And of course it ends in this 😩
Remember how it all started? It was puppies and kittens — kinda fun, and for hCAPTCHA it still is, it's just that kittens are now NN-generated, sometimes it's teapots — still, in a way, pleasant objects, not something they would use for self-driving cars.

Fuck bicycles! And fuck motor cycles! But first of all, fuck ReCAPTCHA — I've just filled about 40 of them except for those two damn things, I'm pretty sure I did so correctly, and it still won't let me in! I think it just uses me to train its NN using those things as an excuse 🤬

@iska I'm not a window cleaner!

@yukiame
Is this Zuckerman vs. Musk thing? I'm not placing my bets unless it is a fight to death 😈

@iska Is this common nowadays or is it just the model that you have recently bought? It's sad if it's the former.
Why not WRT3200ACM or something similar then? They are still pretty decent spec-wise (unless you need 100Gbps wireless or whatever they have these days — doesn't make any sense to me 😄), have lots of ports and should be well-supported by OpenWRT?

@thatguyoverthere Problem is, modern protocols and even hardware require a lot of workarounds to function properly in real world scenarios, but linux kernel had already accumulated a sizeable momentum in this regard, which makes it a more attractive choice to most, despite it being an absolutely horrible piece of garbage 🤷
@iska

@thatguyoverthere I think it's really good from design (not UI design though 😅) perspective, which makes it attractive for those who want to build things from the ground up — problem is, there are few people like that, most are interested in using something that is only slightly better than what they already have.

Get! Get our app! It's the best app ever… don't you GET it? 😂

@p
They did the same to Windows Phone though, despite it being really good — the only good thing to come out of MS in years. They are pretty consistent at killing off good things and remaining persistent pushing the worst bullshit imagineable 😄 @11112011 @kirby @MisterRogersSnapped

@GhostOnTheHalfShell
I think fire is a lot more common "in the wild" than EMP, but the point is still valid 😅
However, as @lispi314 has noted, the problem is not the medium itself, there is tech for long-term digital preservation, but it's seldomly used at present.

> what *does* discord offer people that it is so popular?
"Everyone does that, so why don't we?"
I think it's the status quo, when the question of organizing as a community arises, there's a person who can do it using Discord as he/her has already done that in the past. Discord isn't hard to use, most are more comfortable using chats nowadays than they are with forums, and it's still better than using something like Telegram 🤷

> UART adapter and soldering stuff to flash openwrt on it
Wow! My Netgear had been flashable from its own web UI 🤷

@catto Well, it is slow-ish, it also acts as a seedbox and at times when some peer is using a lot of network (and likely disk) bandwidth I have to refresh a couple of times to see my notifications. But it's still okay for a single-user instance. For some reason PowerPC Macs were way better operating low on RAM. Even running several heavy applications in Mac OS X was bearable on 1 gig, equally specced Intel Mac is unpleasant to use 🤷

@catto The MacMini my Peloorma instance runs on originally had Transistor's Red figurine sitting on top of it (together with her portrait next to it), but one of my cats took a habit of jumping up there to "do cat things" — you know, pushing stuff off the cabinet, so I had to hide her 😅
