Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.

  • TIL Nintendo coats all of their Switch cartridges with extremely bitter denatonium benzoate to deter children from putting them in their mouths and swallowing them.

  • Clip of Trump calling Harris allies 'scum' and 'garbage' resurfaces

    Jump

  • Well I'm not going to vote for Biden after that "garbage" comment he made. Such violent rhetoric.

  • Is there a sim card buried in there somewhere that can be removed or is it soldered in, potted, etc?

    ... Or your car bricks if you remove it wouldn't surprise me, regardless.

  • Might vary by locale? Around here (South US) it seems like every single store has their own rewards/discount/whatever system that requires your phone number but it's not necessary for the transaction... It's just an extra info grab.

    Sometimes the user facing POS/credit card reader will let you handle it (enter/skip) but many places rely on the salesperson to ask and then enter it or skip.

    But, I also don't get around much so my experience is limited.

  • Same.

    Cashier: "What's your phone number?" (For the store tracking/rewards/whatever)

    Me : "Don't have one!" (As I remove the credit card from the case on the back of myphone)

    Nobody has questioned it once. They don't want to ask in the first place but are forced to.

  • A sorcerer appears and states that they will erase any one song from existence - which song would you choose?

    Jump

  • I'd made it so long without hearing that song until it popped up in Umbrella Academy. Streak ruined.

  • Are there any occupations you uniquely oppose the existence of?

    Jump

  • My daughter is a video editor looking for work and found a site called ytjobs.co Anyone know if it is legit?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I still get spam/scam from back in the day when your phone number, address, and email were all public in the whois and it was regularly scraped for targets.

    I tell everyone to do the privacy guard/redaction.

  • Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?

    Jump

  • Generally speaking, programmers like to program (many do it just for fun), and many dislike review. AI removes the programming from the equation in favour of review.

    This really resonated with me and is an excellent point. I'm going to have to remember that one.

  • Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills

    Jump

  • Slashnet still exists and it's fairly active depending on the channel. #xkcd was bumping last time I checked my client.

  • Philly thief steals a shop-vac filled with hundreds of giant hornets

    Jump

  • Should have put a H on it so everyone would know.

    The sad part is now the thief will get all the hornet honey : /

  • How do server upkeep costs look like for fediverse stuff?

    Jump

  • Wow, such transparency... that's awesome. I wonder (hope) if there will be a massive spike in donations in June.

    /me sets alarm to remind me to donate after work since I keep thinking about it while I'm away.
