Just log onto mastodon.social and be done with it. That’s the one that will still be running until the they turn out the lights on the service, I figure. And then go kick in a buck or two a month on Patreon to help defray development and server costs. (Not being the product is worth a donation by itself, I figure.)

Dude is gonna come back at him with the first mention of lead in the bible and say, no this is where God created lead, lol.

I have literally never downloaded pirated software since OS 9 went away and OS X became a thing. Open up your task manager and look at how many processes there are (Window, Mac or Linux) and ask yourself if you’re going to notice the one extra process that is out of place.

As for files with extra extensions, this is why you should always set Explorer/Finder/whatever to show all file extensions the very first thing, regardless of what OS you’re running too.

Interesting. Luckily I only needed it to power my docking station so I can plug in power, ethernet, USB and monitor with one plug so not an issue for me luckily.

Yeah, the whole experience of going from lightning cables and mini display port and such has been less than overwhelming. I eventually had to buy a USB C from the Apple Store to get one that actually did 100W power instead of just lying about it on the box.

The community backlash is the bug as far as Sony is concerned. They’re trying to work around it now…

Remember to rig the vote, folks! /s

(And remember, whenever they rage about anything insane like Harris rigging the vote, it’s always projection.)

All I want is the ability to use the freaking emojis panel on macOS. This bug was identified over a year ago and they haven’t fixed it yet, because I think they’re secretly hoping Apple will just magically fix it for them.

Cool, thanks!

Yeah but the OS controls what it does with the signal.

On macOS if CapsLock is down hitting Shift does nothing. Not sure what happens on Linux; I thought I remembered it also not lower casing text with CapsLock and Shift both active but I could be wrong.

I wonder if you can run it off any USB C PD that will do 100w+ without buying the battery pack. I know my MBP USB C power supply does at least 100, if not more on MagSafe.

This is only a Windows thing AFAIK?

Last post that I can find by her is on Mastodon, promoting a new electronics book she helped co-author, I think?

But yeah, she has been super quiet since they “clipped her wings”. But she said she would be too. Censorship sucks and I can’t believe we let an entire country get away with it and still did business with them the whole time.

As an example of this, I believe SexyCyborg got in trouble for reporting on leaks via people’s 3rd party Chinese language keyboards. So her theory is that the keyboard apps people had installed leaked data when Hong Kong protesters were communicating with the press, rather than the actual Signal app. But… as stated above, people have to take responsibility for their device and in this case, they had chosen to install apps with leak issues into the communication process.

Man the one on the right just hunkers down in the middle of the trail, no roosting! And they taste dusty when they fly up and hit you in the face while you’re mountain biking at night.

Some meme stuff, hexbear and lemmygrad basically.

Probably my yahoo mail account. I’ve mostly transitioned off it, but a few things still come to it and it predates even my gmail account (which I barely ever use either). Apple ID’s Hide My Email ability has basically rendered all the other ones pointless though since I can just generate a new fake email address whenever I want to register for something fishy. I wish phone numbers worked the same way.

These are a bit unique from the lists everyone else has, I think:

• Lemmy Keyboard Navigation (like the kbd shortcuts from RES)
• Google Popup Blocker (stop the annoying log in with Google popups everywhere on the web)
• OneTab (this one lets you collapse a whole window of tabs down into a list in the OneTab tab that you can later reexpand into a window again when you re-attack whatever subject all the tabs were about)

These are the more standard ones that everyone seems to run:

• UBlock Origin
• Reddit Enhancement Suite
• 2FAS Extension
• BitWarden

I hope like hell the sets of questions were randomized, because if they weren’t, they were tweaked by the surveyors beforehand to try and force a particular result.

Like the AI question was paired with some incredibly crappy options like “A browser that runs 2x slower than your current browser”. Obviously they want you to click that option as least wanted and leave the AI development alone (if that wasn’t a randomized grouping).

Similarly, it looked like they were trying to decide which feature to sacrifice in support of AI dev in later questions, because all 3 would be things I enjoy much more than AI, but I have to rate one as least wanted.

EDIT: OK, thanks for all the responses everyone! Looks like my pairing of AI and 2x slower was just a bad random selection inducing extreme paranoia on my part. Very happy to hear that.

I mean… what’s wrong with stuff like the Fediverse just gradually strangling the commercially-driven internet? I pay a couple bucks a month to a number of different Fediverse providers and if everyone does that, they’ll likely be able to stay self-sufficient and community-oriented. I honestly don’t mind paying websites directly in that fashion as long as my data is portable and not for sale, whereas I know that if I let most commercial websites have my data, they will sell it to whomever and however many times they are capable of, all while enshitifying the user experience on their website as much as possible without making everyone leave completely.

It’s the most frustrating business model possible and why I refuse to give them any more traction than they already have.
