Do not rely on the built-in password managers to keep your passwords safe. Use a purpose-built one like Bitwarden to generate unique ones, save and complete them, agnostic to the browser. Virtually every stealer out there can easily grab the built-in password db’s content.

Makes sense. It’s an advertisement platform.

Ehh, fuck Verkada in the neck with a rusty screwdriver. Their cold-calling and borderline-harassing sales tactics earned them a permaban in my org’s email filtering and phone system.

Except it hasn’t. Inflation-adjusted prices for commonly-referenced foodstuffs (eggs, milk, bacon, and coffee, for example) are actually steady since 1995.

Things feel expensive in part because human perception over time is a frail thing and we can remember (for example) that when we were younger, gas was $1.20 a gallon. Of course, that was when I was in high school and making minimum wage, which was $3.05. Adjusting both those to inflation (in 2023 dollars), that’s $3.76 for the gas (spot on) and $9.95 for minimum wage (which is a bit short of the current federal of $7.29 $7.25 (typo) , although 29 states have set higher minima, the lowest of which is $9.95)

This isn’t intended to make anyone feel any better. The big problem is the absolute insane record profits and consolidation of wealth into an equally insane number of billionaires. Those are the forces we should be lining up with knives and forks against.

And contrary to the “both sides” argument, there’s one side that wants to take absolutely everything for themselves and create a Christo-fascist theocracy, continuing to hoard their gold like Smaug; and another that, while still upper class and definitely not perfect, does try reduce world suck. Choose wisely.

Edited to correct typo thanks for the correction

and all I wanted was healthcare reform (single payer, etc) which we didn’t get.

Manchin and (especially) Sinema made that impossible.

*according to a couple of breathlessly recited outlier polls.

A year is a lifetime in politics, and again, those few polls were statistical outliers.

While I completely agree that people need to get active now and beat down the apathy, focusing on flawed data and developing a defeatist attitude probably isn’t good for the soul.

From the article, only the US and New Zealand allow Rz drug advertisements.

Advertisers Don’t Want Sites Like Jezebel to Exist::The ‘Brand Safety’ and ‘Suitability’ industries have financially crushed the news business by keeping ads away from articles that its ‘sentiment analysis’ algorithms think will make people sad or upset.

Anger and outrage are different than sad and upset though.

The New Teams™ is much better about resource utilization (on pc anyway) - like by 60% both active (video conference) and whilst idle (background).

Not trying to simp for MS or anything, the previous version was a shitshow. It really did everything my company needed for HIPAA compliant communication, but damn, did it suck ass doing it. New Teams is supposed to be the default for all instances March '24.

Railing5132 ,

Yeah, maybe try building an OS designed to be secure by default.

Setting aside the conflation of “5 minutes” to “5 seconds” for a bit just to say: setting up ReVanced is a gigantic pain in the ass. I’ve only ever been on the android platform. I’ve sideloaded apps. Also been in the technology industry for almost 3 decades. The documentation is dog shit. The official user forum r/revanced, (iirc) is a fucking circlejerk. Their own faq and top pinned “definitive install guide” post is out of date and just plain wrong. Down thread, whenever someone has questions (inevitably, because the documentation is fucked (see previous)), some smarmy asshat has the audacity to direct the confused newb to the same flawed docs.

I swear, fanatics are their own worst enemies. Now, I’m not saying you’re a fanatic. But sideloading that app in 5 mins (or seconds, depending on which sentence you’re relying on)? Yeah, bullshit.

Railing5132 ,

Revanced forums are straight-up toxic. Any setup questions are smugly redirected at the unusable documentation, as you pointed out. For some reason, there’s an elitist attitude in that group.

Railing5132 ,

What the shit?!? Where does this live?

I’ve been using Sync since The Great Exodus. One feature I like is the “everything across the fediverse” view, but I’m not seeing that so readily in Connect.

Edit: oh, and thanks BTW for the link. Foggy brain searching for just “connect” didn’t work so good.

