Maybe its the wildfire smoke in my eyes, but that font choice feels aggressive.

The writers name is Maxwell Cooter, which made me giggle.
Cuuugi··on Toronto demands meeting with Google over Maps navigation glitch
I drove on a road in the winter that apple maps thought was closed. It freaked out the entire way.

Software can make mistakes.

Google's TOS gives them immunity for these types of errors, just pay attention to road signs people ffs....

Cuuugi··on How to turn anything into a router
Im running a Beelink EQ15 + OpnSense to do something very similar.
Cuuugi··on Scott Adams has died
The implication is that you are attacking the defenseless. There is none more defenseless than the dead.
Cuuugi··on Scott Adams has died
The online world breeds extremism. It wasn't too long ago criticizing someone on their obituary was considered classless. This is the world we have made.
Cuuugi··on Jane Goodall has died
The full saga is humourous. from wiki.

Gary Larson cartoon incident

One of Gary Larson's Far Side cartoons shows two chimpanzees grooming. One finds a blonde human hair on the other and inquires, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"[114] Goodall herself was in Africa at the time. The Jane Goodall Institute thought the cartoon was in bad taste and had its lawyers draft a letter to Larson and his distribution syndicate in which they described the cartoon as an "atrocity". They were stymied by Goodall herself: when she returned and saw the cartoon, she stated that she found the cartoon amusing.[115]

Since then, all profits from sales of a shirt featuring this cartoon have gone to the Jane Goodall Institute. Goodall wrote a preface to The Far Side Gallery 5, detailing her version of the controversy, and the institute's letter was included next to the cartoon in the complete Far Side collection.[116] She praised Larson's creative ideas, which often compare and contrast the behaviour of humans and animals. In 1988, when Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania,[115] he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo.

Cuuugi··on White House loyalty rating for companies
Covid was created in a lab funded by the Chinese and the NIH, that's accepted as fact at this stage.

I don't think I'm living in lala land if i say the US Gov't has any stake in avoiding blame.

Cuuugi··on White House loyalty rating for companies
"Foreign operatives were legitimately engaging in information warfare against the American people" - says the government at the time, therein lies the concern.

No Government should regulate the internet.

Twitter Files, the FBI @ facebook

This case just doesnt sit right with me.

Cuuugi··on White House loyalty rating for companies
It's an explanation, not a justification.

You're letting past gov'ts away with a lot apparently but overall i agree.

The Overton window shifted too far and now an egomaniac is in charge of its reset.

Cuuugi··on White House loyalty rating for companies
The left does not equal the democrat party. The right does not equate to the republican party.

My point is that there is open levels of collusion with the Biden admin (and Obama earlier) and media corps which have given the Trump admin cover to openly talk about their "favored companies"

Relax guy, politicians are not your friends.

Cuuugi··on White House loyalty rating for companies
I do not like the Trump administration, but they don't exist in a vacuum.

It seems the most of their policies are bitter reactions to perceived misdeeds from "the left".

Corruption definitely crosses the aisle.

Cuuugi··on US Wholesale Inflation Rises by Most in 3 Years
Tarrif's will do that...
Cuuugi··on Canadian MPs suspected of treason kept anonymous and in office
Jagmeet Singh (NDP Leader) has done more to raise then anyone?

You don't have to shoehorn Donald Trump into every political discussion.

Cuuugi··on Canadian MPs suspected of treason kept anonymous and in office
Websites are international, i am currently in Canada.
Cuuugi··on Canadian MPs suspected of treason kept anonymous and in office
I believe i have heard they were from numerous parties? I Believe the CPC was implicated as well?
Cuuugi··on HP+ Seems Sketchy
Thanks for the link. I knew i was ignorant on the subject, Just seemed like a great deal. Apparently too good to be true.
Cuuugi··on Why Steam Deck Is One of the Most Significant PC Gaming Moments in Years
So, i unboxed a $2000 item on counterstrike, and because of their ecosystem, basically had to keep it in the "Steam Economy" so, i purchased the top end model.

Its been great.

I'm really happy with the antiglare screen. I can't always play in the dark.

It is possible to replace the SSD although i am pretty sure it voids the warranty. Valve's recommendation is that you add an SD card, which is a lot more reasonable these days.

Sorry my answer has been kinda rambling yet non descript. tl;dr i don't think storage is the biggest concern, but the anti-glare glass is great.

Cuuugi··on Zoom lays off 15% of employees
Seems like there's always been a boom and bust in the tech world though? In all markets of course, but i am old enough to remember the first dotcom bubble?
Cuuugi··on Drug-resistant cases of gonorrhea detected in the US
Noone passed blame, simply noting the sexual revolution has made STD's more common-place.
Cuuugi··on Senate passes bipartisan bill to subsidize U.S.-made semiconductor chips
"What works is a free market. Raise import costs on CPUs and you’ll incentivize building in the US and more companies to form."

Is the market really free with tariffs?

Cuuugi··on Eve Online's most notorious player has quit the game
I've never played EVE Online, and considering how in-depth it apparently is, i am thankful for it.
Cuuugi··on Canadians Unable to Afford Safe Housing Are Turning to Medically-Assisted Death
This should be an indictment of our Government, but in the circus that is Canadian politics, nothing positive will come of it.
Cuuugi··on The Beautiful Diablo 2 Resurrected Machine
The new game "Diablo 2:Resurrected" has more modern requirements ( i believe an NVidia GTX 1060 card for example).
Cuuugi··on Apple employees criticize work-from-home policy in open letter
I don't think you can "remotely" work for Apple without a work visa. If your paycheck comes from Apple US, and you don't have the right to work in America, that's a pretty clear violation of immigration law.
Cuuugi··on Apple employees criticize work-from-home policy in open letter
Are you kidding me? HN is insanely liberal. There's a reason may bland take is getting downvoted, stop acting like a victim.
Cuuugi··on Apple employees criticize work-from-home policy in open letter
and will lead to a "younger, whiter, more male-dominated, more neuro-normative, more able-bodied"

I mean, they're just asking you to come to the building 3 days a week.
