  • This gave me flashbacks of being chased by an angry turkey when I was in elementary school.

  • He wouldn't make that statement unless he experienced the horror himself.

    Now, if he still does it these days...

  • Man Booked For Using VPN In J&K's Rajouri, 3rd Such Case In 2 Days
  • In an order issued on April 24, Additional District Magistrate of Rajouri Rajeev Kumar Khajuria ordered immediate suspension of VPN services in the district as a preventive measure to protect all information related to the ongoing Lok Sabha elections and other sensitive data from cyber attacks.

    I still don't understand why they banned VPN. How banning VPN would protect the election?

  • What is Reddit doing
  • You can't access old.reddit.com with VPN these days. I wouldn't be surprised if reddit killed it soon.

  • Windows is hell, i need to do something
  • It was supposed to be the react-native killer!

  • Uuh grub?
  • I once crashed gdm by accidentally leaving some object on top of my keyboard which depressed some keys for hours.

  • The easiest problem
  • Your first few programming languages usually influence you the most for the rest of your career.

  • How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas
  • It's sad that you can't replace the infotainment unit in a new car with an aftermarket unit anymore. I imagine 10 years from now we'll have a fleet of cars with outdated infotainment systems that can't connect with whatever future version of bluetooth/carplay/android auto anymore. Imagine driving cars with giant but useless infotainment screens that can't do anything but playing mp3 off a USB stick because its outdated system can't connect to your new phone.

  • The easiest problem
  • Ah, must've been a fortran developer. I swear they have this ability to make the shortest yet the least memorable variable names. E.g. was the variable called APFLWS or APFLWD? Impossible to remember without going back and forth to recheck the definition. Autocomplete won't help you because both variables exist.

  • Choose your difficulty
  • If you're one of a tribe living in the jungle of West Papua, then yeah, it's basically survival of the fittest there with no electricity or modern amenities. If you're living in a city then it's no different than the rest of the region, but with small risks of armed conflict with the separatist group.

  • We meet again
  • He did get burnt to crisp, so it's not a stretch if he got a fire phobia now.

  • Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works
  • Speedrunners must be able to speedrunning irl.

  • In a thousand years teachers will have a hard time explaining the origins of one of the most dangerous and ill-conceived weapons ever invented: the lightsaber
  • The amount of junk polluting the internet is growing exponentially. I won't be surprised if future historians have trouble separating the truth from fiction, shit posts and LLM craps.

  • Kagi silently removed all references to Google's index from their website
  • Just for some perspective, if you want to know how little reach the fedi post with the link to this blog post got: the first post in this thread already has more likes and boosts after less than a hour since posting it than my blog post ever did that he felt the need to confront me over.

    The author probably wasn't aware that their blog post has a huge engagement in hacker news just the day before and the CEO got roasted there, so the CEO probably felt the need to contact the author to "correct" their post.

  • Yes, it is all Unix
  • I'm more of a "if it swims like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's a duck" kind of guy.

  • Yes, it is all Unix
  • Windows was this close to be Unix. Windows was POSIX.1-compliant, and Windows Service for UNIX was also a thing.

  • U.S. police have arrested more protesters in just two weeks, than the Hong Kong police arrested in four violent months in 2019.
