It has the feel of "we are the ones being shoplifted.."

Hell, there's too many people on Lemmy giving reddit too much activity. I blocked a couple of bots that were literally just yanking posts from reddit. They even left the links right back to reddit giving them the actual traffic. We can do better people. If I want shitty reddit content I would just go there.

Not sure what you mean. You said disc based media is obsolete, and I explained why it isn't. I am not arguing about digital vs analog here. I am explaining why a form of digital media is still in use.

Because not everyone has gigabit fiber run to their door. Streaming is not always the answer. I have read through all the back and forth here, but this is the point that was lost in the conversation. While it may be obsolete to you, it's still the easiest way to transfer large amounts of data to someone that might not have any internet other than their cell phone service.

Do you really want to fuck around and find out...

Those pixel stealing whores!

So far, the Reddit contributor program is limited to users in the United States (to start, at least) who are over the age of 18 and can verify their identity via Persona and Stripe.

Guys, here's the real reason. So they can positively identify you. Evidently this is how much that knowledge is worth. They can probably then start selling your posted data to other companies that have also "verified" you via Persona and Stripe. Once those datasets start getting linked together, well I will let your imagination run with that.

Excellent movie.

The Banshees of Inisherin. I liked it. It was different, and I am good with that.

Monster Cables enters the chat...

Have not been back. I even go so far as to block bots on here that just seem to harvest posts straight from reddit, or link directly back to reddit. They can keep it.

Maybe Crowdstrike? I know I see it on our linux machines. I am not endorsing it one way or the other. I will say that we have had a couple of incidents where I thought it was taking up more cpu in a high cpu situation, but our admins turned it off, and that wasn't the problem. So I guess it's working ok. One of their updates caused some issues one time, and I don't recall the exact details, but I think that was a one off and they haven't done it again.

Is it just me, or is powershell fucking horrible?

Ok, let me rephrase that. We were put in a situation where we had to gamble.

On ubuntu you can use the "apt-mark hold" command to keep certain packages from updating.

Eg: sudo apt-mark hold nvidia-kernel-common-470-server

Here's the fucked up part. We were all told to NOT make the payments. Well in hindsight, that was a bad idea, because I could have almost paid off my loans interest free. Now I go back to owing $10K+ and will have to pay interest on it. This whole situation is really shitty for everyone.

That looks good too. On mine I was just thinking about hooking that little loop that is in the center. Yours would work for the handle.

Nice. The news station KXAN did a story on it about a week ago, and there's video of this guy taking off from the shopping center. What a douche.

I really hope the FAA pulls his license over this shit. His daddy owns the helicopter so this is just some entitled asshole, who I hope gets to sit in traffic with the rest of us soon.

Hey everybody, look at mr fancy pants over here! My bags did not come with any sort of fastening device, and besides, that's why I own a 3d printer. To solve problems like this.
