  • Whether you committed murder or not is directly correlated to the amount of money you have and whether you are in the in-group.

  • Smarter than me, I thought of Nostr

  • I can see limited use for a land line if you changed your cell number and then only gave out the land line number to companies. There are probably cheaper ways utilizing Google voice numbers of protecting the privacy of your main cell number though.

  • He’s really sweaty?

  • I had an 11 year old account that I deleted all my old comments and posts from because of the API debacle. Does that make me selfish that I felt like Reddit wasn’t holding up its end of the unwritten agreement?

    Reddit doesn’t deserve my content anymore than I deserve access from the third party API.

  • The difference is that Lemmy admins across the fediverse aren’t making the user experience worse so they can sell the data to corporations for LLM training

  • It doesn’t make them a bad parent. They are just making a poor choice out of what I assume is good intentions.

  • You didn’t used to be able to refund your stream purchases if you downloaded or installed them at all. The fact that they forced intrusive DRM with a single player game in HL2.

    Valve was seen as a very unfriendly company until about 2010

  • Your employer has policies for dealing with shrink/theft. They assuredly don't include confronting the shoplifter. It sucks because you were just trying to act in the best interest of your store. It sucks to lose your job, it sucks to not be given a second chance based on your history. I'm guessing there is probably liability/reputation concerns that is keeping corporate from just giving you a warning. Its not that they don't care about you, actually it is because they don't care about you, the dollar value of the risk of lawsuit/bad press became higher than what it costs to replace you.

  • Fake news. Nobody is getting a raspberry pi for $10 lol

  • I don’t have a complex tax return but I’d rather pay an accountant to file my federal return for me than give these companies my business.

    Whenever I can efile my return without giving intuit, hr block or other mega corp my business, that will be a great day

  • Nostr is really good at the one thing AP struggled with, which is identity portability.

    That being said, I feel like the challenges that nostr has (the network effect, association with crypto bros, private key recovery and human readable account linking) are bigger hurdles than what AP has to overcome

    I still think there is room for both to operate and a market niche for bridging services for those who want to follow people on both protocols

  • What the hell is this some sort of yearbook superlative? Absolutely ridiculous

  • You mean I copy 2 line python scripts from StackOverflow

  • The complex part isn't the hosting part. Its the security part, the reputation management part, the uptime part, the troubleshooting delivery part and basically every other aspect other than running postfix+dovecot

  • Hosting your own email is a bad idea. Hosting OTHER PEOPLE'S email is a REALLY BAD idea. Self-hosting mail on a vanity domain is a good exercise to learn how SMTP, DNS, IMAP and other protocols interact.

    If you don't like Google, Apple, or Microsoft then sign them up with Proton or another hosted provider. You don't want to be the reason someone lost income because they missed out on a critical email from a client or their job application was blocked because it was sent from a host with poor reputation.

  • Even if you use https to browse, metadata such as DNS and destination IP are going to be visible to attackers without VPN.

    Should you be paying extra for a VPN just for public WiFi. Probably not, but if you pay for Apple iCloud+ or Google One, you should be taking advantage of the free vpn services that come with those subscriptions

  • Sorry, I don’t mess with AltStore/TrollStore so I’m not super knowledgeable with those options. If you do run AltStore on a Mac, I think you are then able to use JIT which you need to be able to run GCN emulation via dolphin. And I think there are also ways to use JIT over the cloud but I’m not familiar with those methods.

  • If you aren’t needing any emulators past GBA/DS/SNES, afterplay.io lets you play your ROMs on an unjailbroken iOS device using Safari
