thanks.
