For whatever it’s worth I have been using a Fairphone 5 in the US for over a year on T-Mobile.

You are allowed to record content like a broadcast though, which makes me wonder if that means that ripping is illegal, but piping it through a capture card isn’t?

Technically I’m half right and half wrong (I think). It’s not illegal to backup media that one owns, but it is illegal to break DRM/copy protection which is required to rip most physical media these days.

Suffice to say the legality of it is a cluster fuck, but the morality, in my opinion, is pretty clear. Fuck the corpos.

But it is legal in the country he lives in as well as the country YouTube is headquartered in.

That just sounds like a worse station wagon. Which, being the owner of a Subaru Outback station wagon, I can confirm.

You don’t sound like a very pleasant person to try and have a constructive conversation with.

Did it in my mid 20s before it was all the rage. Couldn’t be happier.

It wasn’t Bowser, it was the finance guys that were placed at the head of the company after Satoru Iwata’s death.

Jeff is located in St. Louis Missouri unfortunately.

Random question for everyone from a bit of a noob. When I’m using Powershell (PS) in windows I can start to type the name of a built in command or one I have added to PATH and then press tab to auto complete the command. That part works the same in my Linux terminal.

What I can also do after I have typed that command into PS is start to type a file name that exists in the directory that PS is working in and then press tab to auto complete or cycle through the files that match and it even formats the name of the file correctly (meaning if it has a space in the name it will wrap the name in quotes so that it is understood by the commands they are fed to). This auto completing of file names even works on files that were created after the PS window was opened. This functionality doesn’t seem to exist by default in any distro I have used. Is it possible to do this in the Linux terminal?

Although I have done some distro hopping, most of them have ultimately been Ubuntu based. Currently running Kubuntu.

I still spend more time on Windows than Linux and I find it much easier to do basic trimming, splicing, resizing, cropping, and other very basic edits of video with just the ffmpeg CLI.

That Accord was my first manual and as you said very forgiving. I actually think it’s an almost prefect car to teach someone driving a manual in. Because of how much torque it has you could just let the clutch out somewhat slowly and you would start going without stalling or touching the gas at all, which means the person doesn’t have to learn how to operate the gas and clutch at the same time.

My 8th gen Accord V6 6MT had the same pattern, I generally liked it a lot. The reverse gear is gated in some way such that it should not be possible to shift into reverse when traveling at speed. I don’t ever remember accidentally going into 6th when I wanted to reverse. My muscle memory says that to shift into either I always just pushed as far to the right and down and trusted the car to put it into the correct gear.

Let’s fucking go! Keep it up everyone, make people here really see and feel the consequences.

I’m under no illusion that anyone who voted for this will “feel bad” or regret their vote. As we have been seeing the people who voted for this do not regret their decision perse. However, the hate that fuels them will only take them so far. If things get bad enough quick enough they might be able to remember it the next time (if there ever is one). I think the cult following of Trump and their emotional sunk cost fallacy won’t let them see that voting for Trump was a bad idea, but there is a small chance they will recognize and reject it in whoever comes next.

I’m under no illusion the above will actually happen, I just think it’s the best that can be hoped for.

I know it can last longer than that, but I think there is a benefit to doing so even if it doesn’t need changed that often. It’s the same reason I have my mechanic do my oil changes instead of doing them myself. It’s so that they can look at the rest of the car and let me know about problems before they become a much more expensive fix. Kinda like going to a doctor for a yearly checkup and blood work.

I can fix almost anything on a car if I know what the issue is and have the shop manual, but I don’t work on cars enough to know all warning signs or quickly diagnose things.

However, I do realize how difficult it can be to find a mechanic that is trustworthy, competent, and reasonably priced. I’m generally not a fan of dealership mechanics or the places that are dedicated to cheap oil changes. Not saying none of them have good mechanics, but it can be hit or miss.

Patreon and Wikipedia are things people pay for that they can get for free. I have long wanted a way to directly find Firefox development and sustainability.

You beat me to it 🤣

Samsung Messages is just a slightly modified Google Messages and as far as I am aware Google has not allowed anyone else to even do that. Plus last I knew Samsung more or less stopped doing much with it and has opted to just use the standard Messages on all of their new phones.

Probably the one where I was in a relationship with the woman I loved more than anyone I ever have and we had an amazing life together going on adventures, making things, blowing things up, and generally just having fun with life and not taking it too seriously. Then I woke up…

… if we are lucky
