   Very impressive. This is the first time I've heard some ML generated music that I don't mind listening to. I think if someone figured out a way to get rid of the noise then I would be willing to subscribe to a service that offered

   To my knowledge there is no zoom competitor that has end to end encryption and allows people to join a call from landlines.

   The iPad is close. It's $309 new from Apple without any discounts applied. Certainly it can be had for ~$250 elsewhere.

   Yeah, I was trying to set up Selenium (testing framework) with WSL 2. Its workable but you need to write more code to hack around WSL limitations on graphical apps. Using Selenium is a much better experience on macOS and desktop Linux.

   As someone who has used Linux on the desktop for the last few years, I've never had the first three issues. The last one I believe is the same on macOS which I consider to be a fine desktop OS.

   Would the Australian encryption laws impact Fastmail that much? AFAIK their emails were never encrypted at rest to begin with so someone with a warrant could always have gotten in.

    I imagine the logic is that people usually keep Gmail open in a tab which might be reloaded once per day. So people aren't likely to switch email providers because of 20 seconds a day. That said, I've found Gmail to be pretty slug

    For a while I had first@last.email but I got tired of paying for the last.email domain, so I now use contact@firstlast.com where I also use firstlast.com for my website. Also, I have a few other emails like accounts@firstlast.com (for signi

    I've been using the new Flatpak in beta for a month or so. I really like it on Fedora since it means I don't have to enable any 3rd party repos to get DRM working.

    This is similar to AWS Workspaces but for mobile. The biggest concern is obviously privacy and security.

    Looks like GNU Ring changed its name to Jami. Also, I already have an GNU Ring account saved in my password manager but can't seem to login (or even find a place to). However, if I try to create a new account using my old username it (

    But if a cruise line fails surely it won't be long before someone buys their assets (maybe a better managed competitor or new entrant) and they will still need to employ people to run those ships.

    So just load the JS locally from a browser extension. I know MEGA (end-to-end encrypted cloud storage) has an extension for that. I'm sure other end-to-end encrypted web apps (ProtonMail, Bitwarden, etc) could do the same. https:&#x2F

    So if you don't believe in investing then what are your plans for retirement? Just to save enough money into a bank account?

    Ideally, shouldn't someone planning to retire have already moved more of their money to bonds? Then they could just withdrawal from the bonds portion of the portfolio (which is likely up right now) while the stock market recovers.

    Maybe Brave doesn't technically control BAT, but last time I checked I couldn't even withdraw my BAT from the Brave Browser wallet without verifying my identity to Uphold (a crypto exchange that Brave partnered with). It also appe

    Another thing is that 401k and IRAs might not be great for someone hoping to retire early because of the early withdrawal penalties.
