But why would dental insurance cover can openers?
you ever try an open a can with your teeth. its not pretty. clearly preventative
do can openers look menacing?



i never thought the teeth were hollow… theyre like can openers… just there to make the hole, look menacing, and prolly not covered by your dental insurance.
well, remember mastodon is just a platform of the twitterverse side of the fediverse.
theres more than just mastodon! george takei (@georgetakei@universeodon.com) is a good one…i also enjoy the devils panties (@DevilsPanties@mastodon.sdf.org)


on mbin multiple link posts are displayed so i can pick which one across the verse has the most comment activity in which to partipate
ex:



ha yeah… its my own reddit hate-boner in the shape of a public fediverse instance

we can barely get adoption of nsfw tagging/metadata…
that said, this is prolly somewhat already trivial by setting an os/global environment var. and just having that bubbled up to the browser/app level. theres already paths for this to be used, but again… adoption is far more difficult than the technology required.


youll have the best luck by adding a nzb indexer… ive enjoyed nzbgeek
its cheap and has decreased my time-to-mediacenter drastically… the public torrent indexers kinda pale in comparison.
i like to have them all in there, but the usenet/nzb stuff seems to flow the fastest as theres generally more likely a matching file of %quality.

fuuuuuuuuccck no.
nextcloud gets more attractive by the day


ive been buildin ‘solutions’ like this for 30 years. what the llms have done is reduce my time to maybe a few minutes, and lowers the barrier to entry to the technically ignorant.
lowering that barrier still leaves a non-insignificant portion who want it bundled up and handed to them with a bow on it. plenty of people are happy to pay for a supported product and have no desire to attempt resolving the underlying issue/resource themselves.


but zmodem can totally restart an interrupted tx!

yep “medicaid fraud” is a really strange way for news outlets to say “political revenge”


entire nas (~24TB used) is replicated to another nas in another building (2 actually). i like having 3 copies.


your have parents that had anything to leave?
most of us dont get that far
my favorite mobile client is firefox


i really want this to be real…is there any confirmation of its validity?


did you take your meds today? it feels like you didnt.
fyi, he who dies with the most optimized machine does not win.
i looked into this awhile back… i think it was either vlc itself or maybe audacity
