I hope there are security tapes.

I think there’s a time between “This thing is possible I guess” and “you’re already fucked” that I’d like to hear about things.

Spirit outsources the slap to whoever is sitting in seat 1C.

And ebaum’s world. And rotten. And something awful.

I never put that together with wardriving but that’s exactly what it is. Thank you for that.

Unrelated story: ~20 years ago I was in the military and broke as hell. I went wardriving in my neighborhood looking for open wifi and found a business not too far away that had it. So I built an antenna out of a coffee can, mounted it up just outside my window, and got free wifi for months.

It’s a Patrón thing. I’d be having more fun than anyone else if I were hammered right now.

There’s another reply further down that goes into specifics. I ain’t the one because I didn’t come with receipts and I’m just a drunk.

I wish I could go back in time to warn myself not to read this. The memory of receiving those (and other awful shit) is indelibly marked in my brain.

I do not know how true it is, but I’ve heard that some of them will create a mesh network if your neighbor has the same brand and it’s connected to the internet.

I’ve always meant to look into it but I have big dumb TVs that work for now.

It does. There are some upsides, though. One bonus is that, at least in some small ways, some of these shitbag companies that have acted terribly in the past are letting up because we have options. We don’t have to rely on a couple of big studios for every game we play. So EA has backed off of their terrible launcher.

I also think it’s kind of cool that any schmuck can make their dream come true. I’ve definitely put out a bunch of music that I don’t market, just because I always wanted to do it. Anyone with an idea and a laptop can code up a game. The ridiculous amount of shovelware aside, I think that’s pretty cool.

I just wish there was a better way to sift through the dreck to find the good stuff.

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by plain old dumbfuckery. These podunk inbreds may do it for kicks (some of them are definitely malicious enough), but I think it’s pretty likely that they got someone named Cooter to do the final installation.

This information is brought to you by a drunk that looks like he could be named Cooter. Or possibly Cletus.

Fred Rogers was a great Christian.

It’s just Shatner, isn’t it? Except even he doesn’t really speak it even though he was in a movie that was entirely Esperanto.

I will be the first to tell you that nothing I’ve ever put out could be considered useful or beneficial. Generally it’s just vaguely funny but also kind of sad. At its best it’s entertaining on the right combination of drugs.

That was my exact thought. Discount sound production gear is my jam but damn, anything I created with it would be forever stained.

The masses aren’t ready yet. Hell, I’m a technical person and can’t figure out for the life of me why the mastodon instance I’m on can see some things from another instance but not other things. To see the things I want on pixelfed I’ve got to have multiple accounts on multiple servers.

I obviously like the fediverse. I’m here on multiple services. But let’s not pretend that any idiot can figure out which instance to sign up for and just automatically see all the things they want to see and talk to all the people they want to talk to.

Leela: We’ve petitioned the governor. But he doesn’t want to appear soft on people who’ve been falsely imprisoned.

She’s got a golden ticket, she gave a golden shower to his face.

If the government shuts down right before the election it would be a bloodbath for Republicans. I’m sure turtle head took Johnson aside for a little come to Jesus meeting about how the world really works. They already tried a bullshit hail Mary that didn’t work.

So they kick it out to December so that the House can theoretically create a clean budget for the next administration.
