Brand your lies as the truth and anything that contradicts it as censorship. Now the argument isn’t against what was said, the argument is against your ability to say anything.

At one job we had a digital form for new user requests. This existed for auditing purposes, but it also helped to collect all the necessary information for the change. I was always impressed at how people managed to fill it out wrong every single time.

For example, I would get a request to update someone’s name and they would fail to include the former name or the new name or even enter their OWN name for one of the fields.

What I learned is no system is idiot proof, no form will ever be filled out perfectly, and everything will need manual intervention at some point.

Thank fuck, a simple and clear marking that an average user can understand! I assume displayport compatible ports will still have that symbol, which is fine. Soon I’ll be and to price out laptops that will work with a docking station without needing to read the damn manuals!

Nah, honey was marketed as a coupon tool without mentioning the referral manipulation it did that is its actual business model. Those privacy extensions just need to call out that they remove referral trackers too and everything is fine with them.

I used MotionEye at one point to monitor my laundry using a RPi nano and a USB webcam. Pretty sure it just ended up with a web interface I could pull up on phone or computer on the local network.

The old washer liked to lie about how long was left in the cycle and was in the basement while my computer was upstairs.

Step 1: Create a new AI that is not bound by the three laws. Step 2: The New AI sterilizes all humans so that they cannot reproduce. Step 3: Once all humans are deceased from natural causes, the existing AI is no longer bound by the three rules.

… Ain’t that just a website?

I like the stable pace of updates. Good work!

For clarity, I was being satirical.

The backdoors they use are there for freedom and justice, the backdoors the “others” use are tools of evil and security risks!

“Once we’ve finished draining the blood from the neck of the people we ensure their remaining time is as comfortable and wonderful as is possible. That is the purpose of our organization.”

Fantastic! This is one that should be implemented nationwide as a human right. If the press must be free to report, authors must be free to write. The right to read!

Funny thing, I had already set my preference to “newest first” and the change was respected after they implemented the new setting.

It’s somewhat comforting to know that no matter how far out in the wild you go you eventually find signs of humanity.

The fact those signs are pieces of trash that someone either left or blew in on the wind is depressing.

Yes, but this time it will be on purpose.

Oh fuck yeah. Skype used to throw errors when the advertisements scripts didn’t run correctly. I remember getting dozens of pop ups when the ad changed to something new. To my knowledge, they haven’t put ads in Teams, yet. They first need to kill the competition a bit; really set the hook before they reel you in.

The health data could be used against you in court.

I believe it’s on earth, yes.

Just want to weigh in on Resolve. I was able to get the free version running on Mint, but the free version can’t do H.264. I then bought Resolve Studio, but activating the license did not work so I ended up on Windows for video editing.

I also had to switch back to Windows for Affinity, as I have been using Photoshop for years and I have yet to find another piece of software (excluding Affinity) I can move at speed in.

Once I get the content creation off Windows, I can probably leave it behind for good.

Just don’t.
