  • Recommend privacyguides.org over .io. The site you mentioned is full of bad advice because they use paid links to less-private services

  • It's not cost effective nor is it pure. Both mineral water and glacier water are far from pure water. People want them because they're not pure, in a chemical sense.

  • So...on my WordPress blog I used to say "follow me on twitter!" with a link to my twitter account. Then folks would click on it, and they'd get updated about my new articles published to WordPress by twitter (because I'd write a post on twitter linking to all my new articles).

    Since the fediverse appeared, I now say "follow me on mastodon!" with a link to my mastodon account. Then folks click on it, and they get updated about my new articles published to WordPress by mastodon (because I write a post on mastodon linking to all my new articles).

    So now if I have this WordPress ActivityPub plugin, what do I say instead of "follow me on X?" And what should it link-to?

    This is a question of UX. I could explain to someone on mastodon how to follow my WordPress site using ActivityPub (tell them to copy the URL into their mastodon instance search field). But is there any one link that will magically work for all users to subscribe-to WordPress in whatever their ActivityPub client is?

  • RO water would be the opposite of what you'd want if you want all the non-water things in your ice

  • You havent drank glacier water. It's much more than just frozen water.

  • I have worked for companies with thousands of employees, yes. It helps to be right about the cost, security, and usability benefits of using FOSS and be able to stand your ground and argue valid points.

    But I do prefer companies with less than 100 people.

  • Sometimes you have to do what is right instead of what brings you the most money

  • I make it very clear at the interview stage that I use Linux. Its never been an issue.

    If someone tried to force me to use proprietary software, I'd say no. If they wanted to fire me over that, it would be ridiculous. It's free and easy to support FOSS. Its costly & difficult to support proprietary software, so its not a hard sell.

    You have more power than you think.

  • I tell customers to use Libre Office. I tell them its free, cross platform, give them a link to download it, and ask if they have any further questions.

    If they said IT issues, I'd ask to talk with their IT department. Its not difficult to get IT to install trusted, open-source software.

  • Lots of justification in this. Just be the change you want to see.

    I only work with libre formats at work. If someone wants to collaborate, they can easily install libre office or gimp or freecad or gnu cash or whatever. Most libre software is free and cross-platform.

  • I have only ever used Linux at work. I tried amacbookd once, then switched back to Linux.

  • Probably better to use a tool that doesn't require internet, such as QuickDic

  • I think in most countries you dont have to file anything because it happens automatically

  • You'd need a CDN to push any reasonable amount or streaming bandwidth. For less than 20 people any number of video chat software would work fine

  • I was thinking the crystals would turn to fairy dust then you'd start floating and fly off to never never land

  • How do they get the bandwidth for free? Can it handle millions of viewers?

  • This is an article from The Intercept. why was it downvoted?

  • Derailments and crashes in the 119-year-old New York City subway system are rare. The worst crash in city subway history happened on Nov. 1, 1918, when a speeding train derailed in a sharply curved tunnel in Brooklyn, killing at least 93 people.

    More recently, five people died on Aug. 28, 1991, when a 4 train derailed at Manhattan's 14th Street Union Square station. That train’s motorman was found at fault for alcohol intoxication and served 10 years in prison for manslaughter.

    Well, much safer than cars

  • Nah they just light that shit on fire and all of the problems magically disappear
