Your positive experiences with this, do not mirror mine. I have one 4K main display at 200% scaling, and an old 19" off-screen I use for IRC and music playback at 100% scale. Every time I wake my machine, the windows from the off-scree

>The only thing the executives at reddit care about is revenue and hence impressions Oh please. If that was true, they wouldn't have banned TheDonald, especially so close to the election. That sub drove a huge amount of traffic.

At this point, does anyone take user submitted reviews seriously any more? I mean for anything.

I can't get this to work, because my SSID is the poo emoji. I'm not sure what character encoding QR codes use, and I haven't really bothered trying to debug this.

A 200USD/hr person would make before lunch, what I get paid in a month. This thread makes me want to kill myself.

This is terrible news. I hope they keep the PHP version up to date, or someone forks it. I've used Owncloud over Nextcloud, because it seems more focused on just file syncing, which is all I want. Maybe it's time to migrate.

Another dane here: Despite this, the horn is used just as much as a fuck-you-horn as anywhere else. I doubt anyone has ever gotten a fine for it, except maybe if they had been really obnoxious with it next to a police officer.

>Is the solution to just give up on blocking phishing sites? IMHO yes. It's too much power for one company to wield. And especially a company with such questionable morals as Google. This cure is worse than the disease.

Ease of use depends on your computer literacy, I think. For me it involves pasting the IMDB ID into a fairly popular public torrent site (eg. tt0095560) and feed the magnet link to Transmission running on my storage server. When it's d

Not yet, but it's CloudFlare who doesn't exactly have a stellar record when it comes to censorship.

>“This was used in an attack” is a bullshit excuse to banish something. Remember when the Christchurch shooter streamed his rampage on Facebook? Why hasn't Facebook been banned yet?

This is true. I talked with a fellow electrician friend of mine: At his job they're organising their on-call rotation via Facebook. I was horrified. Refusal to use Facebook in this situation would be very difficult. I very much suspect

I bought a car (Citroën) a few years ago, and told the dealer I wanted it so the rear lights would always be on. They configured whatever doohickey is responsible for that, and made sure to charge me for it. But now the rear lights are alwa

This is brought up every time this subject is discussed. Is a burner phone a normal thing that regular people have? But no, I don't have a burner phone. I'm not going to buy a phone and a SIM just as some kind of non-solution to t

The fact that Google and Facebook are doing so well, is proof that people generally do not care about privacy.
