This is why we Jews know not to manufacture life

Maybe a bit of an edge case but I use a wallet case and I still carry a credit card. Wireless chargers have cooked my credit card a few times… and nfc Google pay doesn’t always work.

Then I’d delete my old phone number account and start fresh… not exactly the best option but all things considered you might have too

Signal recently implemented “usernames” instead of phone numbers

DS9 Pale Moonlight: is my second favorite startrek episode. This is like the deepest exploration into a starfleet captain and how easy it is to lose yourself to corruption and operate outside of your government even when you’re working towards the same goal.

VOY The Thaw: an unironic cathartic watch. I’m ready invested in the characters and I get to see A1 star trek grade acting actually brings me back to that episode.

Undeniably fair

SIMBA -> SIMBABIMBA

I was lazy… Here’s it on YouTube https://youtube.com/shorts/VD4lZvYCfZc?si=cliEYLc36DsxzIRF

In terms of chances:

• 90% Tiktok
• 8% Lemmy
• 2% YouTube

When I’m actively doing something (not just on my phone):

• 70% YouTube
• 10% Crunchyroll
• 5% Friends jellyfin servers
• 5% Netflix
• 10% Browser / Chatgpt / Termux / any other tool

I had a really frustrating time when I was trying to have a SATA and m.2 drive. Turns out some sata ports cannot be used while an SSD is in a given m.2 slot.

Look up your motherboards instruction manual, it should have the rules listed out. Give them to chatgpt and ask it to tell you how to plug your drives in.

PC gamers moving to console? What’s next the existing consoles adopting keyboard+mouse?..

There is no downside to this

AIs make the same typos that humans do bc they were trained on human writing.

Garbage in garbage out

He has one, he just doesn’t sit in it

First of all I just want to say that I completely agree with all of the technical things you talked about in his question but I think you kind of miss his question.

OP doesn’t wanna be on SS7 (the thing that gives you your phone number), neither do I. I’ve just come to the conclusion that when it comes to infrastructure and paying for your goods SS7 is the only realistic option I have.

There is no distributed communication network anyone can just connect to. And the dream of leaving WiFi access points open for free (or for some kinda crypto-pay, e.g SkyNet) is just a dream, individuals have to invest in it and nobody wants to or take responsibility for it.

Here are some rules:

1. Somebody* has to build the radios and computers that our phones connect to and has to build them all over the world (*doesn’t have to be an individual, could be a company or government)
2. You gotta pay to use it (whether it’s with a billing account where they have your full name and house address, or crypto)
3. It’s gotta be the easiest option

If we can come with a solution that fits these rules we can do away with the SS7 cellular protocol and have a truly anonymous network.

I have no fear of implementing anything I’m asked to in typescript go rust java c# f# or nix… They’re all the same tool just kinda different in some places.

Nix and home-manager, those are the only 2 I have off the top of my head.

TF2.

I feel like I struggle to visually identify my opponents in every other videogame but TF2.

Same tbh idk if it’s the community or the app for me

Discreet math, Calculus, and Physics change the way I think about code
