we should make halloween into the entire month of november the way the stores made christmas into the entire month of december

@aud oh webcams have always been a source of pain for me

there've been good ones for years but there never stopped being bad ones

@aud oh yeah see i just don't care about security :blob_tonguewink:

@aud yeah i guess i just haven't personally seen these kinds of bugs in years. i may just have gotten lucky, i don't buy computers often so i've really only had a handful of machines since the era when suspend was an unreliable mess

but yeah i've just not had a machine that couldn't suspend reliably since college, including random kinda old cheap laptops

some people seem to have strong opinions on this and i just don't get it

it's just "suspend, but worse", it's still shutting off power to a bunch of stuff, the only practical difference is whether it continues to refresh dram, why wouldn't you want that?

i don't get people who insist on powering their computer down (re: post complaining about the new mac mini having a silly location for the power button)

like i just don't get it, what do you get out of that other than longer boot times? i've been just letting my computers suspend when not in use for years, works just fine, makes my life purely easier with no drawbacks

the only time i reinitialize the operating system is when i reboot after an update (or, rarely, want to reboot into windows)
