  • GitHub is a great place for this. They have an Issues and Discussions tab for repos. Zero reason to use Discord if you use GitHub already for your project.

  • Tumblr.

    While it's certainly not as evil as it's others, it was gutted when it was bought by Yahoo. It changed hands to Verizon and then Automattic. It was a tragic fall from grace.

  • EVs are cleaner than gas cars, but a growing share of Americans don't believe it
  • Even if you live in an area where busses are, they're slow and limited routes. Times are often inconvenient to work schedules. 1h 30m by bus, 50m biking, 3h 10m walk. A drive to work takes me 15 mins on average.

  • Taking the fight to Reddit... FOR MONEY.
  • Depends on ISP.

    If IPv4 ban, it is indeed 100% ineffective. Nearly all ISPs either CGNAT or rotate addresses. If IPv6, the ISP just forwards a 64 bit block and leaves it at that. You must call and request a new IP block. In which case you'll be told yes or no. If yes, it's either free or paid.

    I know with ATT Fiber, they don't offer address changes unless there is some security or service interruption reason. You have to unplug the modem for 30+ days so the lease expires if you don't want to do rounds with support. My IPv4 address has changed once, but my IPv6 address block has never changed.

  • ‘It scared them off’, Kansas City shoppers report less crime thanks to security robot patrolling strip mall
  • Someone made a mistake here. It's not getting your IP address. An IP address is assigned by the gateway when you're connected to an access point. An IP address is not an identity. They are always changing and can be shared. This has already been tested and upheld in court.

    It's actually collecting your MAC address. Which is exchanged when your phone or tablet scan nearby WiFi points or Bluetooth devices. However, this can already be defeated. By default iOS and Android both have the option to randomise the MAC address in intervals. Making it extremely difficult to prove anything. This feature exists because the devices real MAC address never changes. It is unique. Alternatively, users can disable WiFi and Bluetooth scanning entirely. However, your device no longer participates in the Find My Devices program by Apple and Google, location does take longer to acquire in some scenarios, and accuracy may take longer to triangulate.

  • 'All good here': Last messages revealed from Titan submersible before implosion: Coast Guard
  • The hubris the man had was so perfectly demonstrated in his interview.

    "There's a rule you don't do that. Well I did."

    And now he's dead.

  • Something could have gone wrong electronically or mechanically warranting a ballast drop. I have considered this to be a possibility outside of them hearing cracks and suddenly wanting to go up.

  • When was the last time I changed the oil in my mower?
  • I would be cautious with this thought process though. Oil cools, lubricates and cleans the engine. These engines are air cooled so keep that in mind. Degraded oil can't do the job very well.

  • M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable
  • Clean up your tabs please. Omg

  • If you could regulate something relatively inconsequential, what would it be?
  • You'll find a majority of gaming oriented laptops do this already. No accidents.

    Whereas mainstream low to high end sticks it somewhere to be smashed accidentally.

  • Woman who was denied a liver transplant, after review highlighted alcohol use, has died
  • It seems the average in the US is 10 years. But you can develop it and reach critical levels in as little as 5 years. Hard alcohol every day. Multiple times a day.

  • Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive”
  • There is one actually.

    It's obviously a WIP. A discord clone essentially

  • i really hate telecommunications companies
  • I use Mint (T-Mobile towers), $120 every 3 months. Unlimited calling, texting and data (your speed is throttled after 40GB). Included is 10GB hotspot data. I have absolutely no issues with it.

  • STALKER 2 Currently Runs at 25 FPS on Series S, But Xbox Is Helping with Optimization; Devs Praise Their Support
  • Nothing has changed sadly.

    30 was the standard up to PS3 and X360 at 720p. With the complete rework of the hardware design for PS4 and XOne, both consoles targeted 60 at 720p and encouraged developers to reach this. If the resolution is upped to 1080p, games will more often than not target 30. There are exceptions to this such as Gran Turismo. To this day, in the era of PS5 and X Series, a majority of games still target 30 because it's easier to do so and they can crank up the graphical quality.

  • NYC car addict sues after his $315K Lamborghini supercar gets ticket from noise camera
  • I don't know if this is well known, but Lamborghini has a track record of loud exhaust, period. Regardless of valve state. Huracan Performante owners requested that Lamborghini make the next special edition a little quieter. Reason being the Performante was too loud even on race tracks. Track day drivers know there are noise limits that vary by track. You're asked to leave immediately if you exceed the limit. You may also receive a temporary ban and/or fine.

    What did Lamborghini do? Make the Huracan STO even louder across all driving modes. The company demonstrates it believes noise limits themselves are annoying. While I do like loud cars myself, sometimes a noise compliant normal or comfort mode doesn't exist.

  • Sometimes it has its own problems, but it doesn't mean that it's not great
  • It's always been bad practice to just blindly update software. That's why we have different distros.

    Ubuntu and Mint hold your hand and make it easy for newcomers. Great way to dive into Linux. I completely agree these are great for "it just works" and no fuss. I've not had one break on me.

    Arch and Gentoo expect you to have experience and know what you're doing. You build it up how you want it. That's what makes these so great. But you need the experience and knowledge.

    I've personally tried openSUSE and in my opinion it feels like a good middle ground between both ends. In the past I've recommended Mint to get started, openSUSE once you've got experience, and then Arch for when you want total control.

  • The Worst TV Show Finales
  • Different crew. It was so badly reviewed, viewer count fell off a cliff, so Discovery pulled the show after season 15.

    Edit: To be clear, season 14 was the final season with the original hosts. Discovery renewed it for season 15, two years later after casting new hosts

  • What's one brand whose products you can always trust?
  • This is so true and it hurts.

    Have a mouse, keyboard and speaker set from 2004-2005. They all still work. I've bought several new Logitech products since 2015 and all have failed or have some defect. I've reached the point where I don't buy anything Logitech.
