Oh yeah, one hundred percent. The only reason I got kids was to make sure they can take care of my retirement.

Just as I'm taking care of my parents. I have totally absolutely 100% not broken off all contact with them because of their shitty behaviour. No sir, absolutely not.

I'll believe it when I see it. There's new battery tech every other week. 99,9% never goes anywhere

Let's see who will pay for your retirement and medical care eventually... (unless if you live in that US hellscape ofcourse)

Please don't leave your house, and if you do, please for the love that might be holy don't do it in areas actually inhabited by people.

Corporate speak sucks, but it's 100x better than Linus digging an ever deeper hole for himself at this time. Dude and his wife just need to take a backseat for a while and let pros fix their shit

Not their choice, but "Homosexuality is a choice".

To use a really dumb argument I've heard before.

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

I'm fairly certain he's against it due to his upbringing and never bothering to question his "beliefs" on the topic.

"Homosexuality is weird and wrong" (and it makes me doubt my own sexuality and masculinity) is probably the only driver behind it.

My elderly father would probably catch on fire if he steps into a church. But he shares basically all social values with hardcore Christians.

You can be a non believer, that was raised in a certain belief system and as such share their shitty values. I would imagine this is much more common with older atheists/agnostics/don't-care-about-religion,-only-myselfionists

I mean.. Buy a 50usd tablet to read pdf's and do some casual browsing. Steam decks are made for gaming.

I don't understand some people :)

Yeah. And it's a shame when they "ban" something, there aren't like hundreds of different instances that can still easily access that content.

Some smart people should really come up with a decentralized federated system so these "bans" become total non-issues.

Ah well, one can dream.

Way to misunderstand federation + legal issues... Go cry foul on reddit, they share your "outrage" mindset

Just make an account on another server that is federated with them.

My work uses mifare cards if I recall it correctly. Using a simple nfc emulator app on a rooted phone, I could just clone the card instantly and use my phone to enter anywhere the card could.

This had obvious big security repercussions. Someone with bad intentions could just walk past you and copy the card. So they added personalized pin codes to all cards, every poor sod in the company now has to touch their badge + give in a pincode for you pretty much all doors. They are currently in the progress of renewing the entire security system to upgrade the security of the cards. (at great cost :))

So depending on the type of card used, it might be possible. I've tried it with many different security cards, it only worked with the one from my company. So it really depends on the type of card used.

I think it was this app, but I'm not 100% positive. Haven't rooted my new phone due to other security reasons, so I haven't tinkered with it lately.
