In a possibly more pedestrian example, my organization needed a re-mailer service set up and found out that the IT worker previously tasked with administration for that service had the MFA set up for his personal phone. I think they eventua

Thank you, I must have misremembered.

Remember when Facebook (and Google, etc.) supported federated XMPP? I can't bring myself to expect any different outcome this time.

She also did not have more than 1000 patrons before the video push a few days ago. Which, particularly considering what must be substantial medical bills, is definitely not enough to sustain her family.

I'm sure there's a distinction, but this is an anecdote, and the above link is specifically another person's anecdote. My comment makes fine sense, if you want to say they are completely separate products, it's probably

I work for a small manufacturing company. I'm not going to blow up my company or my job over a decision I have next to no insight into that affects my job in such a small way.

My organization (which uses Teams) forcibly migrated all Firefox users to Edge a couple of weeks ago and uninstalled FF. They were citing incompatibility with some software and I assumed that meant the new ERP system being adopted by one of

Solzhenitsyn can find the value in his suffering, but most people would not accept the argument that Stalin was good for causing it. Similarly, it can be fine for Theresa to have found value in her own suffering, but it's a wholly diff

Don't forget to fuss around with package priority so it doesn't try to reinstall the snap when you're installing a deb package from another repo.

A similar project to this has languished for nearly a decade, if it is even still a going concern. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tres_Amigas_SuperStation

You can do this in Beta now as well.

This reads like you are suggesting that Calvinism is the same as early Christianity. There was no single organized Christian belief to speak of, and very likely what organization there was looked nothing like the church of 16th century Gene

All 5 points are just different facets of the belief in predestination - that we are ultimately incapable of changing our moral standing, our fate, that only God can do that for us. In practice it means that there are an elect few who are c

Plaid does very much the same thing, and is used by, among others, CashApp. In the name of making a seamless service they at least used to ask you to enter the credentials to your e-banking portal, then scrape your transaction history and b

The point of the personal carbon footprint was to convince people that they could individually make the world less bad by making choices within the existing system and didn't need to change anything (hence that paying for it was unnece

The personal carbon footprint was also a public relations invention of fossil companies. The whole point is to blame individuals for the systems they were dependent on that created by extractive industry in order to make some people fabulou

If she's identifying it as polyethylene it's a good bet she's actually looking at the RIC. That said, I don't see a lot of plastics that have a recycling symbol and not have a RIC. I'm sure it depends on where you l

This is the process described in the article. (Edit: the article even directly addresses this, with the suggestion, you can believe it or not, that this is intended to prevent microplastics generated from abrasion) I suppose you would stil

The article mentions drifts as tall as houses. Even if you could get a shovel or snowblower under that, where do you put the snow? That's a ton of work!

Speculation, but I read Spotify here as Findaway, who were the largest non-Audible audiobook platform (underlying services like Scribd and other stores) before getting bought by Spotify earlier this year. He had to have been talking to them

There are a lot of providers who sell DRM-free audiobooks. Until Spotify bought them Findaway was the biggest "distributor" for a lot of these companies. I don't personally look forward to yet another industry locking away co

The narrator is similarly inseparable from the performative work (as, say, an orchestral recording of a symphony), the only difference seems to rest in who has the power and incentive to claim royalties. None of this explicitly follows from

I am glad Sanderson can make this deal with Spotify. I wonder if this same structure will be extended to the many other services that license audiobooks from (what used to be) Findaway (until they bought it). While it's good to have an

My university had its own combined cycle power/steam/chiller plant, although in structure you could think of it as a steam plant with generators and chillers that could be switched as needed. I would have guessed that a number of

See my comment on the previous thread, I have an unusual Google geolocation situation, where at work there is no GPS coverage and Google shows my location in random locations as much as 200 miles away from my actual location. I do not belie

Lots of incomplete answers - you can maybe probably follow anyone you want from any decent server. But servers block each other for a number of reasons, so for good or bad you probably want to just pick one, see if it works, and if there ar

I'm curious how this actually works. My workplace has extremely bad cell coverage and no GPS coverage indoors. I work at a satellite office about a mile from the main headquarters, but we have facilities (mostly small storefronts) over

In the context of moving the goalposts, you are asking other commenters to justify another person's actions that are increasingly at odds with their words. I personally think that the narrative you are interrogating is weak, even a str

Steel manning really only works if you can assume the other person continues to argue in good faith. If the other person keeps moving the goalposts and demanding you construct a strong argument for their behavior they're just being abu

Relatedly, many websites have nowhere to tap that doesn't do anything. If you try to select some text then want to tap away (to clear the copy/select all/etc popup) you can't do so without navigating away from the page o
