It’s a shame I’m not out in Westlake. Running into Louis Rossman at HEB would be fun.

We can’t all be Avis. (Orville references welcome.)

I’d counter that I trust my data going through Sweden ahead of letting an American conglomerate gain access.

I would counter that I’m saving $1,500 a month by living in a van. As a cost, the VPN is a rounding error.

I mean, I’m using Mullvad. I don’t have the hardware to host my own VPN in a van, so this is my best approach. Could I host Wireguard locally? Sure. With access to alternating-current power.

The dek gives the game away. The “future of the workforce” is all that matters. Why had we been doing all this gaining of knowledge in college all this time?

Are you sure you can’t? Because when my phone was stolen last month, I came to terms with how much the modern world needs one to have one.

Damn. Well, thus ends this excursion. At least I didn’t end up in Iran first.

Google allows you to save passwords across apps, whereas a password manager remains in the browser.

I’m fine with that timeline. The rollout in Austin hasn’t been the smoothest – though in faiirness, we now have so many Waymos in town that they keep having issues like knowing what to do when encountering an emergency vehicle. They aren’t going around killing people, but that’s a pretty low bar.

If swiping were effective, dating apps would have no business model, because people would pair off and cancel. This “revolutionary” change is being instituted solely for Bumble’s bottom line and can’t possibly be more effective because that would kill revenue.

Remember: The current crop of dating apps do not exist to help you find love. They’re extraction machines running off of FOMO.

Solar on a van has been my life for couple of years. Of course, now diesel’s expensive enough in Texas that fleeing will run $1/mile.

So, $5 per litigant after legal fees, assuming the DOJ doesn’t step in and claim to be the defendant.

It is left as an exercise for the reader.

“Just commenting” and then tearing down anyone who points out holes in your argument is not a conversation; it’s trolling.

My Lumia 950XL remains my favourite phone I’ve ever owned. Live Tiles were amazing. I just unlocked my phone and had a dashboard constantly providing new information as opposed to a little dot in the corner of an icon indicating activity.

If not for the app gap and discontinuation of the OS, I’d still be happily using it.

Surveillance is the goal. “For the children” has proven an effective red herring over the years.

Why in the everliving fuck would you give software delete access to your live backups? Like, in what scenario is this a solution?

Historically, college girls would make extra scratch via exotic dancing or other offline activities. Claiming this isn’t tech-related is disingenuous.

How is TikTok unrelated to tech?
