Nobody’s violating your rights by publishing an update to the software they provide. If you don’t like it android gives you an option to freeze apps at a particular version. You can let go of your pearls now.

You would not. In the example given 169.254.1.1 doesn’t even exist, no machine is listening on that address so it couldn’t possibly do any good if it wanted to

Setting the default gateway is unnecessary for a network of peers that are already on the subnet. It can only lead to problems as the hosts try to send every request outside their network to 169.254.1.1, which doesn’t even exist in this scenario

The poster you’re replying to is suggesting a static IP in the apipa range, not an apipa assigned ip. You’d already know a static IP because you set it yourself.

The “old internet” hasn’t gone away. It’s easier than ever for your average person to set up their own website. Look at all the shit you can do with WordPress, usually for free and usually with minimal technical knowledge or experience. Reddit/Facebook/Google/etc have done nothing at all to prevent people from doing that. The people still choose reddit/Facebook/google. I don’t know we’re supposed to change that without actually removing people’s freedom of choice.

I can’t imagine why lol

My guess is sociopathy. Same with politicians.

The psychopathy. This isn’t unique to CEOs, it applies to nearly anyone in a position of power since the dawn of time.

It was a server for an irl streamer so I expected it to be toxic. I did not expect that level of toxicity. A bunch of untreated sociopaths.

I reported a server where the users harassed, both online and offline, a trans woman who later killed herself. Then they made memes about her death. Discords ‘safety team’ suggested I talk to the server admin (who was part of the abuse) and closed the ticket.

When I lost my job over the summer I put my resume on dice and immediately had 3-4 guys with Indian accents calling me every day. I found a new job within a week. I still get emails and texts though, can’t put the genie back in the bottle

Oh yeah? Well your butt smells LIKE A BUTT

Today, history was made. For the first time someone politely admitted they were wrong on the internet

CAN-SPAM is effective for legitimate businesses with something to lose. Several times I’ve ended up on a list with an unsubscribe link that doesn’t work (looking at you, Walgreens). I contact their support, and if they don’t do anything I send them an email demanding they remove me and cc’ing the federal trade commission and my states attorney general. Hasn’t failed yet.

Apple does have really nice boxes

Thinkpads are locked down, the bios will refuse to boot if you install a non-Lenovo wifi card.

Those are called children

Did you just reinvent radial tires and retreads?

It’s not a TV though, it’s a streaming box. If they ever do make an actual TV that’s going to be really confusing.
