I wonder what they think about their Pipeline Punch customers. Specifically, how much overlap is there with, y'know, the memes?

This is so, so phenomenally inappropriate, that it's frankly impressive.

Poor child. Imagine that happening to you every two hours.

As long as everyone is having fun, I see no problem.

If you're not having fun switching mail providers, researching Gecko forks, or being a part-time sysadmin for your Fairphone, you should probably stop doing those things.

I'd argue this counts as dog-sitting. The dog is around people in every panel, and actual sitting (i.e. doing nothing else) isn't required.

Autists will also die if a wooden stake is driven through the heart.

As they are also vulnerable to silver bullets, maybe autists are werewolves, too?

I think installing spyware on someone's device is two or three steps more drastic a measure than a simple search, which is about the extent of what a court order can authorize police to do right now. It feels conceptually close to tampering with evidence present at a (possible) crime scene. To add to this, spyware is not the same thing as installing a physical listening device in someone's home. It requires far-reaching permissions on a system, and can influence lots of other software on the same system. You'd have to have an extreme level of confidence that this won't lead to accidental or intentional planting of incriminating material. And, in my opinion that sort of load-bearing trust is not really something law enforcement has earned in the general case.

Wer regelmäßig größere Mengen an Bargeld zu tatsächlich nutzbarem Guthaben auf einem Bankkonto umwandeln möchte, weiß, dass Banken darauf wenig Bock haben und man im Geschäftsumfeld für diese Dienstleistung ebenfalls Gebühren entrichten muss. Deshalb gibt es ja überhaupt in Supermärkten das Angebot, Bargeld "abzuheben". Das ist einfach ein guter Deal für den Markt… Natürlich bekommt eine REWE oder Schwarz-Gruppe bessere Konditionen bei der Kartenzahlung als ein SMB-Gastronom, kann dafür aber auch bei Barzahlung nicht so easy die Mehrwertsteuer hinterziehen wie ein Kleinbetrieb.

Maybe check out Monster Train. That one also landed on Arcade pretty recently.

Mullvad has a 30-day money back guarantee.

Apart from that, some payment methods (like crypto) allow transmitting arbitrary amounts. At least, paying for years in advance works without issue. You could pay a few cents and try it out, but be mindful of fees.

The DMA basically says, "if Siri can work with your personal data, you have to allow the AI assistants from Zuck, Elon and Honest Achmed the same access".

At the risk of sounding like an LLM: it's not a privacy thing, it's a competition thing.

Personally, I'd be mildly interested in all the dark patterns Meta would bring to bear to finally get at Apple users' most private data. Even though it'd damage my trust in humanity even further, I guess.

It's been ten years since the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

::: spoiler Spoiler This was a plot point in that game, as well as its prequel, Ground Zeroes. :::

That's like having TCP as the hood and IP as below the hood.

Everyone is well aware it's PCIe. Some of the first NVMe devices were just PCIe cards. The funky connector is something used in consumer country.

Without starting to calculate, or looking at the code, I'd say it's obvious that an investment strategy where all of a month's contributions are made on the first day of the month will be superior to one where you spread them out. Also, an investment strategy of making the month's contributions on the last day will be inferior to spreading them.

So it'd really depend on how you time your monthly investments. If you can invest as soon as you get your monthly income, that's probably the most beneficial way to do it.

edit — Taking a quick look at your code, that's exactly what's happening. In each period, ChatGPT invests first, then lets interest accrue, whereas you let interest accrue, then invest.

Where in Settings would this be? Cellular?

If your idea of a federated Twitter is a bunch of mini-Twitters that sometimes exchange indirect replies or something, then the Fediverse fulfills that purpose completely. Mission accomplished, we can all go home now.

If your idea is that the replies to every post look the same to any user, anywhere, at any time, even the thing Mastodon merged half a year ago that supposedly fetches all replies if you remember to navigate to the topmost post, and wait up to 15 minutes for your view of the thread to coalesce, falls short.

And this is why hosting Mastodon is cheap, it fundamentally cannot provide the functionality BlueSky offers. Of course, you might think that such functionality is not desirable anyway, and that's entirely fair. But if you're looking for the immediacy that centralized Twitter gave users, I don't see a way for Fedi to ever provide that, whereas there is a path to BlueSky decentralization. It's a fact that your UX is diminished if all of your followers and followeds are not on the same instance.

But in the end, I think there is space for both.

Maybe Einstein-Rosen bridge? I'm not an expert though.

Like basically all cloud providers, Oracle publish their public-facing IP address ranges.

https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/addressranges.htm

Many services block these because, as you are pointing out, standing up VPN tunnel routing on a cloud instance is sort of trivial. Cloud providers publish these ranges specifically so anyone can block them easily. If lemmy.world is not blocking Oracle Cloud already, it's only because they just haven't come around to it.

Income tax doesn't do anything to the 1%. You have unrealized gains, and borrow against your assets? You owe zero tax.

A wealth tax, or income tax on yet unrealized gains, would be better. Of course, that comes with its own set of issues. But, I don't think they are insurmountable.
