Who are all these people waking up at a fixed time on the clock on a Sunday morning? Some people have to work of course but me working a weekday 9-5, my wake up times on the weekend can vary a huge amount.

Yep, the “standard” time should definitely be what we currently call daylight saving.

Jellyfin was more work on my end so that family could connect with https, but for me to set them up it’s literally just “here is the URL, login, and password.”

Mint is ubuntu with the icky stuff removed and given an extra layer of polish. Still loving it here.

I used several when first starting out here, but kept coming back to voyager.

He will be under house arrest and will be allowed to stay within any home, car, or aircraft that he owns.

Lifelong USer here, and the people who are the most vocal about that stuff while not acting on it are very much like the people who are most vocal about their christianity while being scumbags. It's often the same people, honestly.

Every developer I've met who uses Windows always had a tongue in cheek sort of "well it kind of sucks in some ways but it's what I'm used to, one day maybe I'll get off my ass and change OS".

This used to be me, kind of. I've been an engineer for over 20 years, with the last couple being full time "developer."

But I finally made that switch at work over a year ago (booting into Linux instead of using a VM) and at home a few months ago. This probably goes without saying, but I am never going back! It's one thing to know there are options out there that people like you prefer, but it's another entirely to get used to the better option then try the enshittified one again.

No worries. I’m glad I explained it then!

The first thing that comes to mind for popular media using “no notes” the way I did is probably John Oliver. I spent 10 seconds stacking for a clip or a montage of him saying it but came up empty.

The way I edited the quote, it was just a like joke about braking vs breaking.

Like I could make a pedantic reply about spelling, but no teslas in fact brake unexpectedly AND break unexpectedly. So, no notes!

And Tesla is infamous … for breaking without reason.

No notes!

You know that Carlin joke people like to reference that says to imagine how dumb the average person is and that half the people are dumber? Well apply that again and take the bottom half of the bottom half. Then sprinkle some of our anti-intellectual, anti-science, anti-education, proud avarice and ignorance culture on top.
