Except the US isn't trying to make strong trading partners, its a side effect of the xenophobia and racism. If anything they are alienating anyone who would ever trade because every trade deal for something benign like, steel or whate

They mean good for everyone NOT the US. Because now say, Germany or France, or where ever, come off as a better place to immigrate, so other countries can build stronger more competitice businesses. This move, like everything the MAGA admi

If Bitwarden gets sold I am just going back to a paper notebook for passwords.

That should be the norm everywhere but one tribe's entire identity is being intolprant of people and things that ultimately have zero effect on them or anyone.

Yeah, except Twitter has no moderation anymore, in fact isnhas the opposite problem where people can pay to force their crappy views on everyone with blue checks. Twitter isn't the problem, Musk is the problem. Twitter was fine until

I don't know how people do it. I have been blogging for like 20+ years now sometimes regularly, sometimes with gaps. I am lucky if I get 5 visits per day.

It's going to depend entirely on the quality you are looking for. You don't have to go nuts like these people are talking about, you can store tons of movies in 4-10 TBs.

In addition to what the other commenter said, about Disney, I like to download Concerts and live tracks off Youtube, especially when they are early in the career of an artist I like, because you never know when the record company will try t

In most cases, it's not an "arbitrary world view", it's "reality."

Yeah, instead of being trained on 4chan Nazis like Tay was, Grok is trained on Twitter Nazis. Much better.

I think the problem os your perspective. Its more like, "Everyone needs to do X so that everyone can BE safer."

The impression I get in some cases, is less that it's the best choice, but more that a lot of companies have decades of data or systems all inter operating with it, and migrating things to something modern would be a nightmare but they

Same here. some 600k+ Karma and like 13 years on the platform and I completely quit when Baconreader broke. I added /r/gamedeals and /r/gamebundles and the Fortnite ststus bot to my RSS reader and that's all I foll

You clearly are not thinking like a level 4 manager who has a vague grasp of how the system works beyond "This costs $X per year, how can we make it $X-1 next year?"

I can't wait for the secondary problems cause by the limitations of "AI" understanding. We have had some consulting company of people managing these systems in some buildings, and they would basically turn off climate control

Musk had shown over the last year or so that he clearly has no idea how the web or websites work and probably thinks all those links will be magically updated because everyone loves him and wants to make his vision of stupidity be reality a

Probably but only because musk removed actual moderation tools and now spends 24x7 furiously refreshing the timeline to manually permaban anyone not sucking up to him.

Not really, even as a local, you can avoid the place and will probably never see them again. They won't remember you anyway if you did randomly cross paths at Wal-mart or whatever. And now they aren't getting paid enough, which g

Jobs is pretty notoriously a design OCD type. And he made a widely successful product that is often copied. These types tend to hate "ugly" things like text over "pretty" things like icons. And minimalism above all else

All this microblogging drama lately has really shown just how addicted manybpeople are to the popularity and attention engine. Its kind of sad. There were a lot of people saying they would leave when Musk took over. I have not been there

Mail isn't hard. There are several one click mail set ups for docker or a VPS. I ran Mail in a Box for years and never even had to look at it because it was all self updating, unlike my webserver, which I had to remeber to go update

The problem there becomes bandwidth. Its better, but upload speeds are still not great and sometimes I think that its intentionally done to help funnel people to using monitizable web services instead of just self hosting everything.

Support Chat: "Thank you for asking about [question], here is a [link to FAQ Page!" The FAQ Page: "Was this article helpful? If not, contact our support chat!" Endlessly. It's so stupid.

Sometimes I think this is the point. Like lately out cell service has been horrible at the house and my wife keeps asking me to call them but why? It's just going to be screaming into the void of some automated system and nothing will

This is one thing I kind of hate about Mastodon. And your example isn't even accurate to what is happening. Imagine signing up for @gmail.com meant you can't send to anyone at @outlook.com because like 2 users on Outlook said some

I like 2FA with an app, not so much SMS. I really hate all these other trends I keep seeing. Log ins only using Magic Links in emails, which is an ENORMOUS pain in the ass, and now I often have to log in to another service as well. Or this

I use a VPN anytime I am out of the house on my mobile, mostly because it obfuscates things when it comes to advertiser tracking and ISP snooping for advertising data. Better local access security on WiFi points is part of it as well, but

There are plenty of people, but most are in their own little niche groups. I've been coming back to SL off and on since 2006 or so. I think mostly I like creating and building and scripting things.

Last time I looked into it, which I do fairly often because Education Edition has some interesting features not in other versions, you need to be an educator to even get a license for Education Edition.
