I assume all the bot farms are paying for the privilege.

So, the Internet of Shit is not just a euphemism now. Great…

To add to what others have replied, Amazon have an institutional belief that everyone who makes it through the Loop is better than 50% of existing staff.

It could be post-hoc rationalising of back-loaded share vesting, hire-to-fire, and their other many practices, but that’s the position. With that kind of thinking, it makes this behaviour, including it’s consequences, a no-brainer win:win to them.

Netiquette

Now there’s a term I’ve not seen in many years.

And dates both of us, I expect… 😄

Yeah, but also: you couldn’t be more wrong if you tried.

They’re going for the FX artists.

Agree. It’s definitely popcorn hour.

TIL that version appears to be on the AUR: MicroEMACS/PK 4.0.15 customized by Linus Torvalds.

Last updated in 2014, it probably has serious cobwebs now. Even the upstream hasn’t been touched in 6 years.

Yep, with the desktop versions of Signal, Matrix (Element) and Steam chat.

I’m yet to try out gamemode, which may help. But I typically close Signal and Element when I’m gaming, so it’s usually not an issue for me.

Edit: I’m on EndeavourOS, KDE, i7, 16GB, Nvidia 2060.

You appear not to have heard of Google Glass.

I run this in a Docker container on my home network without connecting it to their cloud platform (despite their - increasingly strident, it feels - “encouragements” to do so). It’s very powerful, and the majority of low level configuration is done via text files. But 99% of it is automatic.

The UI is unique. It’s a single, long and scrollable page, which may be an issue for some.

There are other tools out there, too. I previously used one that integrates Grafana, Prometheus and Node Exporter, which is more complex to set up and configure.

Hadn’t seen that before. Love it. 😄

This seems a reach. Podcasting (MP3 files distributed by an RSS feed) is platform agnostic.

To me, claiming that any platform is “killing” any demographic’s podcasting capability is screaming “I know absolutely nothing about podcasts”.

YMMV. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Finally. I’ve been using <blah>.arpa ones for years.

It’s a net positive, not a negative: using ESDF means you have a bunch of keys available to the left of your movement keys.

Sure, it can be a pain if a game forces WASD, but otherwise you’re not the person having to lift your hand off the movement keys (or buying an MMO mouse) to have the same flexibility. 😄

I think it’s the usual “it hasn’t impacted me personally, so how bad can it be” maintaining the status quo at all costs.

Once something happens that they care about, they’ll be on the Fediverse that day crowing loudly about how awful Xitter has suddenly become…

Parts of the Internet now only searchable on specific sites now? What next - charging a monthly subscription to use Google?

This needs to be regulated before the Internet becomes like streaming TV.

Had no idea about this. Very useful, thanks!

I second this, as it’s my use case.

Providing you lay out each note correctly with appropriate frontmatter, Dataview’s DQL and DataviewJS give you all the SQL-like functionality you could want.

Plus a load of useful functionality beyond a plain DB.

It is.

I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn that their consistent advice was to call them so they could take it away to examine instead…

Here we go again.

I dealt with a few CSAM cases in previous jobs and there’s an oddity in UK law: if you even suspect there’s a CSA image - including regular nudes of someone under the age of consent - on a device, it is illegal for you to check.

By opening the image to determine what it is, you are prosecutable. (Not sure if anything has changed since, as this was nearly 10 years ago).

There are many, far better, ways to deal with this issue that don’t destroy relationships and futures.
