Yeah, as if finding FOSS alternatives to mega-corp software wasn't hard enough, now i have to care about the politics of a sponsor's co-sponsor's ceo's husband's dog's groomer before I install? Pass

For the record, i literally said "if the math works out" 😁

I kinda compare it to semi truck weigh stations. I found out some time ago that if the math works out that a truck got from one weigh station to another too fast the driver can get a speeding ticket since its assumed they broke the law getting there. Apply that to money. If a person accumulates too much money, it should just be assumed that person broke laws getting it and they should be severly fined (like, most of it).

What year is it? Hasn't this been general geek knowledge for over a decade?

You see a small, loud subset of USAmericans on the web so I understand how you could think that we're all "super hyped on patriotism" but the fact is that most of us just wake up, do normal human things then go to bed. This over-generalization of huge populations of people is making me tired.

He is known for disrupting several international events, such as Katy Perry’s Sydney concert in June and the men’s 100m final at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

I resent that the cost to the car company to install seat warmers is the actual installation of the seat warmers. Running them costs ME money in electricity generated by gasoline I bought. It costs them nothing to run them but i have to pay a subscription to use them on top of paying to power them?

The football grandstand continues to cost the owners in maintenance and space that they own. You pay for the privilege of using something that is not yours. I bought my car, I shouldn't have to continue to pay for the privilege of using something I already own since the equipment is already there and doesn't require any interaction with a remote service that would make sense to charge for (navigation, satellite radio, etc...)

My entire setup uses less than 100W at idle. That includes:

  • Custom ITX N150 NAS (4 HDD)
  • Wireless router
  • Switch
  • Modem

No, the whole point is for them to know, to understand that they did this to themselves
