There are the small-medium business that use the standard slack EULA. Then there are fortune 100 businesses that negotiate their own licenses because they have the money and resources to do so.

My company has very specific BAAs with the major business apps and would be shocked if this even raises an eyebrow with them.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

This reminds me of the Sandy Hook depositions.

One of the admins for Infowars was being deposed and was asked, “How come, even with all the evidence showing that it wasn’t staged, did you keep pushing the narrative that it was?”

The woman took no pause and said, “Because it felt true!”

No reservation. No empathy. Just pure fear.

These people aren’t governing from facts. Which means that no amount of facts will deter them from their views.

No facts will convince them that they are wrong.

They are right. More importantly, they are righteous. And they will stop at nothing until they get their way.

That’s what makes them dangerous.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

I think there was a Law & Order episode where the defense essentially said they should be tried separately, but at the same time in different court rooms.

And the idea was that the defense made the facts show that the spouse did the crimes. They both got non-guilty verdicts because there was enough reasonable doubt.

I know L&O is fiction but I have to imagine someone has tried this and succeeded.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

I’m honestly very surprised that site is still around. Like digg.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

I’ll never understand how and why prisons and anything related are allowed to be privatized.

It starts with a government trying to balance its budget. It can’t cut schools because parents will get upset.

You can’t cut services because they are already cut to the bone.

You can’t raise taxes because that will just piss off everyone.

So…who can you piss off and they can’t vote you out?

Cutting the prison budget often doesn’t get headlines. But raising their budget often does and makes you “soft on crime”.

So it’s an easy target for budgets, especially at the local level.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

It’s out of a need/desire to “fix” what they see is wrong with society. They are angry that the world isn’t what they want it to be and will do whatever it takes, violence included, to bring us back to their version of what makes a good society.

They have been brainwashed by Fox News and other alt-right pundits. But before you feel bad for them, remember that they were racists before and Fox News, et al, just radicalized them into terrorism.

Why we haven’t labeled Fox News as a terrorist group yet is beyond me.

“If I can’t have nice things, then no one can.”

Or

“We’re going to force everyone to live the way I want. We’ll start over if we have to.”

CosmicTurtle0 ,

No.

The MAGA position is that they should not go to jail.

Jail is for blacks, trans, and the woke. Their enemies.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

I remember the transition from plain-text emails to HTML emails. I fought tooth and nail to keep my email fully plain-text because it offered almost 70-80% storage savings. This was when email quotas were measured in megabytes.

Then Gmail came along and made HTML the standard email because they offered 2 GBs of space.

The rest is history.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

We all know we shouldn’t.

We all still do.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Fwiw, AWS offers a one-time egress without charge in response to the EU order to allow people to switch cloud providers.

Once approved, we will provide credits for the data being migrated. We don’t require you to close your account or change your relationship with AWS in any way. You’re welcome to come back at any time. We will, of course, apply additional scrutiny if the same AWS account applies multiple times for free DTO.

So if you’re going to do this for that one time you have to, probably not a big deal.

But if I were you, I’d be prepared to egress, kill the account, and then create a new account.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

If it’s still in alpha, then a standard non disclosure should be fine.

A non-disparagement clause is overkill.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

If you read the reactions from banks, it’s sickening. They are threatening to raise fees elsewhere, or interest rates, to “make up for lost revenue” because heaven forbid they just make less money and be okay with it.

These companies make obscene amounts of money.

They don’t need that much money.

It’s sickening.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

When I lived in a condo, there was a cap on the total of units that could be rented.

Rentals required an additional administrative charge to the HOA, which essentially acted as a property manager.

Basically, it was so that people who had to move temporarily for extended periods (like being deployed) could keep their house.

Imo, it was a good compromise.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

There is a lot of selection bias here on lemmy. The majority of us are technical enough to either know where to find free streaming sites or torrent.

The large majority of customers aren’t.

It’s why these crackdowns work. They’ve done the math. They know they’ll make more money then they’ll lose.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Even with the arrs, jellyfin, et al, it’s still not a turn-key solution. Fmovies and the like are more “user friendly” as they don’t require any special software outside of knowing the URL.

Unfortunately, sharing those urls are often against website rules and you sort of have to learn them as you explore piracy in general.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

This doesn’t work for me. Regional hub is 20 miles from me. Two day shipping is now just "free shipping over $35 and takes a week to arrive.

I agree with your other points though. Amazon isn’t the cheapest option anymore. My local Walmart is actually better. I know Walmart is still a shit company but still…better in terms of getting what I need.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

My guess is that they liked someone else but didn’t like anyone in the group.

Or there are a lot of unrequited feelings in this picture.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

This exactly. My boss said the quiet part out loud the other day.

The CEO owns the building. He pays for the electrical, water, etc. All of that is wasted when only a handful of people come into the office.

So…he required all of us to be in the office so that his investment works out.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

I like how you wrote this so that if the command fails, it continues with the rest.

My other question is whether the numbers for HK protests are low because, well, it’s fucking China, and two that they weren’t out there to take names. They were there to destroy people’s will.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

The image had me at 100 frosted. I didn’t care after that.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Weird. Anytime I do that I get Rick rolled.

Canadian photographer Francois Brunell searches and photographs similar people, but who are not related to each other. He has currently done about 200 couple portraits.

Canadian photographer Francois Brunelle spent 12 years tracking down real life Doppelgängers — two individuals who are not related but could pass for identical twins — and photographing them. He calls his project “I’m Not a Look-Alike,” and it’s starting to get some well-deserved attention....

CosmicTurtle0 ,

People still do.

I can’t find the study but people over estimate whether someone looks familiar, especially in stressful situations.

