hops just have to be closer.

It doesn't take much of a leap of imagination to see a torrent-like system utilizing all available devices within earshot to spread the bandwidth around to realize a pretty fast system available nearly everywhere in dense urban areas and slower (but ubiquitous) coverage the more rural you get. Obviously we're far away from that now, but this definitely seems like the future to me.

I believe this stuff is going to be huge. Reticulum, Lora, Meshtastic all bit players now in a drama that has yet to get a finished script. It will start out as a supplement to the Internet, allowing you connectivity even when your Internet falters and as it becomes more ubiquitous, it will be increasingly used/usable and increasingly important. It can't be shut down, it can't be controlled. A country would literally have to ban radio signals of any kind in order to shut it down. It's free. Buy the hardware, use the network, because you are the network. I love this.

haha Republicans are such morons. They voted for a health care industry executive as their "standard bearer" because of course they did. Not this this shitbird would have been better, just sayin'.

"Ol' fatfingers" Caligula they called him.

I still use it, it's great. Unlike FBM, you can actually search for things and use filters and have saved searches that notify you when someone posts something that triggers a saved search. Facebook intentionally gimps their "find" functionality so you have to scroll through generic categories and look at a thousand things you don't want just to find the one thing you do. This is because it keeps you on their site - everything about Facebook is such a fucking turd sandwich.

Craigslist's problem is they just don't do anything but exist as near as I can tell. They don't update their UI (which I actually appreciate). They allow people to post the same listing every fucking day which is super annoying. They do nearly nothing to deal with scammers and bad user behavior (like storefronts claiming to be individuals) and rather than deal with that, people just left because Facebook might suck but most of the people on it who might contact you are at least verifiable.

So Craigslist is kind of threadbare, but there's still a good bit of stuff on it. If you do saved searches that trigger emails and you're patient, you can often get what you want (although I frequently update saved searches to exclude the idiot savants reposting every day).

I feel like it's becoming a bit more popular again now that OfferUp and all their ilk have, believe it or not, shit the bed even worse.

Probably better to be able to just hide your plate at will.

Except insurance has basically decided it doesn't need to actually pay for the most part.

I'm in the "been working with Linux since the 90s" gang so I call vim vi and nano pico and when I started there was a coolness factor to be considered. I was incredibly uncool so I used whatever I wanted, including pico - I mean you used pine for email back in the day and the interface was nearly identical, so whatever.

But I did want to be at least a tiny bit cooler, so I learned vi in a fairly rudimentary fashion. I can edit, jump, delete, search, replace, copy and paste - oh, and I can exit. I've spent so much time using vi, that my brain doesn't even have to think about exiting, not even whether I want to write or not. It just happens like second nature. It's actually gotten to where nano seems unduly burdensome to me.

But really, I prefer an IDE for programming. CLI editors will always be for configuration files and shell scripts to me.

They need to be taxed 100% until they are no longer billionaires (or, even better, run out of the country because they want to dodge said taxes). Any country that values its autonomy better take fucking heed.

These review services should create a score based on your reviews that you have to maintain. In a 5-star system, that would be a 3. If the sum of all the stars you have awarded divided by the number of reviews you have published falls below 3, then you can only submit reviews that will bring that score up, until it is back to 3, then you can do whatever you want again. This will encourage users to think more carefully about shit they use that they like as much as shit the use that they don't like and that works better for everybody.

Say what again! I dare you. I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more goddamn time!

Oh man, I hope they do the hell out of this.
