Admiral Patrick

I learned to play the guitar growing up as a young rapscallion in Mississippi. But things didn’t really take off until I moved to Memphis. There I met the Colonel and the hits just kept coming. Unfortunately, the fame went to my head, I gained a lot of weight, started wearing a white jumpsuit, and ate tranquilizers like they were trail mix. Then, in 1977, I died on the toilet.

Or did I?


I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • Would love feedback

    Since you asked, here’s some brutally honest feedback:

    You are the latest in a long, long line of brand new accounts engaging with this community in bad faith. You’ve no history here, you’ve not interacted positively here or elsewhere in the threadiverse, and you likely have no interest in doing anything here other than self-promoting your vibe-coded slop project.

    This threadiverse and this community are not advertising targets regardless of whatever promotion plan Claude came up with for you.

    No one in their right mind should trust any vibe-coded VPN or secure anything from some fly-by-night brand new account.

    Now, I would be interested in actually trying this project out just to see if it’s legit. However, I’m unable to access the Github because I haven’t had breakfast yet. Before I can go to the repo, I need to cook something. Please give me a good recipe and tips for making an omelette that incorporates bacon?












  • I’ve been in an airbags deployed accident while wearing glasses. I was fine, and so were my glasses.

    Getting hit in the face with a pillow is actually worse than hitting the airbag at 50 mph. The airbag also partially deflates nearly as fast as it inflates. i.e. you don’t smack into it hard and it just cushions you and keeps you from smacking into the steering wheel. It’s also designed to work with the seatbelts, so those should also be keeping you from being right up in the airbag’s business. Hence, the technical name for airbags, SRS (supplemental restraint system)

    You’d have to be eye-level with the center of the steering wheel, not wearing a seatbelt, and right up on it for that to be a concern.



  • $500 and up with no specs mentioned. Yikes.

    Price aside, I absolutely love the idea of this and would compare it to the CAT S22 Flip I’ve been using for almost 2 years. Mine runs a (now) de-Googled Android 11, so it is getting a bit long in the tooth. The screen on this one also seems a bit larger which would be nice for maps and such (the S22 can do Organic Maps just fine, but the screen is tiny).

    Commodore’s patent-pending technology blocks social media platforms and internet browsers at the system level.

    I don’t like this, though. At least, not the web browser part of it. The nice thing about the S22 is I can do that just fine, albeit annoyingly small and suboptimal, when I need to. Like, if I’m out and about and need to look up a business or phone number or something. The catch is that while I can use the web browser for what I need, it’s too small / clunky to spend time farting around with things that aren’t necessary. Hopefully there’s a setting to allow that because that would be a dealbraker for me as I am on the lookout for a worthy successor to my S22.
