Have you met Brittons? Especially the kind that typically go on package holidays to Spain?

I tried using Firefox for a mapping tool a few months ago and it cheerfully gobbled up 34GB of RAM before I killed it. Neither Chrome nor Edge suffered the same memory leak, so I think there’s still some work to be done!

Nope, wrong on all counts, but thanks for playing.

Erring on the side of maintaining the privacy of strangers is always better than the alternative.

No problem at all, it’ll take how long it takes! It’s not like Reddit gave anyone advance warning that they were going to self destruct, so the evacuation is all happening in a bit of a rush. =)

If they tried to hire enough mods to do a quality job of it they’d be bankrupt by the end of the year. I don’t know if they’ll have enough capable volunteers for a significant fraction of the subreddits.

Twitch is hardly a profit center, streaming isn’t where you’d go to boost profits.

Ah okay yeah I can see that reading. I think Premium has been growing well, so hopefully that’ll change in the future!

YouTube premium is pretty reasonably priced if you consume a lot of content on there. I probably consume a minimum of 12 hours every week not including music, so I feel I’m paying a fair price.

Premium more than covers costs, with a reasonable profit margin included. That’s what it really costs to host and serve that much data.

And part 3 of the definition is basically useless as it just defines it as the same language again!

Can you expand on why you’d want to autoplay full screen videos? I’m not sure I’m understanding you correctly, or if I am then I’m not understanding why that’s desirable?

Yeah I was thinking of using Perun’s referral link to Ground News, and sticking it in that spot. Probably only after the end of the month though.

Hi all! Couple of decades in IT, from helpdesk up to both Senior Consultant as well as IT Director. I really enjoy both the technical aspects of the job as well as developing junior employees and have wandered back and forth between both types of roles.

I read once a long time ago (Might have been one of Tay’s threads?) that operational excellence was 90% of security, and really took that to heart. My clients and employers have generally been SMBs, so real security wins have often been stuff like “Hey what if the computers had passwords on them?” or “We’re no longer keeping everyone’s passwords in a big Excel sheet”, but over time those have added to to some decent defense. I’m always looking to grow beyond the basics, and hope that this community can be part of that journey!

I mean, there are very different flavors of communist, so it kind of makes sense. You can believe in communal ownership of all non-personal property without supporting the violent oppression of dissent.

Okay but none of that is relevant to the question of “Are computers in their current condition better drivers than humans?”. No one here thinks that Elon is cool or good, I haven’t seen a single fanboy comment so far. But that doesn’t change the hard facts about the things that a couple of his companies (who have hired a lot of very good engineers) have accomplished. Pretending that Tesla and SpaceX have zero accomplishments or benefits does not enhance your arguments against their boss, it detracts from them by discrediting you. There are plenty of legitimate criticisms to make, many of them absolutely damning, there’s no need to falsify anything to condemn them.

I’m finally making my way through all the MegaMan X games. I only ever beat the first one as a kid, so there’s a lot for me to explore. I’m still beating my head against X2, so it’s not going super well…

Oh gods no, that’s one of the only companies who would make an even more toxic mess of a platform. I’ll stick with the fediverse, thanks.

Oh that’s a good review, I’ve been meaning to subscribe to it for a while but have gotten busy. Thanks for the recommendation!

Did it work?
