i got on posteo recently, it’s great. sometimes the webmail feels a little archaic but it’s probably for good reasons and keeps costs down. every setting i could want is exposed and their guides are really good.

I’ve been thinking of this game in the context of recent discussion about Steam’s laissez-faire content moderation

you think that’s a counterexample but it’s not.

competition is good, this game might push some new mechanics that work well with this kind of world/story and Sony will have to catch up, thus making the franchise better.

a recent one is all of amanozako’s v/o in SMTV “oh you want some, do ya?”

i’ve been dying to try an llm that can generate stls from natural speech

it looks cute, i would worry about it being so small + light that the cables push it around but that doesn’t really happen for the apple tv and this will probably be heavier. might be an upgrade path from my M1 iMac one day, but good 4k monitors are still way too expensive.

anyone else getting 403 for the feed itself?

i’m so on board for a .ics renaissance like we’ve had for rss. let’s put these calendars to use.

and it’s easily reversible from macOS’s perspective? i’m familiar enough with partition OS installs (remember boot camp?) but there’s so many new security “features” these days

so is there a way to try asahi on my m1 macbook without overwriting my macos install?

Risk of Rain 2

for a game that came out when this one did and on the hardware it did, would you prefer a $20 basic, well-performing but aged looking port, or a $60 remaster? but if other comments are right we’ll get a $60 bad port lol

ars posted this article today: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/08/its-not-worth-paying-to-be-removed-from-people-finder-sites-study-says/

takeaways:

1. the paid automated options don’t work very well
2. easyoptouts had the best success rate at (only) 65%
3. claims connections between the data sites and removal sites – i certainly saw a few ads on the sites but nothing points any fingers at any of the services mentioned in the comments here.

i ended up using kanary and optery in the free tier and doing the removals manually. but to follow up on my OP, there’s no service i’ve seen that goes any deeper than what comes up on google, which is disappointing. there are larger, private databases (such as lexisnexis) which was hoping to be able to get out of.

anyone else have experience with this one?

Yeah true. I think what I’m looking for is a reasonable cost/benefit/time investment, like maybe I’ll order a Kanary scan once a year and manually opt them all out. I did kanary this afternoon and the vast majority only had my voter registration info, but a few had attached my cell number which might be from the WhoIs data. If I can slow the spread of that for <$20/year I’ll feel satisfied.

I see the logic if I was continually making potential leaks (I guess we all are), but for trying to clean up a specific thing like my case, I suppose I can just buy one month.

very cool thanks

Checking them out, thanks. I kinda wish there was a different pricing model than a subscription for this kind of service.

edit; after signing up i can actually see within the free tier that there’s a “buy custom scan” option which might allow more piecemeal payments, gonna look into it

i just realized i set up ente but put the login for it in my bitwarden. that kind of defeats the purpose. so i guess i would need to save the ente creds outside of bitwarden… then i need a second 2FA source for that… endless cycle…
