Isn’t that just the boot loader you’re still writing to some specific part of the disk for the CPU to find?

Ping me when you circle back to this, we might surface more examples granted we’ve still got bandwidth for it.

If you’re on a desktop (Linux/UNIX/Windows) computer you could probably just add it to your HOSTS file though you’d get TLS warnings. Maybe host an HTTP-only web server serving the redirect to the correct domain.

Having attempted to install Linux on an ARM device I think the real answer boils down to how ARM works. You could have UEFI or a BIOS but more likely the CPU will scan for data at specific offsets toward the beginning of the disk for a bootable kernel.

I’m an American but used to have roommates from all over the world and I’ll never forget how absolutely disappointed they were with McDonalds, Burger King, etc.

Though I’m in Los Angeles so there are plenty of incredible hamburger places (far too many) if you’re seeking it out.

Quorn has always been pretty nasty in my experience.

Huh? This would be stupidly much better; I live near a KFC and the cockroaches outside, the dead animal smell and just the grease in the surrounding area is atrocious. I wish they’d knock that shit down and sell real food rather than the mechanically separated, likely tortured animal carcasses they dump on the public. How morally bankrupt or tuned out do you have to be to eat in these places?

You really named probably the only video editing software that isn’t using ffmpeg somewhere.

Pretty much daily working from home in southern California. My dogs and I get pretty antsy without fresh air and noises.

Exactly my take. Just stop watching that trash.

I have some DNS blocklists for blocking Google outright that take care of the problem pretty well.

I just put people’s names in my phone as their actual first and last name; if I call them something else I put that name in the nickname field.

Super basic “skill” to do this. 😒

Ugh, I love barbecue but the kind most people buy is like 90% sugar.

Mr. Robot is one of my all-time favorites and my most recent favorite was Mr. Corman.

Personally I’d really like to see more servers physically located in privacy and free-speech friendly places like Switzerland and Iceland (for example). I’m not sure why you’d want to have your social media hosted anywhere else.

I don’t want to say it’s as bad or worse but the capitalization of every word in the question is kind of gross too.

I’m divided on this. I happily pay streaming services for ad-free plans but I’ve never been so into YouTube that I’ve wanted to pay for it. I have it blocked outright anyway (part of my “fuck Google” blocklist collection).

Same here! I started sprinkling in JavaScript from copy and paste snippets you’d find all over the web and eventually I moved on to PHP (for a small while) then Ruby on Rails.

I’m a web developer and whenever I see my (awesome) mechanic I always wonder what it’s like on the “other side.”My dad was a mechanic when I was a child and I always regret never picking up those skills.

A lot of times when they run me through their problem-solving I’m like “damn, that’s just like reproducing a bug to find its root cause.”

Fuck I hate being male sometimes. What swamp do these skeezy sexist MAGA guys crawl out of?
