I'm loving people's reactions Everytime this pops up.

It says you cannot change your home instance once you're logged in.

Gee, take your pick: you have the bad rebranding, the yanking and cancellation of some of their best shows (seriously, Westworld? You owned it!), cancelling already completed movies (Batgirl) or raising the price and removing 4k as a default among other things.

I thought musk was doing a Speedrun on how to kill a company but didn't realize he had competition.

That picture doesn't say much. What is the weather like right now?

I may be looking at it wrong but there's an odd flaw to me in the premise. I view "pay money to avoid being shocked" as something that is happening to you, out of your control. Pressing the button, regardless of the outcome, is something you are choosing to do and is most likely a result of curiosity and bordem.

I think a better approach would have been "if you push this button, the simulation is over and you loose", and then see what people do.

Oh I'm not absolving them of their culpability either, however there is a two pronged approach that is happening right now. The first are those mouth pieces as you listed, but then there is the amplification of the message that is occuring and guiding conversations that is the work on troll farms. This more natural "grass roots" conversation is what I'm likening to their concerns about AI. The difference is you're just taking the human out of the equation.

Unlike the GOP is already doing via Russia troll farms?

How it's implemented can vary, but you're gonna take one of three approaches

• Microsegmentstion - On a home network this is the hardest but ensures there's no overlap
• Separate VLAN - this is usually good if your router can support it and have multiple gateways for each VLAN. Your router can then restrict traffic. Unifi gear does this well and I use this set up to segment my guest and IoT traffic
• Separate subnets - if your router doesn't support multiple VLANs this can work, but you still need a router that supports it

The latter two can actually work with an unmanaged switch as long as you tag your vlans correctly. The key is having a router than can handle it.

But the beard and your clothes are all things you control. You don't expect someone to change their looks for you. So likewise you shouldn't be expecting developers to meet your stylistic demands.

Given the activity pub nature I think the closest you would get would be to filter by an instance. So your home instance would get all the ones it sees via the pub and then could filter based on name. To get a true "local" view you'd either have to auth anonymously as a different user (couldn't comment) or would have to log in to that instance as one of their users (disjointed comment history).

Edit: I think this goes under the umbrella of allowing individuals to filter instances, just a reverse application of it. I know that's an oft talked about feature.

It's probably the most secure,. commonly available, messaging platform right now. They keep a bare minimum of metadata on their servers. Basically enough to link you on the platform. After that, everything is e2e encrypted and they can't tell authorities anything.

Other platforms are a sliding scale from to/from/time data, all the way up to full messages.

I have never understood why people put so much stock in icons. It's like people getting upset over the new pixelated reddit icon. It's all reminiscent of the custom ring tones and call back song that people used to obsess over.

More meat for the grinder.

Temperature doesn't necessarily equate with lumens. I prefer closer to 2700K (warm), as once you pass 3000-5000 it's just a very harsh white, but a higher number of lumens (depending on space 1500+). Also you need to consider the way you want your light projected. A direct beam can be good for focused work but can cause some harsh shadows. Using up lights or wall washes can give you the reflected light that makes the room seem more lit without harsh shadows.

Edit: something else to consider is CRI (color reproduction index). Try to find 90+ bulbs as those will ensure the colors it lights up look true to their originals. Makes a big difference especially if you're painting.

Easy to confuse stupidity with malice. They're chasing one thing and one thing only: the almighty dollar. Look at it through that lens and their actions make sense. For the rest of us though, that's just stupid.

Maybe mentally I've already been hit with inflation, but $2 and "significant increase" do not tie out to me.

Pregnant and he was 59?

I did that as a kid in school passing notes!

For a split second I thought this was for Sync and went to search for it on the store.

I heard a teenager describing a 40 year old as "elderly". Context matters.
