More or less, yes, but they only work in specific, emulated test environments unless you play Apple’s game and get them verified and signed and eventually in the App Store. The latest EU/GDPR stuff might change this a bit, though.

Ridiculously unfunny and eventually a commercial

Putin would never ban X in Russia, are you crazy?

“Hmm yes, banning my best propaganda tool. This is the move.” - Not Putin

It’s all of the above. Sometimes it’s researching in the form of looking around on sites like printables.com or thingiverse to see if someone else has solved the problem already. Scanning is an option too, but it’s tough to get good results with DIY approaches. The barrier to entry is kinda high in terms of money or expertise. When all else fails, there’s CAD. Computer Aided Design. Make it yourself with measurements and some trial and error :)

Hey I’ve got that keyboard. I like it. Give that snoot a boop for me.

Hell yeah brother let’er rip!

Nothing’s wrong with dildos, but it has to be pretty embarrassing to show the world that you read books

For what it’s worth, I also urge the Supreme Court to keep Trump off the ballot.

I got halfway through your comment but when you typed "webstraunt" like it was actually a word I stopped reading and started thinking about how I'd cut off all your fingers so you couldn't type such a festering abortion of a word again

Wow dude, he said “webstaurant” which is the domain name of a website and a portmanteau of web and restaurant. Do extremely common literary devices often give you violent thoughts? Maybe consider therapy or something, damn.

Yeah, I’d assumed it would respect the —metric=false flag when building with docker run, but docker-compose is ostensibly supported and easier to work with. I was able to successfully change other configuration options (such as setting the db to use MySQL instead of the default SQLite) using the docker-compose ‘command’ block, but the metric flag specifically was ignored. It’s entirely possible that this is a bug and not an intentional attempt to hoover up user data. Either way, data collection should be opt-in by default (by law, imo).

All depends on what you collect, how it’s stored, how transparent you are about it, and how easy it is to opt out of. It can definitely be done well.

I thought I’d give this a shot, but the metrics/data collection flag was turned on by default and when I added a command to my docker-compose to turn them off, it was ignored. Then, I created an account and looked for a way to turn them off in the settings and there was none. You expect people interested in self-hosting OSS to be cool with sending data out of their network every time the server is started, a memo is created, a comment is created, a webhook is dispatched, a resource or a user is created?! Also, the metrics are collected by a 3rd party with their own ToS that could change at any time?

Holy hell, hard pass. I’d rather use a piece of paper.

Neat!

The bidets, of course. Ultra fast responsive vending machines for commuters on the go.

Your mileage may vary but by credit union frequently sends me life insurance mailers, and until I asked them to disable it, would INFURIATINGLY embed clickable ads in my online checking activity history. They’d probably stop with the mailers if I yelled at them, tho. Overall I agree with your advice to use credit unions over banks.

Y’all I’m sorry my lemmy client (Memmy for iOS) somehow let me downvote this twice(!!). Both accidentally. And I upvoted it but it didn’t cancel the downvotes!! I ruined chrimmus 😭

Lieutenant Governor. But .. still no.

That’s literally the 7th sentence of the article, which is literally not literally one of the first.

Also, how in the hell is it informative to say x can cause cancer if contaminated with other compounds?? Wow, thanks for that amazing reporting, BBC!

THIS JUST IN! Air causes cancer!!*

*when contaminated with powdered asbestos flakes

I’m confused. I’ve been using Swedish Fish to potty train my kiddo so I’m obviously concerned. But I don’t see any of the scary substances on the ingredients: SUGAR, INVERT SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF CITRIC ACID, WHITE MINERAL OIL, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, RED 40, CARNAUBA WAX

What am I missing?
