The problem is that you actually are spamming. Almost no one wants the junk that comes out of mailchimp. It’s just they are big and powerful enough to get their spam in inboxes rather than the spam box where it belongs.

Honestly everyone could spam block mailchimp and their email experience would improve.

Depends who is paying. If it’s your own project then 5 hours of your own time might not be worth that much. If someone else is paying you then both options cost money and the equation changes.

No VPS has a shared IP address. The real problem is that the pool may have been dirtied by previous customers. But once you get a clean IP you can keep it for as long as you keep the service running.

I sent emails from a VPS for years without issues. I stopped purely because Fastmail had better software and cheaper storage.

Linux distros by default don’t support mp4. I’d say those are more common GitHub users.

GitHub issues are not stored in git. This is just video attachments in the text of issues.

Webm and webp have become pretty standard usage on the internet now. Imgur, reddit and many other major sites use it by default when support is detected. Usually when I save an image in the browser it will be webp.

Webm is one of the formats my screen recorder supports and seems to be the one my coworkers use. It’s pretty convenient since it works without having to install proprietary codecs and it even works on safari now.

Blacklisted is the specific terminology for when a website rejects certain file types. I guess in githubs case it would be that webm is not whitelisted since only 2 formats are permitted.

This is possible. Many users can be sharing the same IPv4 using CG-NAT. I have found that when using mobile internet, every site that uses IP bans has already banned me for a previous users actions.

It’s incredibly irresponsible to take action against someone based on their IP address alone.

I noticed that when running MS teams in a flatpak on wayland, it no longer has access to the mouse and keyboard input so it just shows me as online always.

The reward for Bitcoin mining is fixed. The work required is variable. If electricity costs globally shot up, there would be far smaller mining operations but the payout would be the same because the Bitcoin network adjusts its difficulty.

PoW is a beast that consumes everything it can.

“Straight white man” has become a buzzword now. Is there any evidence that any of these companies trying to ban politics were oppressing gay people?

As a gay person in tech I have never felt oppressed or heard anyone else report such a thing.

If Basecamp was engaging in this kind of discrimination then the story would be very different.

Keeping your mouth shut is no longer an option “silence is violence” and “not taking a position is a position” have taken over. The issue at Basecamp was that activists were harassing other employees to get them to make public statements on issues.

Agreed, as long as there isn’t some major issue internally (sexism/racism) that affects your ability to work, or the work itself is an issue (being made to create distasteful content for example) I don’t want to think about politics at all.

I don’t want to have outside matters pushed on me while working regardless of how much I agree with them.

I’ll happily engage in activism outside of work where people aren’t forced to sit around me every day.

About 50 per cent of calls to triple zero are made with mobile phones that are AML-capable. That includes Androids running version 4.1 and higher with Google Play services, iPhones running IOS 14.3 or later and Apple Watch GPS running 7.2 or later.

Something must be wrong about this statement. Android 4.1 came out in 2012 and almost every active iOS device runs the latest version. So where are these 50% of ancient phones coming from.

I imagine the stats come out better when using something like an iPad for notes which replaces other electronics you would have bought.

Chia is another proof of waste coin. Not what we need at all.

I wonder if Bitcoin investors will start to work out what all those regulations they avoided were for.

For critical data like that, it would make more sense to just have a modem on board. 5G should make this more possible with increased device limits.

And then the tv bricks when it can’t access the network for 10 days.

For someone who knows electricity basics, what does power factor mean and why is 0.5 bad?

Sure, but it’s still worth explaining what X is to give people context. Also the majority of question askers tend to be the ones who came up with the incorrect solution or are trying to use something dangerous to solve their problem.

They do moderate it though. They have spent a fair bit of time removing certain shooting videos.

Because Unicode emoji started out with a bunch of crap they couldn’t ever say no to new proposals because someone will say “why do we need a man levitating emoji and not skin tone modifiers?” And while we are at it, we need a woman levitating and gender neutral person levitating.

It would be less arbitrary than the visual differences between the male, female, and gender neutral emoji which are pretty much differentiated by hair length.

I’d say there are more men with long hair than nail varnish.

I agree. It’s frustrating when I want to send a thumbs up but when I type :thumbs it shows me thumbs down in 5 colours. I’m not sure what the point was when the yellow ones already covered everyone.

Although I have to say, the gender neutral emoji are the most puzzling and seem to enforce weird stereotypes. According to the Unicode spec. Men are people with short hair and blue shirts, woman are people with long hair and red shirts. And gender neutral people are people who have medium hair and grey shirts.

Apple is rarely ever the absolute first. Usually similar things have existed for a while and apple comes in and makes them much better and more accessible.

Sure, maybe apple is first this time but I have a hard time believing Apple is at the cutting edge of new medical technology.

The fact that nothing does this makes me wonder how it would be possible apple could be first. Surely if it was possible to do accurately, some other company would have released something.

Storj recommends you have a server with at least 128GB of ram and a powerful GPU before joining the network. The problem is the whole system is zero trust so you must constantly be calculating proofs to show you have all of the data and that it is always available.

It’s much more efficient to just have one large data enter with a reputation and trust. They have to store all of the data to keep their reputation.
