I am obligated to comment on this due to my profile picture. 💜

That’s me!

It pisses me off that you gotta pay so much money to look at the official ISO 8601.

Fuck HDCP.

Did you ever use Atom?

I used to had linux mint in an old computer and for some reason the wifi didn’t work.

To me this implies it isn’t their primary computer. It’s not “manipulating and humiliating” someone else. It’s just saying, “you’ve been saying you’d fix this but it hasn’t worked, I need to use this computer for something.”

And no need to feel sorry for my wife. We’ve been together over half our lives, married for over a decade, and extremely happy with each other. My wife has done things like this to me. It’s not toxic or manipulative. Sometimes I overestimate my own skills and/or get distracted with other things.

Why? Imagine your house’s door doesn’t work so you have to make a long trip through the back. You keep asking your partner to fix it. They insist they’ll get the door working. Either they can’t or don’t, doesn’t matter, but you have the money and are willing to pay for someone to fix it. Your partner insists they can fix it. I think it’s reasonable to say something like “if it’s not fixed in two weeks I’m paying someone to fix it.”

It does do some static stuff but I don’t know if you’d be able to feel that from another room.

CRT TVs have a very iconic high pitched noise. It’s somewhat similar to the sound of tinnitus. Combine that with some people not being able to hear those high pitched noises very well (especially as they age) it makes sense that you may have been able to hear them but not really consciously be aware of it.

I have empathy. I am not trolling. Just having a discussion online. Tone doesn’t always come across well oger text. Just thought it was important to share that I really really don’t think people who say things like this are saying empathy is bad.

And I’ve met plenty of people who can pick up on people’s moods and know that people who mock others’ misfortunes are cruel without calling themselves empaths.

For what it’s worth, that’s essentially how Wikipedia describes it:

Empath (/ˈɛmpæθ/; from Ancient Greek ἐμπάθεια (empátheia) ‘passion’) is a term for people who are claimed to have a higher than usual level of empathy.

In parapsychology, the mechanism for being an empath is said to be psychic channeling; psychics and mediums say that they channel the emotional states and experiences of other living beings, or the spirits of dead people, in the form of “emotional resonance.” Studies of such claims have found them to be the result of mundane empathy and charisma, with no actual supernatural capabilities involved.

And I’m saying that’s not what I typically think people mean when they say they’re an empath. I mean they mean something more than that.

It’s so infuriating to me that there isn’t a way to just encrypt traffic without verifying it’s part of a chain. By all means, give a nag warning in browsers, but ugh, I think that ship has long since sailed. Plus, realistically, you’d need just as many scary warnings to deter the average user that they might be getting MITMed.

It’s always been my understanding that the term empath implies some sort of higher sense that not everyone is capable of. Similar to some extra sensory ability. Though I may be incorrect. I’ve never read anything jabbing at “empaths” as jabs at empathy as a concept.

Edit: Phone autocorrected “empaths” to “empathy”, oops.

Can you not issue your own certificate? I guess it depends on how many devices and what types of devices need to connect. It’s be a one time effort per device (importing your own self signed cert) versus one time effort per service per X days.

If the community moderator acts in it before instance admins see it then they don’t see it, right?

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

It’s like, I get the idea of saying “this user is searching for a program they don’t have, let’s link to it” but then they’re like “oh what if we searched for everything?” and then someone else is was like “And what if we put ads in to monetize it!” Then that last person probably got a bonus.

Don’t forget the child labor aspect. https://www.theguardian.com/games/2022/jan/09/the-trouble-with-roblox-the-video-game-empire-built-on-child-labour