Well, the Italian government is going full-on neo-fascist, so it’d probably be a wash, but the food would be so much better!

These will not see the light of day until the industry coughs up enough money to buy off enough legislation oversight to make the FAA egress rules “agreeable”.

“would not be in that position”?!? What version of reality are you smoking where these seats are gonna freaking move to vertical?

Edit: on further inspection, you’re gonna go full ATM if you sit upright. You’re so low to the floor to accommodate the upper decker that your knees would be in your chest cavity if they were on the floor. Frack every bit of this idea in the neck, sideways, with a screwdriver.

Have you ever been in an airliner? “upright an locked in their vertical positions” - ever heard that? Putting goddamned laz-e-boys in the middle of an airliner is gonna lead to corpses in the event of a catestrophoc accident. (not that it would stop the airline industry, if it could)

Railing5132 ,

The moment of inertia on that upper deck is going to snap those seats like a twig. While I’m sure there’s airline execs foaming at the mouth and lobbyists pushing wheelbarrows of money, I’ll drive before I get in one of those.

Also, more passengers plus less overhead bin storage means less cargo hold capacity, meaning air cargo (a valuable income stream, particularly on transcontinental or transoceanic flights, where the widebodies would be most used) would be cut back by more checked bags. And more discontent by pax that now have to pay for checked bag fees.

I dunno, I just don’t see the benefits.

I went through an online escrow company when I sold some for my work. It’s really the only way both parties can be assured that they get their agreed tender and IP. Can’t remember the name of the company though.

If convicted of any of the numerous crimes he’s charged with, this man and his co-conspirators represent a palpable danger to democracy and should never be able to get near the levers of power again.

As it stands, the public should recognize the danger he and his ilk have already demonstrated on the world and domestic stage and relegate them to a bad memory.

I’m a bit confused by the part: “but their solution is a totally different product”. Doesn’t Veeam have just an additional SKU to add in the 365 connector?

That’s been a refrain among the great plains dwellers since I was a kid and the term “global warming” was first ideated. Every winter, some chucklefuck would “lol, I’d like some of that global warmin’ right about now!”

And they still do it, while complaining about persistent summer drought diminishing crop yields, bitching about government “handouts”, and being the biggest recipients of them in the form of farm subsidies to produce corn that gets shoved into high-fructose corn syrup and spiking morbid obesity across the entire country.

On the flip side, the world found out there was a big hole developing in the ozone layer, determined that it was a Bad Thing™, figured out the cause, and came together to reverse it for the betterment of humanity. Raising awareness of the problems with CFCs was a big part of that. Did each individual with a can of hair spray or a freon-based air conditioner have to make the conscious choice to select different products? No, but public sentiment and market pressure eventually became overwhelming and global accord was realized. (greatly simplified for brevity).

Subscription fatigue is real. Went to a PF Chang’s yesterday and the host’s desk had a sign inviting guests to sign up for their subscription to “preferred customer” service, something like $40 a month, to get ‘priority seating’ and drink specials. Screw that!

Professor Farnsworth: “Good news, everybody!”

From an interview on a right-wing talk radio show. Context clues are important. Dude’s lucky he didn’t say anything more stupid that couldn’t be backpeddled like this was.

And as for ‘turning himself in’, it’s pretty suspicious that another city employee who was responsible for reviewing the footage also reported it up the chain of command, but the city couldn’t determine who did it first.

But yeah, let’s trust his version.

I wouldn’t count on the 14th argument. There’s going to be so many lawsuits flying around they’re going to have to put a jetway at the Supreme Court, and Alito, Kavanaugh, Thomas, and whatsherface will tie themselves in knots to force that shitstain back on us.

I think a better option would be stripping the tax exempt status from the ones that politik from the pulpit. Actually enforce the law we have now instead of being afraid of looking like we’re persecuting them. Hell, they all have that complex already anyway.

Taxing them all would just open the floodgates.
