If I don't agree, I cannot use the TV that was ALREADY PURCHASED UNDER A DIFFERENT AGREEMENT!

And I just read some of it. I don't agree.
I want my money back. The TV we bought did not have this forced agreement.

That's it! I'm fucking done. My next "TV" is just going to be a monitor. I don't want anymore smarts in what's just being used as a display

A pop up. "We've made an important update" "We've updayed our Dispute Resolution Terms. Select 'Agree' to agree to these updated Terms and to continue enjoying our products and services."

@hellomiakoda

Why do I sense a back to basics movement? Today, a monitor and a NUC suffice. A tuner would be fine for broadcast.

@newtsoda
The fact that sticking to one's morals and ethics is considered a "symptom" makes me generally distrusting of "normal people".

I'd rather die than sacrifice my ethics,
and my ethics are always open to being updated whenever I get newer and more accurate information.
Never perfect, but hopefully even better than yesterday.

Even at my most self-hating, it's something about myself I've always been kinda proud of.

Interestingly, I've been in a situation that basically mirrors that comic.
I was offered money for someone's private info by people intent on finding and hurting that person. I was homeless, and desperate. I refused the offer. They doubled it, and again I said no.
They raised it again, to a level that would have gotten me out of my unsafe situation.
No!

It's something I try to think about whenever I'm feeling worthless.

That who "iT's GnU+lInUx" crap drives me nuts.
We all know its Gnu unless it isn't. Nobody cares to announce the Gnu part.
Like, FFS.

Ah #Linux, the problem solving OS!
So I connected to tailscale in attempts to use sshfs with my primary laptop back home. I even left that laptop running with sleep disabled. Oh no, I forget to start tailscale on it. So, I used another machine on my network to shh to that laptop and start tailscale. I could've used that same machine to sshfs with the laptop via routes, but that machine is slower, and is busy, so sshfs directly with the target machine is much better.

You're not going to convince me Windows is better while I have access to my primary machine's 4 drives from some random food cart I found AND using this same connection as my VPN that I don't need to pay for. Sorry, Windows sucks ass. Maybe it CAN do this, but not easily enough that I've bothered to find it.

People who are pro-capitalism aren't swayed by the suffering of others. So how about a big thread on a bunch of "1st world" ways capitalism has fucked you!

I was downright careless with my old Nokia, and it never failed. I kept it a long time too.
Capitalism has convinced you you need a new, thin, expensive, fragile smartphone every 2 to 4 years. You didn't break your old one, miraculously. So why is it a slow piece of shit now? Did you change what you do on your phone all that much in 2 to 4 years? Aren't you still just messaging and scrolling social media?
