r0ckarong··on We built our house for LAN parties (2024)
I hope they invested similar money in their home security.
r0ckarong··on The world may have less time than it thinks on climate change
As long as there is no accountability for politicians, we will always have at least as much time as the next guy plans to stay in power.
r0ckarong··on Australia's social media ban has failed
The whole idea of excluding teenagers from social interactions because you can't police how shit people are is absurd.
r0ckarong··on Vision 50 Years Phone – Keeping old Android phones fast without root
Software equivalent of one of these fuel or power saver plugs that blinks an LED at the idiot who paid the money.
r0ckarong··on Which streaming service was that on again?
It's on my media server. Forever. Where did it come from? Content negotiations are not open to public scrutiny. Thank you, good day.
r0ckarong··on Jellyfin founder Andrew leaves team
> third-party clients

Funny how this is the only thing that keeps me from switching from Emby to Jellyfin is the atrocious state of their "own" apps. My last attempt failed when I had to use their Android client. Since I've discovered Wolphin and Findroid it looks a lot more plausible but I just don't have enough pain and lifetime Emby Premiere was still reasonable when I bought it.

r0ckarong··on AWS: Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data – $1.7 billion
Pff rookie numbers, mine was 375 billion.
r0ckarong··on Physical disc production ending in Jan 2028 for new games on PlayStation
Most games with retail copies drop in price soon after the hype window is over. They stay full launch retail price in the PSN store unless there is a "sale". Anti-consumerism at its finest.
r0ckarong··on GTA 6 Physical Copies Won't Include a Disc, Will Just Be a Code in a Box
250GB day one patch incoming.
r0ckarong··on Midjourney Medical
They should ask their LLM for fun things to do in prison! Or ask Elizabeth Holmes.
r0ckarong··on New Lifetime Plex Pass Pricing
I stopped using Plex when they started forcing the "streaming" of third party content into my network. What are they smoking now?
r0ckarong··on We've made the world too complicated
Sounds like a control fetish to me. I'm a meat sack controlled by an organical electro-chemical controller that I'll never fully understand; which doesn't even obey me most of the time but that doesn't keep me from doing things.
r0ckarong··on I love Linux, but I can't quit Windows
Sorry but wtf is that guy on?

> I need my machine to work. I can't spend an afternoon tweaking my computer anymore.

Until Microslop OS decided on its own that you haven't had a reboot in a while and since we're at it some of the drivers you desperately need suddenly are not kosher anymore.

When stuff breaks I prefer something I'm actually allowed to repair. That's just me.

r0ckarong··on Kash Patel's Personalized Bourbon Stash
That country is such a clown show.
r0ckarong··on Google Flow Music
Don't forget to save your Google Flow Music collection before we shut down this service.
r0ckarong··on The Seasons Are Wrong
What is he on about? Ah, american. Ok.
r0ckarong··on Microsoft terms say Copilot is for entertainment purposes only, not serious use
At this point their company is only for entertainment purposes not serious business, no? A wait they're slamming the only entertainment franchise thru have left into the ground as well.
r0ckarong··on Goodbye to Sora
Couldn't make it work at taking actual directions huh?
r0ckarong··on Trashing American Allies Turns Out to Be Bad for National Security
Antagonizing all your neighbors doesn't make the neighborhood safer for you?
r0ckarong··on Stop calling it vibe coding
Stop calling them vibrators, they're agentic lovers.
r0ckarong··on Microsoft Office renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”
Someone please remove the self-serve paint thinner fountain from their cafeteria. It's beyond ridiculous.
r0ckarong··on Late night pizzeria nearby The Pentagon has suddenly surged in traffic
Coup in Venezuela needs more Pepperoni.
r0ckarong··on Grok Can't Apologize. So Why Do Headlines Keep Saying It Did?
Because we live in a technofeudalist hellscape where the media is owned by the people who profit from out oppression.
r0ckarong··on Rubio stages font coup: Times New Roman ousts Calibri
Good thing the world is entirely stable and the United States have literally no more pressing issues.
r0ckarong··on Firewood Banks Aren't Inspiring. They're a Sign of Collapse
Some billionaire is eating food flown around the world this very moment.
r0ckarong··on 'Life being stressful is not an illness' – GPs on mental health over-diagnosis
More like most people are dragging a cruise ship through a desert while being baited with the possible opportunity to belong to those enjoying the endless buffets and on-board water park.

This whole "should we ration so everybody gets some" is complete BS. There is an abundance of resources that are concentrated to a few and the rest made to suffer. We don't have to ration, we have to prevent the greedy from hogging it all. It's quite the opposite.

r0ckarong··on U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
Good time to finally get that double lightning tattoo you always wanted sailor.
r0ckarong··on Samsung makes ads on smart fridges official with upcoming software update
Don't some of these have "smart" features to detect what is actually in your fridge and tell you if you run out? I would think removing the last piece of butter could trigger an ad for whatever cow-milk-fat substitute won the highest bid on the brainfuck raffle that day would be shown to you.
r0ckarong··on Suspicionless ChatControl must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law
Also it would mean that the politicians and lobbyists would be subject to that surveillance by default. Can't have that.
r0ckarong··on RIAA: Telegram and Discord Are Notorious Hubs for Pre-Release Music Piracy
Same discussion every decade. Industry earns ever higher profits. Artists earn ever lower. Piracy still as strong as before all the effort and time wasted. Countless billions sunk into squishing teenagers in court. Still not one fair and simple sharing or discovery model. This industry and especially the *AA orgs are evil money presses and should be abolished.
