Probably meant he wanted them to pay him protection money, lol.

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.

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…

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!

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.

Cool trailer and all, but they seem to have copied the interiors, the exteriors and even the back story directly from Dredd? o_O

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.

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.

If you turn on resist fingerprinting then supposedly yes. It does pass the test with fingerprint.com then. Assuming you’re using a VPN of course.

I’ve been running with resist fingerprinting enabled for about a year and aside from the annoyance of having all your new windows spawn at a very small fixed size, the only major issue is knowing that for some websites to work you may have to enable HTML5 canvas for them. (It’s an icon that will appear in the location bar and you will know to look for if things that are supposed to be graphics in the web page are just a bunch of striped boxes instead.)

All the Gen-Zers made me get it because they were loathe to communicate on the elderly platform of Twitter (even though they were all on Periscope). But of course, now they’ve largely moved on to god knows where and I still throw down the occasional sunset pic for the ones that show up a couple times a week.

This is kinda genius, lol

I would absolutely send him an email to the effect of

“Per our multiple verbal conversations, this is just to serve as notice that, in my professional opinion, your refusal to allow me to upgrade a system at risk of multiple security vulnerabilities on a platform that is no longer supported is a risk that you are choosing to accept against my advise.”

with a list of known major vulnerabilities attached if possible.

That way at least if this comes back to bite the company on the ass, he can’t say “Well he never told me this was a problem!”

To me this sounds like either your GPU acceleration is off or is choking somehow. I’d start with checking your GPU acceleration settings and updating your drivers if they aren’t the latest. If that doesn’t work, maybe try FF with a fresh config to see if it’s a setting you’ve enabled?

Let’s do it slightly differently, let’s make the mandatory retirement age for political office the median life expectancy age for the entire country. If the politicians, etc can manage to make everyone live longer, they can hold office longer.

Similarly, take away their separate and different medical coverage and put them on the same Medicare system everyone else in the country has to use.
