Woke up to discover Windows had updated itself. To get to my desktop I have to either click "no" on seven ads or "remind me in 3 days." Oh and look, Teams is back. :sigh:

Have you thought about seasoning your cybertruck so it doesn’t rust as easily? I usually wipe a thin coat of vegetable oil or crisco and put it in the oven for an hour at 500, then let it sit and do like 3-4 coats. After that you can just put a thin coat of vegetable oil on it every time you park and it should stay rust free

That's what you do to non stainless steel or iron, and real automakers already do a much, much more durable and sophisticated version of this.

I looked at a rivian when I was shopping for a small truck, but it turns out the money I would have saved on gas was outweighed by the forty thousand additional American dollars it costs to get one instead of a Maverick

I would say that you should have gotten a used Tacoma, or certain generations of old Rangers, but lol at used truck prices.

If you think those video players are bad, you should see the ones integrated into paid streaming services!

Also, can someone please recommend me a podcast app whose developers have even a foggy idea of how people consume podcasts? I’ve already tried all the ones anybody has heard of.

surf is a minimalist web browser developed by suckless.org. The user interface does not include any graphical control elements; it is controlled via keyboard shortcuts or external tools, which may manipulate its behavior by setting its window's properties.
Most configuration of surf is performed by editing its configuration header file in its source code, and then (re)compiling it. Some settings can be changed without recompiling, via command-line arguments or hotkeys.[2][4]

Nice enough, but I'm looking for a leaner browser. Do you have anything where I can set the URL at compile time? I don't need all this bloat just to tell it where to go.

quote:

Instead of an address bar, the _SURF_URI XProperty has to be set to user-requested uniform resource locator (URL) for the browser to follow it. By default, surf's configuration includes a keyboard shortcut for calling the dmenu program to prompt the user for a URL.[2][3][4][5]

Paste Magazine posted:

“When intertwined with public funding through state and federal tax incentives, the practice of movie and television write-downs represents a troubling exploitation of taxpayer funds,” writes tax attorney Andrew Leahey. “Coupled with rapidly expanding state tax incentives, it represents a multibillion-dollar Rube Goldberg machine that culminates in a nickel being pulled from your pocket, strapped to an Acme rocket, and fired directly into the bank accounts of movie studios.”

Every loophole taken by these studios doesn’t just rob us of art. It burns the work of countless artists. It steals from our quality of life by monkeying around with our broken tax system, allowing our most powerful corporations to skip out on their bills. It picks the remaining shreds of flesh off the bones of our culture, all to further fatten a few vultures at the top.

yes I know Disney is also mentioned but they didn’t have cool knockoff shirts about the cops in the 90s so

Idea: make software that performs its core function well with no additional bloat so its use is as smooth and convenient as possible

Implementation: to adjust the speaker volume, simply recompile your OS and resolder the following connections on the motherboard

Just let me frob some dang bits already
I'm going to reserve judgement on Firefox until I see it. They do bundle lots of awful poo poo, hostile default settings, and ads already but they're usually very good about being able to turn off things you don't want. Even usually without having to resort to twiddling about:config settings. Losing that will be the actual tipping point for me.
