  • How many of you are substance free?

  • During the pandemic I had the same back-to-back restriction for weed because I'd notice my mood dip after 2 days of use.

  • How long do you typically use a water bottle/tumbler before you wash it?

    Jump

  • I appreciate your honesty, and I'm not far behind. I'll scratch off build up sometimes and easily go months. Washing it is probably a similar frequency to getting my haircut.

  • How long do you typically use a water bottle/tumbler before you wash it?

    Jump

  • Asking because the tumbler I use has a lot of little parts, so I easily go weeks between washing. I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than me shares a good reason why I shouldn't do that, because I feel a bit self conscious about it, but not enough to frequently wash.

  • Afaik you'd have to open a port and port forward for that to work, and you'd have to update every time your ip changes, unless you have a domain linked to it. There's lots of other configurations, too: VPN/tailscale or equivalent onto your home network, a vps, reverse proxy, etc. I've yet to decide how to access from outside my home. Still tinkering locally, but mumble would be fun to try one day.

  • "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens

  • I can't believe now we (Americans) have to pay for it with our tax dollars.

  • Windows Recall has re-entered the chat.

  • DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE

    Jump

  • And before that, where did people think money-grubbing, morally-bankrupt billionaires vacuuming up all their data was going to lead? This was all but inevitable, especially when, without outrage-based engagement algorithms there is no President Trump. These scumbags prop each other up. Don't give them a dime or let them profit off your attention.

  • How does one keep their system secure with pirating? A large mkv of a new movie seems like an effective container to deliver a payload.

  • Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • "Naive" doesn't sit right with me. Anyone can scrutinize LUKS, or BitLocker for that matter (via cryptsetup). Backdoors aren't the issue here, even for MS Bitlocker. The issue, as stated in the article, is:

    by default, BitLocker recovery keys are uploaded to Microsoft’s cloud

    No need for a backdoor if you know you can get keys to the front door.

  • This is me, too. Also, not bothered that their instagram algorithm can serve them highly personalized political propaganda just as easily. At least not bothered enough to leave.

  • What are your technology mispredictions?

    Jump

  • Even after seeing it, I was sure the iphone would fail. I thought, "Why would anyone use a crappy computer on a tiny screen instead of a laptop or desktop?"

  • Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft

    Jump

  • It's the data of what corners MS can cut to save more money than they lose when x number of users decide enough is enough.

  • Does anyone else miss traditional forums?

    Jump

  • I definitely miss the sense of community and building relationships that I had in forums. In particular, one forum I was on was a great size, diverse members with a shared interest, but we rarely spoke about the topic except to reference it. The off-topic section was where we spent all out time.

    Lemmy/reddit feel more distant. I like it but it's a different medium. There are people here I find so smart and funny, but interactions are akin to striking up a good convo while waiting in line at the store, wishing you were friends with them, but knowing you'll probably never see them again.

    It's not like these platforms have been around that long. I hope one day a new platform/medium comes along that fills that need.

  • +1 for PBS streaming. It's a great value and highly underrated.

  • After several failed hotfixes, Blizzard ended the pandemic by performing a hard reset, and a later patch prevented companions from contracting Corrupted Blood entirely.

    Note to the future: next pandemic, try a hard reset.

    Seriously though, it's wild they couldn't hotfix it.

  • This looks awesome! I'd just been collect my GPS data thinking one day I'd analyze/visualize it on my own-- not expecting anyone else to make a such a comprehensive program. The UI looks really slick. I'm looking forward to testing it out. Hopefully this weekend. Thank you for this!

  • I couldn't wait for the answer

    In the 1960s, scientists discovered that the sky blue blood inside horseshoe crabs would clot when it detected bacterial toxins. Vaccines, drugs and medical devices have to be sterile before they're put inside people. A better toxin-detection system meant less contamination risk for patients
