What do the terms of use and privacy policies say? Who’s paying for the servers and what are they getting out of it? Also, since your data is federated, what happens when it hits a server with any different policies (or who may be in violation of the license of the software itself, but is getting no enforcement)?

If you are not paying for some service, you and your data are almost certainly the product. It was true then, it’s still true today.

Not particularly, based on my experience. Now, if you want AS/400 people and such…

I am so happy not to have to mess with that. LOADHIGH agony.

As a General American speaker, all three of those are the same vowel for me, but I don’t think that’s true in a lot of the world (and also not in at least part of the US).

Well, that’s something I’ll want to turn off, though all they’ll get from me is random appointment reminders and confirmation codes.

I find google better than ddg the vast majority of the time… and google sucks

MSI has a Windows utility to control the fans as desired. I don’t think there’s a BIOS boot menu, but I will check.

EDIT:

Fan curves are apparently in “Hardware Monitor” because that makes sense. Blah. I still have to tweak more, or maybe Linux is just running hotter on my machine, but improvement has happened.

I didn’t realize my BIOS could have a boot menu pop up because the splash screen disappears instantly. Problem solved. Thank you!

I bout a new HDD and installed linux mint. Works fine except for two major things. Related to the post, I cannot get the bootloader to find windows 10 no matter what I do. I might try to swap the windows drive to sata slot 1 and see if that (a) still works for windows and (b) gets grub2 working. For now, I have to go into the BIOS and mess with the boot order there to switch.

The second problem, not related, is there doesn’t appear to be any fan control software that works for my MSI motherboard’s CPU fan (lmsensors doesn’t see any sensors related to it) so the fan constantly runs even when it’s fine in silent mode on windows with regard to temperature. I have trouble with certain sounds (and trouble hearing over background sounds in general) so this is actually more of a dealbreaker than the bootloader.

I had a mouse where one was vertical and the other horizontal, but I seem to think the horizontal scroll was oriented horizontally. Having googled the mouse in the picture, it says one is programmable and suggests it starts with volume.

its new policy interpretation will not include proactively removing content related to neo-Nazis and far-right extremism. But Substack will continue to remove any material that includes “credible threats of physical harm

Not even removing nazi publications

Yeah, seconded. I saw a decent chunk of things in person like I saw on bash.org. People were silly and/or dumb long before friendster, myspace, facebook, etc. and did plenty of shitposting (and just general cringe-y teenage obnoxiousness) on IRC and the like.

What a weirdly arrogant, condescending response. I also started on basic on a vic20, had a dad who worked in IT for the government, and have done all of that except the physical wiring on any noteworthy scale. This is utterly unhelpful.

If that’s a problem for some reason, they make bags that fold down to nearly nothing and you can stick in a pocket as well.

Also, “Loss Prevention” for anyone else who needs it.

just bring a backpack or some other bag.

This headline broke my brain. I know what Spotify is but not “Spotify Wrapped” so I kept reading it like my Spotify had wrapped something but “Place” next to it just would not compute.

I haven’t done UI work in years so I’m not sure how they do it these days.

Ideally, to save bandwidth on both sides, the server would only want to serve you the JS and CSS you need. I’m not sure how frequently that optimization is made, however.

I know several websites consider firefox’s built-in privacy settings an adblocker in certain configurations. I get notices on many sites and use no adblocker. Not sure if it’s the case here.

A lot of people will upvote anything on a list without even looking at the community or considering the relevance of the post to that community (/all, /subs, /new, etc.)
