with every fucking install on every machine. for years.

Multiplied by all the other annoyances you have to turn off, via either gui or about:config, each and every time. I feel you.

I hop machines fairly frequently, use multiple browsing profiles, and often create discardable profiles, so I eventually just went ahead and spent some time tracing all the about:config equivalents of the settings that I typically change every time and then put them in a user.js file that I can just drop into my profile directory.

US defaultism much?

This is absolutely not a thing where I live and it sounds quite entitled to expect this level of personal service from an underpaid and overworked worker who's probably already overbooked and struggling to finish his round on time.

Here a delivery driver will come to the street facing door of a building, and attempt to deliver with you in person, or if you live up high you can buzz him in to put the package in the shared entrance space, but he's not going to go on a lone quest to gain access to every single private multitenant building. You're not home, and haven't given permission to deliver to your neighbors? Tough shit. Come pick up the package at the depot.

They don’t want to deal with pushing the buttons to enter the premises

Why should they have to though? It's not a delivery driver's job to jump through various hoops to gain access to a private residence, and that's not even going into the liability and safety issues that come with it.

Also, why even bother having a door code if you're giving it out to every random delivery driver.

You can protect yourself from that with airgapping and backups. The bigger issue is probably that it's becoming increasingly hard to source parts for such old hardware.

The kid's like: I don't even like drawing all that much, but I don't want to disappoint my mom.

You can give me any file, and I can create a compression algorithm that reduces it to 1 bit. (*)

When you run out of characters, you simply create another 0 byte file to encode the rest.

Check mate, storage manufacturers.

sudo wifi-menu --happiness

Invalid option: --happiness
Usage: wifi-menu [-h | --help] [-o | --obscure] [INTERFACE]

I guess happiness is not an option 🙁

Does this mean they should make x50 or more than the average worker ?

x50?

Pigboy gave himself a $193 million bonus. Do you think the average reddit worker made $3.86 million?
