Back then, this would have been a bold combination of emerging technologies.

I hear you, but unfortunately your username ends in .ml

I mean it’s a known fact that WASPs rule the media.

I upvoted them.

You may not know that you’re at the TOP of the leaderboard, but you probably have a pretty good idea that you drink a lot of tea.

Which is why this policy usually goes by maximum income or income cap

I think so too, but like i said there’s only so many computers that you can find a use for.

I think. That wasn’t a challenge, don’t prove me wrong

I was kind of on board with that idea, but now i’m100% on board

I had the exact same reaction and i don’t trust that sentiment, i think i’m just hoping for a singular miracle pill that i can take and it will solve all my issues.

Still thought it was worth a try but even getting an appointment with a psychologist of any kind was tough, so here i am still unmedicated even though i relate to a lot of ADD symptoms

Honestly, i predict people and businesses will keep using Win10 years after it’s become unsafe. We’ve all seen the local warehouse still running Windows 7, i’m thinking that scenario but for millions of users.

That’s a cybersecurity problem, but what i’m most concerned with is the e-waste problem, because there’s still going to be a lot of users that do replace their PC. There aren’t enough Linux users to buy all the computers that will be rendered obsolete, and there won’t be by then either. I myself am a new Linux user but i’m already covered, i don’t need more computers, not even for cheap.

I just really hope this doesn’t end with millions of good computers landfilled or parted. The third world already buys a lot of our e-waste, so i hope they’ll get a crapton of relatively good computers for cheap and run either Win10 or Linux

I can’t believe i’m saying this, but… I think mosquitos don’t deserve this. There’s basically no life form that deserves our cruelty more than mosquitoes, but this pushes a boundary i didn’t know was there.

Can’t believe the :.|:; is still being felt all these years alter

Yeah i believe you can break a cast iron, it will snap instead of bend, but i have no idea how hard you’d have to drop it. It also probably would damage the glass

I don’t know your glass cooktop, but i’d be shocked if the weight of a cast iron was enough to damage it. Does this mean you also wouldn’t put a cooking pot full of water on it? Mine had no problem, didn’t even get scratched which i was worried it might.

That said i do think cast irons can be too heavy for some people, especially when it’s full

I was actually thinking of using I2P, but there may be complications there too and i don’t want to get my hopes up too much

it’s so much better than stainless

debatable but i think so

it takes a little maintenance

everything needs maintenance in the sense that you have to clean it. jokes aside, the only maintenance it needs is to burn oil in it if the seasoning got a little damaged for any reason

can’t cook anything tomato based

you can, it’s not great but won’t ruin it

eight coats of oil you have to burn onto it before you can use it

that’s not true, all cast iron pans come pre-seasoned from the factory

you can cook fried eggs and steak

that is true

even after seasoning it everything will still stick to the pan

not really, it’s pretty non-stick

to clean it you gotta heat it up then dry salt scrub then re-season

not really, you only need to do that if the seasoning got damaged

if water ever touches it the entire thing will disintegrate

that’s not true, you’d have to leave it in water for days to get it to rust

things that aren’t mentioned: you gotta use it regularly otherwise it gets sticky; you can use metal tools like knives and spatulas directly in the pan that would demolish any teflon; the seasoning is more resilient than people think, you can even wash it with dish soap; the seasoning actually gets stronger when you fry fatty things in it (grilled cheese, steaks, eggs, sausages); it’s very simple, durable, rustic, old technology, and incredibly cheaper than skillets of a similar quality (excluding cheap teflon pans); you can unrust it in your garage and even weld it back together if it breaks, which is sick as hell.

Over the years i’ve torrented with no VPN, Tunnelbear, NordVPN, Mozilla VPN, and Proton; i’m pretty sure all of them messed up my torrenting in some way, not necessarily by making the connection slower, but by making some peers invisible and making me invisible to some peers.

And then there was Soulseek, which had me trying and failing to set up port forwarding. It was complicated and still didn’t work as well as it would have if i didn’t have a VPN.

Incidentally, i do need a VPN to torrent because i’ve gotten two fine-threatening letters already

Honestly YT Premium has been a thing for a long time and it’s done the opposite. There used to be exclusive shows that were made public later. (i.e. they were made public the day after i paid for my subscription)

I like YT Premium (and Twitch Turbo for that matter) for two reasons: they support creators (wayy higher CPM than ad-supported viewers), and they support the platform in a way that makes them less dependent from advertisers. If more people subsribed to YT Premium, their incentives would lean towards paid members and away from advertisers and music labels.

Having said that, i have ethical problems with both Twitch and Youtube, hence why i don’t subscribe to either and subscribe to Nebula instead. It’ll do until PeerTube becomes usable.

I’ve been doing that, but then it doesn’t play the next video in the playlist. Which sucks because i can’t listen to my favorite audiobook
