Well it used to be good, even non techy users knew that IE sucked and when their "computer-whizkid" nephew recommended Chrome it was genuinely faster and leaner than competition. And I've almost forgot the fact that they've advertised chrome (maybe they still do) on the main Google page that gets like billions of pageviews.

ashens is still making that quality brown sofa content 17 years later.

Surely a browser with a market share 2% that of Chrome's (not total!) doing this will change anything. Surely when Google implements this and your bank and government websites start requiring your browser be "secure" users aren't going to just switch back to chrome where "everything just works".

Won't this thing actually help the AI models in the long run? The biggest issue I've heard is the possibility of AI generated images getting into the training dataset, but "poisoned" artworks are basically guaranteed to be of human origin.

I can't tell you anything about it you just have to play it.

Not to nitpick, but it wasn't exactly taken down, they've contracted out their TLD to Freenom and that contract has recently ended.

"What's a Computer?"

Sorry but what's the problem? Just use a TOTP authenticator, they work completely offline and are even more secure than SMS 2FA. For Android I would recommend Aegis.

I know this is a piracy board, but please don't steal from your school and just get a cracked copy if you need it.

Is there any information on the performance impact of the microcode fix or is it too early for that?

I'm not a qualified professional, but from what I've read over the years bipolar disorder mood swings last at least a few days and definitely not minutes. It might be some kind of a personality disorder, in which case therapy can help immensely.

I feel like all these new captchas (especially the die sum one) will soon be easier for bots than for real humans.

For a completely offline solution KeepassXC also can do TOTP.

I don't think so? There's "Find My" network from Apple and there's this one from Google. The only intercompatibility planned is the alerts for unknown trackers following you.

Aren't most x86 executables being built now still favoring compatibility to performance? I think I've read that just targeting the current gen CPUs while compiling can bring up to 20% improvements.

There's a project I'm using that has a lead dev from Russia, so for him that's the only way to receive money. Crypto has been overwhelmingly overtaken by grifters, but there are still uses that just made easier by a decentralized currency.

Currently I can connect my phone to a set of speakers at a small local café, several of my expensive over ear headphones, aux input of my friend's car, and a 70 cent lapel mic. Can I carry a dongle with me everywhere? Probably. Will I remember to do it? Probably not.

Cockpit is quite mature and sponsored by Red Hat. Your users can log in with their normal account on the system which you can lockdown however you want.

There's also the fact that mainstream news in most countries consist of 50% local and 50% US news.

Haha, I guess that was too easy.

I spent some time on reddit recently and it felt even more like I was talking to children most of the time. Constant arguing which quickly turns into insults makes it impossible to have any productive conversation. Maybe it has always been that way and using lemmy provided a direct comparison, but I'm not sure that I want to be on there any more.

Commercial use as in hosting it for somebody else, self-hosting it for your org is still ok

From a psychological view, the best we can do is provide the information and hope that they come to the right conclusion themselves. You're almost never going to convince a person by telling them that they're wrong, and surely not by talking how their children are going to suffer and their house is going to get flooded.

FWIW they at least have their own indexer instead of relying on bing/yandex (looking at you ddg). Although I guess selling content you've crawled as your own is still a pretty shady thing to do.

I don't know the details, but, even though I appreciate the tech behind it, in my experience signal hasn't been that great (not even accounting for the need to ask people to install it). The calls always have a delay, the UI isn't as responsive as either Telegram or WhatsApp, no ability to edit sent messages, no history when logging in from a computer. Any of these aren't that big of a deal, but definitely a downgrade compared to the competition.

I mean the 2 year drum up to elections so that even my nan who doesn't speak a word of English knows all of the candidates. US is also on the front of the culture wars as well as popular entertainment, so there's a lot of that as well. Anyway, I'm sharing my personal experience and don't feel like there's a need to argue about that, if your local TV presents you a balanced world view great for you.

"Configure port forwarding" covers pretty much all of the steps. I don't think that it would be any less secure than quickconnect through a relay, but if security is a priority, then look into setting up a VPN to your network instead.

Wait, is this google basically admitting they've been scamming advertisers by taking their money to show ads to bots?

task.org seems to be an oldschool under-construction page, do you mean tasks.org? Also is there a reason you specifically recommend OpenOffice instead of LibreOffice or Collabora Office?

To be fair, most first world countries seem to have settled on 18 for all of this. I think the wrong assumption is that the age limits are related to each-other, while they've been brought into law at different points in history and there hasn't been a need to change them. There are also the environmental factors, such as the driving age in the USA probably being lower as a consequence of a car-centric culture.

Also look into the Xiaomi flagships. Xiaomi 13 can be had for around £700 if you're willing to shop around, while the last gen Xiaomi 12 is listed for under £400 on the official Mi UK store. Here's the size comparison to your Pixel if you're curious.

I hope that the switch version would be easier to bypass as there's no way they're going to force you to connect to the internet to verify anything like the do on the PC.

Does the $250,000 include the horse?
