The category was "harmful or dangerous content" and reason was "violates ToS"

I've got one progam that I need for work that I cannot get to run on Linux. I've tried WINE on both Ubuntu and Zorin (and winlator for android). I have the installer exe file and try to launch with WINE but then nothing happens. Is that a program problem, WINE limitation, or something else? Is there a different program I should try to launch it?

Witness (keg) stands!

I might call the non-emergency line for things, like if my car was stolen or house broken into. I think the only time I'd call the emergency line is if I felt actively in danger.

Calling the police is a lot like firearm training, never call them on something you don't intend to kill.

I'd be more interested in allowing more than one Android device at a time like MySudo. They let you link Windows with a phone so I wouldn't think it would be too hard to implement.

Never break more than one law at a time.

Reminds me of a line out of a book, don't remember which one, but it was along the lines of 'if you can't say yes, then answer anyway, because I'd rather die with the answer than live with the question'

I hate the settings app so much that I've just learned the powershell commands for setting up printers and changing NIC settings. Honestly it wouldn't be as bad if a. It didn't take forever to load on occasion and b. I could have two settings windows open at once.

It's so hard to find settings there that jumping between network center and add device is not intuitive. If they remove control panel from servers too I might quite my msp job and go work at a grocery store.

The annoying thing is that even without it connected to the internet, it's still slowed down by the OS. I did the same and it's still not as responsive to things like switching inputs as the projector I was using before it.

Would love an OSM map that had surveilance camera locations listed. Looked on organic maps, but that's not an option to place.

I agree it's annoying, but I've been using temp-mail for accounts I'll only ever use once and mysudo for accounts I'll need longer and it's been working well. Except ticketmaster doesn't accept voip numbers for your phone.

+2 but for me it was Plex integration

Seems like it's a backend change and they're removing per creation entirely. Got an email from one of the creators I follow about getting suggestions on how to restructure their tiers for the new system. My guess is it would be tricky to setup a way to have creators do android/web tiers and apple tiers, not to mention confusing. And of course they can't just pull a Spotify and have a pop-up that says 'sorry you must use the web to subscribe' on iPhones.

Makes me want the username American Ninja Worrier.

I do basically that, but with aSamsung tablet, then my phone can be for phone things, calls, messages, emails. Then if I'm out and about and need to check my bank, mobile hotspot to my phone and go from there.

I'm not sure if it would work with how they do user updates, but I'm waiting for someone to make a version of Waze that runs on openstreetmaps. I.E. temporary updates like 'car stopped here' 'cop parked there' 'lane closed ahead'

It seems like the functionality is already there for it, but they'd have to distinguish them from the long term updates like ' this is a business at this address with these hours' that presumably won't change by the next day.

I heard a statistic some years ago, have no source so they may have just pulled it from thin air, that there is a 14 to 1 ratio of cats to people in the US.

I would prefer a privacy conscious alternative to Google Wallet first, then add the crypto stuff, but that's just me

So this is the 'mechanical hound' that RayBradbury was referring to in Farenheit 451.

Perfect, now that I have you here, I have an important question to ask. What is the proper way to refer to people from NZ? I always end up going with something like "oh, they're New Zealish" but I'm pretty sure that's not correct.
