Fn-Control-F or hover over the green dot and pick the maximize option

I've been reasonably happy with Runbox. Decent features, pricing, and servers in Norway. The webmail isn't great, but I don't really use it. If you must have encryption, I think the only option is Tuta.

Cutting videos with copy can result in some weird playback issues if the cuts aren't on keyframes.

For manually cutting up videos, I use LosslessCut, which I think uses ffmpeg under the hood and is really helpful for finding and cutting on keyframes.

This was addressed in the accepted answer:

rapid rewarming from open campfires or other sources of dry heat caused so much devastation.....Dry heat from ....open fires....cannot be controlled. Excessively high temperatures are usually produced, resulting in a combined burn and frostbite, a devasting injury that leads to far greater tissue loss.

Sounds like it was an overreaction to applying excessive heat to the frostbitten tissue.

I wonder if open sourcing it might have been a low(er)-level engineering decision, so there wasn't any marketing/PR awareness.

I don't want to do the math, so I'll ask Perplexity to look it up

These numbers are totally wrong, and it takes about 30 seconds to look it up. It closed at 589.95 on 2024-10-11 and 172.04 on 2023-02-23. The other numbers appear to be wrong too.

Come on, I think you're just looking for things to get upset about (and not engaging with the content in any meaningful way).

Assigning specific (and colorful) names to scams/cons has always been a thing. See

- Pig in a poke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_in_a_poke

- Spanish prisoner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Prisoner

- Badger game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badger_game

- Coin smack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin-matching_game

- Pigeon drop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeon_drop

And anyway, the name seems to come from the scammers themselves in China, so I don't know why the media would be to blame.

How does that math work?

Is that relevant?

Hardening is absolutely not what crowdstrike sells. They essentially sell OS monitoring and anomaly detection. OS monitoring involves minimizing the attack surface, usually by minimizing the number of services running and limiting the ability to modify the OS

A video call is excessive, but a phone call seems fine, even good. Far better than just being ghosted after many hours of interviewing.

Seems like this may not have been an outage, but intentional while they worked on fixing a longstanding vulnerability. https://threadreaderapp.com/scrolly/1734802168723734764

I imagine you find yourself running into “left wing” stuff a lot right?

Just in case anyone else hasn't heard of "Opindia" before (the second link):

OpIndia is an Indian right-wing news website that frequently publishes misinformation. Founded in December 2014, the website has published fake news and Islamophobic commentary on many occasions. OpIndia is dedicated to criticism of what it considers "liberal media", and to support of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Hindutva ideology. According to University of Maryland researchers, OpIndia has shamed journalists it deems opposed to the BJP, and has alleged media bias against Hindus and the BJP. In 2019, the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) rejected OpIndia's application to be certified as a fact checker. IFCN-certified fact checkers identified 25 fake news stories and 14 misreported stories published by OpIndia from January 2018 to June 2020.

Oh good, we’re not the only ones. The rest of my time is spent saying I can’t help people fix problems with some old microservice my team “supports”

Answer: They aren't. The article doesn't mention a single instance of anyone actually ingesting borax, just "some TikTok users are encouraging viewers to add borax to their water"

I usually do a lot better than the advertised MPG on my Mazda

I mean everything is copyrighted anyway. It's harder to give up copyright than to keep it, so the main point is despite copyright protections, most companies do not publish their code publicly at all. For code that has to be pushed to clients, most companies even take efforts to obfuscate it.

Seriously, this 0ver nonsense makes it so much harder to deal with upgrading packages. Who cares you bump the major version frequently

I use OpenSUSE a lot for both desktop and servers, and it’s great.

The biggest downside though is that it probably has the least friendly and helpful community of any Linux or BSD distro I’ve ever used. Questions on their forums are frequently met with hostility and derision, mostly from one particularly active user

Fedora (if you’re okay updating frequently), OpenSUSE

For regular users, this has been expected. Uploading content broke (or was disabled?) late last year I believe? So nothing new has been uploaded since then, but the company never said anything or responded to reports or questions

This is an impressively long comment that adds no value. It has some long tangent about Hindi that not relevant to the point (is there a point here?), and then engages in some politically motivated whining about linguists.

I don't know, maybe you just got dumped by a linguist?

The reason for spez to be out is less the decisions and more the execution and communication. He clearly sucks at PR.

But it may the intent to have him make all the unpopular changes, have him resign with a big payout, and blame him for everything without reversing anything like they did with Ellen Pao.

Your denominator is pretty much useless in terms of measuring user impact since subreddit subscriber size is not evenly distributed.

I don't see how this proves anything. This isn't how human languages came about, there's a lot of conlang content online, and this doesn't describe a complete language anyway.

Not really relevant to this model, since this generation of MBAs are not particularly thin.

Where is that in the parent comment?

The term “infantry” derives from “infant"

No, it doesn't, do they both words do (eventually) trace back to the same Latin root.

Five hundred years later, infantrymen remain the most disposable of troops. But in Ukraine they are also the most essential

Infantry being essential describes every war.

I haven't, but I'm guessing the interest rate (4.15%) on its own is a big draw
