Due to lemmy.world blocking pirating communities, I will now be using !CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Shit, I’m even grateful for when you all tell me off.
Oh fuck off!
Just kidding! I haven’t seen any of your posts here (mostly because I sort by all) but yeah the people in this sub are top tier.
A few weeks ago I came here to ask about building my own computer and which parts to get because it had been years since I’ve done so and everyone was nice about it.
Fwiw, egg prices did come down after the last shortage… But not back down to pre-shortage levels.
It looks like egg sellers took a page out of airline companies. Jack up the price. There is outrage. Lower prices a few weeks apart until it’s at a point that is larger than when you started but people seem to be okay with.
Why do you have so many porn tabs open?
There is a saying in engineering.
Anyone can build a bridge.
It takes an engineer who can build a bridge just strong enough to let cars cross it.
If it’s for software you like, yes. Lemmy apps are a great example of this.
A lifetime license isn’t going to sustain the dev long term. If you like the app, buy a monthly subscription that gives them predictable income every month. Do a year if you feel confident about it. But honestly monthly is probably best.
For shitty corporate apps like Adobe, pirate that shit.
Yup. Never ever buy lifetime licenses.
Even on software you love. Especially for software you love.
I wouldn’t trust those man pages. They haven’t been updated in almost 2000 years.
It was a one-time spell for the son of the main dev.
Iirc the way that blind works is by verifying you work at a specific company but then that email address cannot be used again.
It’s not associated with your specific account.
Someone who worked at blind explained that but there’s no way to know this for sure.
I’m imagining the scene from Step Brothers:
Spider: Can you eat the ants but not my eggs?
Frog: YUP! Can you protect me from other things that want to eat me?
Spider: YUP! Did we just become best friends?!
Frog: YUP!
This exactly. NAS+RAID gives you a backup of your local media. It can account for one of your three copies and one of your storage mediums. But you still need something off site.
So assuming you had a copy on your computer proper, it could work. Better than no backups.
I wish there was a good way to store a backup of my media. I recently suffered a terrible hard drive issue. I lost a terabyte of media. Fortunately, the pirate ship has saved me and has me rethinking some of my backup methodologies.
Outside of periodically backing up onto an external hard drive, I haven’t been able to find a reasonably priced online backup solution that isn’t going to fuck me when I have to pull data out. Egress fees are killer.
The problem is that they can’t control open source drivers. They could, however, release a printer that ran on proprietary closed source drivers. But they’d have to spend money on developers to maintain that code whereas right now, drivers are more or less stable and developed for free.
What they could do is require the use of HP printer paper, with embedded RFID or watermarks that would be readable by HP printers. I’m honestly surprised they haven’t gone down this road.
Privacy: I have blinds on my windows. I control whether they are open or closed, but they aren’t secure. You could break a window and look inside if you really wanted to.
Security: my glass storm door has a lock. But privacy is only there when I close the front door.
There is overlap between these two concepts but one does not imply the other.
These states:
At least Amazon is thinking of the shareholders.
Maybe but it’s almost a $2trillion dollar company. Might be a shell, but it’s popular.
The hardest thing about Linux Mint is installing all of your software. It’s daunting even for very established users.
I moved from Ubuntu to LM a few months ago and I’ve enjoyed it.
You’d think it should be less expensive.
But then you’re not thinking of increasing shareholder value.
How dare you!
