Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you're lucky.

  • 644 mile range? But what if I need to drive 650 miles once in a decade? Electric cars are just a stoopid fad.

  • Crackheads versus Palantir Spybox

    What would you do if our civilization regressed to the Neolithic age due to resource depletion due to global collapse?

  • I can cook over a wood fire and teach others the same. I can do carpentry with un-powered hand tools to an acceptable level. I am a pretty decent archer. Hopefully I could find a group of survivors who valued those skills over my delicious flesh.

  • I fucking love this. I mean, I absolutely hate that this is the optimal way to pack 17 squares into a larger square such that the size of the larger square is minimised.

    There's a brain echo in here.

  • What's the point of cookies? Like, on websites and apps.

  • HTTP is a stateless medium.

    Which means a website doesn’t (can’t) remember what you did before on it. Each time you click a link it’s like the first time the website has ever seen you.

    This makes it impossible to ‘sign in’ to a website.

    The way they get around this is by dumping a small piece of code on your computer that says ‘hi website, it’s me and I have a proper account and am logged in’. That’s a cookie. And yes, websites need them to operate any kind of user experience.

    So instead of a page that says ‘who the fuck are you?’ It can now retrieve the info from the cookie and show you the page that says ‘hi, KuromiGirl04, what’s happening? You’re all logged in and can access your account details or carry on from where you were before’.

    Originally cookies could only be created, and then read back, by one website. So, eg, if you logged into your account on foobar.com, only foobar.com could read that cookie back.

    But someone came up with the brilliant idea of third party cookies. So now, if you visit foobar.com you also (if you agree to it) get cookies created by facebork, grabble, aggressive-advertiser, the nra, the nsa, the kkk, and whoever else has convinced foobar.com that they get some value out of the deal.

    That’s where the hundreds of cookies you need to scroll down and deny come from. Mostly advertisers or analytics, or advertisers, web optimisers, or advertisers…. And these third party cookies can be read anywhere by the company that sets them.

    That way, when you visit shoefuckeringfreak.com facebork knows you’ve visited it and suddenly starts showing you sexy, sexy shoes on your facebork feed. And so forth.

  • When I was on Reddit, /r/CasualUK/ was my spiritual home, so moving to Feddit UK, home of !casualuk@feddit.uk, was a no brainer.

  • There's a human need to make some kind of impact on others. Some people do it by building up - posting positivity, or creating art, or whatever. Others do it by tearing down - posting insults, or vandalism, and so on.

    The negative path is much, much easier.

  • I have an HP printer. The HP app on my laptop used to be able to scan documents and so on. Last time I opened it, the only way to use this was to scan my document into the HP Cloud and then download it from there. Fuck. That. Shit.

    Fortunately my PDF reader can initiate the scan directly, so I'll be just deleting that HP app.
