Been using Thunderbird for almost 20 years. It was good enough that long ago and it’s pretty awesome these days.

I already voted so I can’t vote for him either.

I stopped in today after months because my friend is launching a game and I wanted to give them a like and a comment. When I left Twitter my feed was just nerd shit and makers.

When I logged in today it was several right wing advertisements at the top. When I went to search it was more Trump shit. I just wanted to support my indie friend. That’s it for me.

I’ve had DataTraveller sticks since the late 90s/early 00s. Never given me a problem.

This is what I looked like back when I jammed with the console cowboys in cyberspace.

It’s a fucking shame that he has more money than god and couldn’t get someone to help him pick out a cowboy hat that would fit his face. Or tell him when it’s backwards. Or have it properly shaped. Or have it customized in any way.

I have no issue with someone wearing a cowboy hat who has never been near a ranch. I have no issue with people who don’t know what to do with one but want to wear one. They’re practical and can be stylish. I have a huge issue with someone who can afford to have an army of image consultants wearing it incorrectly to pander to idiots who are too cowardly to call him out on it.

Wait, it got made?!? Now I’m excited.

Ah, the ol’ Lemmy Pokeroo.

Every company I’ve worked for either gave us digital gift cards or, when I was a manager, let us charge meals specifically to our business credit card for a certain amount per month (team outings) without prior approval.

I use a VPN for the same reason I use the Internet. Porn.

I don’t know if you’re right or if you’re trying to sell me something, but you sound knowledgeable so I’m in. Where do I send my cash?

Yeah, but I need to know what the one after AI is going to be so I can get in on the ground floor.

Is that the MMO where they read Ready Player One and said “Yep, I’m ready to build a mesh peer-to-peer MMO because that means there will be no discernable lag for an infinite number of people, just like in the book”?

I’m considering stealing your comment and selling it to the highest bidder. How much ether do you think it would take to knock you out?

And ebaum’s world. And rotten. And something awful.

I never put that together with wardriving but that’s exactly what it is. Thank you for that.

Unrelated story: ~20 years ago I was in the military and broke as hell. I went wardriving in my neighborhood looking for open wifi and found a business not too far away that had it. So I built an antenna out of a coffee can, mounted it up just outside my window, and got free wifi for months.

There’s another reply further down that goes into specifics. I ain’t the one because I didn’t come with receipts and I’m just a drunk.

I wish I could go back in time to warn myself not to read this. The memory of receiving those (and other awful shit) is indelibly marked in my brain.

I do not know how true it is, but I’ve heard that some of them will create a mesh network if your neighbor has the same brand and it’s connected to the internet.

I’ve always meant to look into it but I have big dumb TVs that work for now.

How many cows do they own in East Texas?
