Embrace. Extend. Extinguish.

And make sure they hear about it in such a way that it seems interesting. The fediverse doesn't use any basic marketing plan techniques, and enough people are conditioned to them (after a lifetime of growing up surrounded by advertising on television and in their spaces) that anything which doesn't fit that template scoots right by.

I don't, because stuff like that is a little too touchy to wrap in a cute shell alias. If I'm going to update a box, I'm going to update a box. If I'm going to reboot a machine, I want to be reminded that I'm going to reboot a machine (which in turn is a reminder that there are other people using stuff there and not to fuck their days up without at least a little warning).

Are they going to unfuck the layer management UI?

It may as well be a passive-aggressive depopulation strategy. Until it's not passive anymore, anyway.

Practice safe hex - always wear a write protect chip!

Power cells are batteries. I keep forgetting that not everybody's worked for Ultium Cells.

Unless somebody specifically installs an explosive charge in a device, it's highly unlikely that modern power cells will detonate. If you want to get technical about it, they're incendiaries. They don't explode, they burn vigorously.

Odds I've been hearing for Trump being re-elected are about 3.4 to 1.

The thing about an operation as big as Amazon is that one or two people work on one component of one thing. If the folks who work on that one thing both bail, it doesn't slow down Amazon or any of its constituent components overmuch. The way things are architected it can chug along for quite a while until somebody else is tasked with learning about and maintaining it.

This is, unfortunately, true. The kids of some family friends are trying in the worst way to get in at Amazon or Facebook to make their bones. They figure that they can build their brands by surviving there for four or five years (Amazon's reputation for burning through people like toilet paper at Wing Wars is well known in the tech industry, and respected), sock money away because they still live at home, and get a jump on the good life.

I can't tell 'em what to do. They asked for my advice and gave it. What they do is their problem.

I didn't know Audacious was still being developed.

Additionally, there are hangers-on who are banging the drum about another January 6 if they don't get their way. It's foolish to take them at their word and think that it only means a voter supporession billl.

The golden rule: "He who has the gold makes the rules."

People want to be lied to.

So much for going on a Shodan safari in South Korea.

News flash: IoT doesn't always mean "backend is on AWS."

Sheesh.

That squares with the greyprints I've looked at. However, the article specifically talks about conversion kits.

The only way you won't have to provide PII is if you buy it from someone outside of the exchange ecosystem (from somebody face to face with cash or a gift card (note: Local Bitcoin has been gone for about a year now)). Exchanges have to comply with KYC (Know Your Customer) laws if they want to operate in the US, which is why they're asking for PII.

There are still a bunch of torrents being seeded out there.
