Sure , let’s move the goalposts

So, I see, you’re painting Trump and Putin as the underdog. Everyone pushing them around

Yes, that term usually denotes a person or group not in power.

Google says

A person, group, or organization that uses violent action, or the threat of violent action, to further political goals; frequently in an attempt to coerce either a more powerful opponent, (such as a citizen or group targeting a government), or conversely, a weaker opponent, (such as a government, or even an internal citizen or group, being targeted by a larger government).

He’s not a terrorist, doesnt match the definition. You may notice a lot of comparisons to hitler though. Trump is a better match for a despot

But that’s kind of the problem. If it’s only supported in one or two apps, is it really an open format?

For example, I use Libre Office on my laptop. However the printer driver for my printer is no longer supported and Microsoft keeps installing a broken one over the one that works. I can no longer reliably print from my laptop.

But printing from my iPhone has been flawless for years. But if I try to look up how to edit and print open document format on my iPhone, the answer is “Microsoft Word”. How is the “open” format not supported, and why do I need to switch to a proprietary format?

Or a less douchey version is …. While this may be well intentioned, it’s really not going to work and he needs to find another way to contribute

This is the least weird thing … as a father, I always preferred an activity with my kids to celebrate Father’s Day, especially something that makes a difference, something that celebrates caring and protecting, and encourages my children to develop habits that care and protect. We generally did something like wilderness cleanup, or clean up grounds at community centers.

As my kids become adults and have less need of care and protection, it would be easy to say that Father’s Day no longer applies. But it applies to me if I say it does: taking care of people doesn’t just disappear. In the last couple years I’ve been putting some thought into whether I’d continue to meaningfully celebrate Father’s Day and how.

If I were close to someone who was attacked, who I couldn’t protect, who I wasn’t able to sufficiently care for, who needed a womens shelter, why wouldn’t that be one of the possibilities?

Yeah that’s excellent! I’ve been trying to do similar for years …… for my ex and kids.

I use Apple’s password manager mainly because it’s so well integrated into their ecosystem, including family sharing. If you’re an Apple family, it’s a great choice (and yes there’s a windows integration).

I finally forced them to use it for streaming services because I refuse to give the password out. I just tell them where they can find it

But none of them voluntarily use it. And it even gives notices for reused passwords and exposed passwords: I have to see that but they won’t change them because they can’t remember them.

I would have liked it just for the integration with code reviews, but we didn’t even get a chance to try because “it’s too expensive” …… as we’re migrating from on-prem infrastructure licensed per site to cloud infrastructure charged per usage, and with no valid cost comparison

I hope not: we’re migrating from Gitlab to GitHub. I was never a fan because of the lack of enterprise features in GitHub (folders, with more granularity of settings and permissions, scalable usability), and certainly GitLab CI was extremely limited but wtf

I can’t comment on Plex vs JellyFin, but it’s an interesting perspective that $3/mon for remote access is too much

I use another piece of opensource software, where I consider that a plus. It takes the headache and security issues off my hands, while I can support the developers with a small contribution for an optional feature

I recently ordered a Trmnl, because it looks like they do what I want, and I keep not doing it as a project. I haven’t gotten it yet but ….

My impression is it’s more of a finished product, not a project. If there is a plugin doing what you want, then it’s a simple configuration. However if you want to customize, you may need to pay for a developer account

And I’ll answer as well to keep the train running, even though i wasn’t part of this…

I don’t pay with cash unless specifically asked. I don’t regularly carry cash. If I need to pay cash I get it first that purpose, but usually get a larger amount. I’m a bit more likely to use it if I gave it but don’t refill it when it’s gone, until I’m forced to

You could ask some of those guys how they prefer to be paid. My electrician likes Venmo and my house cleaner prefers Zelle. I can pay them instantly like with a credit card but they’re not hit with the fees

Then there are a few aircraft that can do it like old movies. Perfectly safe to fly with the “window” open, and a hell of a lot of fun

And yet they’re talking about a nanny as a local device temporarily attached to a car and that does not necessarily “phone home”. Not everything is a “slippery slope”

And yes, speed governors were all too common after the 1970s fuel crisis. As far as I know they still are on trucks, like rental moving trucks. This is not a new thing, except to allow a court to mandate it for repeat egregious offenders

My town has been increasingly prioritizing road redesign for safety - my favorite example is a major road lined with strip malls was restriped down to one lane and is now noticeably slower, calmer and safer yet we get through it noticeably faster. The magic of doing it right

To get to a common destination through there used to take me 12-16 minutes. Now I drive slower and it’s consistently 9 minutes or less!

The article even helps with priorities, with special outrage for speeding in school zones. Fine, let’s start there. It ought to be an easy argument that every school zone should prioritize pedestrian safety, and be difficult to speed in. Even if it’s as simple as directing through drivers elsewhere, it’s a win

We already have such Nannies for repeat drunk drivers so how is this different? It even fits with the narrative that we don’t know who is driving- we know the car is being driven dangerously so should prevent that regardless of driver

Every state is different - while I’m not sure how mine handles multiple speeding tickets, ask me how I know that 30 mph over counts as a major accident on your insurance. At that point, the cost of the ticket is almost irrelevant (approaching a toll both on a highway, when I passed the new speed sign I hadn’t yet slowed enough, the assholes. If they looked at my speed like 50’ later…).

Anyhow I have to expect it’s more “good old boy” corruption, where at each step he gets dismissed or charge reduced

Edit: oh, speed camera infractions. I believe those can’t be criminal since you have the right to face your accuser.
