Anyone sold source code?
Brave has been off limits for me ever since I saw my QAnon nutjob father using it lol.
ORM with an easy and straightforward way to execute custom queries is the sweet spot to me. Let the ORM handle the basics (and migrations), override / add optimized queries where relevant.
The only employee replaced was the owner, which I'm not sure that counts. Another one resigned a few months after, because they found a new job.
The company I work for got bought out and from my perspective things have only improved. From the perspective of the random customer who has the first thing go wrong in half a decade though? Those immediately blame the acquisition.
Ditto. Now I can take the reins and replace it now instead of when I need it.
You can setup FDE that utilizes TPM like Windows does with bitlocker, in such a way that your backup phrase is only necessary if something about your hardware changes.
Last I set it up however, there wasn't any easy/automatic way. Searching "luks TPM" should get you started.
Netflix you just can't get from Google Play, but people report having no problem installing from Aurora (basically a Google Play store frontend).
I'm not sure how it works on Graphene as I personally just rooted my phone but didn't take the plunge to Graphene, but there is a list of compatible banking apps here: https://privsec.dev/banking

I started vaping around when I was 18, back when disposable coils were first starting to be a thing and the paradigm was mainly making your own coils, testing resistance, and then pulling your own cotton. Very much a manual process, and not a known thing just yet. Smoke shops were just starting to carry juice.
I started after I got in trouble at work for eating sunflower seeds. Back then I had a pretty bad tick where I had to do something with my mouth quite often. My coworker mentioned it and I saw it as an alternative, I also liked the idea of replacing caffeine with nicotine as a stimulant.
Easy to guess, but my symptoms and tick were ADHD related. It worked for a short while, but soon I was using both caffeine and nicotine, though by the time I quit vaping for the first time I had completely gotten over the tick.
Since I started I've been through a few cycles of quitting and resuming. I've never quit because I saw it as an addiction, and mainly have quit for financial or health reasons, if any at all. And by health I'm referring to purely the impact stimulants had on my blood pressure, nothing to do with vaping itself.
Being ADHD my addictions have always been as transient as my hobbies, and I've quit both nicotine and caffeine multiple times and only the last few times grew conscious of the withdrawal symptoms.
I do recognize it as a legitimate addiction, as the time I quit intentionally (asthmatic friend was visiting) I did notice the desire to resume, although that may also be related to finally finding working ADHD treatment.
If you plan properly you can use 0nic liquid and mix it with nic liquid to slowly wean yourself off nicotine, and have personally coached two people through this process, one of which was a lifetime smoker.
Aside from health concerns from nicotine itself, the only health issue I've had from vaping was suffocating myself by vaping too much lol.
I do think vaping in public should be treated the same as smoking, and that access be behind an age restriction. But I don't see it as anything more than a mildly unhealthy vice. My addiction to sugar and sweet stuff has been much more harmful to me and is completely unchecked here in the US.
Long ago at my first job I worked as IT in a warehouse. This story involves two employees, Retired and Pretender.
Retired is a retired U.S. marine, working in shipping, he also had permission from the owner to open carry in the office and warehouse.
Pretender was in sales and is kind of a tool who had to do all the cool things everyone else was. Three of us had motorcycles and would go on day rides. Pretender found out and less than a week later he had a motorcycle and wanted to join us (without a license). He sucked, and there are a few other examples but aren't the topic of this story.
Pretender overheard me and a coworker talking about the guns we had. Needing to fit in, he said he'd bring his to work tomorrow and wouldn't answer when we said he didn't have to and just to tell us the model. Sure enough, next day he wants to show us this obviously new gun that he obviously had no training or common sense for
We played along and then went about our day. Later on, we hear Retired and Pretender in a pretty heated argument as they walk past our cubicles. Then apparently Pretender walked to his car with Retired in tow, and reached into his car and grabbed his gun.
Retired (peacefully) put a stop to it, the owner came out to figure out wtf was going on, fired Pretender on the spot and let him retrieve his belongings before seeing him off. He also called in the non emergency line and had an officer come over to put a police report on file. Unsurprisingly, the officer used an older mugshot to confirm it he had the right character.
What were they arguing about you might wonder? Pretender was telling Retired how to package an order for shipping, Retired worked in shipping for years and was having none of it. A few months later the owner got a call from the state saying Pretender filed for unemployment and to confirm the reason he was laid off, with he had listed as "downsizing". We had a laugh over that.
TL:DR: moron coworker drew a gun on a retired marine why open carried and fortunately didn't die, but he did get fired.
My entire family uses Plex and I managed to get them using it years ago. I still occasionally have to help them setup a new device.
I've toyed with the idea of setting up Jellyfin for personal use, but I'm not ready to set aside the time it'd take me to get them on Jellyfin.
