Gotta do what you need to.

Hopefully kbin development can fix their moderation tools and eventually be reconnected!

Why have a service fee at all then?

Just raise the prices and use the extra income to pay the employees better if that's really your intention.

People won't get upset about the tip on top of it if you don't already have a "service charge" sectioned off in the receipt.

Firstly: of course he knew it was illegal.

Secondly: ignorance of the law does not give you immunity from breaking it

This is not news unless he actually took ownership of that Tahoe for $1 in the end.

I closed my family shared account and started pirating Netflix shows/movies instead.

We paid for the convenience. I will happily just pirate if that's what they want 🀷

And the only reason Taylor Swift got involved is because the crazies started saying she was, with no evidence, until she felt pressured to speak out

And there's a full sized passenger airplane just hanging off the side

I came across this issue on my own discord server, the system kinda encourages you towards those higher security levels without really being especially clear about what it will do to the user experience.

One thing I would clear up though:

I think both sides in the OP are correct here.

Yes, the server admin sets the security level that triggers those requirements.

But it's also true that the server/admins do not get your phone number, that private information is only kept within discord's verification system. It is not sent to the server admins.

I think my trusty Pinecil soldering iron has got to be one of my best value purchases ever.

$25 for a tool that can compete with or surpass many other soldering irons that cost many times as much.

And the convenience of USB-C means you can use a portable battery without sacrificing any wattage. The heating element is also extremely efficient and can easily handle large pads that many others would struggle to heat effectively.

It's also got some fancy features like an accelerometer (used for display orientation and sleep timer) and a fully open-source OS.

Truly a steal for $25

I imagine you can install it through the Microsoft Store or via the add/remove Windows features function

I'm going to file a DMCA against your comment

Sweet making it illegal just makes it even more enticing!

Anyone in OK down for some illegal sexting? 😏

I had a similar history to you.

I finally decided a couple months back to start de-googling and did the following so far:

  • switched Google Password Manager to VaultWarden
  • switched Google Search Engine to searxng
  • switched Google Keep to Obsidian/memos
  • switched Google Drive/Office to Cryptpad
  • switched Google Chrome desktop to LibreWolf
  • switched Google Chrome Mobile to Fennec F-droid

Only progress I made is switching to iOS from Android. Installed Ff on mobile, but didn’t really like the experience, so not really using it.

Well if you switched to iOS then there's not really much point as the browser backend is still the same as Safari there. Apple doesn't allow other browser engines so on iOS Firefox/Chrome/etc are all just wrappers on Apple's browser engine.

Apple is worse than Google in many ways and if you wanted to maintain control over your privacy (and even just de-google) you ironically would be better off staying on Android.

There are many great custom firmwares available for Android devices such as GrapheneOS which can truly de-google your device.

that is protected by the DMCA?

Reverse engineering for the purpose of interoperability is legal under DMCA.

Here's an article that mentions it

As a rule of thumb, most adapters with a female USB-C socket on them are non-compliant.

You can also look at the USB spec yourself

USB Type-C receptacle to USB legacy adapters are explicitly not defined or allowed. Such adapters would allow many invalid and potentially unsafe cable connections to be constructed by users.

It's responding to the wish in his heart

the people at the dentist react as if you just killed a baby and then did a victory dance. It’s very uncomfortable ;)

I hate that!

They've got you strapped down into that chair naked with that thing in your mouth that forces you to smile while they all stare at you and chant "Shame. Shame. Shame.."

I really don't know why I keep going back.

Probably the same team that used to make the Snapchat Android app back in the day

Just put your work apps in your Work profile.

That's exactly why Android has this function, so they can only remotely access/wipe that profile. Everything in that profile is kept segregated from the rest of the system.

No, this stuff actually requires somewhat heavy ML processing that most phones probably couldn't do locally.

I think many people don't consider or overlook the fact that by "necessity" we allow companies like Google/Apple/Facebook full access to our photo libraries for the convenience of these features.

If you have the technical skill to I highly recommend trying out immich. It has all those features you are looking for: face matching, memories, photo maps, object recognition, etc. but those models are run locally (on your self-hosted server) instead of depending on Google/etc so your privacy is protected.

I think we need to bring back the global "it's ok to punch Nazis" rule

Tailscale Free has a 100 device limit.

Virtually its only limitation against the paid plans is the user limit. (3 users)

And network logging because it's heavy on their servers.

Also the user limit only applies to your account. You can share devices/etc with other accounts, as many others as you like.

No, with this new app messages are encrypted between you and Apple's iMessage servers using iMessage encryption more or less the same way an iPhone does.

The push service simply notifies your device it has a message waiting, no message content passes through Beeper servers.

Just the number of people staying in the road while cars all sliding all over like Disney on Ice is crazy.

You aren't helping, get out of the way and let god sort it out before you get run over!

If I was a multibilionaire I wouldn't blow it all buying a social media site and running it into the ground

You're allowed to support multiple things

Hi OPs defense, I'm dad.

I'm happy to pay to support them.

If you'd rather not pay the Beeper Cloud service is free and all of the matrix bridges it uses are open source.

The source code behind how Beeper Mini works is available as well but will require a client of some sort to be written since you can't just use a matrix bridge and a matrix app.

The guy who started Beeper also created the Pebble Watch and they have always maintained open source alternatives for their bridges.

I'm just happy that a company with those ethics is the one to take up this fight against Apple, this could have been a $10/month app from a company who believes in closed source and pushing ads/tracking users' data.

Beeper is a good company that actually cares about privacy and security and that should be commended.
