Got to remember to look at the c/ before having a WTF moment.

I was like, my dude water you know one of the essential things keeping you alive is a liquid.

It is a difficult position to be in.

So the crazy makes a plan with a local franchise owner. Tells corporate he has already said yes. Even though they likely don’t want anything to do with it, as it is a no win situation for them, they are fucked either way.

They have the shit job of saying no one of the most petty people in the world; who may be the next president. He could tell his cult to avoid McD’s because they snubbed him etc…so now it is either piss off the MAGA crowd, quite possibly their biggest market, or piss off the dems…

McD’s is not great food, but it isn’t terrible either. I don’t envy the higher ups having to make this situation palatable.

Their statement is pretty good though.

we open our doors to everyone

This is basically saying even though he is a criminal, we would still give him a chance. That is a dem dog-whistle if ever I saw one.

It sucks, where is the 2016 Musk. That dude seemed to really want to help the world.

Tesla was in a difficult position, but was really doing good things, SpaceX was just getting off the ground (pun intended), The Boring Company wasn’t a thing yet.

But post 2016, he just seems to get worse and worse, meme coins, weird birther shit…

I used to really want a Tesla, they seemed like a car for me, but now that I am getting close to being able to afford one…well no, I think I’ll probably get a polestar. Musk you went from what I would have called a visionary to a joke then kept sliding into actively dangerous. Shame really.

She was removed today.

So kicking and screaming then.

Think to self, it has probably been 5 minutes already, I should get up. Look at watch, hmmmmmm that can’t be right, how did 45 minutes just disappear?

I read that as scro-TU-mass, took me a second to figure out what you were saying

Run tasks on a schedule

Termux + syncthing cli + tasker

But this is not a solution for those that you do family tech support for.

Agreed, it is fine for me. But I’m not going to setup something like that for family or friends.

I was reminded of the same thing.

Except for all the family and friends phones I have installed it on, these are not power users.

Not being on the play store is a major deal.

It sucks that Syncthing is discontinuing its android app

It would be up near the top of my list.

This is one of the many things I use Syncthing for.

The problem is not “Syncthing users” it is the others that we bring along with us.

I already have F-Droid on my phone, but the dozen others that I have promoted Syncthing to over the years do not. This is going to cause a bunch of problems.

This is much more important than what you portray here.

I needed to update my parents old NUC from Win7, it was either new hardware to run Win10 or give Linux a try, I told them I had been running Linux since 09 full time and it isn’t any harder than running Windows.

I said how about you give it a go for a month or so and see how you go.

I installed Mint, it has been a few years now and no real issues beyond taking a while to get the printer working. I installed rust desk for remote assistance which I have only used 3 times since install.

That is one bold assumption right there.

But it was all my husbands fault, I didn’t do it myself. You can’t prove anything!

I think she will have to be kicked out, she will not resign with the scrap of dignity that she has remaining.

It is pretty much this, same reason lawyers use “legalese” in contracts. That word has an accepted meaning, when used the meaning is clear to others in the field. You don’t need an extra document to define each term as it is expected that others in the field will understand the language used.

In saying that, sometimes it is just complication for the sake of complication.

There is a saying, usually attributed to Einstein but could also be William of Ockham:

Everything should be as simple as possible, but no simpler.

People often focus on the first part while ignoring the more important second part. When something is made too simple, you lose the nuance and fine detail that makes it a useful concept. Not everything can be ELI5’d, somethings are just really complicated.

KeePassXC + Keepass2Andriod, keep it all synced using Syncthing. Desktop/Laptop/Phone all have the passwords synchronized, it is super convenient.

I have been doing it this way for years, never had any issues; just starting to investigate using passkeys where I can. So that is a new adventure; I’ll see how it goes with my current workflow.

I did email one site that had a message that it only worked with chrome, I said that switching my user agent fixed the “issue” and the site seemed to work with no issues on FF.

A few months later, no more warning.
