My stuff is only accessible from my LAN (because I haven’t figured out how to set up a tunnel or reverse proxy yet).

But why won’t any other country do it either? Or are these ads only displaying to US IP addresses?

What is “1G1R”?

“Monopoly fucks up the entire market, news at 11.”

Sorry, I guess? I don’t use LinkedIn and I wrote it myself. I just talk like that.

Saying that AI changed it is burying the lede. The real story here is that one of those political grassroots lobbying services is using AI to forcibly invert the message of people who try to use it to send opposing messages. That’s way more deliberate and nefarious.

This isn’t bad autocorrect; this is intentional subversion.

Tuta and Proton’s political circumstances are very different from Autistici/Inventati’s.

Maybe they’re politically-neutral or maybe one or both are sabotaged somehow, but either way, they aren’t explicitly anti-fascist.

I’m clicking this because I don’t believe you and want to listen to the song.

LG’s Windows drivers were doing that. LG deserves the blame and can’t be trusted, but ditto for Windows itself.

The fucked up part is that “expertise” is assumed to be exclusively found in the industry being regulated. Bill Gates is a respected industry expert, but RMS is just some dumbfuck nobody because he’s not “in the industry”.

Unconscionable bunk. It’s illegal anyway, just like how you can’t sign a contract to sell yourself into slavery.

If the courts won’t enforce it, vigilantes should.

That just sounds like a good way to destroy index funds.

Go look up “tivoization”. GPLv2 isn’t enough to protect you from this shit.

Leave it to Sony to come up with new and innovative ways to harass customers.

Very popular this time of year.

My city’s public pools close at the beginning of August for some stupid-ass reason.

Yep. When I say “I use Keepass” what I actually mean is “I use KeepassXC, Macpass, KeepassDX, etc. depending on which OS I’m on at the time” and AFAIK none of those are actually made by the original Keepass developer.

No, he shouldn’t have switched to Bitwarden. Why the fuck do people keep recommending cloud shit instead of Keepass?

I don’t know where this weird trope of thinking Keepass is somehow obsolete or inferior came from, because it isn’t.

In my experience, [proprietary] projects are doing well if their Makefile isn’t so broken that they have to run it twice just to make sure everything actually compiles. And you want them to actually optimize it…?!

That may be an explanation, but it isn’t an excuse.

To be clear, I’m writing from a Lemmy/Reddit/Slashdot perspective. Maybe on Mastodon/Twitter (or, dog forbid, Facebook) it’s different, but I wouldn’t know because I’ve never used that shit.
