Live by the sword, die by the sword.

I just realized I have no idea who pays for Let’s Encrypt. I just run the server commands, automate it, and move on.

After watching Trump boost his crypto scams, I absolutely believe that the X wallet or whatever has the means to successfully fleece morons.

(me wishing CVS/Rite aid/Walgreens didn’t destroy all the mom and pop drug stores)

They do. It’s the secret aisle, behind the store. Ask for Kenny.

Who are those 15%?

And why aren’t they pushed into the ocean?

Damn the downvotes. Where is OP wrong?

1. Wikipedia CEO literally said that’s what he wants. He wants people to debate. He’s done interviews where he doesn’t want a single person to be the source of truth. The chaos is what brings consensus.

2. You have to be stupid if you don’t think companies don’t pay people for this. It’s really not difficult to hire a “Reputation Management” team to sprinkle positive information or at least control it. Im in team meetings about it, where we have staff members who moderate major social groups and lie about endorsements.

Joplin.

Ive been paying for Workflowy and honestly, I’ve reached my limit of cost vs value.

I needed a way to do more than just bullets, like Evernote without the bloat, or OneNote/Notes without the megacorp, something I can export and read 100 years from now.

I was surprised how often I use it, and slowly weening off of Workflowy.

In most situations, Honestly just easier to file the report at the station.

Neighbor’s car got broken into. Called the cops and for some reason, THREE cops went door to door demanding home owners hand over video of their door cams?

I went to yell at my neighbor who apologized like crazy, saying he just asked them to file a report, not play Bad Boys action-hero.

Most of them didn’t allow registration. Then for the ones I did find, streaming videos was very slow and laggy. In some cases, I couldn’t even view videos. And then, it seemed that I could only search for videos that existed on that particular instance.

As a user, I feel this pain. The defenders of how “easy” it is to join federated services, it really isn’t. There’s choice paralysis as well as waiting for registration and verification. It’s not smooth at all. Take a stop watch and set up a YouTube account, upload a video of a cat’s butt, and it’s like 2 minutes.

As a person who rolled out my own servers, I understand the barriers. I don’t have registration because my $5/month server can’t handle it, performance-wise or spammers. Even uploading things on my server is slow.

Hard problem to solve tbh and I don’t have a solution

Ah, thought you meant though metadata. Like a end user snooping through some obscure meta data method (even after cleaning) let’s you triangulate something.

Ignoring the Seagate part, which makes sense… Is there a reason with 36TB?

I recall IT people losing their minds when we hit the 1TB, when the average hard drive was like 80GB.

So this growth seems right.

How so? Asking out of curiosity.

I have kids. I wouldn’t trade them for the world. 90% of the time, they’re fine. The other 10%, I’m so angry but I can’t be angry for long because they didn’t do anything I didn’t do as a kid.

Hard to say if I regret anything. Too young and I would have struggled financially, nor was I mature enough. Too old and I would have struggled to keep up.

You’re going to have a divide here. There’s people who REALLY hate the idea of kids. Then you have the crazy-ass breeder religious folks who are so judgemental. Asking for validation from the internet about kids is silly imo. Everyone has a motive.

Rather than ask friends, family, strangers on the internet… Treat it like a lifestyle change. Read books about parenting. If that doesn’t align with you, then you have your answer.

Right? If Ada was banning on vibes, be ready to get that Lemmy.world banning because of a bad roll of the dice.

I don’t keep up with Lemmy drama.

What’s up with Midwest social?

There needs to be a one-pager because every week there seems to be a new one.

There are home users of Microsoft 365?

I’m not shaming but I kinda am. Like WTF is wrong with you? You pay for free shit.

Office employees don’t get to choose.

Well in Walgreens: if you see someone shoplifting…

ask how they can help you open up the thing locked up because I pushed that god damn button and it’s been 15 minutes and I haven’t seen a god damn employee yet Jesus Christ I came here for a quick trip like wtf I could have ordered this online you fucking morons

What a twist. In the 90s, the internet forced countries to wake up to the new modern era. It was a combination of American companies wanting both to expand and provide goodwill.

And now, this new era is going to tell American companies to fuck off.

$125k over five years is stupid. That’s $25k a year for five years.

GoDaddy made 4.481B last year.

For math nerds, that’s 179,240 times the penalty.
