Not sure. But Proton, Apple, passmail SimpleLogin (got names mixed up) and some other providers have a way you can create email aliases on the fly that forward to your real address. I think Microsoft does too but it was limited last time I looked at it.

If this isn’t a phishing email itself, your email address was probably harvested from a compromised site you used it to sign up with. There are sites where you can check to see if it’s compromised. This is why I started using email aliases when signing up for any site or service. It shows where it was compromised or you’ll find some companies will share it with partners or sell your info sometimes.

I’m in some chats with right wingers. At first they were happy. Which was actually nice for once and we stopped talking about politics every .002 seconds. Then they went down this batshit, bizarre conspiracy hole about Biden not really withdrawing because it wasn’t announced on whitehouse.gov. They’re just making fun of Kamala now. Jimmies are definitely russled.

It’s a big deal. Know a few people with either annoying or downright awful symptoms. All were vaccinated. How quickly we forget.

I played the hell out of this game. The sensation of speed was addicting.

Used them since the company started but stopped this year due to the cost going up. Never had an issue.

I dab with a square or two of toilet paper. A roll lasts a long time. Probably unnecessary because ours is precise but it’s really humid here.

I don’t know if it’s still the case but kernel support and related was nearly always an issue when I tested Raspi alternatives for building homebrew robots. OS updates were a gamble and support and documentation was not good to say the least. Raspi also has every HAT you can imagine to extend their capabilities too.

The desktop that knows what’s best for you.

I use the Switzerland server if it or another site does this.

savagegeese are great at this.

There’s a company doing this already. Giant battery sits behind the cab. They drive up, unplug it like a LEGO with a huge robot arm, plunk in a new one and good to go.

If this is the case where he set up cameras to catch her doing it, and then also took multiple videos demonstrating the machine foaming up… I don’t even know what to say. There’s no fixing that type of behavior right? She’ll probably poison someone else now.

Yep. It’s such a nice piece of hardware. And the games hold up to this day. Glad it’s appreciated now.

They kinda screwed up the timing with it. Launched when everyone and their mother already had a PS2 and got left in the dust. Was also difficult to get one due to limited supply. People tended to buy one console and stick with it for 5+ years, so the only people standing in line were fans or people with money to burn.

In addition to what others said, due to the architecture it was notoriously hard to develop for. The Playstation dev kits were a dream to work with in comparison. Sega of Japan hedged their bets on 2D remaining king due to the Japanese market preferring arcade ports and slowness to accept change, and slapped on some 3D capabilities almost as an afterthought. Meanwhile Sega of America assumed the US market would scoff at spending 500 on a console when the 32X had just released and was very similar (and also selling poorly).

Sony took risks by pushing 3D hard, were aggressive with pricing, did a ton of marketing, and completely ate Sega’s lunch. Despite the Saturn being arguably more powerful and better made than the PS1, it wasn’t enough to right the ship. And it continued on this downward spiral due to the negative impressions that Sega was dying with the Dreamcast where they again flubbed the launch timing while people were enamored with the N64 and the PS1 had a massive library.

There were lots of other shenanigans involved, I’m skimming the surface here. Regardless, both consoles have some bangers and I recommend trying some out if you ever have the chance. The hardware is also very cool if you can find them cheap but might need refurbed at this age.

Hackernews is usually reliable to see what the new hotness is. But yeah this is a frequent problem.

Now do the “purist” that spends their entire life trying to strip everything possible off to “save memory” when they should probably just use Alpine or NetBSD.

This is a good thing. No matter how they try to paint it. I only stuck with some when interest and content waned because I was grandfathered in. When Netflix etc. took that away it made dumping them an easy decision. Not an “impulsive” one. There’s no point in being loyal to these companies. Especially when they pulled this shit after previously they claimed we were locked in on that pricing and started forcing ads. Greedy bastards.

Read about his relationship with Matisse. It tells you a lot about what he was like.