From a career perspective using it enough to know whether you'd like to or be willing to work with it in the future is probably enough. Then when you're looking you know whether you want to apply for jobs focused on it.
On that topic I've been on the market and haven't seen Svelte mentioned a single time when searching, granted I've probably only looked at a couple hundred listings (most being WFH).
I don’t understand the logic behind this. If it’s your job to analyze and deduce whether certain content is or is not acceptable, why shouldn’t you make assessments on a case by case basis?
The bit about "ignoring it" was more in jest. We do review each report and handle it in a case by case basis, my point with this statement is that someone hosting questionable content is going to generate alot of reports, regardless of whether it is illegal or not, and we won't take an operating loss and let them keep hosting with us.
Usually we try and determine if it was intentional or not, if someone is hosting CSAM and is quick and responsive with resolving the issue, we generally won't immediately terminate them for it. But even if they (our client) is a victim, we are not required to host for them and after a certain point we will terminate them.
So when we receive a complaint about a user hosting CSAM, we review it and see they are hosting a site advertising itself as intended to allow users to distribute AI generated CP, we aren't going to let him continue hosting with us.
Even if you remove CSAM from the equation you still have to continuously sift through content and report any and all illegal activities - regardless of its frequency.
This is not an accurate statement, at least in the U.S. where we are based. We are not (yet) required to sift through any and all content uploaded on our servers (not to mention the complexity of such an undertaking making it virtually impossible at our level). There have been a few laws proposed that would have changed that, as we've seen in the news from time to time. We are required to handle reports we receive about our clients.
Keep in mind when I say we are a hosting provider, I'm referring to pretty high up the chain - we provide hosting to clients that would say, host a Lemmy instance, or a Discord bot, or a personal NextCloud server, to name a few examples. A common dynamic is how much abuse is your hosting provider willing to put up with, and if you recall with the CSAM attacks on Lemmy instances part of the discussion was risking getting their servers shutdown.
Which is valid, hosting providers will only put up with so much risk to their infrastructure, reputation, and / or staff. Which is why people who run sites like Lemmy or image hosting services do usually want to take an active role in preventing abuse - whether or not they are legally liable won't matter when we pull the plug because they are causing us an operating loss.
And it’s the right of any ... [continued]
I'm just going to reply to the rest of your statement down here, I think I did not make my intent/purpose clear enough. I originally replied to your statement talking about AI being used to make CP in the future by providing a personal anecdote about it already happening. To which you asked a question as to why I defined AI generated CP as CSAM, and I clarified. I wasn't actually responding to the rest of that message. I was not touching the topic or discussion of what impact it might have on the actual abuse of children, merely providing my opinion as to why, whether legal or not, hosting providers aren't ever going to host that content.
The content will be hosted either way, but whether it is merely relegated to "offshore" providers but still accessible via normal means and not criminal content, or becomes another part of the dark web, will be determine at some point in the future. It hasn't become a huge issue yet but it is rapidly approaching that point.
The report came from a (non-US) government agency. It wasn't reported as AI generated, that was what we discovered.
But it highlights the reality - while AI generated content may be considered fairly obvious for now, it won't be forever. Real CSAM could be mixed in at some point, or, hell, the characters generating it could be feeding it real CSAM to have it recreate it in a manner that makes it harder to detect.
So what does this mean for hosting providers? We continuously receive reports for a client and each time we have to review it and what, use our best judgement to decide if it's AI generated? We add the client to a list and ignore CSAM reports for them? We have to tell the government that it's not "real CSAM" and expect it to end there?
No legitimate hosting provider is going to knowingly host CSAM, AI generated or not. We aren't going to invest legal resources into defending that, nor are we going to jeopardize the mental well-being of our staff by increasing the frequency of those reports.
It already is being used to make CSAM. I work for a hosting provider and just the other day we closed an account because they were intentionally hosting AI generated CSAM.
I've got a double whammy, ADHD and medical issues. But my coping mechanism for ADHD scheduling is calendar entries with multiple reminders. It's hard to learn new habits, but I wouldn't let another ADHD person use it as an excuse more than a couple times before I just moved on. As for medical issues, they're generally in the morning and I usually plan afternoon or later so if I have to cancel there is a bit of advance notice.
Ha, I don't fuck around with anything that make break my PC or phone until a weekend with no commitments comes up.
I can second this. Perhaps not a distinct voice for every character, but any recurring character.
The only stuff that's obtrusive for me is sounds, and even then it's usually only sounds that have rhythm. For the most part once I am no longer actively observing something and shift my attention elsewhere it stops existing for me. It makes forming attachments hard to say the least.
Licensing code is a pain and realistically you need to consult a lawyer who specializes in the area.
When I do freelance work I sell them the code and a perpetual use license that allows them to do pretty much anything outside of selling the code. If they want to own the code itself that's extra. But I also haven't consulted a lawyer either and I've only done that sort of transaction twice.
