“We’re gonna need some more buttons in here.”

I found that I can’t convince google assistant (via bluetooth headset) to find my phone unless my phone is unlocked. The only workaround I’ve found is to set a 1-second timer.

So, they left a bucket of water to stagnate next to a bus stop?

One of the first things I turn off on every new device

I would love to turn it off on everything, but on-screen keyboards are almost entirely useless without it.

I miss my SGH-T699 “Relay”, and its 5-row slider. It’s the only phone I’ve bought more than once; I wore out three of them.

Work pc so I can’t just change to linux unfortunately

WSL?

Online shopping is a fucking waste and every day we have dozens of shipping companies coming to the city with their vans to drive through each street bringing small packages to every apartment. Polluting, blocking streets, increasing traffic. Just because we are too lazy to go to a shop and buy it in person.

So It’s morally superior for me to be the one driving to the shop, polluting, blocking streets, increasing traffic, taking up a parking spaces?

There’s 20 families on my block. If the 20 of us got together and agreed that only one of us should drive to the store every day, picking up everything that we collectively needed and distributing it to us, you’d be praising us for reducing our impact.

Real printers used real paper…

I would say that the software side all qualifies. You’re setting up the full software stack; that’s definitely self-“something”.

I, personally, would only consider it “self hosting” if I can take a sledge hammer to the bare metal without getting arrested.

But, I acknowledge that is an arbitrary, puritanical distinction. I don’t look down on VPS; they have specific pros and cons, and I use them myself. I just think that “self hosting” includes hardware factors, not just the software.

Imagine if Mr. “Occupy Mars” ends up being the guy to trap us here on Earth forever by clogging up space.

The starlink satellites orbit far too low for that to happen. Without expelling limited propellants to periodically boost their orbits, every satellite in the constellation will fall to earth in less than 10 years, most in less than 1.

Actually, they said they sounded like a fucking moron. And they do they do: there is no actual legitimacy to their claim. They are repeating a horseshit corpo claim without applying any sort of critical thought to it. Which can be reasonably considered “fucking moronic”.

The best time to leave Pinterest was 2010.

The second best time is now.

Which wouldn’t be so bad if they actually had shit that people wanted to buy. But all the guillotine shops are out of stock, with expected ship dates after December 4th.

Prime is garbage. Even if it’s free on Prime, I hoist a sail.

I left a trade job after we got a new division manager with a background in sales. Despite the entire staff being on 20hr/week mandatory overtime, dipshit was holding 3x daily 30 minute shift meetings, and monthly 90-minute all-hands meetings to complain about productivity.

Two months after I left, corporate shitcanned the asshole.

If the US reestablishes the 91% top-tier tax bracket we had for most of the 20th century, the rest of the world will quickly follow.

Nobody will be in that bracket; they will take great efforts raise their tax deductible “expenses” (or reduce their revenue) in order to avoid it.

Insanity is expecting the system to work in a way other than the way it actually works.

By the way, I did discover that EU labeling does include a “% RI” for sugar, which is functionality identical to the “recommendation” you were complaining about as being illegal.

It is mandatory for the manufacturer to make an affirmative claim as to the cholesterol and trans fat content (along with several other items) of every food product sold in the US. The manufacturer is only liable for what they actually claim; this labeling standard forces them to make certain claims.

With the labeling you describe of the EU, I could look at every item in my pantry and refrigerator, and not realize that my diet is entirely missing any source of vitamin D, for example. If nothing in any of my labels even mentions vitamin D, I might not even realize it is something I should be looking for in my diet.

When every single item in my diet affirmatively claims “Not a significant source of vitamin D”, it’s a big clue that I’m not eating right.

There is a distinct difference in liability between “accidentally” forgetting to include the sodium content of a product, and affirmatively claiming it has no significant amount of sodium.

When I’m on a low sodium diet and a soy sauce manufacturer fails to list its sodium content on the label, I bear a large part of the responsibility. It is common knowledge that soy sauce is usually extremely high in salt, so I can’t reasonably claim their mislabeling was the cause of any harm I experience. But, if they were to affirmatively claim “not a significant source of sodium”, I’ll own their asses.

Mandating claims of these specific, important nutrients certainly does add meaningful information.

Anything that’s marked NSFW requires a login on Reddit.

The listed items are all mandatory parts of all labels. Everything inside that box is required, in that format. “Nutrition Facts” boxes are highly regulated. Remove those statements, and this label is no longer legally compliant.

You’ll note that “good” content (dietary fiber, vitamin d, calcium, iron, and potassium) are also listed, even though this product does not contain them.

Because all of these items are mandated to be present inside this box on all products, there is no implication that another product may or may not contain these items.

The content of that box is not considered “advertisement”. It’s just a simple, consistent, statement of facts.
