“Think of the children” is somehow the gotcha for so many of the hard-of-thinking amongst us.

Thanks, and for that Issue link. As you say, I expect it’s just nuking the cookie and everything related to it just disappears.
At least it’s on someone’s radar. :)
Edit: I sent a message to support, as suggested by slazer2au, and got a response pointing out that 30 days seems to be hard-coded into mlmym: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/blob/a518844b005179623d0d7a31f45966cd8a6b8a96/routes.go#L794
That and those settings all being stored client-side explains everything. Not sure why those choices were made, but now I know why.
If I’m sick in public and don’t know the cause (i.e. could be COVID), I’ll wear a surgical mask. If I’m in an environment where COVID/similar may be likely from others, I’ll wear an N95 mask.
I have boxes of each, left over from the coronalypse, so it makes sense to me.
Bananas. 30 minutes later it’s “hello fibre and potassium, time to visit the loo!” But seriously, there are so many great fruits.
Some from me: Blackberries are my hands-down favourite (and available everywhere in the wild in the UK autumn), raspberries, apples (so many varieties), navel oranges, mandarins, dragon fruit, watermelon, pears, rockmelon/cantaloupe, soft peaches (rare; most need a hammer and chisel), plums, damsons (in jam), and grapes.
Most level-headed reaction to the issue I’ve seen to date. Thanks for saying it.
If a company has had a decent record to date, I prefer to wait to see if they hang themselves with their own rope rather than rage quitting on insufficient information.
They’ve done some questionable things in the past that can be explained by over-zealous PMs and such, so I’ll wait to see how this plays out.
“This is illegal!”
Bung in the post
“This is legal… for a fee!”
If the punishment is a fine, it is targeted at those who can’t afford the brib—I mean fee.
The whole full circle thing aside, I’m delighted we’re still able to do this 🖕🏻 with the current protocols.
My choices > your shareholders.
I definitely admire the integrity and the effort.
But, economically speaking, you get what you incentivise for: if you can game the system and get the click/eyeball ratio, then they’re going to do that.
Nice. But as a BitWarden user, it’s useless to me. I’ve never put all my eggs in one account basket.
Passwords on one service, MFA on another, email on yet another, etc.
Saw that in the cinema and went into real (medical) physical shock at the kerb-stomping scene. I’d never thought of or seen that before. Holy crap, it shook me for hours after as I warmed up again, etc.
TIL this is a thing. I started doing that over 30 years ago with SLS and Slackware when that was the only choice.
This was pre-PnP (also pre-JPEG!), so you had to know all the addresses, IRQs, DMA info, etc, of your hardware or you’d get… unexpected results. make
it and they will come…
After countless distros and flavours over the years, I still use Debian for servers and now use EndeavourOS for desktop/laptops.
If the SIM standard didn’t change every few years, presumably for the same reason CPU pin-count changes ($$$), this might be a great phone for international travel, protests/marches and such.
As for Snake: meh, it’s fun, but it’s easy enough to code for yourself… Angela Yu’s “100 Days of Code” taught me that. ;)
I think you’ve got the right approach, FWIW.
Not sure that big business favouritism is the intent, but it’s definitely more lucrative for them. Especially with Vimeo and other alternatives out there.
I remember when streaming took off in a big way - some on YT and others on justin.tv (later Twitch and now Amazon’s Twitch) - and I thought you’d have to be objectively bonkers to rely upon an opaque and ever-changing algorithm for your financial future. Some have gamed it well, but it’s pretty easy to see how they’ve survived - fake shock/reaction content, alt-light or worse content, polarising opinion, thinly-veiled advertorials, and so on.
If using Firefox:
I use a bunch of others, but the above are my bare minimum.
Don’t believe anyone who tells you that one extension does everything.
First line of the article:
Two of the biggest deepfake pornography websites have now started blocking people trying to access them from the United Kingdom.
This isn’t (yet) the UK blocking access to them as part of a Great Firewall of Britain thing. This is the sites themselves blocking visitors from the UK, the same as porn sites for various US states.
As with porn sites, it’ll be using the geoIP tag of your IP address, which is notoriously unreliable, especially near geopolitical boundaries.
Using a VPN or even a third-party (rather than your ISP’s) DNS server will often get around them. However, doing so will eventually probably get you in trouble.
Another subscription model, you mean?
This is, sadly, accurate. Telling someone to use an OS/platform that isn’t connected with a brand they recognise seems to send many people into a tailspin.
I’ll refrain from the obvious “They Live” cynicism…
I suppose you adapt, as you don’t have an alternative nor a frame of reference of what “normal” is?
Like people born without a limb, or those who discover they’re double-jointed or hyper-extensive/-flexible when their classmates react at their ability to touch their thumb to their wrist.
It’s definitely curious and worth understanding.
I had a girlfriend who was born without this connective tissue between her brain hemispheres.
Other than being weird, for reasons that could be explained myriad other ways, she was able to control each eye independently when she wanted.
Watching her watch TV and me while I walked past was… odd.
I once wished for this, especially back in the days when there were next to no laws regarding it, but there’s zero chance as the money and attention has moved to it. There’s political capital in demonising online discourse.
