90% of people aren’t worth the time

  • I haven’t written many utility scripts/programs in a while but my apartment is fully automated with temperature, humidity, light, presence and door sensors.

    We like to keep our screen doors open when the weather is nice so I have things like fans, heating, air conditioning automated but set to turn off when a door(s) is open.

    The outdoor lights are also automated but I have them turn green/blue when it’s foggy or rainy and they turn red when there is aircraft above.

    Before smartphones started using random MAC addresses on WiFi I also automated some things depending which guests we had over, but I haven’t done that in a long time.

  • I think it’s a pipe dream but I would absolutely love it if we (in California) left the US. I’m tired of paying insanely high federal taxes so loser states like Louisiana can take it all and not govern. Fuck that.

  • College students with sports cars: I assume they’ll be in debt forever.

  • Some crack den in Coalinga, CA when a friend and I were trying to meet halfway between Sacramento and Los Angeles on the 5 Fwy. His car had broken down so we were forced to stay there one night; it happened to be Halloween so the town was a little wild but our hotel was full of bugs, drugs and other fun surprises.

  • I think it depends. I’ve noticed in newer developments that yes, they’ll only deliver to names of known recipients.

    But I’ve also lived in old-ass places most of my life and I can’t get them to stop delivering mail for someone who hasn’t lived here in 5+ years.

  • I think this to myself sometimes too but then I realize some other shit stain will take his place.

  • When I need to know something it’s easier to just search and quickly read through stuff rather than sitting through some long-winded, sponsored rambling.

  • Something tells me this isn’t rooted in any sort of facts.

  • It’s really quite embarrassing what these people do when they’re drunk on power.

    Today I felt I was extremely productive at work—imagine sitting around all day dreaming up this elementary school bullshit.

  • And the sad part is that’s after the Signal leaks.

  • This is an awesome tip. As a web designer that also blocks third party everything, I like to bundle fonts as part of my assets instead of relying on a CDN.

  • Then why confirm her in the first place? Fucking hypocrites.

  • I blocked all Google-owned domains quite some time ago. I never really understood the draw to YouTube.

  • Are people still using YouTube? Each day it’s more problems, more ads, more bullshit. It’s time to move on.

  • I remember Compaq had a commercial game pack that you were supposed to call in to pay for, but the password was just 11111111.

  • Well I asked in Linux communities all around the internet and got no help there, so maybe ChatGPT was more helpful than all the randos with an attitude problem.

  • Lode Runner: The Legend Returns was a game that came preinstalled by Compaq on Windows 95. Around age five I found the game captivating, and the level editor was fantastic for my brother and I.

  • I recently gave up on ARM because I couldn’t figure out how to build Alpine Linux for a nanoPi R6S despite spending hours with ChatGPT, talking to someone in India, etc. It’s kind of depressing because I love my Raspberry Pi and a ton of other ARM devices, but I guess you need to be a total neck beard to get it working.

  • I’d also throw in random caps. I’m not sure why random words (not proper nouns) are always randomly capitalized in the middle of sentences.
