Set up pi-vpn so you can tunnel back into your home network whenever you're away!

Straight from the source.

And a funny quote I found from Cory Doctorow a year ago: "One in four web users has installed a blocker, making it (in the words of Doc Searls) the largest con­sumer boycott in history".

All sorts of people are fed up with this shit.

Boycotts work when people care enough: https://www.workandmoney.com/s/boycotts-shocked-world-439e32fbe0a9487f

Does that really matter? The owner of a given instance can still choose to sell everything on their server, no?

It’s unchecked because customers don’t really care. When is the last time there was a boycott of a game due to how the developers are treated?

I’ve used it for years via RetroPie so hopefully I can copy over all my existing saves and just keep going!

Oh I know it’s minimal effort to spin one up, especially for a static page. It’s just funny that that’s how this goes now.

You know it’s serious when you’ve set up a whole new subdomain for this one big!

parse the astronomical amounts of personal data corporations and governments have been collecting for the last 20 years

Always the plan, funnily enough. They didn't necessarily know what they'd need the data for, just knew it was valuable and should be sucked up and saved until the opportunity presented itself.

Schumer’s not the one saying we can’t afford those things

Keyword searches stopped being useful years ago. Every site owner stuffed every single word they could think of into that field making the whole thing effectively useless.

It’s like how they’re now returning results stuffed to the brim with AI-written crap. Google can only show what’s on the web and that’s all the web is now.

The text of the constitution only mentions being 35 "to serve". Nothing at all about that having to be true during the election.

Much cheaper to have an external company do these things sometimes

I’d trust a wish.com raft more than that thing

It’s bosses who are sick of Teams meetings. “You just can’t collaborate like you can in an office setting” is what I heard most during my job hunt.

Start now and you can be a COVID Historian!

I’m just looking forward to JerryRigEverything snapping this in half like a cracker and then the whole internet exploding in anger over his video.

What’s the reason? Using more electricity than whole nations just to move some money around hardly seems worth the cost.

We saw it at Blizzard but the woman they hired left within a year because she was paid less than her male counterpart.

He’s commenting on bad reporting, and in particular a confusion that no one in this thread here seems to be making.