There are people in prison right now because they look like the perpetrator.

Imma give you a guess as to the races of these people.

The wikipedia article on eyewitness testimony goes into more detail.

Rudy Guliani Blows Past the $43,000 Budget He Committed to in Bankruptcy Proceedings (www.nytimes.com)

That amount would cover, among other expenses, $5,000 in alimony payments to his ex-wife Judith Giuliani, $1,050 for food and housekeeping supplies and $425 for “personal care products and services.” He was also obliged to cover $13,500 in monthly nursing-home expenses for his former mother-in-law; she died in March....

He later provided more information to the creditors’ lawyers, listing 60 transactions on Amazon, multiple entertainment subscriptions, various Apple services and products, Uber rides and payment of some of his business partner’s personal credit card bill.

This is all the shit that conservatives give millennials grief for.

Stop eating avocado toast and going to Starbucks, Rudy.

The CC requires copyright holders to contact companies that violate the license and give them 30 days to remediate.

I highly doubt:

  • people who put the CC-BY-NC license in their comment will troll AI bots to see if their specific comments are being used
  • those same people can prove to the company that their comment was used
  • the company will actually take them at their word and remove their comments from their training data
  • even if all of the above are true, can afford an attorney let alone sustain that attorney through the case
  • even if all of the above are true, prevail in a court of law

I think people adding the license is fine. It’s your comment. Do whatever. I don’t think it’s as harmful as sovereign citizens using their own license plate for “traveling”.

why cant we connect 2 computers using USB

So i tried to connect steamdeck to pc using usb and i read its immpossible because steamdeck is a computer and some explanation on quora about strong master slave relationship. But then why is it possible for android phones to connect to pc whilist also having the ability to use USB and other usb c accesories. Also why cant it...

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Crossover cable.

I still have one around just in case but wifi makes it unnecessarily these days.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

It must have gotten better than the last time I tried to use Ventoy. Maybe 5 years ago? It kept complaining that the USB drive I was using was bad when it worked completely fine with other tools.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Looks like they aren’t the first:

Bolivia broke with relations with Israel at the end of October last year while several other countries in Latin America, including Colombia, Chile and Honduras, have recalled their ambassadors.

Recalling ambassadors is a huge deal. I don’t know if Israel has followed suit or if those countries will expel existing diplomats.

There was a porn video of a popular French girl saying “Oui” over and over again.

It sounded so funny that I couldn’t nut. Then I did.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Lupus has entered the chat

They obviously installed it in a laptop and closed the lid before they were finished.

The only company that can compete with YouTube is pornhub. People have been begging on their hands and knees for them to enter the hard space. It’s fertile territory, with lots of the kinks worked out. I really hope they spank YouTube in the nuts and give it a go.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

There was a sheriff or police chief that refused to administer narcan on overdosed people because “they aren’t doctors”. I’d be willing to bet good money that he would have no problems giving sedatives to handcuffed people.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

If only he was allowed to nuke it.

If you’re entering a u/p along with a passkey, then it’s MFA.

There are only a few sites I know of that do passkey correctly. CVS works wonderfully on my phone. Requires a username and then the passkey on my browser.

My company is working on a passkey only for login and it’s really really slick.

You basically click “login” and then authenticate your passkey and you’re in.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Either with a pin or thumbprint

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Your passkey is an encrypted message that authenticates you, the service you’re trying to reach, and your computer.

If you go to a phishing site, the passkey won’t even come up because the browser doesn’t recognize the site. Granted a dumb user could still use their user/pass but ideally the user has MFA set up so they can’t get far.

The goal of a passkey is to replace username and passwords entirely so that phishing becomes less common.

The main issue with passkeys is that unless you have something like a YubiKey or an authenticator (like bitwarden), the passkey is tied to the browser which means if the device gets lost you can’t log in anymore.

Team Trump Is Ready to Lose the Supreme Court Immunity Case. They're Celebrating (www.rollingstone.com)

Donald Trump‘s inner circle doesn’t expect the Supreme Court to go along with his extreme arguments about executive power in the immunity case before the justices. But what the high court does now is almost beside the point: Trump already won....

CosmicTurtle0 ,

The problem is that it’s going to take years to argue this in court, years that this country quite frankly doesn’t have.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

It’s not about arrests. It’s about sending a message.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Black said his journey showcased the power of determination and the importance of health and family

So…he’s going to give away all his money now right?

Because he proved he can do it again.

Right?

CosmicTurtle0 ,

If he tells you, he’d be advertising and that’s against his religion.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Depending on where you’re going even IP addresses are getting to the point that they aren’t helpful. IP addresses are likely to belong to a cloud provider, and unless they are hosting email or a service that requires a reverse record, all you’d get is the cloud provider’s information.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

It goes further than that.

Sargent says something along the lines of, “We can’t tell people about this result. They’ll kill us.”

The entire film sets up the premise that NASA is hiding research about a flat earth. They are guarding the ice wall so people don’t see it.

Then they hide research showing the earth is round.

These people don’t care about science. They care about power.

It’s no accident that conspiracy theorists and conservatives have a considerable overlap.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

I did a rewatch not too long ago. Yeah the paid advertising is a bit cringe now but the show itself holds up very well.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Piracy is the solution when what you think you’re buying is not what you’re getting and the company that you’re buying changes the product without your consent.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

I know that this isn’t the point but I absolutely can’t stand the word “juice” to describe meat drippings.

Juice is from a fruit! When I see juice to describe meat drippings, all I can think of is someone squeezing a big steak and squeezing all the “juice” out.

Anyway, commit message is on point. Add a small pinch of flour to thicken the “juice” and you’ll have gravy.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Meat drippings.
