A great way to put actual words to people just saying “racism” as an explanation. They are not wrong, he enables people to say and do things that used to get them beat up or kicked out of an establishment. We have normalized some awful shit.

At first I thought all of the anti Proton posts was Google killing their competitor. Then there are just too many instances of the CEO being a dipshit. I want you to be right, but it is starting to look like some of this is real.

The mx server ip will be from the email provider with thousands of whitelisted domains. You get lumped in with the rest and cosidered safe. Spam filters use Bayesian statistics, the logic is not what you expect.

This is the one product used by people who care enough to do something. We already moved from Google because we hate the monopolistic enshitification and want privacy. We will move again, this dumb shit ceo doesn’t know his customer base.

When I used to work at DCs, the only people that were full time employees were security and maintenance. The rest of us were contractors that would service all of the DCs in a region. Even the guys that ran the hardware would drive around to all of the DCs owned by that operator.

The building I used to work in had more than 40 maintenance, security, and IT people. But 5000 other people worked there and it was the size of the smallest DC. They create very little jobs.

The only person that would ever call would be your criminal defense attorney that you already have on retainer. Very few people would stick around and have LE surprise them.

I was comparing API costs at home, the plans give you a lot of value. When I had to use GitHub Copilot the API cost was closer to my home cost, but whatever Enterprise plan we have through Anthropic is crazy.

It’s subsidized. I will eat my hat if the number is less than 50%. It is even crazier at work. My personal account cost 3 times as much for the same prompt on my work account. Inference cost is the same for all users, you can’t mega-ultra scale something that is at maximum scale labeled as a hyper scale.

I just assumed it was all the VPSs and it only would be 1 day before they fixed the routing. Those DC were only being used as infrastructure for routing traffic out of Russia.

Yes, I have two and they are the best mats I have used so far. One of the cats does bring a little bit past the mat because she gets the zoomies and lanches off the box.

Steam has good parental controls and if you actually parent your children you can notice if it isn’t quite set up correctly.

They would dump your data asap. They want no record that they illegally let a minor use their site.

Does the protocol use a single server application and single client application? Is it Federated and I can use my home sever account on all instances?

Synapse server is not bad for Matrix, the stack for voice, video, and auth is simple. How does XMPP work?

I honestly might prefer Teams over Element, and I have a Matrix server. Element is dogshit, it is so frustrating to admin. At least Teams gives you a full featured pile of shit.

I had a local company start ignoring my calls and emails after I send a request to cancel. I charged them back for one charge and then they charged me again. Here using someone’s credit card without authorization is wire fraud. Then they charged me a third time. Now they have 2 wire fraud charges and credit cards companies won’t take payment from them. They will most likely beat the criminal charges because corperations can basically steal from you without consequences but I had to do like 10 calls to the charge dispute department and by call 6 the agent I was dealing with was so pissed they told me they are going to blacklist them because it was a mystery how they were able to charge me repeatedly and they just needed to make it stop.

Removed by mod buddy, I own my opinions.

When you can’t make an argument, you attack the person. God forbid that you make a spelling mistake on your phone,

Because we know farmers and hear it directly from them. Do you know how they say if you have to explain yourself, you are already losing? Your right and should hold that opinion until the day you die.
