Pronouns: any. You can't get it wrong

  • That's fine. Spelled vs spelt is different regionally in the UK. I was taught "spelled", I say it as spelled, but more often than not I type it spelt because it's easier on a glass keyboard

  • 10 to 1. Many style guides require numbers lower than 10 to be spelt out. Many people think that what style guides say is "correct"

  • Because getting the same results is hard or expensive if you wanted to do it yourself.

    A security camera is easy. Reasonably secure view from anywhere is difficult. Notification of activity in view of the camera is harder. Internet to front door intercom is moderately difficult.

  • Remember that Google not only cooperates with police, they will report users to the police for things their AI finds in that users photos or documents

    When they have done that in the past and police investigated the police found no crime was done, but Google deleted their account anyway. They lost their contacts list, their photos, all the spreadsheets and documents in their Google drive, their email account, all their passwords (and the ability to reset those passwords because of the loss of the email account). The guy also used Google for internet and phone, which also went away when Google accused him

    If you keep anything important on an online service, keep a backup offline (https://takeout.google.com/ for Google). Use a password manager that isn't under control of a tech giant.

    If you back up everything to an online service, choose one that allows you to encrypt your data so they can't use it against you

  • "a legacy service" according to the article, but it was a legacy service that had access to Exchange

  • That's a fat cat

  • Yeah, I'm 45ish and I went zero carb to get rid of body fat and bad health. The common diet is fucking us up.

  • The deb is in the Ubuntu repositories by default.

  • The letter from haier says it is a beach of TOS. It's directly a "take it down or we'll delete your account" letter

  • IBM is so good and so bad. Their machines are so open. Their software is not.

  • Cleaning daily you want at least three sets of clothes

  • You can always just have enough clothes for whatever period.

  • Space space space space

  • My mouse seems to believe there is no use case for more than ten right clicks in a row, so it corrects them to left clicks. Sucks for minesweeper.

  • Old Reddit is the only place moderators have any 3rd party tools. When Reddit kills it, many more mods will quit. Large subs will be completely unmanageable

  • I don't think there's a copyright component to this. DMCA isn't on the table

    Haier were implying that they might sue if the developer didn't take it down

  • Enshittification is clearest in online, but even Doctorow uses the word to describe the behaviour of all companies.

  • Getting up to turn on or off the aircon doesn't allow for turning it on to make the house the right temperature by the time you get home

  • Mommy?

  • You're doing it wrong then. Life can be fun. It can be fun for not just years, but decades
