  • Sounds great, yeah. I am not good enough at computer stuff to start an instance, but I would be really happy to join one. So keep me illuminated, please.

  • when i type "hai", a dolphin emoji pops up and my phone's autocorrect switches to other languages sometimes. in what language is "hai" related to dolphins?

    Jump

  • It's the same in Afrikaans. But there's a 60% overlap in the vocabulary there, so it makes sense.

    What are your thoughts on Louis Rossmann?

  • What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?

    Jump

  • So I play guitar. I had a problem where I would sometimes drop my pick. Then, one day, I had an idea. I took some copper wire and attached it to a pick through a small hole I burned into it with a needle. I wrapped the wire around my finger. Now I physically cannot drop my pick.

  • What is a less popular type/genre of movies that you watch ? What makes it interesting for you ?

    Jump

  • I know I'm a month late, but I just came across this comment. Joel Haver is one of the most beautiful filmmakers I have ever encountered. He just has so much empathy for his subjects, and it feels like he really loves his characters. I discovered him a few years ago, and I am definitely in for the ride. There is not enough ass in the world for that man to kick.

    Jump

  • It used to be very popular, so I don't know if this qualifies, but I watch a lot of noir and neo-noir. Specifically, I like the ones told from the criminal's perspective. Films like Double Indemnity, Body Heat and The Postman Always Rings Twice are great places to start.

  • Pity, really.

  • Good on you. You can teach your son some valuable perspective, while getting in some quality time as well. Please let us know how it goes, if you don't mind. I feel invested now.

  • Depends on what you're looking for, really. I'm unsure about the rules regarding sharing specific sites, but if you DM me, I can throw a few recommendations your way.

  • You make some good points there. I remember LAN parties in high school where we would spend hours troubleshooting network problems and calling older brothers for advice. I learned a lot from those experiences, because I was forced to. I think a big part of the changes we are seeing in computer literacy is what I would call the removed philosophy: if a toddler can't use it, we need to simplify. Basically, as you said, things are getting simpler with less granular control. Of course, removed is far from the only company doing this stuff, but they seem to be industry leaders in the sense of 'dumbing down' tech.

    I recently had a friend say that privacy is a luxury these days. My first thought was that there is nothing luxurious about it. It takes hard work, inconvenience and savvy. And I'm not even close to Stallman levels of privacy paranoia. I know just enough to acknowledge that I know nothing. I feel similarly about tech in general. I have been using Linux for ten years, I use VPNs, I have played around with DNS settings, et cetera. But I realize that I have barely scratched the surface of what is possible and available to those willing to spend the time and get it done.

    Anyway, I'll shut up now. Thanks for replying thoughtfully, and thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

  • What's your favorite underrated band?

    Jump

  • Ass Ponys. When you search for them on YouTube, be sure to search for "Ass ponys band." Otherwise you'll find a lot of softcore My Little Pony porn.

  • Thanks. Luckily there are some people here who have a smidge of empathy. They are few and far between, but not nonexistent.

  • I'm in Daegu myself. Enjoy the relative progressiveness of the capital city. Down here that guy would get beaten.

  • This is real rule.

  • Never spend time in South Korea. They put corn and sweet potato on pizza. And that's just where it starts.

  • Would you teach your kids how to pirate?

    Jump

  • I'll only say no to this question because I don't want to have kids. But I taught my mom how to pirate, and I'm proud of that. I believe that piracy is not a morally neutral act. It is morally good. Pro-piracy is an ethically good stance to take in this age.
