If you're a paying proton customer you can also use simplelogin.io for free to use email aliases. It generates a unique email address and forwards it to your inbox. You can reply and everything and it'll show up as coming from the alias.

I've had less issues with it than plus addressing ( where I've had sites deny the email because of the +... In the email ).

I also did it with this.

While you can change it afterwards, it might be worthwhile to check a setting in immich on how it organizes the photos on disk you upload.

I changed it to year/month/photo-id because I find it convenient, but it does not organized them like that for backups.

You can change it at a later date and run a job to "fix it", but it might be worthwhile to set it up correctly from the start ( if this matters to you ). So no harm done if you change your mind later.

Cries in being decades too late. :(

Not entirely surprised, but surprised it is that high.

When I went there 10 years ago I met people in Vegas who go there every year as their main holiday with a few thousand euro budget to gamble.

While I wholeheartedly agree with your statement about the app/site/sports betting, I don't wholly agree with the travelling comparison.

Travelling and visiting places tend to open your horizons and enrich you culturally. It's not easily generalized. Travelling to Disneyland probably won't really broaden your horizons or teach you something culturally and neither will idly sitting on a cruise ship.

You are correct that the article is more about sports betting rather than casinos like in vegas. I merely meant that given what I experienced there, I'm not surprised the gambling in apps and sports is getting out of control. That's on me though :)

Maybe I am against things like the Vegas vacations because I have such a large distaste for gambling in general. ( Loot box 'surprise' mechanics also do not help ).

What kind of company requires employees to buy their own device to do their work?

Fair enough. Though I still feel that a company either provides the device and can enforce policies, or they don't and they can't.

You have my sympathies for your situation ( though I am aware that doesn't help you very much :( )

Can we boycot the companies that do this already. I get the AC IP is nice, I've certainly enjoyed my fair share of their games.

But the ad industry is completely getting derailed. What's next ? Watch a 15s promo video every time you want to open te fridge? Watch a promo video before you can open the door?

Have your walls randomly show you ads?

Stop buying their shit. Regardless of how decent the game is. Punish them for the predatory practices. Demand refunds.

But no. People will likely be outraged, and then next game angry and then the next game they'll suck it all up and complain about the good all days.

It enticed me to start gaming on Linux. So its definitely doing some enticing

How the US does not read this as: "I was bribed by the CEO of < company > to enact policies that benefit them" is beyond me.

Be better America.

What could go wrong when you let an ad company dictate the browser standards/rules.

I know we have Firefox and some forks like librewolf, but percentage wise it feels like a lost battle ( even if I am on Firefox ).

If only people switched en masse to Firefox for the ad blocker. Wouldn't that be something... One big collective FU to Google.

Oh well. One can dream I guess.

They really want me to shift my gaming PC to Linux. Gaming is the only reason it's still in windows 10.

But now? Ads? Full time spying? And they choose to do all this at a time when proton is making gaming on Linux easier than ever?

Okay then. Heck. I'll gladly help my friends install Linux in their main device.

Hey government. This includes all your devices too. I'm sure you'll be able to turn it off, and by some bug oversight it just hides everything but not actually turn it off.

Do something about it. Stop blindly trusting bigcorp to do the right thing. They've proven time and time again they WILL NOT.

Legitimate interest is just bullshit.

Can I have your:

• wallet
• emails received
• telephone number
• pin code
• visa card numbers
• browser history
• home address
• dates you won't be home
• alarm code

I too am legitimately interested in this data.

Why are people texting their physics teacher?

Any tldr? I hate watching a video of something that, probably, can be summarized in a single fucking paragraph.

I'm also not always able to watch videos compared to just reading an article

Pretty sure banks have a pretty good track record of "keeping your money safe". Why the fork would anybody trust banks to keep their money safe if they can't keep your money safe?

I don't really understand why that statement is even on there?

Unless you mean to argue some anonimity point, which I could agree with considering e.g. Monero would be more anonymous than a bank.

But safe? I'd say the bank is quite safe to store money.

Huh TIL.

I never considered trying to install a package from a local file through apt, but always dpkg. End result is the same of course. The web suggests dpkg rather than apt as well ( or at least the pages I ended up on ).

Now only 1400$ a month to watch any show at 480p! Upgrade now to 2100$ per month for the high resolution videos? Can't afford it? Just get another job you lazy hobo!

Another is also probably the argument of "nothing to hide, nothing to fear".

People always forget that you have nothing to hide if you know what they're looking for. The problem is you don't know what they're looking for. And the thing they're looking for can change over time. And once you've given it you can't take it back.

Not to mention that while you share it with one party, they'll sell you off.

People always assume nothing to hide means not doing anything illegal that'll make you end up in jail.

They think there's somebody going through all the data and that this would be too much work. They really don't/won't understand that computers have been able to do this at scale for years.

If any bigtech company does it it's fine. But if I ask them for their unlocked phone for 10 minutes to sift through their messages with the promise I'll give them free advice on how to solve their problems it's none of my business.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lets get one thing straight.

This is rarely ever the developer and more a business stakeholder forcing you to push the Friday deploy button.

I've had somebody in the business escalating to my team lead, head of development and CIO because i flat out refused to deploy something on Friday at 16h.

So no. This is not the developer making a hard choice. There should be somebody coercing or forcing him to push the deploy button.
