It’s so asinine for them not to allow side-loading and third-party browser engines outside the EU.

It’s more difficult system administration just for them to maintain control.

I just started using Proton mail’s aliases for that and love it. If I see a bunch of spam coming to one particular alias, I’ll just delete it and make a new one. So far, it’s been great

I have great service with IT people because I do this by default. I’ll have already tried some steps myself, so I’ll give them info about what exactly works, doesn’t work, and things that I can or can’t do that might be related to the main issue.

They really appreciate the detail.

Putting it behind the number makes way more sense though, because you don’t read it as “dollar 15”

So I petition to make it okay to write “15$”

Fucking eating just too much that I can’t meet my weight loss goals.

I’m not overweight by any means, but if I don’t fix my diet, all the exercise I do isn’t worth nearly as much.

Ever Upward to the Middle.

I know for absolutely fucking sure I won’t be at the proverbial “top” of society. But since I moved out of my parents house, I’ve slowly been making my way into a solid middle class, fairly comfortable position. I’m a dad, a husband, a typical working class American and I’m pretty satisfied right now.

So we’ll see, I’ll keep moving up, but I’m not going to break the middle of anything.

Generally higher storage sizes too, right? So if you want the max storage, go with 3.5"

I’ve been really enjoying the Proton suite of mail, drive, and VPN. Don’t use proton pass because I have to log in to sites from locked-down systems too often, but the aliases tool in Proton Mail is great.

(Not a paid shill, I pay proton because I want to get away from Google)

Yeah, but ask anyone who the most lizard-person is and they’ll probably say Zuckerberg.

I’m just now realizing that Zuckerberg is a Jewish name… Ignore the point I was trying to make. I was wrong and will stop using “lizard-person” as an insult.

Literally don’t see a difference.

Yeah, I would prefer not to use Google, so I’m going to figure out how to use another authenticator. I wish Proton had the ability to be an authenticator, but I haven’t seen a way to do that yet.

But all my family has a Google account, so it just makes things easier.

I just got this working today and can say it’s quite an elegant solution. It means anyone with a Google account (that I allow through Cloudflare settings) can take advantage of immich. I plan to be the storage server for my family so they can have automatic photo backups.

If you decide to go that route and have questions, hit me up. I spent a while troubleshooting issues caused by not creating a SaaS application in Cloudflare, so read the directions exactly.

You can’t activate malware by restarting your system. There’s no reason why an attacker would wait for a restart to do what they want to do.

What can happen is that restarting doesn’t help fix anything related to malware if the malware has been written to gain persistence. It’ll edit the registry so that it can run on startup, so restarting your system makes no difference.

Hmm, I’d always understood ellipses to mean a thought was trailing off, or as a written indicator of someone thinking as if taking a pause while speaking.

I was never taught that’s what it means, just seems that’s how most people use it.

Please do, I’d never heard of this before now, but it looks interesting.

So… Cash? Cryptocurrency pegged to the dollar?

It would be so interesting to see how the internet reacts to YouTube going paywalled. It would probably kill a lot of YT creators’ revenue and views.

Or maybe people would pay for it, idk. Do people spend more time on YouTube than they do Disney+ or Hulu or Netflix, given YT Premium’s cost?

Nah, old people don’t know how to use the Internet

Maybe with T.G.I Friday’s coupons?

I have the 2021 Mazda3 Hatchback Premium Plus, so I have all the options (the COVID used car prices were great for when my previous one got totaled, the insurance company really paid out). It was brand new when I bought it. I have very few issues with it.

It’s quick, fun to drive, and feels really premium for not being priced insanely. I personally think it’s comfortable, but if you’re looking for more space, it’s probably not the way to go. For example, the front seats aren’t very usable with a rear-facing car seat in the back. The trunk space is pretty good imo. But I hate large cars in the first place.

I don’t use Android Auto or CarPlay because I enjoy the ease of use of the built-in system. The control scheme uses a dial between the seats where your arm rests, so it’s really easy to keep a hand on the wheel and navigate menus with it. There are also some quick buttons and a volume knob. The software could use a little work because sometimes album art doesn’t show up, but that’s mostly been fixed by changing Bluetooth settings on my phone. I truly don’t think there’s a better way to build a car control system.

I can’t speak on reliability of my own car, but my mom had a CX-5 and it seemed to last a good while without maintenance issues. I’ve personally had no problems so far. I’ve had good luck with Mazda dealership service too and I’ll probably stick with getting maintenance from them just so I can be sure someone who knows how those cars are built is working on it.

If Mazda comes out with an EV that has decent range and doesn’t utilize a touchscreen, I’d for sure get like, the 3rd or 4th generation of it (because 1st and 2nd Gen anything can suck.
