I basically had an adblocker for netzero making it a free service. Was super useful for my broke teenage ass.

I think it’s more embrace. They have to compete against so many more entities now.

Thanks for posting. Would like to use this for multiple reasons.

Did you use peior on purpose here or is it a typo?

I loved rings of power. It’s so good! Was it not entertaining for you?

The dark tower series.

Naw.

People downvoting this are dumb. It’s objectively funny. I know that’s not what that means and I still stand by it.

Lighten up, Francis.

Makes sense. I approached it of less than an article and more of a list of definitions. But yeah, the definitions weren’t good and I found myself wishing for better explanations.

I’m pretty ignorant on all of the definitions though, so I did bookmark it to peruse again later.

Explains the downvotes though, thank you.

Curious why this was downvoted so much

I can ssh into the APs, although I’m not sure about configuring them independent of a controller as I haven’t tried. I use a free google cloud tier to host the controller, which can be managed via web gui and phone app. It may use some Java elements in the controller but it wasn’t hard to set up.

I think the “no config” part is missed on most lemmy users. I have buddies who can barely work their phone. They have consoles. They would be screwed trying to do pc gaming, it’s just too much. Drivers. Filesystems and paths. Cloud shit this, updates that. They just want to play.

He’ll, I know how to do everything and the notion of optimization turns me off. Being in your 40s and gaming is precious time where you don’t want to mess around with anything but your entertainment objective. Yeah consoles have some of those things but it’s more idiot proof and straightforward.

They don’t get money from installs. Just ads and google products usage.

Maybe 10-12 years ago. I have provided friends and family with tech support for a long time (20+ years) and I’d say I haven’t had any relatives call me for support in 5 years.

It’s part user education, but mostly that the OS is generally so stable and solid that it isn’t necessary anymore.

I personally have two desktops, one windows and one Ubuntu. I use them both equally and have more issues with Ubuntu acting randomly funky than Windows 11.

I have a favorite link that for “full stand up comedy special” on YouTube and new ones pop up like every day. Listen to it on my commute, shower, dishes, etc.

Son is 13 and gets a lot of attention - especially comments/compliments from adults. Not lewd or obnoxious ones, just like “wow kid you are really good looking! Going to get all the girls in high school” type stuff. He was 6’3” at 12.

He is much more personality and brains than looks as a person, so I guess I’ll just not worry about it. Lucky kid.

I didn’t laugh because it isn’t funny. I’m still a nerd tho.

Does anyone know what kind of naming pattern or bot identification methods we could use? I belong to a small public server that’s there to serve a public need.
