Health!

Nah, you burned that bridge, Sony. I’m not coming back.

We lived in a house with a bunch of roommates when we got our dog, and at some point “fuck off” became “go lie down on your bed and get outta my space”… So now if “go lie down” isn’t taking, then “fuck off” works…

I will check out self hosting searxng

Ah man, same. Thought I’d give it a go after reading about if from Cory…

Honestly, for what I search for, DDG is sufficient, and it’s not gonna hassle me about subscriptions.

What I’d really like to find is something like a pihole for search, where you have your blocklist, cache of things you’ve searched already (your own mini search engine?), and then a fallback engine (DDG, bing, Google, whatever) for things it doesn’t already know.

I dunno. Search and AI botshit is everywhere, and it’s gonna keep getting worse. Self-hosting tools seems to be the only way to take control back.

Feels good to finally be part of the 1%

I wish android natively has a roll back option to un-update apps… But that would be too user-friendly, I suppose.

Yeah, we call it “ruby” for red, “sapphire” for not-red, and more generally “corundum”

And then you open it to find an off-putting empty shelf with a half opened sandwich from the other side of the store…

Yeah

Forgot to mention: controls that don’t suck

You might also ask nicely for folks to send you theirs. Especially since Nintendo is going after Yuzu, I’m sure there’s plenty of folks that would volunteer keys via DM just to stick it to Nintendo…

I’m also in the “my USB Xbox 360 controller is great” camp and wish that they still made them

Just try not to get fakes that are just the normal garbage with drift

Do you want first person factory or third person factory?

Do itttt It’s a great game to lose a few (dozen) hours to

From everything I’ve heard about running a reliable and trustworthy email service, it sounds like a fucking nightmare. I’m glad to pay something like proton to handle it for me.

I didn’t know those existed… but I kinda hate that they do. Can the Garmin radar delete a car that’s about to hit me?

But really, for $300+ it should also photograph the license plate of the car that hits you and automatically SOS when it detects an impact.

I mean, doesn’t that sound like a ridiculous product that shouldn’t need to exist?

I disagree with the premise that it’s the responsibility of the cyclist or pedestrian to avoid being murdered by a 2-ton vehicle. Having something like the Garmin radar on your bicycle seems like yet another thing that would make it EASIER for a driver to argue that it’s the cyclist’s fault in an accident, right? “They had a radar, it’s not my fault they were in my way!” Just like the “it’s their fault they’re dead because they weren’t wearing a helmet!” Argument.

In the worst timeline I could see a municipality trying to require these on ebikes for “safety” while in effect making non-equipped bikes illegal to ride. Which would be great for the car companies.

I wish my town (typical mid-size USA) was safer for bicycling. I’d actually get my bike out and use it for short trips for beer or whatever.

For now I walk or drive and I feel shitty every time I drive short distances

Yep, and if it becomes a frequent request, add clarification to the readme / wiki / documentation.

Also, if you push folks towards issues, then they become indexable by search engines! So even if you have a solved problem you can at least find that… Discord? It’s a black hole.
