I think that’s one of them https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:6vblwh2edno4ayc2mku72r7e/lists/3ldrmfbe54m2s

It’s going to get flagged fast af.

Infrared / line-of-sight based wireless transmission would be the norm.

Delete it, then embrace the fediverse through Pixelfed and Loops.

I use as as I don’t even want to bother hosting a PiHole, and honestly it works quite well. Set it as a DoT on Android and you have it outside from home without having to think about it.

The DNT flag amounted to the equivalent of a digital pinky swear from website operators. Oh they still tracked you? That’s too bad… South Park’s rubbing nipples meme

On the other hand, it makes it easy to find which apps aren’t to be trusted with your data.

Nowhere, just one of the use-case I think RSS feeds could cover in a more privacy-respecting way.

I personally hate newsletters because

1. my email inbox is already cluttered enough as it is
2. I need to share my email to subscribe, which puts the balance of power into the hands of the sender at the expense of my privacy

I’d rather have newsletters made available through RSS feeds, where I can subscribe and unsubscribe anonymously.

how people celebrated Bin Laden’s death

Ouch, some deep introspection is required if you get to a point in life where you, being an insurance CEO and being killed lead to the same kind of mob reactions as Bin Laden’s death.

VHS tapes, and having to rewind them.

Although the ability to record almost anything on a cheap VHS tape was nice, now everything has copy protection.

Good question 🤔

Two games I anticipated came out on Steam only, so I asked the developers if they planned to sell on alternative platforms and they did, but considering the game isn’t full done yet (they released it in Early Access) Initially I was annoyed, but after their response (they want to focus their effort on the game before adding the extra burden of managing multiple update channels) I understand why they did, on top of being a small team.

I decided to wait for one (came out on GOG on v1.0) and for the second one I decided to buy it on Steam right away since there’s still a lot of work left.

I just wait, not like I don’t have a ton of games to play with. Plus I get to buy it for cheap later on.

I wasn’t involved in the tender, so I don’t know who initially applied and what were the specifics.

I’ll wait for a local model where the transcription happens on-device, like Google Recorder.

We were a medium-sized VMware client, roughly 4000 VMs. We’re almost done migrating to Nutanix.

Sadly not open source, but less money towards Broadcom is a good thing overall.

I can see the interest where it may be easier to extract your own data through that frontend in some cases.
