If you care about what's on the CDs/LPs it's not wise to tell so in the post 😏
Would you give you grandpa's collection to the one, who would put 90% of it in the dumpster straight away? It's common courtesy 🤷

@theorytoe @thegreatape Living in underground caves and having kids at the same time might also be not too comfy for most. But for some it might work 🤔

@ikezawa
Probably same holds true for Russian cute cat groups — first you tell them that cure cats should not say such nasty things as they have in their comic speech bubbles, then they respond with something about raping your cat and selling your kidneys to the highest bidder 🙀

@failedLyndonLaRouchite
The problem with this approach is usually this: you either treat your readers as the one who pays your bills or as cattle to show ads to, I'm not sure about NYT, but a lot of media outlets try to do both to make subscription affordable. Being the source of income AND the product they sell to their other customers at the same time makes you wonder — whether you should really trust them, maybe they are both bullshitting you and taking your money 🤔

@mjdxp Getting rid of Win32 software completely might have also been a good thing — the idea of running same apps on desktop, mobile, Xbox, etc wasn't bad at all. But of course the were indecisive and eventually killed off first their mobile platform and later UWP apps on others. And they have tried to "fix" the store which turned it into a complete clusterfuck, now it's a collection of poorly maintained UWP apps, ugly-looking Win32 ones and web apps that work in MS Chrome — worst of all worlds.

@mjdxp Cats sometimes just want your attention, also works for some humans — but I usually try to stay away from those 😹

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 🤬

> it will not be to the death
On a side note: don't be the messenger bringing sad news 😏

@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.

@catto @lamp
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.
