So Trump’s going to skyrocket inflation and debt again? Like he did last time and that this administration is finally in the late stages of cleaning up?

This happens basically any time a Republican president is elected. They shit all over the economy, tank it and finally when Democrats clean everything up these morons cry “I was better off under the guy that fucked up everything.”

I keep seeing everywhere that voters voted on the economy, yet no one seems to be pointing out the exhausting, blatantly obvious truth. It’s been happening for what, 20+ years now?

Republicans make a mess, Democrats are always forced to clean it up. So pardon me if I think the voters are idiots.

I still love tech but only because I realize that it can actually empower us. The dark patterns that corporations use (for me personally and especially when it comes to customer service) are what ruin it, but maybe I’m still naïve.

I actually still crack up whenever I see unhinged.

Mine is till instead of ’til to mean until and a in “two times a year” instead of per. I still say “two times a year” myself but when writing it looks so unprofessional and I always notice it in news publications.

I don’t why but the fact this is on YouTube seems hypocritical but I can’t put my finger on it.

I work from home, love my job and make a great salary. I also have ~10 years of food service experience and would prefer to go back to that than to hear my office-working coworkers complain about the same shit I hear in the monthly meetings every day.

I don’t know, I still see a lot of people not knowing this. I’ve seen iPhone users get confused when I use Safari to go to a website rather than the Google app on their phone.

It’s really a shame because you just know that that Google app is just spyware.

I think it’s a CSS issue. Word wrapping won’t break apart the amount because it’s considered one “word.”

There are ways to address it though.

Just moving the 3 over makes this obvious: 77 + 3 = 80. Taking the zero off both 80 and the remaining 30, you get 8 + 3 which is so obviously not 10, therefore not 100.

Why?

77 + 3 = 80
80 + 30 = 110

I don’t understand why it’s upsetting:

500 ÷ 2 = 250
50 ÷ 2 = 25
250 + 25 = 275

While working in fast food working as a manager I had a store manager that would cuss you out, but one thing I loved about her is I would cuss back and explain myself to which she’d be like “oh, that makes sense.”

Their app was so futuristic on the original iPhone, then it went to shit pretty quick. It looks/behaves like an unmaintained Ruby on Rails 3.1 app.

I’d totally check it out but I have 100% of Google blocked. 💀

I don’t think I’d make that information public were I in their shoes. Wouldn’t that be a hint for anyone attempting to crack them?

I’m explaining why I’m a programmer for some context why I’m interested in technology, not to argue that all programmers hate gaming.

I was replying against the smug “you must’ve been born in the 2000s” comment. I’m arguing that not everyone is into gaming just because this is a technology community, and to maybe drop the attitude because someone isn’t cOoL like them because they were born earlier. 🙄

You cut out your eyes for fun?

I noticed you linked to a news source and it reminds me how close to impossible it is find information directly from the government unless you’re wiling to go to some homepage and click 16 trillion times, and hopefully you’re blocking third-party scripts because for some reason AdSense is loaded on every fucking page.

If you already have an account, after login there will be like 16 alerts (“flash” alerts in Ruby on Rails speak) and if you’re lucky maybe one is relevant to you.

I was born in the late 1980s, can I know what it is?

Edit: Looks like a game. Are we assuming everyone in a technology community cares about video games? I’m a programmer but can’t get into video games at all.

I think the part you’re missing (and others haven’t addressed) is that you don’t send 100% of your traffic to one endpoint (much like how most use VPNs). You can route different things to different places.

For example, I’m in the US and have two Tailscale exit nodes. Both are located on VPS machines in the US, but one sends traffic down a double-hop VPN back out into the US, the other does the same but to Switzerland. My “default” route is through Switzerland (better privacy laws) but I am forced to route some things through the US exit node due to websites that won’t work outside the US. For my personal devices, traffic routes directly to them via WireGuard tunnels.

In addition, my wife doesn’t care about blocking everything that I do (social media, tracking) but her phone still needs to update sensors in Home Assistant. She can choose not to use the exit nodes but can still communicate with our nodes on Tailscale. She also uses it to print documents at home from her laptop while she’s at work.

Recently I was waiting in a hospital with public (unsafe) WiFi that blocked UDP traffic, but Tailscale does some magic that will relay traffic via TLS. I was able to access services at home with a 20ms latency. The tech is very, very nice to have.
