Home maintenance and minor fixes. I’m sure the new homeowners will appreciate that.

I’ve never actually used it. Is it like instagram reels where you can put a photo/video and music together?

Edit: Just tried it. I don’t see the appeal to be honest. A messaging app to me is just that, an app to message people. If I wanted social media to post updates of whatever, I’d use pixelfed or mastodon. The author says the advantage of Signal is the granularity of the audience of your story. IIRC, facebook and the like allow you to restrict down to specific people you want. Obviously the corporate surveillance part is a no-brainer, but if you’re specifically talking about audience filtering, it’s no different.

IMO, instead of social media features, they should try to copy some Telegram features instead (sticker packs, automation, etc.) to make it more enticing to regular users. Make it a full feature chat app instead of a social media app like instagram.

Pick a server somewhere in southeast Asia. I don’t have issues with youtube with locations outside of western and first world countries.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a plastic air fryer. That’s terrible if there is one though.

Lmao an SCP actually breaching containment.

Cryptocurrency company paying their employees in cryptocurrency. Well at least they walk the talk.

Yeah, I’m all against social media surveillance, but this was on the jumbotron at a concert. Having said that, I do hate those segments in concerts and sports where they feature audiences on the screens without consent. It’s not like there’s a line in the customer agreement when buying tickets that you allow your face to be featured (unless there is?). That’s why I always make myself as boring as possible - either just sitting with a straight face, or eating something - so I don’t get singled out.

The article says Apple claims the employee failed to report previous breaches, so maybe it’s the last of multiple strikes.

Based on the article, the youtuber and an accomplice who knew an Apple employee accessed the employee’s phone while it was unattended, so technically it wasn’t intentional and more negligence. On the other hand, Apple also claims the employee failed to report previous breaches, so maybe this was the final straw.

Our PMs don’t like making things opt-in.

This reply from one of the employees sums it up.

Hard synths vs soft synths. Hard synth purists scoff at soft synths because they are not “authentic” and merely simulations. Soft synth snobs scoff at hard synth users because they are old timers who can’t move on to the future. Both are fine, do what you want. At the end of the day, what matters is if the music you produce is actually good.

Yes, but it depends on which one you use. Some are better than others. The ones that can be hosted locally (i.e. keepass) are the most secure because you are not relying on a third party to host your password vault for you. It would be helpful to know why you think they aren’t very secure, so people can help clarify.

If they’re anything like me learning something specific to do a one-off job, they’ll forget about it as soon as it wraps up.

Hopefully they get fully back on board if they end up liking piefied. I’m fine with Tesseract becoming primarily a piefed client.
