These scam ads have been an issue for at least a year. I’m pretty sure they’re automated and there’s very little that can be done to trace them to their original sources. I’m sure if Mr. Beast did threaten to sue Meta, then they would just start filtering “beast” from ads.
After the X/XS/XR phones they went to the 11. If the XS was 10 then the X would be 9. It is a bit weird for them to do 8 and 9 at the same time, though.
No, the problem with Windows 9 is that a lot of things compared the version with 9* as a catch all for windows 95 and 98, so they were worried with backwards compatibility.
I’m absolutely at that point with Nextcloud. I kind of didn’t want to go the syncthing route, but I’ll probably give it a shot anyway since none of the NC alternatives seem any better.
Any guidance on this? I looked into Synthing at one time to backup Android phones and got overwhelmed very quickly. I’d love to use it in a similar fashion to NextCloud for syncing between various computers too.
It really wasn’t all that complicated for me. Install the client on two devices set a share up on one device go to the other device Hit add device put the share ID in. Go back to the first devices admin and say allow the share
Well, it works in a different way than NextCloud. You don’t have a server, instead you just make a share between your computers and they are all peers.
It takes some getting used to the idea, but it’s actually much simpler than NextCloud.
I was very intimidated as well, I’ll try to simplify it, but as always check the documentation ;)
This is the process I used to sync between my Windows PC and Android phone to sync retroarch saves (works well, would recommend, Pokemon is awesome) I’ve never done it on a Linux, though i assume it’s not too different
I downloaded the Synctrazor program so that it would run in the tray, again I’m not sure what the equivalent/if this would be necessary on Linux.
No shade to the writers, but the documentation isn’t super noob friendly, as I figured out. I’d recommend trying to cut out all the fluff, and boil it down to bare essentials. Download the program (whichever one seems right for your device, there’s an app for Android) and follow the process for syncing stuff (I believe I used a video guide, but it’s not actually as complicated as it seems)
If you need specific help I’d be happy to answer questions, though I only understand a certain amount myself XD
i have been running the new owncloud (ocis) and, with some quirks and very basic functionality, it’s been running for 2+ years and survived multiple updates without major complications
After setting up my own network, and trying to (kinda sorta) do it the right way (multiple SSIDs, vlan segregation, restrictive firewalls for iot, VPN to a VPS, etc.) — I have so much respect for network engineers. First month with my new router, felt like I “broke the Internet” every other day.
Or he could go it operations where every day is “a bad day to stop sniffing glue” because you are the only thing keeping the house of cards up while dev and network squabble over who’s foot cannon broke shit this time.
Networking has to be the most confusing and tedious IT work I’ve ever done. I still don’t fully understand all the basics of security. But by far the worst part is that troubleshooting can’t be done like normal programming. Network troubleshooting takes forever, and all you get is a working network. Network work feels so dull even I have a hard time seeing my effort.
No kidding. There’s no debugger. You can’t just set a breakpoint and see what’s going on under the hood. It’s more like playing Russian roulette and hoping you don’t bring the whole network down.
It’s messing with the wiring while it’s still hot and there often isn’t a better way to do it.
As a developer who knows enough about networking and servers to know when I’m out of my depth, I’m sorry for my colleague. If it’s any consolation we all think they are an idiot as well
I worked very briefly for a company that was hirable to push websites for SEO. It was basically all young underpaid contractors and interns even the HR team except for upper management who was all the same people from their previous big company running telemarketing bullshit.
So yeah just want to add the usual suspects definitely had a hand in the enshitification of the search engine as you might think.
I’ve got to wonder how your upbringing worked out when as a black and gay man you end up supporting trump. Over basically any alternative, including never voting and/or leaving the country entrirely. Both still far preferrable to subjecting yourself to the existential torture that is this, as per the article.
People are really good at supporting ideas that harm themselves.
Just see any country and any election ever. Hopefully they don’t win but you will always have a significant minority wanting to create a shithole for everyone themselves included.
When I see someone who is LGBT+ and or a minority support trump it reminds me of of the Association of German National Jews who supported Hitler before he got elected.
They offer no resolution, no recourse and no route to better ideas. It's just "My life sucks so because that my life sucks, I want everyone else's life to suck so I will make it so."
I find that’s often true, contrarians that wrap their identity around being the devil’s advocate or “changing things from the inside.” Bro… You’re not intelligent, you’re an asshole.
So gut instinct: he’s probably a misogynist first and black and gay come after that. It may not be correct but holy hell as a lesbian it describes a lot of the gay male conservatives I’ve met.
The more nuanced potential is that people don’t like being put into boxes or perfectly matching stereotypes. Additionally many people can’t read between lines even when it’s obvious. Trump went very hard against immigrants and Black Lives Matter protesters, and he has white supremacists supporting him and a history of anti black prejudices, but he’s never said that he hates black people. Similarly he’s ranted and raved about trans people, and he allies with people who hate gay people, but his words are not explicitly against cis gay people. So if he wanted to be willfully ignorant to declare himself as the special good one who won’t be boxed in by your preconceived notions of what he should be, all he has to do is not read the obvious messages between the lines and hope they go away.
Ummm ackchully the powdered wig look didn’t take off until the mid-16th century (funny enough, started because of the syphilis epidemic, a disease which came from contact with the New World) and was reserved for the wealthy elite at the time. Most sailors getting off the first boats would’ve just been wiry, deformed, and pock-marked hunchbacks ☺️☺️
See, I thought it was mildly infuriating because the images aren’t “many types of airplanes”, they’re only a few types of airplanes repeated at different sizes or different angles.
Or they don't give a shit and chips are cheap to make.
Just don't eat them all, hungry children in India or whatever your mother told you to get you to eat your green beans aren't starving just because you don't eat everything in front of you.
That’s a good option. I remember having a friend that ordered the kid’s size meal at certain restaurants because she didn’t eat that much.
What I used to do (and I know this isn’t an option for everyone) is that I took the leftovers home with me, or for later, no need to waste perfectly good food.
I do that at pizza places when it's an option. Sometimes a small pizza can be 1500 calories, that's too much. Kids will often be less oil and salt too which I prefer for health and taste reasons.
the problem is food cost is more often than not the least expensive cost of a restaurant. especially a fast food restaurant. So giving you a large Fri vs small. is so small for them it’s not even noticeable from their cost. their loss comes from two things the sizes and price difference are only their to get you to buy the one with the beter profit margin. small and medium are only there to make you feel like you got value from buying the large. it cost more for the card stock Fri container than it does for the Fries.
Bro.
How about giving people the option to pay less for smaller portions? Is that not allowed for some reason? I’m a small guy, and every restaurant I visit in the west pretty much charges me double and gives me twice as much food as I could possibly handle. It sucks when traveling, because I can’t exactly just take it home.
