How do you complete the captcha? For me it just loops; it’s to the point where not having the original link to an article is actually more annoying.

I feel you. My first jobs were in fast food, then Walmart, then warehouse jobs after that. So even though I’m a web developer now I still have that eternal frustration with people moving too slow.

What I always thought to be my first memory. I explained it to my mother and she said she only lived in the place I described for the first six months of my life.

I always thought it was fake because I thought it was impossible to have memories that early on in life.

That kind of phrasing always seems they assume that not believing is the same as rejecting and therefore you too believe in the existence of God/god.

They just completely miss the point.

I live in Los Angeles and I’d say that people being completely unaware of their surroundings and other people.

People don’t move out of the way unless you confront them with a loud “excuse me” and that’s a gamble because they might try to start shit with you.

While driving people don’t move to the rightmost part of the street to get out of the way while making a right turn despite the right lane (usually) being super wide to allow for flowing traffic.

When ordering at a food establishment, people don’t decide what to order before/during the time they’re in line. Instead, everyone looks kind of annoyed that it’s taking so long but once they reach the counter it’s their turn to leisurely browse the menu, ask stupid questions, etc and hold up the line.

My motto is “don’t these people have anywhere to be? Anything to do?” I’m originally from the Midwest so it’s weird to me that people move this slow and act so clueless in an urban environment.

This is tough, because I used to be there but I kind of grew out of. I just started drinking tons of water all the time and now if when I get thirsty I just crave water.

I do drink two iced pour over coffees in the mornings though. They seem to keep me going for most the day caffeine-wise, so that’s helped a bunch too.

I use Linux utilities everyday on macOS as well as on my servers and networking equipment—I love it to death.

But when it comes to the end-user stuff, I’m deeply invested in Apple’s ecosystem. My personal laptop, work laptop, phone, Apple TV work pretty seamlessly together and I love that aspect of it.

What saddens me most is the drive away from native app development regardless of OS. Can’t stand Windows but if I’m using it I want the applications running on it to match Windows’ design language the same as I do on macOS (Linux GUI looks awful on macOS) and Linux (depending on desktop environment).

More related to Linux though, I do tend to lean more toward BSD UNIX than Linux, but due to the lack of containerization and popularity it’s hard to make it a daily OS.

I’m dying to do this but the clients for Matrix on iOS and macOS look like trash, they’re either web wrappers or have that creepy Windows look.

I really wish I had the time to study Swift and native app development.

Eh, out of all my own traffic I’ve MITM’d it’s mostly been third-party SDKs in apps doing creepy shit.

Down to hate on Gulf of America but when it comes to privacy it’s debatable.

Irrelevant: Scared me for a sec, thought I had an IP leak as I VPN to Switzerland but remembered I explicitly allowed Maps to be routed through a US VPN.

I wrote that “Gulf of America” is only used by an authoritarian regime and “not widely used.”

Ha, me too! That’s exactly what I do!

I find it embarrassing to carry fast food (or any restaurant food that isn’t considered healthy) from my car to my apartment.

I work from home and my neighbors know that. I don’t get out much and don’t really eat out often either but I don’t want to be the guy that’s seen as carrying tons of premade food back home.

I know it’s rather silly.

I’ve had these losers DNS blocked for years. Don’t respond to abuse reports? Get NXDOMAIN’d.

When it comes to email I just have my server reject any containing links that point to URL shorteners. I’m not stupid enough to click them anyway but it’s safe to assume you’re just a scammer or some other lowlife, even if you’re otherwise considered a reputable business.

There’s https://mujico.org/

I’ve seen some of the nicest vehicles on the planet waste everyone’s time doing this stupid maneuver and I’d gamble they all had rear cameras too.

I’m on this level about it: https://matthewdicks.com/2016-8-1-backing-into-a-parking-spot/
