Pinterest uses different domains for every country so you'd need to add around a dozen qualifiers to get the big ones excluded.

Determine the type of behavior that likely indicates a server is shared with many different people, which should be extremely easy, then send that user a series of warnings culminating in banning their Plex account if they don't comply

If anything it's underhyped, in that the technology will be foundational to how we do work and sort through tremendous data volumes in the future. The pushback is simply that these giant companies haven't found any clear way to mo

Yes, it's become an arms race. However it seems like it's one YouTube can't win, due to some limitation in their process flow. You'd think it would be trivial, just don't send the video if the user hadn't first

I know it's generally accepted that "the guy on the street" doesn't care about privacy, but honestly this seems a step too far even for such accepting souls. I guess Musk superfans may go for it, but everybody else? Just

Kind of a brilliant compromise, actually. By default it's a declarative content-blocker, but if you run into a specific site that shows ads you can enable the full-fat uBlock Origin featureset there.

So it's just the TOR browser with TOR disabled? Thing is, you could do that anyway. It did take setting a couple environment variables, no GUI method, but easy enough to do. Unclear what value Mullvad's version provides. Feels lik

Hopefully this fails in the inevitable litigation. I could come up with 5 better solutions off the top of my head. Luddite politicians, sigh.

Yep, used proximitron for adblocking for many years, then switched to admuncher (system-wide low-level adblocking for Windows) and then to uBlock Origin for browsers in conjunction with AdGuard Home DNS-based adblocking for my entire LAN. P

I don't necessarily think his plan to turn Twitter into WeChat for the west is /doomed/ to fail, although it seems highly unlikely to gain traction, but it's certainly a bold plan to turn the flailing social network arou

Looking past the Elon hilarity, I'm all for moonshots, a bold move investing in the next big thing. Trying to transform Twitter into WeChat for the west seems unlikely, to say the least, but has nothing to do with this announcement. Th

Strongly disagree. Multi-line rows in particular have been missing from Thunderbird (and ONLY Thunderbird) for 20 years. That is not an exaggeration, Outlook had them 20 years ago. People expected this feature, 20 years ago. I myself posted

I have engaged with it. They definitely aren't receptive and development moves excruciatingly slowly, but I wouldn't attribute that to being negative so much as strictly limited resources. Thunderbird is what it is; if you find it

After 20 years I'm still amazed they finally got multi-row listings working. I honestly never thought I'd see the day. New Thunderbird development is glacially slow, but to their credit they have kept the software functional and

LXD is fantastic software, makes spinning up VM-like containers extremely easy. I used it for several years before moving to proxmox for a more mature manageable solution. Agree it would be vastly more popular and interesting if it didn&#x2

From my own company, I can definitively say that even if Alma/Rocky don't figure out a way to continue providing quick updates, we certainly won't start paying for RHEL. Discussion is ongoing right now between Debian, SuSE, a

Speak for yourself, I blocked TV ads since 1999 when I bought a TiVo series 1.

Much longer than that! The first really user-hostile move was pop-up ads, then pop-UNDER ads, which were just offensively intrusive, so bad that all the browsers stopped them. Then the advertising industry started to innovate, and it became

Nobody knows why some people are obese and some aren't. It may start with willpower and then reinforce metabolism, sure. Or maybe you caught a virus when you were two years old that disposed you to be fat for life. Or for whatever reas

Semaglutide costs around $300/month in Canada; that is the "right price", for now anyway. In the US it retails around $1200/month due to insurance company shenanigans. What we need in the US is a) Medicare/medicaid

Obviously that is true, but that isn't how insurance companies think. Imagine you're an obese 45 year old man working in a professional white collar job. You'll likely continue working for another 20+ years and switch jobs 1-

It is absolutely magical, and I can say based on extensive blood work and a MRI that the changes were extraordinarily beneficial for me, personally. "Unhealthy weight loss" is a stupid phrase. When you're morbidly obese and l

It won't get worse, that was my point. These peptides work. REALLY work. They just need to get cheaper. Another poster noted that it takes much longer to approve medications for children, so my 5 year prediction may well have been wild

They aren't approved /yet/, no. They do not require injections, there's a formulation already approved called Rybelsus that doesn't. Tirzepatide is roughly equivalent to gastric bypass. Most (not all) people that st

This study doesn't consider the very recent advent of weight loss medications that actually no-BS work, like semaglutide and tirzepatide. They're way too expensive right now but that will absolutely change. I wouldn't be surp

They totally did, as did many other acquired companies, but (AFAIK) Github didn't have "we won't sell your data" as a core tenet of the company carried off the mountaintop inscribed on stone tablets like Google. I'm

Same. I'm honestly shocked they're getting rid of the service. It's core infrastructure, cheap as chips to run, and binds people to using Google. Same reason why Microsoft hosts domains. You have your mail, storage, office su

I'm looking forward to a bright future when NVMe drives are competitive with magnetic disks and we can all afford to put 12 of 'em in a tiny silent box like this for blazing fast local storage. It'll happen! Also, bravo to As

Yes, I would prefer that. Give a year of notice then turn off the service. I can choose where to send my business next. And I am, I'm moving to Cloudflare. It's a superior service anyway and they support my TLDs. I never bothered

Squarespace is giving Google money, and in exchange they're getting my personal information so they can bill me. That seems extremely clear-cut. Not sure if you're talking about some obscure legality interpretation but in plain sp
